Done On Farms
fContinued from page II

in joint indicating there will be plen-
ty of straw.
Wheat requires little labor. 1t is
seeded in the fall and no other work
is needed until the harvest, with COM
bines handling the bulk of cutting.
For that reason wheat will show the
largest proportion of increase of any
crop in the district.
Beans About Same
Soybeans, the wonder crop" that
almost overnight has become one of
the principal crops in this section,
probably will show slight decrease
in acreage here this summer.
Last years crop was of inferior
quality and farmers did not keep
stocks for seed, a development that
has resulted in seed being scarce this
spring. One factor in favor of the
crop is that it requires little labor for
raising, much like wheat, and what
ever reduction there is in acreage lik-
ely will be slight.
Grass acreage will show big in
crease, and many of last years wheat
fields are devoted to the crop. A
good hay harvest is expected, and
prospects are good for timothy seed
which has a good price, and which also
can be harvested by combine.
Sugar beets too are showing an in
creased acreage locally. Three factors
resulting in the trend toward more
sugar beets is the fact that the price
is satisfactory, the bulk of the labor
is supplied by the refinery, and that
growers receive extra sugar rations
for their families.
Draft Changes
That authorities have forseen the
present situation is believed to be in
dicated in changes in administration
of the Selective Service act, by which
draft appeals boards this spring are
granting more deferments to farm
labor.
Official indication of an easing in
drafting of farmers was seen last
week in announcement by State Sc
lective Service headquarters that no
more Ohio farmers would be drafted
if the registrant's local board and his
county farm war board agree on his
deferment for agricultural purposes.
1t is believed in some quarters that
this move may have a tendency to
offset the growing apathy in farm dis
tricts where the tendency now is to
farm fewer acres and raise less live
stock.
Decreased farm production already
is making itself felt in growing short
ages of meat and other foodstuffs. A
particular result now in evidence is
the current poultry shortage which re-
fleets the low prices of last summer
when farmers marketed their flocks
and eggs flooded the markets.
Pointing to the drop in hog market
ing was the announcement Monday
that half the hog lots of the Chicago
Stock Yards were closing for an in
definite period since the current sup
ply of hogs was equal to only about
Is per cent of the yard capacity the
lowest on record for spring season.

Fourteen Washington artists have
united in a new group which they
call "In Transit" and have opened
a gallery at 2004 M street NV. The
inaugural exhibition, presented last
Sunday, will remain throughout
May.
Most of these artists are already
known here from work they have
shown in solo and other group ex-
hibitions. They include Stephan
Alexander, Kitti Baart, Douglas
Brown, Alexander Clayton. Laura
Douglas, Julia Eckel, Frances Ferry,
Elizabeth Heintzen, Doris Hilton,
Jacob Kainen, Clarence Laughlin,
Jane Love, Virginia Parker and
Dante Radice.
The stated objectives of the group
are as follows: ITO keep alive our
faith in the validity and perma-
nence of the imagination, from mu-
tual interest in expressing contem-
porary esthetic values through un-
trammeled use of forms not yet
worn by overuse" In view of these
aims, one is not surprised to find
that the exhibition as a whole is
considerably cleft Of center" in char
acter. It ranges from the simpli-
fed but moderately conservative
paintings by Frances Ferry and Vir-
ginia Parker to distractions by Jane
Love, Dante Radice, Laura Doug
las and several others. Approx
mately so works are on view, most of
them paintings ip oil. tempera and
water color.
Clarence Laughlin, now in the
Army, shows 10 photographs and
color prints from the same series as
the large exhibition he had at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery two years
ago. These are exceptionally inter-
esting works, dealing with symbols
He has endeavored to externalize,
as he says, the fears and desires Of
contemporary men and to express
the spirit of our age Certainly q
destructive and unhappy one) by
means Of objects, architecture,
street scenes, posed figures and dou-
BILE or triple exposures. He has also
evolved his own techniques in max
ing abstract 'dye color paintings"
with the Use Of special dyes ordi-
narily employed in the wash of re-
lief method Of making color photo
graphic prints.
Kitu Baart's greatly enlarged and
simplided flower forms are among
