Sir Thomas Beechon1 Conducts
Symphony in Sensational Concert

was shown in the performance OF
the Brahms symphony. Unhurried
and exceptionally clear in outline,
it was a mastery exhibition of
orchestral balancing to the end of
revealing the, very heart of the
music. It glowed with a true
Brahmsian warmth, sometimes
tender and again passionate, and
never obscured in more sturdy
moments. This was Brahms as few
have seen him. a clair voyance
that bespoke the character OF Sir
Thomas artistry. 1t gave occasion
also for the conductor to utilize
his skill in creating a constant
ebb and flow of tonal color by his
handling of the different orches-
trail sections.
1t was first evidenced in the
varied moods of his charming
ballet suite arranged from Han
defs music which opened the
program. The responsiveness of
the orchestra to these minute and
changing demands was superb and
one OF the arresting elements of
the entire program. It closed with
the rather banal Berlioz march
which had all the stirring effects
to delight an audience. It culmi-
mated in a long and wildly en-
thusiastic ovation for the con-
ductor, who had been called back
repeatedly after every number on
the program.

Berlioz' "Marche Troyenne."
Sir Thomas has made a life
long study Of Handel's and Mo-
zart's music, editing their works
ard using his version preferably
when conducting. He was the
first to champion Delius and to
make his compositions known
From this it can be seen that the
interpretations he presented to
the vast audience in attendance
last night was the result of long
thought and personal conviction.
They were so far apart from the
accepted idea that the music may
have appeared hardly recognizable
to those familiar with a stand
arized reading. although the de-
tails were impressive. But the
sum total was a remarkable pene-
tration into the essence of the
works as also a structural con-
cept that appreciated the i'm

note.
The essential chamber music

Montana Seed Growers Adopt
Changes in Regulations
Soils and Crops
By RALPH MERCER

SPRING HAS BEEN just around
TIE corner for quite awhile, but no
enc has been able to tell in just what
block it was lowering. Anyway, this
year it would seem that there would
be ample moisture in the ground to
get grain off to a good start. The ter
rible spring floods, which seemed
certain, were avoided by ideal snow
melting weather. After the kind of
a winter we had, we were entitled
10 a few breaks.
S~eedgrowers Association
Last month the election of officers
for 1949 was announced. Several
changes were made in procedure as
far as rules and regulations are con-
cerned.
The increase in production fees on
legumes and grasses made in No
vember, 1913, were extended to the
1949 crop. The production fee at that
time was increased to l cent per
pound. The cost of tags and seals to
small grain producers was increased
DO 10 cents per tag.
The regulations governing the
sampling and tagging of small grains,
DIR and beans YER revised. Begin
ming with the 1949 crop it will be
necessary for the official sample
upon which the grade is established
20 be taken by a representative of
the association. When the grade has
been established on these commod-
tiles, they will be bagged and a rep
resentative of the MSGA will tag
and seal the bags. At the same time a
recheck sample will be taken and
sent in for comparison with the
grade sample.
All registered small grain, corn
and beans purchased for the purpose
of continuing the production of reg
istered commodities must be bagged,
tagged and sealed.
Any of these commodities eligible
for registration sold in bulk will not
be eligible for registration. They will
be material which can be used in
the county approved seed program.
1t was further recommended by
the directors that, where adequate
housing and machinery were not
available to do a clean job, produce
eligible for registration be cleaned
ut an authorized cleaning plant the
same as legume and grass seed are
processed at the present time.
The change in the method of COM
pIeting registration on small grain,
corn and beans was made necessary
by the violations that have occurred
IN the past few years.

the consuming area buk didn't gee
there early enough
In discussing the use of northern
grown seed with \ party who was
making a study Of seed consumption
for the department. he made it quite
plain that one of the places where
western growers were falling down
was in not getting their seed to the
plants early enough to get it proc
essed and into the rel where it will
be used by the middle of January.
I have run into this complaint
many times in the past, but appar-
emily the situation is more serious
than we had supposed. Canadian
and southern grown seed is going
into a number of areas where our
seed was formerly used. BY cutting
here and there it seems pos
sible that with the cooperation of
all concerned there could easily be
a month saved between harvest and
delivery in the consuming area.
In discussing registered seed this
gentleman said that, where alfalfa
and red clover were packaged in
firm branded or plain white bags in
80 to so pound sizes, the seed had
a good chance of reaching the con-
sumner with the tag and seal at
tached, but when packed in 100 or
$50 pound units this was not the
case. He also stated that individual
growers branded bags were not de-
sired.
Crested Wheatgrass
There's a lot of land in Montana
that missed being seeded last fall
and will miss again this spring just
because there weren't enough acres
harvested for seed last fall.
By the same token there were a
lot of animals that were fed this
winter that travelled a long way just
because the crested wheatgrass and
other feed was under a blanket of
snow instead of in a stack.
NdOHIdnd WnedI Onow
The first annual Montana wheat
show held in connection with the
Montana winter fair at Bozeman got
off to a good start. There were 70
exhibits from % counties in the
state shown. The winners in the

On Standard List

Certification of Ladino clover was
placed on the standard list. A supply
of breeders seed of a new selection
OF Ladino clover was introduced into
the state and will be increased under
the supervision of the Montana agri-
cultural experiment station. Produc-
ton should make sufficient seed
available in the next two or three
years to replace the stock which is
now being used for certification.
Titan barley was placed On the
standard list of recommended va
rieties and will be available in
ties in 1850. A small amount of foun-
dalton seed is being distributed this
year for increase. 1t is recommended
previously for irrigated land.
