By ALICE EVERSMAN.

With instrumentalists of all kinds
very much in the ascendency these
days, the recital by Ezio PIMA,
basso of the Metropolitan, at Con-
stitution Hall yesterday afternoon
was welcome interlude. This may
have contributed in very small
measure to the heartily expressed
enthusiasm of the audience al
though Mr.. Pima has every right
to consider he won it through real
merit. The Metropolitan star gave
a most artistic performance and
every number was interesting both
of itself and Mr.. Pinza's thought
full delivery.
The program set a measure for
the artists interpretive powers in
songs for heretofore he has con-
fined his selections to those of
sure appeal and with which he
was thoroughly familiar. That he
has ambitions as a recital giver
was evidenced by the fact that his
numbers yesterday were we'll chosen
with view to their musical value
and were sufficiently varied in
character to put his ability as an
interpreter to test. He so COM
pletely delighted his audience that
the applause kept breaking out
again and again at the conclusion
of each group and in spite of the
encores already given.
Mr.. Pinza's voice is a glorious
one, full throated and free and
f1exibly responsive to emotion.
While his natural field is the
broader operatic expression, his
temperament sought out the drama
in the simplest song and gave it
additional significance. This was
particularly true in the English

He finds 1t, he confesses, in his own
home, provided primarily by his two
daughters, Pamela and Diana. The
Herbert children, at the ages Of 10
and Is years. respectively, are won-
derfully standard youngsters whose
moods, attitudes, and manners are
precisely like those Of any other
children their ages. Mr.. Herbert just
writes about them.
He thinks perhaps the royalties
of kiss and Tell' should go to
Pamela and Diana, which would
make them a pair Of very wealthy
little girls.
More companies have played "Kiss
and Tell" in more places than even
George Abbott thought possible
when he produced 1t on Broadway
more than year ago.
Why the movies are interested in
television has rarely been better
intimated in the following statement
by John Baird, its inventor:
SOON aICer Cne war every cinema
will have its television receiving set.
But the really big influence of tele-
vision on the cinema will be in
the actual television of all the big
films to hundreds of cinemas from
central transmitting studios. This
will substitute eventually the present
costly method of running off scores
of copies of a film and rushing them
all around the country in tin boxes.
Films will be thrown on the screen
by television then, not by direct
projection. Let me make clear that
this is long range phophecy."
No matter how long the range, Mr..
Baird, the movies are thinking
about it.

actual combat. To list them in the
order of their popularity, they were
"Guadalcanal Diary" Crash Dive

Sahara" Arabian Nights" "Des-
peradoes, Happy Go Lucky" "This
Is the Army and Hello, Frisco,

OF the second 10 pictures which
your serviceman supported most
enthusiastically with his patronage,
eight were either war pictures or had

Commands Strike at Dawn"
Aerial Gunner" "Coney Island" 4"
Salute to the Marines" Girl Crazy"
and "Casablanca."
Then, to make it total of 10 out
of the first 30, the third 10 of
soldier, sailor and marine favorites
included five pictures related in one
way or another to the war. They
were: $50 Proudly We Hail"
"Bataan," "Star Spangled Rhythm" !"
Riding High" "In Old Oklahoma" !"

show their lives are not quite the

The trouble with starting a
column in a statiscal mood is that
a man is likely to have hard time
getting out of it. There is some
thing wonderfully fascinating at
the moment in the figure in front
of us which says that Gone With

Suggestions To
Farmers Made
By County Agent
Available PickerS Are Asked
To Register At County
Courthouse

Bean growers are urged to
patronize the local market in
West Jefferson and not haul to
distant markets." Roy H. Grouse,
county agent, said this week. The
gasoline and tire situation is still
very critical and the local trans
portation committee and the OPA
urges farmers to pool their loads
whenever possible in marketing
beans and other produce to con-
serve the much needed gasoline
and tires" he added.
This market has already receiv-
ed inquiries from distant Gamer
les for several cars of beans daily
to be moved by rail or truck. This
is good indication that the West
Jefferson Bean and Vegetable
Market has an advantage by be-
ing located on a railroad to ship
by rail when necessary to save
truck transportation" Mr.. Grouse
explained
The following suggestions for
bean production and marketing
are made by Agent Grouse:
LabOr-All indications lead to-
ward a larger acreage of beans
being planted this season with
even less labor than was available
last year. Reports from vari-
GUS communities indicate that this
increase can be taken care of by
families, including women, chill
dren and men, exchanging labor
or by others who are available at
bean picking time helping neigh
bors pick.
Available bean pickers should
register at the County Agents
office in Jefferson or get in touch

study reveals.
This figure is based on the diff
ference between the estimated
price of a postwar Jeep and the
total cost of the four farm units
which, according to extensive re-
search and experimentation, it
can replace.
Recent tests by accredited farm
experts, including officials of the
Department of Agriculture, re-
veal that the Jeep has "a great
deal of farm blood in it's mechan-
ical VEINS" according to Ward M.
Canaday, president of WHY'S

company's engineers have proven
ION the soil' that the scout car
can be used as an effective four
purpose substitute for the horse,
the tractor, the independent pow
er unit and the light truck.

lures report on it's recent exper-
iments with the vehicle, issued by
R. B. Gray, head of the Farm

sion, the Jeep was described as
highly useful in blowing, har-
rowing and other field work"

ing Jeep studies being made by

partments of Washington State
College and Ohio State University
demonstrate that the vehicle, in
its present military form, serves
many all-round purposes effec-
lively, especially for the small

Bean Farmers Urged To Patronize Local Market
Conservation
Farming News
Weekly Items OF Interest To
AShe Farmers
By ]. r. McLAURIN
By ]. T. McLAURN

Beans are playing an essential
roll in the feeding of American
civilians and soldiers during the
war. Ashe county farmers are do
ing their part to produce this
source of human food. In 1912,
there was an estimated 4 to 500
acres planted; in 1913, Is to 1000
acres an dthis year around $500
to 5000 acres. To reach this acre
age, much sloping has been plant
ed and serious erosion is and will
occur and if planted back to
beans next year, disappointing
results will be obtained.
If left unprotected after harvest,
great losses of soil may be ex-
pected. Many farmers are plan
ming to use a winter cover crop of
rye or crimson clover following
their bean crop, while others are
planning to seed a red clover
grass mixture in their bean patch.
This will give them adequate pro-
lection during the winter and will
be ready for a crop of hay next
summer.
E. J. Brown, of Round About,
said he could get a better stand
of grass following his beans than
any other way he has ever tried.
Mr.. Brown contributes this to a
carry over in the soil of some of
his bean fertilizer.
Carl Blevins, of Chestnut Hill,
picked a portion of his bean patch
last year Is times by the use of
of soda as a top dressing;
and by care in picking. Part of
the patch which soda was not US
ed on could only be picked 2 or
3 times.
