JUDGE M0TTER MAY RUN
Candidacy Would Prevent Bit
ter Contest in Montgomery
County.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md. March %, 1912.
Much interest has been aroused in this
county by the announcement that there is
possibility Of Judge John c. Motter of
Frederick becoming a candidate for the
republican nomination for associate judge
of this circuit to succeed himself
Judge Motter has all along declared that
he would not be a candidate for the NOM
ination, but it is said that recently such
pressure has been brought to bear upon
him that there is a possibility that he will
reconsider and allow the use of his name.
Judge Motter is sixty-seven years old,
and. if elected, would reach the age limit
of seventy years two years after taking
the oath of Office

Hauling Big Seine.

At the Gums fishing shore, operated by
Capt. Polly" Gibson. the hauling Of the
big seine was started several days ago,
and Windmill point and Passapatanzy
fishing shore have been in operation for
several weeks, but as yet only bunch fish
perch, rock. cats and the like-have been
caught. Reports from the lower river
state that few shad and herring have
been caught, but in the bay they are be-
ing taken in the nets in numbers and are
slowly working their way toward the
Potomac With good, warm weather they
should appear in numbers early In the
coming month, but cold weather will keep
them back.
At the local fish wharf. foot of 18th
street. all preparations have been made
Tor handling the fish. The packing houses
have their sailing tables in place sup
plies of salt are on hand and the big
hogsheads in which the fish are cured
have been coopered and made ready 1t
is stated that the cutting and packing of
the fish will be started as soon as herring
begin TO arrive in any quantity and the
packing houses here are ready to handle
many millions of herring if they can get
them. Salt herring packed at this city
have wide reputation, and during the
season many thousand barrels are ship
ped to the west, where the demand is
large.

Would Prevent Bitter Fight.

1t is believed that if he becomes a
candidate and is elected the legis-
lature would extend his term after he
reaches the age limit. he being unusually
active in both mind and body.
There is believed to be no doubt that il
Judge Motter will consent to accept the
nomination 1t will be rendered him. and
it is considered equally likely that he
would be elected by large majority.
With Judge Motter a candidate for the
nomination. the threatened bitter fight be-
tween Arthur d. Willard and former
State Senator Frank c. Norwood prob
ably would be averted, as it is not
thought either would continue in the con-
test in opposition to Judge Motter.

PREPARE
FOR COMING SEASON
Crews at the Shores Are Kept
Busy 0verhauIing Nets
and Boats.

From Alexandra along the Potomac
river to it's mouth and all over the Chesa-
peake bay the fishermen are now very
busy preparing for the coming spring
fishing season and for the run Of shad
and herring that is just beginning, and
which will be in full swing in a short
time. The crews at the fishing shores
that will operate haul seines, the trap
net fishermen and the drift-net men are
employed. almost night and day, in over
hauling nets and boats preparatory to
starting work.
The lower Potomac and Chesapeake bay
are covered with poles for trap nets, and
on them many of the nets are in position
and more are going on every day. Room
is being left between nets, projecting out
from either shore, for the steamers to
pass through, and that is about all, and
in the river traps are being placed about
as thick as mushrooms grow in a dark,
damp place. At Fairy Landing and Chap
mans fishing shores the crews are pre-
pairing to dip their nets. and early the
coming month the hauling of the seines
will be started.

Drop Conditions Continue Ideal

The advance OF the season has
brought no decline In the favorable
conditions for farming. The four
days of continued rain and snow of
two weeks ago left the soil in a
soggy condition and 1t was feared
that the ground would bake and re-
tard the coming up of the beets and
peas. and 1t did to some extent, but
during the past week the surface of
the ground has again mellowed
nicely and no damage or detriment
has resulted to the growing crops,
The work of blocking and thinning
the beets is In full swing and the
stand Is good. 81 i-..
Onion growing for market has
been taken up by a number of
farmers In this district and there is
quite . large acreage in that crop.
E. Callahan has ten acres on his
farm west of town and Louie Cruik-
shank has . tract of the same size
and is preparing 80 acres for cab
bages on the Callahan farm. The
stand OF onisns Is first class aiaa
the small plafiSs are making splendid
growth. The fAtroduction of the
culture Of peas. dktons and cabbages
and the favorable progress which
those crops are maSing will prob
ably result in a consiaefabfe extern

eevrything known about the potato

halftones and drawings.
Before he had provided for pub
fishing the book the author had in
his possession signed contracts for
more than $4,000 copies. These con.
tracts were signed by many OF the
heads OF the great railway systems
who expect to distribute them

Thousands OF individual orders and
requests have also been received and

negotiate with the Rockefeller
Foundation for the sale Of large
number to be used on the Rocke-
