Writer Says
Stu|inism
On Way Out
Russia: What Next?

Reviewed by Belmont Fories
Do the present Russian
moves to ease world tension
represent a fundamental policy
change? Mr.. Deutscher is con-
WINGED that they do, and that
Stalinism is, a thing Of the
past.
Staliism, he says, had its
roots in the Asiatic backward
ness of Russia. At tremendous
human cost it took Russia
from the oxcart to the atomic
pile, but by its very success it
disestablished itself.
Even before Stains death
signs Of change were becoming
apparent. The one thing Rus
STA must have now, as Mr..
Deutscher sees it, is peace
peace which will give it time to
develop and integrate the third
of the world now in Commu-
mist hands.
Malenkov, Mr.. Deutscher be-
lieves, represents the peace
group" Even if his regime
fails, a prolonged relapse into
Stalinism is unlikely. More
probable courses are a military
dictatorship or a gradual evo-
luton Of the regime toward a
socialist democracy.
Will the Communist Party,
by freeing itself Of the Stain
type of leadership, return some
measure of freedom to Russia?
Mr.. Deutscher, despite his ex-
tensive knowledge of Soviet
politics, may be INDUCING in
wistful thinking when he sug-
gests the possibility. We can
only wait and hope. Mean
while, his book makes more
pleasant reading than most on
Russia.

PerImutter at Dupont

S'Ii'IOAASi VI w PVIII
Jack Perlmutter is a lay
mans modernist, in one sense.
His paintings and prints, IA
miliar to Washingtonians for
nearly a decade, are con-
temporary. At the same time,
they are completely ineligible
to the average person. This is
demonstrated anew in the ex-
hibition of Autographs recent
ly opened at the Dupont The
atre gallery, to remain through
mid-September.
Fifteen of the 20 prints on
view are in colors. A majority
of them were shown at the I.
F. A. Galleries last year, but
all are worth seeing again,
along with a number of new
prints.
Jack Perlmutter'S work,
both paintings and prints, is
Singularly dynamic, with his
flair for swooping curves,
slashing diagonals, sharp rec
tangles and ingratiating
glimpses of comparatively nat
uralistic details.
He has had many one-man
shows Of his work in both
media, and has also, exhibited
frequently in group exhibit
tionS, not only in Washington,
but throughout the United
States. and in some foreign
countries. He is represented in
8 permanent collections in
Washington, as we'll as in the
Carnegie Institute. Pittsburgh,
and the Philadelphia Art ALI
ance.
Every Autograph is printed
individually by Mr.. Perlmutter,
who is convinced that a print
is not completely an artists
work unless he can control the
whole process, including the
final printing.

circular area, connected the posts with
hog wire and lined the wire with sisal paper.
This last method makes a cheap silo but, of
course, blower or elevator is necessary to
fill it.
But UNDERSTANDABLE many operators hest
tated to add to the haying equipment they
already had stackers, balers, etc.-th the
extra expense of forage chopper. The nat
ural solution to that problem was long grass
silage Why not? It's been used for years
in European countries. Some even baled
their long grass silage. 1t worked, and the
bales were cinch to feed out in the winter
A variety of methods have been used to
take the silage out of the silo or pit A

course, but lately some operators have made

feeding silage even easier than that. They
simply build movable rack or stanchions
across one end of the silage and let the
stock run right to it. The rack is moved up
as the silage is eaten.
Here's a quick review of the advantages
and disadvantages of various types of silos
and methods of ensiling:
Upright Silo
The upright silo is still perhaps the most
effective type in point of preservation with
minimum waste and spoilage of silage. 1t
provides a minimum top surface area for
exposure to air and it assures tight packing
as the silage settles of its own weight
Chief disadvantages are the compare
lively high cost of construction and the need

It's Best Way to Preserve
Most Forage Nutrients
With Least waste

SILAGE, particularly grass silage, is be-
~ coming popular form of forage pres
ervation in Montana. The first reason for
this popularity is the fact that good silage
is more nutritious than the best hay. The
second reason is that good silage can be put
up in weather that would be impossible for
making good hay. But the chief reason is
the rapid development and simplification of
ensiling methods.
This development can be expressed like
this:
A silo is expensive. Don't build silo.
Chopping machinery is expensive. Don't
chop the silage.
Feeding out silage is difficult Don't feed
it out. Let stock eat it Out cafeteria style.
The principles of silage making have
boiled down to this: Make your silage of
any kind of forage-grass, corn, weeds, what
have you. Put it into any kind of silo you
wish-upright, pit trench or don't put it in
a silo at all. Just pile it on the ground.
Whatever you do with it, be sure the silage
is packed tight, particularly at the edges
and cover with straw, dirt, sawdust, paper,
anything cheap and handy, that will en-
close your silage as nearly alright as pos
Sible.
Actually the story of the progress of
silage in Montana goes way back to home
stead days Homesteaders needed some way
to preserve their chief crop, Russian thistles,
in the most succulent form. Ensiling was
the answer. But upright silos and ma
chinery to fill them were out of the ques-
ton. Anyone could dig hole, however.
So the pit silo was created. 1t was easy and
cheap to fill it preserved the silage per-
fectly but it was a backbreaking chore to
feed out.
Then came the trench silo. 1t was cheap
to build, easy to fill and not too difficult to
feed out.
But not every farm has site for trench
silo that will drain, so some operators be-
gan building their silos on top of the ground.
They scooped out an area not more than a
foot or two deep, pushed the dirt up to form
bikes at the sides Or they set posts around
