Chorus Will Sing
Priests New Mass

The first performance Of the
third Of the flve masses written
by the young Washington
priest, Russell Woollen, will
take place this afternoon at
the Washington Cathedral
when the Washington Cham
ber Chorus sings it under the
direction of Paul Galloway.
Father Woollen, who is now a
pupil of Walter Piston at Har-
ward, has come to Washington
for final rehearsals and the
performance.
Father Woollen, now 81, has
for many years been one of the
most prolific and talented
composers of this city. He has
studied organ with Ernest
White, composition with Nadia
Boulanger in Paris, and plain
chant with the monks of So
lesmes. Besides liturgical music
he has written numerous
secular works, Including a
piano quartet and many songs.
Although he is now on the
music faculty of Catholic Uni
versity, Father Woollen origi-
nally was a language scholar,
taking his degree in medieval
French. He has recently been
awarded the Percy Lee Ather-
ton fellowship by Harvard
University, and is thus assured
of another years study in
Cambridge.

the scene for the picture.
Sennett remains active,
playing golf almost every day.

of notions around nowadays
about TSchaikowSky:; one to
the effect that only his last
three symphonies are much
worth worrying about. and the
other that even those three
have become, well, sort Of "old

nothing less old-hattish than
this Little Russian" SYM
phony under the effervescent
Beecham treatment. The SYM
phony is a light hearted affair,
for TSchaikowsky, and Sir
ThoWas gives it the light
touch, instead of the usual
hyper emotionalization. 1t

tunes in this piece are peculi-

A Challenge to Farm Leadership

Producers of wheat and other basic non
perishable products are justified in seeking
governmental help in maintaining price
levels on parity basis. The reasons why
this is SO have been enumerated on this
page many times in the past.
But although such price support is fully
warranted under the American protective
system and, in fact, is essential to bal
anced general economy, Individual growers
and organization leaders have definite
responsibility in the effort to develop a
realistic program. Without positive produc-
ton control, plus forceful export marketing
programs, price supports will be in real
danger.
Demands for continued high supports
must sooner or later be tied to practical
procedures which will prevent the accumu-
lation of unmanageable SURPRISES. Herein
lies the great challenge to today's farm
leadership.

Insects outweigh us: The insect world,
by three to one ratio, outweighs the COM

stroyed one billion dollars worth of us.

s'They are hardy: Despite all of mans eff
forts he has not eradicated one single insect
species from the earth.
eff the situation is to be bettered for the
farmer, it is only because mans technical
skills have brought notable advances to his
defense. Where once he stood helpless in
the face of plaques, today he has vast ar
senal at his disposal. A variety of insecti-
cides for a variety of pests helps him keep
his crop losses to the figure it now is. With
out them, he could hardly survive. Although
the farmer hasn't won the battle by any
means, he is keeping these hungry and
marauding insects at arms length And this
is the first step toward eventual victory"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-02-01

GROWERS of wheat and some of the
~ other basic products have particularly
difficult surplus problem with which to deal.
In the case of perishables, temporary
surplus conditions develop from time to
time. In some instances, the overproduction
can be moved by advertising and promo
ton programs. Even when such measures
are impractical the surplus usually corrects
itself in comparatively short time. Perish
ables cannot be stored indefinitely. They
must be marketed or disposed of in some
other way. While the adjustment period is
often a difficult one, it is usually of COM
paratively short duration.
But in the case of grain, the surplus
supplies can be stored for years. They con-
tinue to accumulate. Merchandising pro-
grams are much less effective with staple
commodity like wheat, than with many of
the speciality crops because there is a rather
definite limit to the amount domestic con-
sumers will buy for food purposes.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-02-01

A EVERY farmer and rancher knows,
"A the continuing struggle to control pred
atory insects is one of the most important
phases of every agricultural enterprise.
Throughout history there have been count
less instances where famine and great hui
man suffering have resulted from the de-
struction of crops and livestock by insects.
Even today great insect infestations periodi-
cally cause tremendous losses somewhere in
the world almost every year.
Ia quite recent years there have been
costly outbreaks of grasshoppers and Nor
mon crickets in some parts of Montana and
Wyoming as well as in many other states.
And on every farm and ranch the persistent,
though less spectacular, depredations of in
sects cause losses which in the aggregate far
outweigh the more devastating, but also
more localized, outbreaks that capture the
headlines.
SIN the endless battle of man against in
sect, the advantage lies all with the pests"
says 'HThe Story of Farm Chemicals" a bull
letin recently issued by one of the large

Which Plan for Wool?

ing more nor less than the Brannan plan ap-
piled to wool
One of the reasons why this proposal is
receiving serious consideration is because
it would serve as a sort of guinea pig in
testing the direct payment plan. If success
full with wool, it might possibly be extended
to other commodities that are in compar-
able situation.
Wool is up against serious competition
with synthetic fibers. Under the present
price-support program about 100 million
pounds of wool has been accumulated by
the Commodity Credit Corporation. And
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-02-01

WHILE most woelgrower organization
w leaders are opposed to the direct pay
ment plan advocated by the administration
in dealing with the wool price problem,
there is considerable interest in the plan
in congress-
Under this proposal domestic wool prices
would be permitted to find their own level
on the market Growers would then receive
direct payments amounting to the differ
ence between the market price and 900 of
parity Funds to cover these payments
would come from revenues resulting from
the tariff on foreign wool. This plan is moth
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-02-01

because of the wide differential between
wool prices and prices for synthetic fibers,
consumers have been turning more and
more to the synthetics.
An important reason why it is desirable
to maintain the domestic wool production
industry in healthy condition is that wool
is an essential commodity in time of war.
1t would be dangerous from the defense
standpoint to rely too strongly on foreign
wool supplies and permit the domestic wool
industry to languish.
Another plan previously reported in
Montana Farmer-Stockman, which has been
receiving some consideration, would pro-
vide that professors of wool in the United
States should pay 1000 of parity prices for
domestic wool in return for the privilege of
importing foreign woods duty free.
Wool producers have always been advo-
Gates of high tariff This tariff protection
served to stabilize wool prices on gener-
ally satisfactory basis until the synthetic
fiberS came so strongly into the picture.
Most of the wool men still believe that tariff
protection, coupled with support prices, is
the best answer to their problem.
But there appears to be strong support
in Congress for trial of the direct payment
program, and this time the high tariff folks
seem to be in the minority. Whichever
course is pursued there appears to be gen.
eral agreement in Washington that the wool
industry should be preserved in healthy
condition. So the outlook for wool producers
appears to be a reasonably favorable one.
Secretary Benson made a poor i'm
preston before Congressional agriculture
committees at recent hearing Many Con-
gressmen feel that he is impractical in his
viewpoint on some phases of the agricultural
problem. They also resent the broad hint
he gave consumers in recent speeches,
which amounted to an open invitation to
them to pressure Congress for lower price
supports. Committee members nevertheless
recognize that some of the dangers in pres
ent programs to which the Secretary points
are very real and will have to be faced
sooner or later.
Five important factors chiefly respon-
sible for the decline in exports of Amer
lean farm products, as outlined recently
by USDA, are: 0) a tendency abroad to
reduce inventories; (2} decline in us. eco
nomic aid; 90 the desire of foreign countries
to conserve dollars; az the fact that world
prices for many of our farm products are
below subsidized levels in this country and
90 most important of all, the continued ex-
pansion of agricultural production abroad.
