in the Midwestern drought areas.
Immediately on receipt of a tele-
gram from Secretary Wallace at Du-
luth, approving the program, Jesse
w. Tapp, chairman of the Agricul-
ture Departments Drought Commit
tee, indicated $4,000 ,OO0, 600 had been
made available for the purchases.
The Secretary instructed Tapp to
move at once to develop preliminary
plans for purchasing and processing
part Of the cattle being forced of
the range because of extreme drought
conditions in the Northwest"
Tapp said that after several days
required for organization, the A. A. A.
would begin to make limited open
market purchases at such terminal
markets as Chicago, st. Paul, Sioux
City and Omaha.
Details OF the program. he added
would be drafted to meet drought

Meat products obtained from the
cattle purchased by the A. A A e.
and the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation will be turned over to
State relief agencies for distribution.
AN extensive cattle buying pro-
gram will not be necessary" Tapp
said, ''it sufficient rainfall is received
during the next 10 to Is days in areas
not now seriously affected by the
drought. These areas then would be
able to absorb the stocker and feeder
cattle forced of the range But we
will get some machinery set up so
that We will be ready to step in If
necessary after this critical period Z"
Prices for cattle were reported two
to three times higher than during the
last half of 1884, when as a drought
relief measure, the Government
bought 8,280,00O head from farmers
in "A States. Officials said that the
emergency purchase program this year
would differ from that of 1884 since
farmers would receive no benefit pay
ments in addition to the purchase
price. In the previous program.
farmers received benefit payments
upon an agreement to participate in

In Cleveland DR.. Kinder. who has
just spent two months abroad, will
conduct nl1fdnnr ;os
similar to the one he led here last
season
With regard to organizing a sym.
phony, Dr. Kinder said:
Last Summer. through the united
efforts of all, materislized the first
vision Of Summer concerts in Wash.
ington. I wanted them this Summer
greater than before. But to achieve
them again, We once more needed
concerted effort on the part Of all.
Difficulties Numerous.
Giving and arranging great con
certs is not as easy as it seems. Il
needs not just wishing for them, bu
countless other factors. Besides the
necessary musical talent on the par
Of the players and the conductor, il
needs inspiration on the part of the
original organizer, the ability tG
transmute this inspiration into some
thing practical. 1t demands organi-
zatory power. enthusiastic conviction
and the ability to convince others.
"Persuasiveness Is needed; courage
in the face of innumerable practical
and artistic difficulties; knowledge OF
people; constant strength and will
power; high idealism, and, more than
anything else. integrity. With these
you can start what will amount to
weeks and months Of planning and
detail, and never once can any one
of the aforementioned qualities be
absent If the end is to be great and
worthy, such as music for the Capt.
tai should be. A 'good-enough' atti-
tude Is the worst curse ip art"
DIR. Kinder recalled watching
Arturo ToScanini, the great conduc-
tor, rehearse q symphony orchestra in
Paris, France, q few days ago.
THAT was not bad" ToScanini told
the men, after particular passage,
"but it was not very good . And
when it is not very good, it is very
