The small farmers of Denmark

diversified methods - are fast
awakening to the problem of stay
ing in business. Things went we'll
as long as there was enough low
priced labor in the field-eVen if
a few shiploads of Polish workers
had to be imported for a few
rlOnths every summer to help in
the sugar beet fields.
But today the story is somewhat
different. Labor has drifted to
the cities and factory towns -in
some cases workers have found a
good living in nearby and highly
industrialized Sweden. AS a con-
sequence, man and wife, perhaps
with the aid of a few teen-ag e
children. are left alone with the
consummate task of milking many
cows and till the land industri-
ously. 1t must be remembered

Strict Rotionins Of Pepper
.FoseSeen in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, February 90
(By wireless) On the Gov
ernment's initiative, the question
of a further restriction in the con-
sumption of paper in Sweden has
been taken up for debate. A cut
of Is per cent is said to be con-
sidered.
The new regulation would be
very extensive and includes not
only books and magazines but also
wall paper, packaging, bags. en-
velopes, stationery, etc. A deci-
sion is expected to be announced
shortly. Special negotiations will
be held regarding the newspapers.

The thing to do now-as the
small farmer realizes the situation
is to merchanize, just as the
larger holdings have done long ago.
Here the rub has been that a 50
acre farmer, already carrying a
heavy investment in high priced
animals and substantial bulldir gs
can i'll afford to purchase the ex-
pensive American farm machinery,
such as tractors, reapers, spread
ers, etc.
This is where a certain Danish
American. Mr.. Svend Hammerum,
comes into the picture. He. has
been at home for a spell and look
ed over the situation and now he
is back in the U. S. A. He claims
that an American tractor named
the Panther" is small enough and
cheap enough to fit exactly into
the Danish farm machinery. The
machine he has in mind costs no
more than a good motor cycle, he
claims, and it is said that the
negotiations are so far advanced
that about 500 of the small trac-
tors can be shipped monthly com
mencing in February.

Swedish
Peasant
Painting
BY ZONNE WADSWORTH

What is this Swedish peasant
painting, this painting with which
women are lifting the faces of
their furniture until it is no longer
old and drab, but brave and new
as a Swedish peasant tulip on its
graceful, waving scroll? I first
became aware of peasant art
through a remark made by one
of my art instructors who said,
Every artist should study his
heritage the heritage of his
people" That remark impressed
me, for it was an entirely new
idea to me. Somehow, l had never
thought of that approach to art.
Hitherto, 1 had been immersed
in the study of the French artists,
the modern painters, Negro sculp-
ture, cave paintings, Egyptian
frescoes, and all the other var
ious backgrounds of painting
with which the art student be-
comes acquainted. Then, after
such schooling was over, 1 was
told to study my heritage.
The idea intrigu d me for i
was beginning to hear nice things
about Swedish glass, Swedish tex
tiles, Swedish modern architecture
and furniture. My ears opened
wider, for my parents were born
in Sweden. I set about to see
for myself what these Swedish an
cestors of mine had been up to
in all the years that 1 had been
ignorant of their doings. A new
world of beauty was opened to
me as turned the pages of book
after book of old Swedish textiles,
religious paintings, wall hang
ings, old painted chests, huge cup
boards, immense wall beds and
queer old clocks, Every piece was
an exciting thing of beauty.

was quaint unstudied flourish
or abandonment in it that tickled
my fancy. fell in love with the
serious little men riding their
plump, gay-colored horses, the
naive, sturdy little women with
their tiny. fantastic feet, the fer
tile. never-ending flowers, some
of which never grew this side of
heaven, and the strange, perky,
whimsical birds of unknown vim
tage, with their unexpected col
ors and angular profiles. Again
and again, like a melody appear
ing again and again through a
symphony, I would come across
the same little motifs until they
became to me a part of this par

