INCORPORATION PLAN FAILS.
Mount Rainier and Additions May
Now Unite, Leaving Out Brentwood.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
MOUNT RAINIER, Md, April Z. 1909
meeting of the citizens of Mount
Rainier. Brentwood. Cottage City and
Randalltown was held last night at Fire
mems Hall to hear the report of the COM
mttee appointed to canvass the sentiment
for Incorporation in these communities.
A. l.. Hughes was chosen permanent
chairman and c. f. Jones as secretary.
The committee report was read by Mr.
Jones.
The committee was unable to accurately
gauge the sentiment of the citizens on the
subject. Some were found to favor in
corporation. some were against It, some
for it conditonally and others SO unen-
lightened as to the form of the charter
to be asked for that they declined to eX-
press opinion. The committee made no
recommendations.
DIR. ]. F. keenan, offered the following
resolution:
THAT it is the sense of this meeting
that this community is not yet ripe for
incorporation. and that it is not wise to
ask the next session of the legislature for
a charter of incorporation"
This resolution was adopted without de-
bate. The meeting adjourned sine die.
The sentiment against incorporation in
any form being largely confined to Brent
d, wood subdivision. steps will now be taken
by the residents of the subdivisions of Mt.
Rainier Rogers Addition to Mount Rain
Ter, Rhode Island Avenue Addition to
Mount Rainier and the Second Addition
to Mount Rainier to secure q charter of
incorporation for that territory under the
name of Mount Rainier. /.

Other points to be remembered this sea-

is casual water; that shot out of bounds
from the tee may be re-teed. but through

looking for lost ball must signal to oth-
ers to pass and must wait until they go

Mr.. Edmond Martin then gave the
Club a most thoroughly practical talk
on corn culture, giving his actual ex-
p~erience for the past twenty years or
more. He had succeeded well and
found best results in converting corn
into meat, milk, lard, etc., instead Of
buying Western products. Over
$780, 900 is spent every year by
farmers for Chicago and Kan.
sas City meats, etc, that
might just as we'll be kept at home in
the pockets of our people. In corn cul-
ture break the ground very deep in
the fall and plant corn in March and
April in rows five feet apart. Cover
seed very shallow and when about
nine inches tall harrow over the corn,
barring off within 10 or Is days after
ward. Bar off deep one side at a
time. not too near the plant and in
a few days cultivate the other side.
Throw two burrows to the corn and
then burst middles with double pillow
alternatively, as above. Plant peas
when laying corn by.
Mr.. Martin makes fifty to sixty bush
els of corn to the acre, but never sells
any, keeping it for stock, chickens,
etc. The most important thing is to
get good seed, and this can be done by
attention to selection every year.
Roger corn (gourd seed sort) is the
kind Mr.. Martin COWS. He follows a
system of rotation and keeps his field
in a fine state of cultivation. Bend
the corn when the ear begins to
harden. Mr.. Martin has no trou-
BILE with insects in his corn, but
thinks salt will keep out weevils.
High Life was said to be good also.
He had found no results in planting in
the O. and always governed HIM
self by the weather and condition of
the soil. Laid by corr when it was
three feet high. Prof Agate described
the method adopted by western farm
ers of narrowing the corn just as it
began to peep out of the ground.
Mr.. Perrin recognized the method
adopted by Mr.. Martin, known as al
ternate cultivation, Is n having the
least chances to the damages resulting
from careless cultivation. The points
are gained always in leaving three
sides Of the plants roots undisturbed
