Fears Rough Season
For Turkey Growers

Unless feed prices are unusually low
this summer and fall, turkey growers
are likely to find less favorable year
ahead, predicts w. H. bankers, extern
sion marketing specialist at University
Farm, st. Paul.
Latest reports of turkey growers to
the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Ser
vice show that:
They intend to buy per cent fewer
poults from commercial hatcherieS.
They expect to hatch per cent more
poults at home.
They had Z per cent more breeding
stock on hand than year ago.
Cold storage holdings of turkeys on
March were "a million pounds COM
pared to 81 million a year ago and a
five-year average of &c million, Dan
kers reports. Later developments may
change growers plans but the present
outlook is not favorable to high profits

Organ Pine Cactus

The Organ Pipe Cactus national
monument in southwestern Arizona
preserves a plant and an animal
species found nowhere else in the
United States. The organ pipe cac-
tus is related to the giant Saguaro,
but has multiple stems, as many as
70 springing from the same root.
The almost extinct Sonoran bighorn
sheep roams in the monument.

radio barrages of words directed
against Great Britain.
Hitler's purpose is to try to
undermine British morale as a
preliminary movement to throw
ing the civilian population into
confusion if and when the delayed
German offensive against the
British Isles begins. This action,
called the strategy of terror, :"

Belgium and France.
Its use is being directed against
civilians, more especially women
and children. Efforts TO terrorize
trained troops are old in the
history of warfare.
The war whoop and painted
faces of Indians, the frenzied cries
of African natives advancing into
battle, grotesque masks formerly
worn by oriental warriors are ex-
amples of terror strategy. which,
however, have been discarded by
modern armies as useless against
disciplined soldiers.
But warfare now seeks civilian

that such a program should be
based on actual need after an in

The house military affairs group
heard Benjamin c. Marsh. execu-
tive secretary OF the Peoples
Lobby, oppose the draft bill as
"Hitler's first victory in America E"
He proposed an amendment under
which members Of congress would
be forced TO resign from their posi-
tons and accept s2i-a-month jobs
as military trainees.

was in Poland ?" asked Chairman
Andrew J. May.

said Thomson, demanding that
Marsh confine his testimony TO the

A moment later, when Marsh
asserted that the bill was "A dis

in expectation that civilians. and
more especially mothers Of young
children, can be forced TO plead
for peace and surrender.
German broadcasts in English
tuned To British receiving sets are
now reaching the climax OF fear
propaganda by telling British
mothers that no matter where
their children may be they will
be unable to escape bombing. once
the German air blitzkrieg starts.
The German broadcasters. too.
are declaring that If British men.
not formally incorporated into
military service. try to oppose Ger.
man invaders. they will be shot
when captured.
The effect of the fear weapon
on the British people is not yet
apparent in any way advantageous
to Germany. Little pressure is
being brought to bear on the
British government by British
mothers to move their children out
of the country. Only a fraction
of per cent of British children
has left the British Isles.
The use of fear as an advance
weapon depends for its effective
ness largely on the emotional
characteristics of the population
of threatened country. The
British are Unconditional.
In Belgium, Holland and France
the fear complex shown by the
people was due principally to the
unexpectedness of the German
attack and the unpreparedness Of
the civilian populations.
Great Britain has received in
Vulnerable warnings from Ger
many, so that surprise is impos-
sible. The whistling bombs have
produced jokes in British news
papers and cartoonists have pic
tured German fear propaganda in
ironic manner.
German knowledge OF interna-
tional psychology has much in
creased since the last war. but the
stolid character of the British
people is the most puzzling of all
for the Germans to understand.

the contrary, sends the visitor away
with many doubts and misgivings.
There are some excellent nudes,
notably one by Roy Barnes of the
Grand Central School of Art, New
York. There is a very charming
painting of a mother and child by
Anne Allaben from the same school
but painted in an entirely different
manner. Jack Lambert, of the Uni
versity of Illinois, shows a portrait
study of Mexican, well drawn and
painted; Walter D. Condit, of the
Pennsylvania Academy, contributes
an excellent portrait of a Negro
man and Ida Leiboritz. of the Moore

From other students in the Moore
Institute, Philadelphia, come col

Peoples and Fruit" and we'll
studied seated figure of "A Girl in
Blue" both very reassuring. An
Oriental Girl" by a student of the
University of Washington, has much
to commend it despite poor place
ment on the canvas. From the
standpoint of sheer painting. chair
on which sticks of "Applewood"
have been placed is admirable. But
here, in a work ultra conservative,
there is the same lack of vision
which the majority of those in the
modern mode evidence. And why?
That is the question. Are nine
tenths of our American art students
blind to the beauty that is all
around them, and if so. what is
the matter with their teachers?
Beauty may be something which
we cannot define, but, as Stephen
Haggard has lately said, 'it is some
thing we can point out and so
bequeath to a friend; it is way
of thought; it is a way of life"
1t is beauty for which we are hungry
today-even starving-and here are
art students from all parts of the
country wallowing in ugliness and
setting it before us as art. but art
lessly. Obviously there is reason
for selective choice in subject, but
much more important is the way
it is presented-whether coarsely
and unpleasantly, as though find
ing delight in hideousness, or with
insight penetrating beyond the sur
face to that which is fine beneath.
| Robert Louis Stevenson once said
that art is not to be regarded as
a vocation, but a temptation" -and,
ne added, "the temptation is per-
haps nearly as common as the vo-
cation Is rare" What induces, one
wonders, the temptation" to paint
dreary landscapes, unsightly city
streets and slums, distorted human
beings and those most vulgar? This
has nothing to do with "isms" OF
new mode of art-it goes deeper and
is more serious. 1t would seem tc
be the disease of Main Street.
and the pity of it is that apparently
