FAYE PRICE IN
HARP RECITAL
Unusual Mastery of the
Instrument Both in
Technique and Expres
sion Displayed. .
Music week w-iis successfully, ter
minated Saturday evening by a
hiu'p recital given in th Presby
terian church by MIn.h Iltye 1'rice
usslsted by Florence Lynch .Miller,
soprano and Mrs. J. A. TVdford,
organist.
The church was filled lo over
flowing at an early hour mid n
number of people stood through-
out the entire program. Others
were turned away at. the door.
This concert was perhaps one of
the most unusual of the- entire
week. I( is seldom that Iji Grande
music lovers have an opportunity
to hear harp concert a and particu
larly ones by skilled performers of
Miss price's ability.
I'ntiMiuI Mnslrry
Miss Trice displayed an unusual
mastery of the Instrument both in
technique and expression. Her first,
group opening the program Includ
ed ''Vnlso Caprice" by Avon, "Rev
erie" by Frojo anil "La Harpe
Uolienne" by Godefroid. While
not particularly heavy types these
compositions were played with de
lightful grace and charm. The
second selection featured arpeggio
work und Ihe third, chords.
In her opening suite Mrs. Miller
sang "L Ileure Kzqulsltc" (The
Knchanled Hour) Hahn; "Dawn,"
Curran, and "Song of the Open" by
luForfe.- Mrs. Miller sings with
unusnnt rienrness and fresness ns
well us with considerable expres
sion. Her voleo was u. flutelike
(tuality combined with unusual
truenrss of tone wliich is particu
larly pleasing. . For un encore she
sang "believe- Me of All Those Kn
deuring Young Charms." with harp
accompaniment by Miss Price.
Miss Price accompanied the singer
at the piano In the first threu se
lections and displayed unusual
ability at this as well us with the
harp.
For her second group Mteti Price
played three of the most fiimitiar
operatic numbers, "Tales of Hoff
man" by Verdalle. selection from
"II Trovatore." ur ranged by t'lmt
terton and "Sextette from Luela,"
arranged by Cheshire. For on en
core she played a medley of old
familiar songs Including ''Old Folks
at Home" and "Annie Laurie."
Combination Delight fill
The combination of the pipe or
gai and harp featured in the next
suit of pi ere was exceptionally
beautiful. Mrs. TVdford performed
at the organ anil of course MLsb
Price with the harp.- The pieces
were played in a duct form from
special arrangements rather than
as solo and accompaniment.
Songs played were "The Kosnry.'
"The Swan" and "Serenade Caprl
clsossa," all from urrangemenls by
Pi n I o. Two hurpologues or ser
monetts with harp accompaniment

Not for practically a score of

ben so severe us thnt of the past
winter saya . F. , L. Kent,' s'utistl-
cian, l S. department of agri-
cultire, after a personal visit to
the principal wheal producing
counties of the state.
"Old timers" report that in
1U06 damage to the wheat crop
was even more severe than dur
ing the past winter, for that year
the freeze camo in March, and
much of the spring seeding, as
well as that seeded the fall be
fore, was destroyed. The limti
freeze does not appear to have
been quite so wide spread as the
one of th past winter, for in
some sections it is reported that
not since 1888 has there been
such severe damage to th wheat
crop as that of the past, w inter.
Ort'tfoii lAtss Great.
For the state as a whole it Is
estimated that not less than 75.
per cent of th w heat seeded in
the fal of 1!2 failed to with
stand the winter, leaving only
about I'BU.OOt) acres (of winter
wheat) for the 1125 harvest. it
is estimated that close to 95 per
cent of the wdnter-killed area was
reseeded to spring wheat. In the
eastern part of the stale the per
centage will run slightly higher.
and in the western part supply
lower, owing to a larger than us
ual seeding of oat a and bartey.
There hits also been considerable
Increase in Ihe ucreage of barley
seeded In the eastern part of the
state. Only a very little of the
winter-killed area was left idi.-.
Tho . damage was most severe
in tho counties of Hhermun, Oil
Hum und Morrow, where It is esti
mated that about !'5 per cent of
the fall seeded acreage was w inter-killed.
Wasco and I niatilla
counties are variously estimated
at 8(1 to HO per cent loss, and
