Farmers Face
Better Times
During 1885
Purchasing Power Is Up 20
Cents During Past
Three Years

Most Washington farmers face
brighter prospects in the year 1885
than at any time since the depression,
barring natural catastrophies such as
drouth, floods and insect scourges, de-
clares r. NJ Turner, State College ex-
tension economist. The farmers dollar
or the purchasing power of farm pro-
ducts has increased from relative
value of 60 cents in 1882 to 30 cents
on December Is, 1884, in terms of what
his dollar would buy in pre-war years
191O-14. Further improvement is ex-
pected in 1885 as the result of drastic
adjustments in agricultural production
and prices brought about by many
forces.
Improved consumer purchasing pow
err, one of the farmers friends, depends
on fuller restoration of confidence on
the part of investors as durable goods
industries have continued to lag, run
ming at only So per cent of the 1923-25
capacity for the first nine months OF
1884 On the other hand, activity in
consumers goods for the same period
was about up to normal or IS per cent
of the 1923-25 average, an important
factor in maintaining purchasing pow
er Return of full confidence will tend
to build new purchasing power by
employing large numbers in industry,
heavy construction, determination
of plants and building in general.
Washington wheat farmers will be
vitality affected by any action OF the
government to move the present sur
west. Removal of the surplus offers the
best possibility for an advance IN the
price of wheat during the balance OF
this season. With the present acreage
Of wheat planted in the United States
producing normal yields, a much larger
crop is expected than in the low wheat
year of 1884 This would accumulate
a surplus of about 1O0,O00,000 bushels
of new wheat in addition to the ex-
pected July carry-over of about 12O,-
100000 bushels.
Dairy product prices have improved
steadily during the last IL months dut
to about a four per cent reduction
in COW numbers, low feeding levels
due to high feed costs, and scarcit!
of feed and pasture in the drouth sec
tions Prices are expected to remain
fairly stable for the balance of tn

disadvantage while dairymen produc

Grace Moore sings chi de hi, no

new Columbia picture Love Me
Forever which opened last week
in Radio City Music Hall, New
York city. Never before have we
heard an audience applaud the
singing of screen character.
Every time Grace Moore sang, the
audience broke into spontaneous
applause.
Most of her songs are from Puc'
cini's opera La Boheme," al.
though just parts of various
scenes are given. 1t looks as If
Hollywood is feeling out the Amer
ican public to see if it is ready
for full-length productions of grand
opera on the screen. If they man.
age to assemble opera stars with
voices and stage presences like
Grace Moore, there can be little
doubt as to the outcome. Love
Me Forever" will appear at the
Earle starting July IL. Judging
from the Radio City Music Hall
reception, it will be necessary to
hold the picture over several
weeks.

Choral Program

For the fourth successive time
in the Community Center Summer
Festival series rain spoiled the
program last evening at the Syl-
van Theater. Rain in the after
noon yesterday was responsible
for the absence of about half of
the Nathaniel Dett Choral Society
and probably half Of the audi
ence.
However the chorus, under the
direction of Virginia Williams and
Clyde Glass, gave a program that
was characterized by the fervo1
Of the singers and the consequent
( -autiful tone color. Most of the
selections we're sung a capella
The closing group of spirituals
was especially we'll received as
they we're sung with a greater
freedom and abandon which made
this group more effective thar
some of the others.
Again the amplifying system
brought distortion to the ears Of
the audience. Unless skilled
technician handles the sound, il
would be far better to be conspicu
Gus by its absence. For spoken
plays, solo singers, and small
groups of singers, the system does
fairly we'll. But when a large
chorus or orchestra is to be picked
up, it ruins everything.
The same distortion of amplifi
cation was present when this fine
chorus gave a festival program in
the spring at the Washington
Auditorium, although not SC
noticeable as at the Sylvan
Theater last night. A sounding

Martial Overture

The 1872 Overture" the themes
of which are shown above, is one
of the most spectacular of the
works of Tschaikowsky. It was
written for the celebration of an
anniversary of the defeat of Ma
poleon when he invaded Russia.
Consequently the work is highly
descriptive. When the composer
directed it during the celebration,
in addition to a large symphony
orchestra and a brass band, he
had cannons fired at the proper
time to get the effects.
The overture opens with a
hymn.like theme and shortly the
horns sound a call to arms. There
follows great confusion of prepa-
ration for the defense of Moscow
with various sections playing fast
chromatic runs. Amidst the con-
fusion are heard fragments of the
French "Marseilles, which appear
several times and are finally over
come by the heavy tones of the
baSSes and brasses playing the
Russian hymn wi h the church
bells ringing in celebration of the
repulse of Napoleon.
