APRIL CROP REPORT FOR MARY.
LAND

College Park, Md, April 10.-Condi
ton of the winter sown crops is or
the whole satisfactory. termination
in some quarters has been irregular
delayed by dry weather last fall. And
in few areas the cereals have been
injured somewhat by the severe winter
colds, where there was lack of suf-
ficient snow-covering; according to a
statement issued to the press today
| by John S. Dennee, agricultural sta
tistician for the United States Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates, CO.
operating in crop statistics with the
Extension Division of the University
of Maryland.
On April l the growing condition of
wheat in Maryland was found to be
SO per cent of normal, against 95
on April l a year preceding, and SO
per cent. the average condition on
April l for the past ten years. Aver
age price paid the farmer was $1.31
per bushel, against $1.44 on April
last year. Condition of rye was 80 per
cent, against SO a year ago, and SS
per cent. the ten-year average of con-
dition on April l.
March was generally favorable to
crops and fruits. Locally, heavy rains
fell hindering farm activities. The
land was so wet as to be practically
unworkable. Towards the end of the
month mild and drier weather pre-
vailed and field work became gener-
al. Preparations for spring plowing
went forward briskly, though some
what delayed behind the seasonal
average in some districts due to the
unfavorable weather.
Highly optimistic reports concerning
the fruit prospect pour in from all
land growers say they are looking for
a bumper crop this year as result
of the seasonal weather.
Tobacco farmers are now sowing
their beds. Many farmers are sowing
several beds because of the crop
shortage last year, thereby assuring
enough plants for transplanting when
the proper time arrives.
The Eastern Shore says early truck |
crops are advancing satisfactorily.
Livestock are in good condition. |
There is plenty of feed.
Pastures over the State are green
ing nicely. =
Brood sows are slightly e per cent? |
in excess of the number on the farms |
a year ago. Better prices of late for
hogs have made farmers optimistic,
with a tendency to increase the num-
ber of hogs.
Farm labor is reported in adequate
per cent ~ what was
available a year ago, and 95 per cent 7
in comparison with the normal supply.
The demand for labor is reported as
30 per cent of what it was one year
ago; indicating ratio of 119 of sup
ply to demand. But farmers insist
hat they are short of funds; that the
continued low prices farm products
Ire fetching prohibit employment of
Ill the farm help they need, necessi-
ating their doing much of their work
With the aid of their families. Few
reports, say, are willing to
lesert the city streets for the farms
It the wages farmers are able to pay
It this time.

FOUND DROWNED
BODY OF HARVEY 6ARTRELL, WHO KILL
ed ARTA JENKINS, DISCOVERED IN
MONOCACY, ENDS SEARCH OF SIX
WEEKS.

Hardly recognizable, the body oi
Harvey Gartrell, 20, Morgans, who
shot and instantly killed Arta Iris
Jenkins. II, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Jenkins, Berrett, six weeks
ago. was found in the Monocacy river,
near Frederick Junction, Sunday
noon.
The body Of the youth, who had
been rejected by Miss Jenkins, was
found almost exactly six weeks to the
hour from the time of the crime at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George w.
Hess, at Buckeystown, grandparents
oi the girl, with whom she had been
making her home. The recovery of
tbe BODY ends the long search, which
puzzled the officers, who thought that
D0ssiblY Gartrell had escaped, follow
ing his mad automobile ride from the
Hess home from a point near Fred
srick. where he jumped into the
NOnocacy river. 1t likewise fuffills
the prophecy Of Santry Gartrell, faith
sr Of the youth, who told officers he
was confident that his son would new
fr be captured alive and that he
would either drown or shoot himself.
The body was found by Walter Har-
man and rested submerged against
q portion of an abandoned fish pot
wall. Sheriff James A. Jones was no.
tifed, and identification made. In the
pockets were found two watersoaked
letters signed "Arta," a locket con-
tanning small picture of the girl, a
wrist watch and another small watch,
and an automobile registration card ON |
which was the blurred name OF Gar
trell. He wore brown suit of cloth
ing and brown shoes.
Following the disappearance of |
Gartrell after the shooting at Buck
eystOwn. an empty purse, a photo
graph, and a letter were found on the
bank Of the Monocacy, about a mile
and a half east of Frederick 1t is
thought that Gartrell jumped into the
flooded river at this point. His body
washed about mile and a half down
stream.

we're held for the May term of grand |

a good home. but within few
days she ran away. and was found
at Barelas, in the home of man
she said was her uncle. Inquiry

mother is living, ana when she was

girl who was taken up by the po-
lice with the Barela girl. remained
two days on a job that was secured

looked out upon the street. 1t
faced South, which pleased Cora.
That room the owner would paper,
and perhaps paint, although the
kitchen needed painting far more,
and If he would do but one room
it must be the kitchen. The apart
ment consisted of a fair sized bed
room, the kitchen, a small bath
room, and two really good clothes
closets. There were two or three
boxes in the rooms, although they
We're scrupulously clean, as far as
any other rubbish was concerned.
"Be sure you leave those boxes
here" Gladys said, until we de-
eide. We might need them"
"All right, Miss" Dugan put
them in the larger closet. They'll
be all safe there, Miss"
"Our chairs!" Gladys whispered
in an aside to Cora.
"Can you give us the refusal
save the rooms for us until tomor-
row night" Cora asked. 1--WE
can't come up during the day. We
are all working girls"
'Shure / will, Miss. I won't let
no one see Them" he looked at
Nellie and chuckled. Its me will
be glad to have the colleen from
ould Ireland in here"
"And it's me will be pleased to
be here, Mr.. Dugan," Nellie said
so seriously, her eyes dancing, that
Gladys and Cora could scarcely
keep a straight face.
They stayed in the rooms for
half an hour after Dugan had been
called away, planning where they
could put beds, where the couch in
the living room should be placed
and so on.
Were COINS to be awfully dis
appointed If we don't get 1t,
Gladys said with "a long sigh.
"Shure, well get it," Nellie
laughed.
"You little fraud making that
old Irishman think you were as
Irish as he"
"Why not, That's what Cora
calls tact. Isn't it, Cora?"
"Yes, Nellie you were very
clever. But where are we to get
reference? ! have thought per-
haps Miss McBride-but would the
owner accept her? She's only a
young woman, mans reference
would be better"

selves away.

Extensive Improvements being
made to the Washington apart
ments at Tenth street and West
Central avenue, will make the rear
of the building fully as attractive
as its front. A cantilever porch,
supported by massive concrete
piers and the full width of the
building, is being erected by j. u.
Eakin, the owner. The effect is
colonial, in keeping with the re-
mainder of the building. The court
in the rear of the structure Will
be paved with concrete. A new
concrete outbuilding for storage
also has been erected. The new
porch will be appreciated by ten
ants. as It affords a fine view and
a splendid airing place, Mr.. Eaklh
intends to heautify the rear of the
building with vines and flowers, as
has been done on the front and
sides.
