Farm Soil Bank
Payments In Sc

Washington news sources dis
closed that the Agriculture Depart
ment has changed their stand on
soil bank payments to farmers for
1856 crops damaged or destroyed
by drought or other natural caus-
es. Payments will also be made for
immature crops that are plowed
up, the report said.
The about-face in policy was an
nounced by Agriculture Secretary
Ezra t. Benson on Friday in a
statement outlining the rules for
the 1856 soil bank program. Ear
lier, department officials said pay
mentS would not be made in 1856
for production losses caused by
accident" /"
Benson was quoted as saying
that the special rules are for the
1855 crop only. He also said that
1856 will not present a fair trial
of what the program can accomp-
lish" as far as reduction of surplus
production, the saving of soil and
water resources or the boosting of
farm prices.
The new farm law was signed by
President Eisenhower on May %.
At that time, Ag Department Off
cials were reported as saying that
payments would not be made un-
der the law in 1856. When asked
about the abrupt change in the
program, a department official was
quoted as saying, we did not
know as much about the law tilen

The Lola role, which Miss

years." said Sir Thomas, has
enon in the world of music dur
ing my lifetime, a large part Of
which I have spent as propa-
gandist for the cause. During
the 18th century. when today's
large symphony orchestra was
discovered by Berlioz. developed
by Wagner and raised to sum-
NIT by Strauss, the music of
Mozart, which does not require
such large forces, came to be
considered trifiing. effeminate,
thin, pretty.
But do not let yourself be
entirely taken in by the modern
symphony orchestra. AS we know
it today, it is new. and there is
no gertrude 1t will last another
so years. It is no criterion by
which to judge the music of
Mozart.
Fame Revived in 1906
"The revivification of Mozart's
fame took place in Munich about
1906. A group of men thought
they could cause some excite
ment by playing quaint old
Mozart, not with the ideal mod
ern orchestra. but with only a
few strings and some wind in
struments. They would put on
operas, the Anticipated charm
Of which would be enhanced by
the second and third rate singers
they could pick up about town.
and they would give the produc-
tons in a theater smaller than
this elizabeth SpragueI
Coolidge) auditorium.
"Of course. these queer pro-
auctions attracted the attention
Of Anglo-Saxon trippers. and
soon the fame of Mozart had
spread once again all over the
civilized world. Not only was he
slowly accepted by the public.
but it turned out that great
men of music venerated him"
A Beecham Story
At this point Sir Thomas in
terpolated a Beecham story
one, incidentally, of the anthem
ITCHY Of which there can be no
doubt. "Mozart's music was hor-
ribly treated in the early days
of his rebirth. Improved. or al
tered, we British called it. We
did it to all the great musicians.
81 was walking through little
country town one beautiful Sum
day morning, and came upon a.
small group Of people leaving
church. We exchanged good
days. and I asked them what
they were singing.
; Its the Messiah. sir. they
said. But isn't the Messiah"
frightfully difficult to sing?' 4
asked. oh, no sir. Not at all,
sir. You see, we have altered the
Messiah"
,. Sir Thomas returned to Mozart.
I'VE are now discovering that
the music Of Mozart, far from
being merely pretty, has a range
of expression and a depth Of
feeling unequaled by that Of any
other composer. AS an originator
and creator, this man who lived
for only IS years is simply as
founding.
Created Modern Opera
"He created the string quartet.
the instrumental concerto. theI
modern opera-opera which CAM
!, be enjoyed today both for music
and for drama. He was the first
to write ensembles in opera
numbers in which many singers
are heard at once. each with his
own musical and dramatic per-
sonality, as in the quartet-finale
Of the second act Of Die Ent-
fuhrung.'
