|Rainmaking Pilot Sells
Assorted Showers
As Service 10 Farms
By the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 18.-Rain-
making is a subject dear to the
heart of H. A. Hershfield, jr., whose
nickname is Buzz" but answers
equally readily to "Rain-i in the
Face.
The flyer describes himself and
his associates as probably the
country's leading screwballs" in the
business of making the clouds give
up their moisture. His records show
that he has produced rain in seven
out OF nine trips aloft to drop COM
pressed carbon dioxide or dry ice
on likely looking clouds. His Sue
cesses ranged from sprinkles to-
soakers of about an inch.
He is now working on gadgets to-
facilitate his experiments, includ-
ing an improved dry ice grinder and
distributor and is looking forward
to the day when he can advertise:
Leave your cornleld to Hersh-
field"
Heads Air Crop Service.
His rainmaking experienments
are tied in with the aerial crop serv-
ice of which he is vice president,
secretary and chief rainmaker. His
service dusts crops for bugs; sprays
weed killer; spreads fertilizer and
sows light grains from the air. He
hopes someday to do almost every
thing in the way of producing a.
crop except harvesting.
Mr. Hershfleld's venture in fore
ing clouds to give up their moisture
on parched lands below was a spur
OF the moment affair one hot day
last August.
Until then his crop service had
confined its activities to sprayingI
and busting crops along the fertile
Missouri River Valley. One of his
customers was the Peppard Seed
Co., with extensive cornfields.
One day he called John Smith Of
the Peppard company and inquired
If he needed any dust that day.

To which Buzz replied:

can cook up something"

BY Alice Eyersmon

The success Of Fague Springnaan's
debut song recital in Constitution
Hall last night must have pleased
and encouraged the young baritone,
Already popular from his frequent
participation in various events here,
he found a good-sized audience
eager to welcome him. This In itself
should have been gratifying, for
many artists more universally
known have not done so well, and
the genuineness of the applause
proved that he had qualities that
appealed and gave pleasure As ac-
companist he had Elena Criye1la,
who was heard also in three piano
solos.
MIR. Sprfngman is brimful of talent
and has the voice, the stage presence
and the temperament to carry him
far. There is hardly a voice of his
type before the public with the same
power and the richness. He is music
ally sensitive and has an interpreta-
tive gift of a high order. Ali this is
not yet fully smoothed out or ready
for comparison with the greatest but
his debut was designed as a test of
his ability and its possibilities for
further development. His road is
certainly clear and should be easy
when some deficiencies are elimi-
mated.
There is first of all the gaining
of more repose with its subsequent
benefit all around. Vocally he has
freedom and assurance but pro-
pensity to attack his tones from un-
derneath, especially in the higher
register. With firmer focus, they
would lend themselves more effec-
lively to the emotional coloring he
feels strongly. He gave a moving de-
livery of Beethoven's TN Questa
Tomba oscura' and Schubert's Der
Tod und das Maedchen," the rich
sombreness of his tones truly ex-
pressive of the texts. Yet they were
weighted with their own volume and
prevented from floating freely. In
the remaining German songs, Schu-
bert's "An die Leier," VOLTS Bite
rolf" and "Gesang Weyla's," there
was both style and eloquence and
clear diction.
The aria, "Nemieo della Patria"
from Giordano's Andrea Chenier"
and the group of spirituals indi-
Gated that where drama is present,
Mr.. Springman is in his element.
He not only understands 1t but
projects 1t with remarkable power.
He found it in the spirituals, Some
times I Feel Like a Motherless
Child" and "Everytime I Feel the
Spirit" and very beautifully in Mac
Gimsey's Sweet Little Jesus Boy"
The storm of applause that resulted
brought "Short'nin' Bread and
Nah Lindy Lou" as encores. The
aria also had to be repeated. This
type of singing is of the Lawrence
Tibbett domain, where Mr.. Spring
man might well establish himself.
Miss Crivella was of the utmost
assistance with the fine accompani-
ments she provided throughout the
program. Her solo capabilities were
demonstrated in Bach's Organ
Prelude in G Minor" in Siloti's
arrangement, Liszt's etude, ''Un
Sospiro," and DeFalla's 'Danse
Rituelle du Feu" The poetic quality
Of her touch was admirably suited
to the Liszt work although not
quite sonorous enough for the Bach.
Her effective playing of DeFalla's
stirring dance brought a round of
applause to which she responded
