New Books With Slides and Records
Are Fine Tools in Art Appreciation

er to take a chance on the
unfamiliar but prestigious
art of the two great museums.
The producers go further.
They hedge on their hedge.
For Messrs. Price and Mere
dith are not theatrical per-
sonalities simple and pure.
Each has had a long involve
ment in art. Mr.. Price is the
better known, chiefly for his
televiSion appearances an
swering questions about art
in the days Of quiz pro quo.
For years before that, how
ever, both men participated
in the making of short films
on art, as producers, as di-
rectorS and as narrators.
Mr.. Price has a voice that
is the model of sophisti-
Gated urbanity, nicely suited
to the image we all have of
the Louvre. Mr.. Meredith's
voice, on the other hand, is
full of a barely restrained
enthusiasm, most appropriate
to the younger Gallery and
the younger Nation.
The Grand Tour
With all these components
working in unison, Panorama
leads its reader listener
viewer on a grand of tour of
the two great art museums.
In both cases the selections
were made by the men who
wrote the books. The art
selected is not only the di-
rector's choice, it is also the
cream of two of the great
collections and it is also an
easy guide to the history of
painting in Europe and
America up to the 10Th CEN
tury.
Interestingly enough, the
American museum comes fur
ther into the great French art
Of the recent past than does
the French institution. The
Louvre package ends with
Daumier. The National Gal
lery section includes as well,
Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh and
Cezanne. The outstanding
Americans in the National
Gallery group are Gilbert
Stuart and WinSlow Homer.
In both packages, the stress
is on the great masterworks
of the collections. the pic
lures everyone goes to see.
The Mona Lisa is present,
as are the Fete Champetre,
the Madonna of Chancellor
Rolin, the Belle Jardiniere
and the rest. The National,
match, includes the Alba
Madonna, the Alterations by
Lippi/ Angelica and by Botti-
cell, the Ell Greco Virgin, the
Velazquez Innocent x, the
Vermeer Goldweigher, the
Vatican Italian Comedians,
the Boucher Venus and the
late Rembrandt self-portrait.
The style is relaxed and
friendly. The total result
should be to lure more people
to look at the pictures them
selves and even at some not
so well known.

vidually, thus making for
the highest possible quality
Of reproduction. The PIANO.
rama slides are Is nm. and
are duplicate prints, thus
inevitably making for less
than maximum fidelity to
the original work of art.
The serious. student, there
fore, will be well advised to
rely on the Gallery's own
slides. Color slide reproduc-
ton is never fully reliable.
In the Panorama slides of
the paintings in the Louvre
and in the National Gallery,
the tendency is toward too
much blue.
Art at Home
For the probable user Of
Panorama. the point can
easily be overemphasized.
For most observers, the loss
in color is probably compen-
stated for by the sheer bril-
lance of the shadows of great
pictures glowing in ones own
living room. With compa-
rable color-plate art books
selling at four to ten times
as much, the Panorama pack
age looks very good indeed.
An interesting Sidelight on
the approach Of commerce to
art is seen in the commentary
prepared for the series. The
authors are precisely the men
who would be expected to
know most about the two
museums: John Walker, di-
rector Of the National Gal
lery, and German Bazin, Gu
rator-in chief Of the Louvre.
Both men, moreover. have
had long experience is writ
ing about the art Of their
museums for non professional
audiences. Both do a very
competent job Of giving the
facts about their institutions
and the art and at the same
time creating a friendly at
mosphere in which the
reader-listener is made re-
ceptive to art.
Yet neither Of these men
is trusted with the task of
reading his own commentary.
This is not because of any
demonstrated lack Of ability.
1t seems, rather, to be from
the commercial motive of get
ting as many attractions as
possible into the package.
Since it seems reasonable
that not many people out
side the art world have ever
heard Of either Mr.. Walker
or M. Balm, the narration is
handled by American actors
who are we'll known, Burgess
Meredith for the National
Gallery, Vincent Price for the
Louvre.
Hedges on Hedges
To the gambling fraternity
and all book publishing is
something of a gamble-this
is known as hedging a bet.
The betting is that the IA
miliar and attractive pres
ence Of the two actors will
induce the potential subscrib-

Cotton Fertilizer Recommend.

Our agricultural advisory
committee composed of about
20 leading farmers throughout
the county recommend the
following fertilizer for cotton
for 1861. In the delta section
Of Holmes County they re.
commend from $1,000 units of
nitrogen per acre. The com.
mittee recommends applying
all of your fertilizer before
planting your cotton unless
you have exceptionally sandy
land. On sandy lands it is re.
commended that you split
your applications.
If you have a soil analysis
of your farm and it recon-
mends phosphate and potash
it is recommended that you
put the amount of phosphate
and potash recommended
from your soil analysis.
In applying phosphate and
potash it is advisable to place
these materials deep under
the row in a band placement
or put it deep in the middle
buster furroW and rebed on it.
1t is definitely not advisable
to broadcast any of your fert-
ilizers to your cotton crop.
In the hill section of Holmes
County your advisory com.
mittee recommends that you
put the equivalent of go units
of nitrogen, 1890 units of
phosphate and 1890 units OF
potash per acre. All of this
should be placed deep in the
middle buster furroW and re-
bed on top of it. Apply al
fertilizer before planting I'M
less the land is exceptionally
sandy. On extra sandy LAND
your nitrate should be divided
into two applications.

Release Cotton Acres

Release Cotton Acres
If you are not going to plant
any or all of your cotton al
lotment be sure that you go
by the County ASC office and
release the acreage you are
not going to plant. If you have
not planted cotton in the past
two years it is necessary that
you plant at least lilo of an
acre this year and you may
release the rest of your acres.
If you do not plant lilo of an
acre after having not planted
any cotton for the past two
years you will lose your cot
ton history for 1862. In other
words you would be out OF
cotton production.
March 31St is the last day
of releasing cotton acres. Do
not put off any longer. The
economy of Holmes County
and the state of Mississippi
largely depends on our cotton
allotment in the future.
