Boiled down to the core, the stru-
ggle in the international arena to-
day is centered around the question
of raw materials and markets. In a
word, the entire foundation of the
trouble is to be found in the malad-
justment of trade, or the exchange of
commodities, both nationally and in
ternationally, plus the exploitation
of colonies by imperialist powers"

Poison Fund Used Up.
THE DROUGHT. coupled with the

THE DROUGHT. coupled with the
grasshopper plague, has brought
about a situation in the West which
finds the Department of Agriculture
with a Job to do and insufficient funds
to meet the need.
Spreading of poison bait to kill the
hoppers has been found to be an efec-
tive control measure, but this year the
funds ran out long before the bait
could be applied to the extent that the
situation demands.
All the poison bait materials that
could be bought with the special funds
granted for the purpose have been
allotted to the States to aid in their
defensive battle against the grass
hopper hordes invading the central
plains. Poison bait prepared from the
$50 900 gallons of sodium arsenite and
the $500 tons of bran provided by the
Department of Agriculture already
has been spread over many Of the in
tested fields and Is being moved rapidly
TO the rest. according TO DR.. P. N.
hIllldllu VI ttiC ouA CoN Va &AAeOAASASeJ
and Plant Quarantine.
Although early Summer batting is
essential for best hopper control,
poisoning through July can be de-
pended on to prevent damage to crops
that are still green. such as corn,
alfalfa and cotton. Despite the
tremendous damage to small grains
and alfalfa already done. the corn
crop, as we'll as alfalfa that has
escaped infestation up to now, can
still be saved from grasshoppers If the
bait is spread soon enough and in
enough places. The extreme dryness
of fields where hoppers are now feed
ing makes batting particularly effective
this year.
Grasshoppers so far have been most
destructive in Oklahoma, where they
have wiped out about $4,000 acres OF
cotton and at least $4,000 acres Of
corn.

TUSCALOOSA, or the Black War
rior, Is memorialized now through

acres in the northern part Of the
State, of which l3s, 1000 acres has been
purchased by the Government and
slightly less than 10000 acres reserved
from the public domain. The land ac-
quired is suited for timber growing.
Here the hemlock of the northern
forests and the Appalachians meets
the longleaf pine of the Gulf States:
Fire protection has been provided for
and the stands of second-growth tim
ber are improving. while protecting an
important watershed about so miles
from Muscle Shoals. Recreational,
game and small wild life values are
also being developed by the Forest
Service. The forest is popular

the best of musical offerings that is
easily understandable. The remem-
brance of that discovery fingers on,
surrounded by its own intimate ap-
peal. One wishes to experience again
that beautiful moment which the
music disclosed and one becomes eager
to learn If other numbers are equally
potent in providing that inner glow.
Thus does music operate in its proper
field, touching that finer essence in
the soul, so seldom aroused, the
potentialities of which transcend all
intellectual exercise.
IN THIS country, in particular, music
! has too long been relegated to those
who, because they are endowed with
a liking for it, have made OF 1t
major study. Such students are
needed if we are to improve as q
musical nation. but what we need
still more is increasing numbers OF
people who have grown to love the
sound and the meaning OF good music,
irrespective of any special knowledge.
This is what the Sunset Sym
phonies" of last Summer accom-
plished, and this is what the
'symphonies on the Potomac" can
carry on this year. The charm OF
the entire idea is still in operation.
At the feet of the audience flows the
romantic river, pursuing its destiny
with the same ageleSs rhythm
Above. the benign heavens calmly
hold omnipotent secrets, while round
about the magnificent memorials re-
mind one of those great men whose
inner lives partook Of the same
grandeur and largess that the sky and
river signify. Into this harmony OF
greatness flows the loveliest speech OF
man, music, whose fount Of lnsplra-
ton springs only from a divine
source.
Amid the frenzied striving Of
mortals to make their existence I'M
portant, few are the moments when
they transcend their mortality. Yet
on these evenings, when the union OF
nature and music is effected, a clearer
comprehension of the finer elements
provided for our use. a happier spirit
toward our living and deeper real
ization of the beneficent planning OF
all things must be engendered. The
Summer symphonic series Is great
asset to community life and should
be Fundamentally supported.
