New York. CUP)-The New York Opera Company closes it's most successful season at the City Center this weekend. A large share. of the credit for this venture in presenting good opera at popu- lar prices goes to Laszlo Halasz, the company's artistic and music di- rector.
 Halasz tried several experiments which turned out to be both good box office and artistically sound. He presented Todd Duncan, Negro baritone, in the roles of Tonic in "Pagliacci' and Escamillo in Car men," coaching Duncan to excel lence in both roles.
 He engaged Ian Cosman, un- known New York policeman, on the strength of a single addition, to sing Turridu in "Cavalleria Rus ticana." Halasz personally devoted more than 100 hours to preparing his protege for a debut, which was an unqualified success. It is only fair to Halacz to say that it was not done as a publicity stunt, but its publicity value turned out to be enormous.
 Halasz also brought Eugene S Bryden, a movie director, to City Center to take some of the moth balls out of the staging of old operas. Audiences were enthusiastic over Bryden's treatment of "Pag- liacci," "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "The Bartered Bride"
 It was all hard work, but it proved that a high standard of opera can be achieved even at a $40 top price. Halasz almost lived at City Center, his days starting at 9:30 a. m. and extending far into the night. When he wasn't con- ducting, he was directing rehearsals both for young singers on the up- grade and those who have "ar- rived"

Determined prosecution of the

makes agriculture's responsibility
as heavy as it has been any year
since Pearl Harbor, Director B. H.
Crocheron Of the Agriculture Exten-
sion Service, University of California
says larger concentration of fight
ing forces in the Pacific, addi-
tional relief feeding in Europe, and
greater problems of shipment mean
no letting up in food production.
Helping farmers with all-cut
food production and making Wig
orous effort in recruitment and
placement of labor will continue to
be extensions No. / responsibility
in 1885, Crocheron said.
When We Day was announced,
farmers became interested in the
question of whether German pris-
oners will be held for farm labor
in California. Crocheron immedi-
ately wired Col. w. r. Buie, chief
Of the office of labor, war food ad-
ministration, asking to have the
status of these war prisoners clari-
fled.
I'VE hope that German prisoners
will be held here and made to work, -
Crocheron said. Farming is a haz-
ardouS enterprise at best, and with
the United Nations Food supply at
stake, our farmers can eliminate
one of the variables of chance if
adequate labor is supplied"

but in some respects it differs

it is necessary that diagnostic tests

Horses are susceptible to vascular
stomatitis but they do not contract

FARM INITIATION
During the II months ending

to Arthur Shultis, specialist in farm
management, Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, University of Califor-
mia. This brings farm values in
California to point so per cent
above the average CT 1858.
Resales, after limited period
of ownership, continue to increase.
Despite the predominance of cash
sales, a significant number of farms
have heavy debts as the result of
sale. The supply of farms available
for sale are more restricted, be-
cause Of fewer offerings, reflecting
the desire CT owners to retain their