To know that these things were

feel very glad, for I had gained
the false idea that the Swedish
people We're stolid, quiet, I'M
colorful and unimaginative peo-
pie. l never knew they had such
wonderful, unspoiled and happy
imaginations. Apparently they
Were capable of the most beauti-
ful imagery, and all this beauty
grew within them.
Outside, to those who did not
understand, they appeared COOL
restrained, brooding. but inside
grew a great beauty. They were
like the country where they lived
their country, strong, natural,
with cold, roaring winters and
snow. On this land, within their
houses, warmth, color and fantasy
flourished. They were good
people, wholesome people, giving
the world through their art the
beauty that lies within, not the
GOODNESS that whips the earth
without And 50 we who have
searched have found a precious
gift, given us by our forefathers,
a gift which we can enjoy and
use, and give to others, and there
by make it grow.
1t certainly is growlng-an ap-
probation as well as an applica-
ton of this Swedish peasant art.
Minnesota is a fertile ground for
it to grow in, for so many of us
are direct descendants of these
peasant people who sat IN their
homes in their great, beautiful,
cold land, and painted through
the chill winter days the things
that surrounded them, their fur
niture. chests, tables, clocks, etc.
They had no art training, these
peasant men and women they
had only an inner love of beauty,
warmth and color, and a strong,
unafraid and uninhabited spirit.
They had no one to instruct them
in design or color. They boldly
took the thing in hand and
painted without fear of what was
right or wrong; they painted what
they loved with a loving touch
and that was enough.
That is one of the wonderful
things about peasant art to me,
that it was done by these people
who had no training at all, merely
their ability to go ahead alone
and do what they felt was right.
The miracle of it is that it was
usually very right when they
worked that way.
These are the things 1 try to
tell the women who come to learn
to do peasant painting. I'm afraid
however, that we of this genera
ton are not as sure, as unafraid
and brave as our forefathers
were. We are hemmed in by rules
and regulations until finally we
grow insure of expressing our
selves. That is one of the bene-
fits of painting. as we'll as music,
literature and all of the arts
they help us to express ourselves
and our desires. If our motives
and our desires are not good the
result will not be good. either,
but on the other hand, if we try
to express a good idea, in our
own way, feeling that we can do

it, and enjoy the doing of it, it
will be a thing of beauty.
So women are learning to paint.
Most of them have never had time
to hold a brush in their hand.
They are finding an outlet for
the desire of beauty that is with
in them. They are painting flow
ers and birds, little peasant men
and ladies, and wild, galloping
horses. They paint them mostly
on old things, pieces of furniture
that are pretty much the worse
for wear and fairly begging for
a coat of paint, nyway-boxes,
plates, pans, chests, chairs, etc
Some of the things are not well
done. some are good, some are
very good and few are breath
takingly beautiful. But whether
they are poorly done or beautiful.
the women are having a delight
full time, and that alone makes it
worth doing. Those who do not
do so well now are learning, and
so they will do better and better.
have in mind one lovely, shy
woman who came to one of my
classes. At first she did very
badly; she thought it was hope
less. I told the class how often
times it was the very shyest per-
sons who turned out to be the
best artists. When they forgot
what they could not do, they were
all surprised at what they could
do. This woman worked quietly
and very diligently, and when the
term was over she had finished
a chest that is one of the choicest
things / have seen. 1t is as lovely
as many an old museum piece.
When the class had all admired
and fallen completely in love with
the chest, this woman told me
she could hardly believe that we
thought it beautiful. She said she
felt that she had never been able
to do anything really good, and
the fact that we liked her work
lnStllled in her feeling of con-
fidence and accomplishment OF
which she had never known.
So the women in Minneapolis
are learning to paint. There are
many classes in peasant painting
here. and all over the country.
Peter Hunt seems to have started
the craze. His work, as you per-
haps know, is influenced mostly
by the Pennsylvania paint
ings. Every country in the world
has its own particular peasant
style of painting. I would like to
see other nationalities represented
in this country study their heri
tage, and bring other peasant arts
out from the musty leaves of
books and museums where all too
few people see and enjoy them
Each country has much to give
Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing
to have our homes in this country
filled with gay. colorful furniture
from all the countries of the old
world which make up America?
AS for me, l shall continue
Swedish peasant painting, and
hope many of you who have never
had your eyes opened to the eX-
quisite things our ancestors have
left us will dig out some old books
from the libraries and feast your
eyes on this little world of beauti-
full flowers. droll birds. men on
galloping horses, and sturdy little
women with remarkably tiny feet.
Who knows-perhaps you will be
as thrilled as some of the rest
of us and you. too, will get out
brushes and paints and start in
painting the furniture around
your home. If you do, you will
be following the trend of Ameri-
can women in developing a peas
ant art Of tbair ouyp

toward the Palace of Justice, where
the Assembly was celebrating the
bases agreement, signed Monday.
Some students broke through the

Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee said
today he will introduce on the last
day of the special session bill to
cut income taxes by perhaps $5,0O0,-
100000 year.
This will place the measure In
position for early action when Con-
gress meets again in January.
For the first time since the tug
of war with the Democrats over
tax reduction began early this year,
Republicans may call for increased
personal exemptions as well as per-
centage slashes in various brackets.
This tentative agreement was
reached during a closed door meet
ing of Republican members of the
committee late yesterday. Mr.. Knut-
son said they have yet to put final
draft on paper.
The proposed cuts were reported to
be as follows:
l. Increase personal exemptions
from the present $500 to $500. thus
cutting 100000 low income earners
of the tax rolls as well as giving the
other 42,500,000 taxpayers a reduc-
ton. Estimated cost to Treasury,
$1,000, 100000.
