Will America's Farmer Lead? . When Dr. George D. Scarseth finished his talk at the annual wheat banquet here last 'Wednesday night, he had set a lot of new thoughts loose in the minds of Sullivan county farmers. ' ' . One of the nation's foremost soil scientists, Dr. Scarseth has been working hand-in-hand with farmers, not only in America, but in other countries as well. His appearance here last Wednesday -was the beginning of a "new day" for farmers in this section because he gave them a complete nev angle on food production and what it means to the constructive building of a new era of peace and happiness all over the world. His theories are thoughts which are shared by many of this nation's top scientists and leaders and touch the basic foundation of all the world's present-day ills and troubles. Proper nutrition has long been recognized for the health and well-being of humanity and with this country's technical knowledge, aggressive energy and resources a new age may well be initiated by a thorough program of increasing our foGd production to a point where we can give the rest of the

wjrldthe light to lasting peace. If a person is starving, or if

xiis' cmiciren are starving, tnen there is nothing he will stop at,j'ncluding killing as well as thievery and low moral standards. . ?. It's a question of soil fertility keeping up with people's fertility, he says. A good example of this is the countries of India and China. Both nations are torn with strife and dis

cord traceable to an unhappy, underfed and starving popu-

.lace. Ail Decause the son will no longer support their huge population.

. Our soil at present is. producing record crops but in the not too far off future the bumper crops of today will begin dropping off and our birth rate will exceed the ability of the soil's productivity, bringing about a situation not unlike those of China and India now. Far-sighted farmers are aware of ;th'i3 now and are beginning to take measures to prevent such a catastrophe. But more of them are needed in the drive for soil care. The nitrogen, potash and other plant building elements must bereplacecl, in our farm lands or our very existence will be taxed. , America can be the leader in bringing about a levelingoff of the hectic period we are now in the midst of and America's farmer can and will be the deciding factor n this important problem.

Just before Christmas, Broadway is not likely to be as good as it can be. Business falls "off to such an extent in many theatres that backers, fearful of losing their stockings and shirts, hang up the shoestrings they started with. The big New York show is in the crowded streets and jammed stores. Smart producers sell out weeks in advance to benefits and tide over the lean two weeks. The hits, of course, go merrily along. Newcomers race for Christmas night opening spots and seat prices skyrocket for the New Year shows. Audiences, caught in growing traffic jams, come in late. Holiday night performances are likely to prove headaches particularly the next morning. This year, in from the road for Christmas night, comes Bert Lahr in a revival of "Burlesque." Also a jived-up version of 'The Beggar's Opera," now titled "Beggar's Holiday," with Duke Ellington and John Latouche providing the new tempo. Sidney Blackmer stars in a comedy titled "Wonderful Journey." . From Philadelphia, the scouts report that a music shovvj "Finian's Rainbow," is the five-star music and dance wonder that the big street has been waiting for ever since "Annie Get Your Gun" rang the bell. The raves from the Quaker City already have the locals lined up for advance sale tickets. Heading this way on the try-out circuit is Talullah Bankhead and some others. It doesn't look too bad for the coming year. Which reminds us ho, humthat it's about time for the annual round-up of who was who ' and what was what Well, Ingrid Bergman is and will probably remain he No. 1 attraction of the big street. Helen Hayes, running amuck in a ginmill, and Ina Claire at her slickest are runners-up. Lines already have been drawn for the battle of the Manhattan Critics Circle. Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh" will be defended by several of the local brethren until the last scotch-and-soda is downed. And the verbal ecstacies of several others indicate that Lillian Hellman's "Another Part of the Forest" is the tops in drama writing. A few have hinted that they think Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of Lorraine" a pretty good job of play-

writing. But that one is likely to

be thumbed down after a few votes.

Checking over our own notes

we find:

That something of a record in revivals has been set. And just as well. Tops in "Cyranos" is Jose Ferrer... For two entire years.

"The Red Mill" has proved to be the miracle comeback . .. . Burgess Meredith docs his best per

forming in "The Playboy of the Western World." a modern classic if ever there was one...

'Lady Windemere's Fan" is an

elegant style show from the yesterdays...

