It strikes me peculiarly ironic that
the same day the announcement Of the
inner loop survey award was made, Tax
Assessor Martin was bemoaning the
fact that the District Of Columbia tax
on groceries was not producing the ex-
pected amount. In my opinion tax on
food Is Infamous. No other State in
the Union would permit 1t. The resi-
dents would run their elected ofiicials
out of town on a rail. Not SO in d. c..
We have tax on food.
Since tax money Is so hard to find
that food must be taxed 1t behooves
.. c. officials to make darn sure $685.
600 surveys aren't ordered Just to get
out from under some possible pressure
One final thought: My friend, Tax
Assessor Martin, says he is sure the
food tax returns being low do not mean
that people are buying their groceries
outside the District. Mr.. Martin is
wrong, dead wrong. drive 10 miles
every week to shop outside the District
SO as not to pay the tax on food. Hun
dreds are doing the same thing. OF
course you don't save any money but
it's the principle involved. A tax on food
Is morally wrong. To spend 1t unwisely
makes 1t doubly so.

Good music has an ever
increasing audience in the Dis
trict, it was agreed yesterday by
a panel at the Washington
Futurama.
Increasing attendance at clas-
sical music concerts and greater
volume of classical record sales
are the yardsticks for measuring
the trend.
DR.. Howard Mitchell. National
Symphony Orchestra director, a
panelist said the orche tr a
played to more than 10000
children last year in 80 young

Six of those concerts were
played in Constitution Hall with
overflow audiences. In 1949. the
hall was only half-filled on the

concert was presented, he said.
Arousing the interest of young
people is the "Surest and best
way to insure the future of good
music" DR.. Mitchell added.
Another panelist, Richard
Bales, music director of the Ma
tional Gallery of Art, said the
increasing trend toward appre-
citation of good music by Ameri-
can audiences might be termed
the growing up" of the listening
public.
The trend has had a strong
influence on contemporary COM

College to Offer Course
In Aerial Crop Dusting

COLLEGE STATION, Tex.
July ~ R.-You skim trees that
guard the cotton patch, then
nose the airplane down into It.
Inches from the ground. you
level ouut.
The craft roars along the fur
rows, so low that the taller plant
tops nick the tires. Behind, your
swath Of chemical dust curls
around the leaves.
As the end Of the row rushes
ups you shove the throttle fully
open and ease back ON the stick.
The plane. heavy with hundreds
of pounds Of dust. struggles UP
and over the trees.
You turn sharply and whiz
down into the field again, lips
pursed against the batterins
lslipstream and eyes alert behind
the goggles for the hidden power
line that could spill you into OBJ
Ilivion.
This is crop busting, one of
the Nations most important and
tricky aerial jobs. It takes crack
pilots with trigger-quick refiexes.
Shortage Of Pilots
Authorities say there is q crit
icai shortage Of trained agricul-
tural pilots. And here, on the
campus Of Texas A. &s M. Col
Ilege, they plan to do something
about it.
Starting October 81, the school
will offer a six-week course in
agriculture flying, the first of
such broad scope.
Ad1M is teaming with the Civil
Aeronautics Administration and
the Texas Aerial Appncators
Association to give the course
Flight training and classroom
instruction will cover all phases
of the aerial application busi-
mess.
This is q milestone in the So
year history Of agricultural
aviation. In 1919 the United
States Agriculture Department
began aerial application expert
ments by busting fruit trees in
Ohio infested with catalpa
lsphinx.
Today. the aerial applicator
does scores Of jobs. He dusts
cotton for boil weevil. then de-
foliates it 50 it can be picked
more easily. He sows rice and
cover crops. He spreads ferti-
Ilizer. lays down weed and brush
killers, seeds forests and ranges.
He sprays ponds to kill mosqui-
ltoes, stocks fish in lakes. On
Ichill mornings he'll fly through
your tomato field stirring the
air to prevent frost.
Operate 5000 Aircraft
| Aerial applicator firms op-
erate more than 5000 aircraft,
nearly fiye. times the United
States airline fleet. They treat
chemically one Of every II acres
under cultivation in this Nation.
Aerial crop control work is done
on more than 200 types Of crops.
To be an agricultural pilot
you need special training. Here's
why:
