To Set Pace In Effort To Offset Delays

Field work moved forward
rapidly throughout the area as
nearly every day last week was

In Prince Edward, Dudley l..
Peery. county agent, reports
that farm work is still two to
three weeks late. He said, There
has been some swift progress,
but at the present there are a
mighty few farmers caught up
to their usual spring schedule. :"
Winds and warm to hot tenn
peratures caused top soils to dry
rapidly last week. and before
the week end farmers expert

Preparations of farm gardens

sections of the Herald area
High on the list of other farm
activities for the week was the
hauling and spreading of ma
nure.
Pastures On Decline
The condition of pastures and
small grains did not show much
improvement during the week
as growth was limited by the
lack of surface moisture. Alfal-
ia has been hit hard by the dry
period.
Peery said that the small
rain helped clover and some
grasses, but that more wa S
needed to enable the grass seeds
to come up.
Pastures are being grazed in
all areas and are furnishing
much Of the forage, particularly
in Prince Edward. Peery est
mated that pastures are supply

Rock-and-roll is the product

Negro, the songs and rhythms of

Rock and roll has never

fessor McCombs said, but added
that no similar wave of popu-

The governors palace concerts
at Williamsburg reached few,
and there still remains a weak
ness in wide reception for
classical music. It took $40 years
for the Commonwealth to organ

yet on Easter Sunday, 1860, the

Architecture Viewed

In her evening address on DO
mestic Architecture in Virginia, ="
Miss Annie Lee Ross pointed out,
The simple intent herein is to
look briefly at the mainstreams
of architectural stylistic trends
as they are found in some of the
homes Virginians have built for
themselves. and to point out the
tradition which is Virginia S heri-
tage and in which Virginians can
justly take great pride.
This tradition begins with the
humble shelters of the first set
tiers at jamestown, moves to
the stately Georgian mansions
of the Tidewater planters and
then on to the restrained Classic
masterpieces of Jefferson and
his followers. 1t was lost for a
time among an assortment of
stylistic oddities century ago
to be rediscovered again in our
own time she said.
To-day picture windows may
have replaced the windows of
Palladian design, but on even
the most modest home a hipped
roof. a Identified cornice. or a
Doric doorway serve to remind
Virglnians of the tradition which
is theirs" Miss Ross, associate
professor Of art at Longwood,
said.

which flouished beside the old

A professor Of art at the
Womans College of the Univer-
sity, Dr.. Ivy found the 70 south
ern museums compared favor
ably in numbers with other
regions of the nation. He de-
clared, however, that south
erners must find their own an
swers why a museum in the
South has not attained national
stature.
Interest Mounting
Virginia and North Carolina,
each with 10 museums of art,
lead the South in numbers. Inter
est, a reflection of increasing
culture, is still mounting ir this
region, he found. The move
ment started in 1857 and it still
seems to be the museum spawn
ing season. DR.. Ivy said.
To bring art to the status it
should enjoy will require public
spirited citizens with a real love
of art, and the inculcation of cul-
tural values in the training pro-
vided in southern homes, schools
and churches, the lecturer said.
He advocated more flexibility,
more venturing into the realm
of modern art as against pre-
ponderant favor with Renaiss-
-ance art. and concluded with a
note of warning that we're not
reaching all the people with art
in even a small way"
