BY DOROTHY RAYMER

Word has been received here
from st. Petersburg, Fla, where
the Florida Federation Of Art con-
vention and exhibition was held,
that Larry KarnS, member of the
Key West Artists group, Is one of
the painters whose work has been
chosen for the travel exhibit. Only
19 paintings out of 165 entries were
picked for the travel showing and
Karns' entry was the only one
selected from Key West entries.
His entry is a still life casein,
a composition with subtle and bold
color combinations of a pitcher of
wine, small sculptured torso
statuette, and picture frame on
a striped cloth covering little
table.
Writer, photographer and artist,
versatile Larry Karns has a cur
rent show now hung at this Duval
Street studio. 1t consists mostly of
nude studies with fantasy back
grounds full of his own individual
symbolism. His style ranges from
abstract through realism and even
calendar art and involves symbols
which are not too obscure for the
layman: twisted roots and tree
branches, Swirling drapes and
windblown scarves, rocks and pools
of rainWater.
He utilizes all media: oil, caSein,
watercolor, pastel, pen and ink,
tempera and these sometimes in
combination. A few of the draw
ings and one or two pastels look
like presentations in the French
publication "L'IlluStration. eS

ed "Vanity" which is Stylized and
shows long slender feminine hand
with tinted fingernails holding up
a water lily from which drip the
waterplant foliage. The pen and
inks have a French tone too, es-
pecially "The Black Wave" which
depicts a statuesque woman sur
rounded by swath of her own long
black treSSeS.
There is a dream-like quality to
most of the figures even though
they are done with realism. Rain
Pools" in tempera remind one OF
the old September Morn with
misted green's, COLDS and water
grays. 1t lacks the freedom and
Imagination of his other more Wis
ionary studies but catches the eye
with the odd pattern of rocks and
the treatment of light.
Reclining Nude" is also a Bit
too polished, in fact, the glistenlng
finish of the darkhued flesh with
bronze gold veneer seems, as one
viewer said, ito be simonized. "
In direct contrast is the rough
textured portrait with thick daubs
of pink and blue and broken-ridged
lines of green and white of a girl
with a rose in her hair. Not as
smooth, but it's better art.
That Gaelic humor of Karns'
keeps popping up in his subject

that time it was feared that it might
invade rangelands to the detriment
of other vegetation but to date this
apprehension has been unfounded.
Summercypress is a thrifty, ag-
gressive plant producing consider
able heritage even under relatively
unfavorable growing conditions. In
Utah tests it yielded from 1000
pounds to the acre, dry weight, on
a dry, rocky valley bench with IL
inches precipitation, to 5000 pounds
per acre under irrigation. Even more
significant, the latter production was
on soil too salty for other common
crops, suggesting high tolerance Of
summercypress to alkali conditions.
Hay yields of test paintings at
Highmore and Brookings, S. D., dur
ing 1941-1944, presumably under
dryland conditions, ranged from O.
140 to 7,94O pounds per acre dry
weight and averaged $500 pounds.
First and second cuttings of sum
mercypress were possible when first
cuttings were made so as to leave
live branches on the stubble. Herb
age was resistant to grasshopper at
tack and had a high leaf-to-stem
ratio. The leaves which grow di-
rectly from the branches without in
dividual stems shattered less during
baling operations than alfalfa and
the heritage made hay with salts

Evaluation of the forage value of
summercypress hay was given by
animal tests. In palatability trials,
wethers fed free choice preferred
summercypress over bromegrass and
bluestem wheatgrass hay and on the
average of two trials consumed 81
parts of summercypress hay to one
part alfalfa hay. Palatability rating
of second cutting summercypress

BELVEDERE summercypress may
come to be an important forage
crop in Montana
In the May /. 1851, issue of Mon
tana Farmer-Stockman information
from several sources was presented
suggesting that summercypress
might serve as a valuable forage
crop in Montana. Since that time
reports of more than six years ex-
perience with the crop in South Da-
kota give further evidence that the
plant merits attention by state live
stock men.
This experience is reported in
Bulletin 1874 of the South Dakota
Agricultural experiment station,
Bookings, S. D. It is entitled For
age From Kochia' and was written
by f. L. Erickson and A. L. Moxon.
The plant, scientifically named
Kochia scoparia, is a brushy growing
annual closely related to the west
ern saltbushes. It was introduced
into the United States from Europe
sometime previous to 1914, probably
as a garden ornamental, and since
spread throughout most Of the west.

German Rural
Youth Movement
Has Fast Growth

MUENSTER, Westphslia-(NC)-
A Catholic rural youth movement
Is spreading throughout western
Germany. 1t recently held a con-
gress here which was attended by
some 1000 young men and women.
Archbishop AIoisus ]. Muench,
Papal Nuncio 10 Germany, address
ed the meeting and suggested
"Plow and Cross" as motto for the
movement. Speaking about the ru-
raj situation in the United States,
the Archbishop said that factory
farming" has not been a success
there. American farmers, he added,
still prefer the family type farm
which is "the backbone of healthy
middle-class and at the same time a
safeguard for the well-being of
any nation"
Much more can be contributed
toward improving our present eco.
nomic system, the Archbishop said,
If family farming is coupled with
social justice and charity, than by
any legislative measures of govern
ments. The social encyclicals of the
Popes for this very reason have re-
, peatedly urged that everything be
done to encourage small and mid
dle-sized farms.
German dioceses of Muenster
Paderborn and Osnabrueck have es-
tablished local seminars of social
action directly responsible to their
Bishops, for the training of social
action workers, both men and
women. The faculties consist of ex-
perts in the fields of law, education
and social economics. A course con-
sists of six semesters. Classes are
held on evenings or Sundays. In
Muenster diocese 468 students, rep.
resenting all walks of life. artisans
teachers, businessmen and work
ers, attended the first semester.