That very special mention

should go to Irving Berlin whose

lyrics and tunes m Annie Get Your Gun", must, by now, be known to everyone in this land

.And a new and almost-perfect

Ethel Merman has emerged...

That "Born Yesterday is such

a hilarious travesty on war-contract goings-on that recent Senate investigations often appear

to have plagiarized some of the

comedy's material. "Call Me Mis

ter" is a GI frolic a satire In which there is as much truth as friction. . .Ray Bolger remains the street's top hoofer-de-luxe... "Park Avenue," away to a slow start, heads for the hit class,

which proves that critics can

guess wrong. .. Worst music show was "The Shoe Fits" . . . Best human interest is to be found in Ruth Gordon's autobiographical,

"Years Ago . . .Best character study is given by Fredric March in that family comedy... "No Exit," Paris importation, is first" existentialist drama . . . And finally, a brief tribute to one of the finest artists in her profession Lauretta- Taylor for whom the last curtain has fnllen. A bit belatedly, soma of the Broadway historians now stop to take measure of her greatness and to regret that her great gifts were not given more and better range. Those who saw her in "The Glass Menagerie" must have been impressed by the perfectionism with which she approached each little detail of a characterization. ' Tennessee Williams, who authored that drama, writes from New Orleans: "It is our immeasurable ioss that Laurette's performances were not preserved on the modern screen. Their glory must survive in the tesiimony and inspiration of those who saw them. There was a certain, reliance and glow about her rrt which can be compared only ro the greatest lines of poetry ..." Our generation know her d?r.t as "Peg o' My Heart." When her husband, Hartley Manners, 'i Miss Taylor be?n what she wr.s pleased to call. "Thr longest wake in' history..." When s!ie returned to the stae, she vvrs nearmg 60. Throughout hfr engagement in "Glass Menarnc"' she suffered from throat troi'h ? and was broken in hlfh G'lantly she carried on. Siie was S3 when she died.

PICTURED ABOARD the S.S. Marine Marlin, which clocked in New York with 928 passengers, is Robert . Vitols, seven-month-old Estonian baby, who was born in a displaced persons camp.

IN the fall of. 1841, Aurore presented Stephen with an eight-pound daughter, Julie. Life was good at Harrow and Stephen was never happier. The gray was taking over the red at Stephen's temples and Ktienne was already at school in Paris in the days when Julie, already a beauty at eleven, rode her fat ony behind her father's horse as he surveyed his fields. In that summer of 1853 men talked more and more angrily about slavery and Stephen, though he owned 1,500 slaves, found himself frowned upon by neighbors for his "abolitionist" views ... The old enmity was forgotten, however, between Stephen and Phillippe Cloutier when the latter returned with hi? grown daughter from Texas. It was about that time that the steamer Le Cyyne, in

ward bound from France, was towed over the Mississippi bar and dropped anchor in the harbor of New Orleans. A young man now, Etienne Fox stood at the rail with his friend, Paul Dumaine. "You will find much to paint in Louisiana," Etienne promised. But his voice was harsh when he turned to his personal servant, Inch, who was standing nearby. "Bring our baggage," he barked. "Move faster!" Inch walked away. Paul asked, "Why do you speak so harshly to him? I find your Inch a capital fellow." "France ruined him," Etienne growled. "He stole away of nights and studied at the Ecole de la Jurisprudence de Paris." Law no less!" . ' The coming of the small boat to take them oft, ended the conversation. Soon they were rolling up the avenue

of oaks before Harrow and the great white house gleamed softly in the early afternoon sun. "'Ma foi!" Paul said. " 'Tienne, why didn't you tell me that in your own land you were a prince!" Etienne looked at the house. "This is Harrow," he saidsoftly; then, again, as though savoring it "Harrow.!' ' High above them on the upper gallery, Julie saw the carriage. "Company, Papa!" she called. "Company!" With his arms about the child and Aurore, Stephen went out to greet the arrivals. For the first minutes, it appeared Etienne would be smothered in feminine embraces. Then Stephen took his hand. "Ye've changed," he said. "But 'tis for the better, I think ' (Continued tomorrow)
