WORLDS OLDEST MUSIC
TO BE ON AIR TONIGT

When the radio audience hears
THE Lamentations" by Palestine
tonight at o'clock from VIDAL
Baltimore, they will be hearing
some Of. the oldest and greatest
church music in the world. The
music will be interpreted by the
choir of Emmanuel Protestant Epis
copal Church, Baltimore, as a
tenebrae service. The "Lamenta.
tons are being sung in the Sis
tine Chapel at Rome today-just
as they have. been sung there dur
ing holy weeks since 1860 when
they were first composed.
Music lovers the world around
owe Pierluigi da Palestrina prob
ably a greater debt than any
other individual composer - I'M
less it be Johann Christian Bach,
and had it not been for Pales-
trina the chances are there
would have been nothing for
Bach to do. At a time when
lazy choir masters were singing
church services to lewd street
tunes and the church was
seriously considering placing its
ban ON music, Palestrina saved
it from such1a fate.
He was almost alone in his
fight, with the whole better ele-
1nenf of society and the church
arrayed against him. But the
genius Of his music WOn-and
music was saved to the world.
If anyone doubts the exactness
of that statement just let him
think what hapCens to things
upon which the ban Of the church
is set!

storm put wire connections out of

world has travelled during the past
five years of radio progress. With
wires down between Washington
and WIS big New Jersey plant,
WRC had to depend on hastily
assembled impromptu program in
place of the features advertised for
the evening. The voice of the silent

POISON GAS IN WARFARE
WAGED BY INSECT LIFE

While DR.. r. A. Cushman, of the
Bureau of Entomology didn't say so
In Just these words in his talk on
bug VS.. Bug" from WRC last
night-yet his hearers got the in
formation that insect life uses poison
gas in its constant state of warfare,
and that this warfare Is a very
valuable asset to human, life and
comfort. Bugs are valuable because
they kill other bugs, the scientist
said. The way to save the world
from one form of pest is to set
another form of pest proving on
the first. And that is what the
scientists are constantly doing.
With its increased power to
send out its programs, WIT,
Chicago, appears to be getting
better and better programs, and
last night, with male quartet,
contributed one of the big feat
ures of the continental radio con-
cert. 1t was continental. rather

System Of Yarding Aids
Fight on Poultry Pests

Poultry diseases and parasites,
which are serious enough under even
good methods Of flock management,
are doubly bad when the poultry on
the farm is not controlled under a
definite system OF yarding, it is point
ed out by poultrymen at the college
of agriculture, University of Illinois.
Ordinarily, hens are allowed to run
in the barnyard and every place about
the farmstead. AS result, the soil
becomes so contaminated that trouble
is likely to occur. Then, too, in the
case Of disease infection or work In
festation it Is difficult to find clean
ground near the hen house. Remedies
cannot be relied upon, to relieve the
infection or infestation without the
use of clean ground. II two yards
are provided for the mature flock one
of these yards can be .plowed up,
cropped and kept free Of chickens for
a year while the other Is being used
for range. The first requirement for
success in the poultry business is
healthy flock and one cannot be sure
of the latter without the use Of clean
ground, the poultrymen say.

Improved Roads Bring
Dollars to Minnesota

One way that good roads bring
money to Minnesota is related in a
letter received by G. NJ. Babcock, Min
nesota state highway commissioner,
from H. E. Milliken of Omaha. Mr..
Milliken wrote for a couple of Mime
sofa maps early in the season and
after his trip he wrote to Mr.. Bah
cock:
"These maps were of great service
to myself and family during the past
three weeks which we spent in most
enjoyable 2,500-mile tour about the
state of Minnesota.
IT haven't any doubt but what there
are some taxpayers in your state, just
the same as in this state, who COM
plain bitterly about the tax to build
the Minnesota roads, and If 1t might
comfort such at all, there is about five
hundred and fifty dollars of hard-to-
borrow Nebraska money in the state
of Minnesota now, which wasn't there
three weeks ago.
Seriously, the roads are wonderful,
well built and well patrolled, and we
expect to spend more time on them In
future summers"

Prepare Bees Properly
for Cold Winter Season

The average bee-keeper is in the
business because he is interested in
the subject and because he wishes to
make profit out of the business.
Profit comes not only from the sale
Of honey, bees or queens, but sure
source Of profit is often overlooked in
the opportunity to produce honey more
economically. says the Bookkeeping
News. Production methods should be
studied and short cuts adopted. Every
pound of honey increased in the
colony production without increasing
the cost is that much profit made.
Save the bees this winter. Losses
in the entire eastern states last win
ter amounted to over so per cent.
Many Of the remaining colonies were
too weak to produce surplus clover
honey. This was a zig factor in the
small white honey crop this summer.
Winter stores Of honeydew and honey
from fall flowers contributed to the
heavy losses.
Salient points in the successful win
tering Of bees are: vigorous queens,
a good-sized cluster OF young bees,
plenty of stores Of good quality and
lots Of winter protection. All old or
failing queens must be replaced be-
fore brood rearing ceases. The mat
ter Of food and protection should be
given attention before hard freezing
comes. The bees lose rapidly in vital
ity in freezing temperatures.

Farm Forest Is Now
Good Savings Bank
Condition of Timber Is De-
Gliding Loan Factor.

The farm forests are the farmers
best savings banks and in many In
stances the presence or condition Of
the timber on farm is the deciding
factor In the making or refusing Of
loan by banks.
''We believe that the farm forest is
one of the best savings banks that our
farmers have" says R. w. Graeber,
extension forester for the North Caro-
lima State college. sour, demonstra-
lions show that the timber land can
be made one of the most profitable
parts of the farming business and we
know of some banks which always
give special consideration to the tim
Der on the farm in making loans Sc
cured by first mortgages on farm real
estate"
Mr.. Graeber states that the Federal
Land bank Of Springfield, Mass, con-
siders that stand of merchantable
timber is liquid asset and stand Of
young timber increases in value each
year. These two facts make for safety
IL SAdAliAS q iOuS-tiiuc uUHCdudDiS
loan. 1t is this banks experience that
farms with good woodlots sell readily.
but after the merchantable growth is
removed, their value is apparently de-
preciated more than the actual stump
age value Of the timber removed. For
example, the bank says that a we'll
timbered farm which would sell for
$4,000 would not sell for over $1,000 If
stripped of timber that had a stump
age value Of only $1,000.
Timber fills in the waste spaces and
balances out the farm. states Mr..
Graeber. 1t is crop that has stead
lily increased in value while other farm
crops have been subject to ruinous
prices in some years.
