Program Eased
For The Small
Wheat Grower

Farmers WHO fhave wheat acreag,
allotments of Jess than Is acres ma.
plant as mugh as is acres of whea'
in 1866 and have their other crop,
eligible fof price support, Wilbur Y
Bunke, chairman of the Allen Count,
Agricultural Sterilization and Con
servatiqh Committee said this week.
Mr.. IBunke pointed out, however
that exceeding the farm wheat acre,
age allotment will make the wheat
from the farm ineligible for price
support. This means, he explains
that farmers with small wheat acre,
age allotments can produce Is acres
of wheat and have their other crops
including such allotment crops as
corn and tobacco, eligible for price
support. Farmers with wheat allot.
ment of less than Is acres who want
their crops eligible for price support
must comply with all other crop acre.
age allotments and stay within the
1928 average acreage OF Vegeta-
bles and potatoes.
Recent legislation provides that
farmers whS plant in excess of any
of their crep acreage allotments be
given an opportunity to adjust their
acreage before harvest. Any wheat
acreage used for hay, silage, pasture,
as green manure or cover crop will
not be considered as wheat in determ-
ining com ipliance with acreage allot-
ments for the wheat marketing quota
program or for determination of
eligibility for price support.
Mr.. Burke also reminds farmers
that farms with wheat acreage OF
Is acres or less are exempt from
wheat marketing quota penalties.

of above 100 degrees during .
third consecutive year OF

said. "The War Eagle River,
which is a tributary Of the

JeIinek Trio Reveals
Good Musicionship
By Homer Ulrich

:. The Jelinek Trio, Barker Hall.
7. w. c. A.; Jerome Jelinek. cello;
George Murray. piano; William Wright.
Beethoven; Sonata No. .. for cello
and piano. Ross Lee Ftnney; TRIO. Opus
la Brahms.
The musical health Of a COM
munity may be measured by the
number of chamber-music en-
sembles it supports. The Jelinek,
Trio. performing yesterday after
noon at Barker Hall, is yet
another of the groups that re-
veals the good health of musical
Washington. The fact that the
audience was unfortunately small
may be attributed to the pres
ence of Stravinsky elsewhere at
the same hour.
The three young men made the
most of an almost nonexistent
literature. Beethoven's early
trio, Opus IL, was performed
with skill and gusto. Except for
a tentative beginning, the en-
semble was without reproach.
William Wright, the clarinetist,
has more than one tone quality
as he demonstrated in the
Brahms trio. Unfortunately he
chose to play the Beethoven
with a strident tone throughout,
to the detriment of the tonal
balance.
Jerome Jelinek and George
Murray did a first-class job in
Finney's second sonata. Reveal
ing their technical control and
considerable command of the
idiom. they made the work sound
more interesting than it really
is.
Likewise, the trio's perform
ance of the Brahms revealed
good musicianship. But that trio
requires a knowledge of the au-
thentic Brahms style, a style that
is reserved and leisurely. but also
subtle and intense. Technically
done in the best of fashions. the
groups performance lacked to
some degree the repose and for
NAL perception that are essential
to late Brahms. Few musicians
achieve those elements. however.

fugue. 1t Is highly intellectu-
allied piece, dry and undramatic.
To some Of the hearers it was
simply dull. To others 1t was
slightly irritating. But to still
others its clarity, its never-ceas-
ing rhythmic drive, and its me-
lodic pungency gave it an appeal
not unlike that of the late Bee
thoven fugues.
Although the piano part was
played on a modern SteinWay.

ent from the Septet than the
Octet with which the program
opened. This piece, written in
the early twenties, is a big. COM
polling work. astonishingly rich
in color and melodic invention.
1t is as ingratiating in every de-
tail as the Septet is unyielding.
Future performers of Ibis
toire du Soldat can invoke this
concert as their authority for
emitting the speaking role of this
popular piece, and for the sub
Stitution of the trumpet for the
cornet called for in the score.
One cannot question the author
ity of the composer on these
points. Yet for me the work lost
something by having those sar-
donic. pathetic and ironic little
movements. crowded together
without the relief of the en-
trancing fable which in the orig
inal score is the skeleton on
which the music is hung.
AS for the trumpet SabStitu-
ton, the indispensable beauty
of the performance by Robert
Nagel tempts one to stif1e reSer-
vations. Still. to my ear there
was nothing gained and some
thing lost by the absence of the
blaring, vulgar and pathetic tone
of the cornet.
