At the other extreme Is a re-

publication for this generaltion)
of q long If little read,

"A History Of American Litera-

orthodox Victorian but he covered
a neglected field: Writings in the
days before this frontier country
became independent from Eng

How far we came in literary
suavity in the next 100 years is
shown in two critical studies Of
Henry James: "The Crooked Cor
ridor," by Elizabeth Stevenson
CMacmillan). and Henry James
and the Expanding Horizon" by
Osborn Andreas (University of
Washington Press. Miss Steven
sons main thesis-the conflict
of James the introvert with the
James who felt a fatal fascination
for the world Of the extrovert in
society-is an original and pro-
vocative one and she develops
1t adroitly. Mr.. Andreas' book is
a search for James basic intel

r N POETRY. where innova-

ton is commonly regarded
as virtue in itself, the out
standing event of 1949 was
the publication of book stepped
in tradition and 40 years in the
making. 1t was THE Complete
Poems of Robert Frost" (HolD.
Mr.. Frost's stature as a poet
has been growing steadily and the
appearance of his earlier books
in permanent form is a monument
of impressive proportions. Re-
reading them, one is struck by the
quiet, sturdy unity of their philos-
ophy. They explore mans deepest
emotions and they relate init
mately the details of his day-to-
day life with the pattern of his
civilization. They are, according
to their length and design, pic
lures or critiques of what we have
been living and thinking for al
most half century. Everything
in them has been said before and
often, but not with such economy
of word and such feeling. They
seem destined to live.
Old Friends and New
In Newer Moods
This book stands alone among
the volumes Of verse published
during the year. books wherein
we met old friends in new moods

OF poetic voices new to Amer

were brilliantly done. Sir Osbert

style and a nice humor. He is,

This is an example of Sir Osbert
in Debussy mood. 9 Mainly he
is more like Hogarth. In all, he
has done something clever and
vastly entertaining.
New Dimensions
OF Unintelligibility
Empson is more difficult. His
Collected Poems (Harcourt,
Brace) are often unintelligible but
undeniably original. Obscure allu-
Sions confuse rather than illumi-
nate. Games Joyce started that
senseless practice. At his best.
he has flashes of irony and satire
but he couches them in a style
usually reserved for more Olym-
plan themes.
In the realm of sheer unintel-
ligibility-strange virtue-honors

Volume Two" (New Directions).
This is a book of the famous
comma poems" wherein the
writer gives what he calls a new
dimension" to his verse by in
serting a comma between each
and every word. The commas are
better than the words.
, There was, with the exception
of Mr.. Frost's book. no poetry
published during the year which
was as good as several volumes Of
criticism of poetry.
1.-The Golden Nightingale" by
Donald A. Stauffer Macmillan)

Soils and Crops
Montana Always
Comes Through
By RALPH MERCER

WE NE OONllING 10 the emo OIL
1949 and haven't found anyone yet
who is sorry to see it go. 1t seems
like a lot of things have been packed
into a short space of IL months. 1t
all started with the Blizzard of
1919" which lasted with varying de-
grees of fury for nearly two months.
We had hardly come out of that
experience until somebody shut the
water off and we were in the midst
of a dry spell, the like of which we
hadn't seen since the late 30s. Just
to add to the complications, the
grasshoppers did a neat piece of
work in keeping the forage and feed
crops whitfield down to the ground.
Production Still Good
With all of these things hitting in
one year, you'd think the old state
had gone to the dogs. However, on
the production blotter, things could
have been much worse.
A large amount of livestock went
out of the state, but at a good price.
Yields of crops were from poor to
excellent depending on the location.
The hoppers disappeared in some
sections, permitting the growth and
harvest of a good alfalfa seed crop,
and a good cover of wet snow over
most of Montana in mid-O October put
some desperately needed moisture
into the soil.
1t just shows that that's the kind
of state we live in. She'll always
come through better than conditions
warrant.
Anyway we're glad 1949 is going
and hope 1850 will be less drastic
in her treatment.
Seed Corn
A hard freeze the second week
in September did things to the 1850
seed corn supply. In the extreme
eastern part of the state the tenn
perature went SO low that every ear
of corn was ruined for seed. Sew
eral seed corn producers who have
supplied a good share of the seed
in the past will not have a bushel to
sell in the spring of 1850.
While the cold was not quite so
severe in sections farther west, still
there is evidence that the germina-
ton was damaged.
This early freeze coupled with a
poor dryland corn crop because of
drouth makes it urgent that every
lot of seed of high termination be
saved. Producers having a crib of
corn of a recommended open-pol-
linated variety that was mature at
the time of the freeze should saw it.
The varieties which will be in
most demand are F~alconer, Mime
sofa Is, Silver King, Brown County
Pioneer and the flints.
The first step should be to de-
termine whether a lot has high ger
mination. A representative lot of 100
ears should be selected from the
crib From each ear take 2 kernels
each from the butt, center and tip.
Send these 600 kernels to the state
testing laboratory, Montana State
college, Bozeman, Mont, for a ger
mination test.
