Indian Music All Vocal.

The music of the American Indians
Is solely and simply vocal. 1t seems
to be generally agreed by musical au-

in them nothing borrowed from instru-

An Indian melody never serves two
sets OF words. There is no Instance,

to the same air. A large proportion
of Indian songs are entirely without
words at all. syllables being employed
to carry the tones. Perhaps the most

is the lack of definite pitch. The In

AGRICULTURE PLANS
FOR NEW CROP YEAR,
OPTIMISM PREVAILS

Moderate optimism prevails in the
agricultural industry despite the un-
certainty OF European markets to Luy
American farm products. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in its monthly agricultural re-
view published today
The South is optimistic and plain
" intends TO plant more cotton The
Corn Belt apparently thinks rather
better OF corn than it did a year ago
but finds some difficulty in making
up its mind about hogs. The Rang
County is outspokenly for sheep but
saying little about cattle"
Prices of agricultural products are
regarded as high enough to maintain
production of most of the importan
products. with the possible exception
OF potatoes. Cotton and wool head
the list of important products in pur-
chasing power per unit, and produe
ers OF fibers seem to hold a some
what stronger position in the price
outlook than producers of food, the
department says.
1.-THE South looms large in the
whole agricultural situation. If cor
tinental Europe materially cuts down
purchases of our wheat and pork this
year, cotton may become something
of key crop. Well-informed men
consider that another billion dollar
cash crop in the Cotton Belt would go
long way to Offset a failing Euro
pean market for wheat and meat"
In general, crop prices are now rel
atively higher than livestock prices,
due partly to the present price of cot
ton. Eggs and butter are the only
products showing a price decline TO
the month, but this is usual at the
season. Prices accommodates other
than food that farmers buy also ad
vanced so that the January general
index of purchasing power of farm
products in terms of other commod
tiles as worked out by the department
stood unchanged at 6S.
A feature of the agricultural situa-
ton in January was an increase in
the marketward movement from
farms of corn, hogs, and cattle
whereas shipments usually fall off
slightly as compared with December
Stocks of eggs in cold storage Febru
airy l were only slightly more thar
the average on that date in preceding
years, the tremendous surplus of colo
storage eggs at the beginning of the
season having been almost totally
