OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

LAFAYETTE, April 1 Spraying potatoes with a fungicide plus the insecticide, DDT, increased yields profitably in a series of twelve roidwestern experiments in 19-16, according to Dr. It. W. Samson, Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station plant pathologist. Potatoes sprayed with DDT alone yielded an average of 332 bushels, Tho5e sprayed with DDT plus Bordeaux mixture yielded 375 bushels, while those sprayed with the insecticide, DDT, plus a new fung

icide known as Dithane, yielded 406 bushels or 74 bushels more than where DDT alone was used. The differences would have been even greater if dry weather bad

not prevented severe potato blight development, Samson reports. Unfortunately, the new fungicide, Dithane, cannot be used as a dust. So'me good new copper 'furis;i- I ciilis are also available tor vise on home garden potatoes, acccird- I ing to Dr. Samfon. Those can be i , j . i , . . ,

Inl

in a "romantic melodrama"

titled "The Eagle Has Two

Heads," the cne-and-only Tallulah Eankhead may have thought she

naa a tour tie force, but it soon becomes a series of forced detours and winds up in a dc?d end. And a very . dead end it has, what with the Queen heroine reduced to a lump of regal finery, i!esigned by Aline Bsrnsteln, and the Queen's al-

most-boy-friend

Tallulah Bankhead

that to the loyal Bankhead followers, the Queen can do no wrong. So, despite some of the most caustic comment ever heaped on one opus by the combined Broadway critical fraternity, Tallulah's followers were packing the standee line on the second night and may still be, to? all we know. Fact Is again that Miss Bankhead can rattle off nursery rhymes in a manner to make them sound spellbinding. And since this is the case, it is more than ordinarily annoying to find her regally swinging on and off stage spouting lines that, at times, defy ordinary interpretation. Ranking with the mystery of the Collyer brothers Is that of

Miss Bankhead's selection of this

play. For she has not onlv se-

lected it, but seemingly insisted upon doing it.

bkimmine the general theme.

the story isn't too bad. It concerns a queen whose husband

was assassinated. She has gone into self-imposed exile where, as the play opens, she is talking to her husband's ghost and toastinff

his memory. A poet-revolution

ist, bent on killing her arrives in the midst of a storm, is wounded by a guard. She hides him and

he falls in love with her. Realizing that the evils abroad in the land are not of her making, but the work of a prefect of police and a designing relative. ' the

young revolutionary pleads with i her to make herself known again i to her people. But h forgets j that the villains may not be will- ;

ing to abdicate. Also he has not fully realized that the queen is basically interested in death. . j

As the complications pile up, i

the poet shoots the queen after snatching from her a vial of poison she was prepared to swallow j and drinks it himself. All of which might not add up to bad melodrama were it not for the gosh-awful manner in which the ;

dialogue is written. j

The play's title, by the way, is

derived from the Royal family, crest a two-headed eagle! ;

Despite the hypnotic perform

ance of Tallulah it also has two strikes!

As the curtain fell on this drama in one monologue and two acts, the roine may or may not

nave oeen every inch a Queen; but certainly she was every inch a corpse. For not since Cyrano

de Bcrgerac first tossed himself

about the stage in the longest

winded death scene ever penned, has there been anything to equal what happens in Broadway's Plymouth Theatre, and on one of Donald Oenslager's most elegant

ly contrived stairways. You have our word for it that by the time death arrives not a single fragment of scenery had escaped unchewed. The one-and-only Tallulah managed to shove off magnificently in a cornfield planted in the Queen's castle by Jean Cocteau, the French playwright. Since this is the corn from which Bourbons are made, let it be said and quickly that the electrifying Tallulah, ran the scale of nobility, passion, tragedy and wrecklessness in a manner that was regal, vibrant, glamorous, radiant, resourceful or whatever synonym happens to be within easy reach. Let it also be said and quickly that no matter how many heads the eagle may have, it also has one of the scr&ggliest tales to be related hereabouts in some time. But finally allow us to add
