Alloys Compete With Steel

Light alloys of nOn-metallic resins
that have strength comparable with
steel are strong competitors of metals.
These substances have long been asso-
clated with pipe stems, lunch trays,
bracelets, and other novelties, but now
they are being made into castings for
heavy manufacturing equipment with
success. Used with asbestos filler,
resins can be nodded into pieces of al
most any size. The resulting "cast-
ings" are much lighter than similar
ones Of iron.

Viola Has Part All Its
Own in Orchestra Work

The viola is exactly like the violin,
except that it is One-fifth larger and
has heavier strings, notes writer in
the Washington Post. 1t is tuned q
fifth below the violin, its strings thus
giving c, G, D and A, the deepest tone
being an octave below middle G on the
piano.
The viola Is played in a manner sim
liar to that used for the violin, except
for the greater stretches in lingering,
due to the greater length of the strings.
The dull, mOurnful tone of the viola
comes from the fact that its strings
are thick. The extra depth is attained
by increasing the thickness of the
strings, which always makes the tone
less brilliant. Thus, the viola gets q
tone color of broOding melancholy.
The viola plays the third part in the
string quartet, which consists Of first
and second violin, viola, and viOlOn-
cello. This does not mean that it is
always below the two viOlins in pitch,
for the string quartet depends upon
interest and variety in the leading of
its four parts, and sometimes the viola
may be playing the highest note of a
chord.
In orchestral work the viola has
much the same duty. 1t is often called
upon for its special tone color, but us
ually it Is found playing in four-part
harmony with the first and second vi.
olins and violoncellOs In the Eight
eenth century its role was more hum
BILE, and 1t was often compelled to fol-
low the bass viOl.

FARM BOYS URGED TO MAKE MOST
OF THEIR COLLEGE OPPORTUNITIES

Grafton now being taught in state
agricultural colleges and UNIVERSE
ties include standard training in CO.
operative marketing and purchas-
ing, accounting methods. history of
cooperation, and study of manage
ment problems and agricultural
business cooperation in general.
These classes and laboratories OF
cooperative technique are taught by
men who are not only experts but
leaders in American agricultur,'
Meyers said.
For Farmers the farm credit
governor declared, cooperation Is
r5t an idea or a nostrum but
means by which individual farmers,
working together in marketing or
purchasing, can do a more effective
and a more profitable farming bus
iress. Cooperative marketing Of
farm products and purchasing of
supplies amounts to hundreds OF
millions of dollars annually. The
cooperative credit system under
supervision of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministfation embraces nearly MIL
lion voting farmer stockholders.
That American. agriculture is COM
mitted to the policy OF cooperative
development is indicated not only
by this tremendous business and
membership but also because the
training of future farm leaders In
our agricultural colleges includes
the study of sound cooperative prac-
tices.
In spite of the many difficulties
which have confronted the 70-year-
old farmer cooperative movement
in this country, the sales of farm
commodities sold through coopera-
tive associations during the recent
marketing season aggregated nearly
two billion dollars, and the purchas-
ing of farm supplies by cooperatives
primarily engaged in that activity
amounted to $50 million dollars, the
highest amount on record. Over H.
600 marketing and purchasing asso-
Citations have a membership OF over
two million farmers who are un-
ouestionably doing a better job OF
selling their crops and buying their
supplies because of their organized
effort.
For reasons of business efficien-
cy at least, it should be the ambl-
tion of every farm boy who has the
advantage of an education to study
and equip himself not only in the
technique of cooperation, but equip
himself also for leadership in CO.
operative agricultural development.
