Sheep And Lamb
Population Less

& The number of sheep and
lamb in Montana this winter Is
about one-third smaller, than
once a year ago, Preston J. Greer
of the federal bureau of agri-
cultural economics has reported.
Great reductions have been no
ted in Billings, Hardin and Sid
ney. areas, Greer said. Ranching
operations along the Milk river
in northern Montana and else
where were hampered by
drought and feed shortages.
Because of higher prices for
hay and feeder lambs, the
feeders are not willing to risk
high. priced feed without an. as
surance of profit, Statistician
Greer explained. The few far
mers planning to feed stock
will do so on a reduced scale,
he said.

To Be Here Sunday
Noted College Choir To Give
Concert At 7:45 p. m. At St.
Johns Lutheran Church.

Featuring a program of thirteen
selections from the pens of the mas
tiers, THE Gettysburg College Choir,
under the direction of Prof. Parker
B. Wagnild, will present a concert
of sacred music at st. Johns Luth-
eran Church auditorium, South Po-
tomac Street, Hagerstown, on Sun
day, March 20, at 7:45 P. M,
The concert is sponsored by the
Lutheran Ministers Association of
Washington County, and Lutheran
Churches in the county will close
their evening services to provide
an opportunity for their members
to attend.
Now in its fourteenth year, the
choir has progressed from its in
ception in 1885 to become one of the
outstanding choral groups in the
eastern United States. Critics have
acclaimed the fifty-voice outfit for
its "lucidity of tone and diction
even in fast passages, for the blend
ing of voices in both full-choir and
small-choir strains, for flexibility on
tone-color and tempo and dynamics,
and for remarkable precision in
pitch throughout" In addition to
these artistic tendencies, the choir
has become famed for its renditions
which come from the heart"
Credit for the continued success
of the organization may well be Civ
en- to Professor Wagnild for his I'M
firing efforts on behalf of the group.
Having studied under many of the
leading choral conductors of the
United States, Wagnild has been
hailed as one of the most outstand-
