Gold Star Group.

A group of ten Maryland Gold Star
Mothers returned to Baltimore last Sunday
after visit to France to view the graves
of their sons who were killed in the World
War. Among them was Mrs. Lncy Scott
Smith, of Rockville. A majority of the
members of the party was Baltimoreans,
and the rest were scattered through the
State. They remained in France about a
month.
France had been having very bad
weather until the day we arrived" said
one of the Mothers. when we reached
Paris the sun came out and we had clear
weather during our stay. This caused us
to be called the sunshine crowd. The trip
was wonderful. The government provided
splendid accommodations for US in Paris.
We made several sightseeing trips and a
special motion-picture show was given fol
US.
I'VE found the graves of our sons won
derfully maintained and cared for. A photo
graph of each mother standing beside the
Grave of her son was taken. We are all
very much pleased with conditions of the
eraveyards and the attention given them.

April /. and 20 per cent 10 the last month,
and in Montgomery has increased 81 per
cent since April l and II per cent since
May 1.
The acreage for harvest this year is now
estimated at 100000 acres, compared with
sos. 900 in 1880 and $4,000 10 1929.
The wheat area this year is the smallest
on record, which dates back to 1856. Con-
ditions were most unfavorable at seeding
time last fall and price prospects were not
promising.
While the crop is in remarkably good
condition at the present time, considering
the bad start it had. it is just in its critical
period. The yields finally obtained will
depend upon the weather which will pre-
vail from now until about June 20. The
plants have made rapid growth in the last
month and with favorable weather can
produce good yields. However. because of
this rapid growth they are very succulent
and will be especially susceptible to dis
ease infection should humidity remain high
for any length of time.
Condition is the highest in the northern
sections of the State. The stands are
generally thin there. but much of the wheat
there looks better than it has for several
years. This is in contrast to the Middle
town and Cumberland Valley sections where
the crop has not progressed so well. Yields
in many sections in this area are not ex-
pected to average much over 10 bushels
per acre. .
Rye condition on June was IS per
cent normal indications are for yield of
about $50 bushels per acre. Production
is forecast at 270. 900 bushels. which is the
same as the average for the five years
1925-29. Production last year was esti-
mated at $4,000 bushels. The crop i'm
proved about 8 per cent during May.
Oats has gotten off to good start and
good crop is indicated. Condition on June
l was 80 per cent of normal, which is IS
per cent higher than year ago at this
time. also S per cent higher than the l0-year
average.

the most favorable Of this year for plant
growth, with the bright warm days follow
