Helpful A group of five Englishmen came to the University this week and first of all wanted to see its world famous tractor testing lab oratory. The delegations were, in the state for five days to observe farming methods and more par ticularly the mechanization f midwest acrieuTture. The EC A through the Anclo-A m r i & n Council on Productivity, soon- sored the visit. The erouo was made un f Hichard Dawe, farmer; Elwyn Owen Jones, farmer; Edward Brown, agricultural worker; and Edward Griffiths and Hugh "Wil liams, representing the Ministry of Agriculture. Hay "Russell, dis trict extension supervisor at the University, was in charge of the group during their visit. Dawe, who farms 500 acres of land in the midlands of England, was one of the five particularly interested in the tractor testing lab. He said the Nebraska test re sults are followed widely in Eng land and a modified testing plan may be set up there. Dawe said he thinks that'Eng lish farmers probably diversify their farmine onftratifins nn Tniirh rand that perhaps more special izations would assist in then- pro duction. On his own iarm. he raises everything from root crops xo iHeretora cattle. "3 am sure we srp lesmin? something from your American farming methods," he said. . . -Jin, uifijrwAjw-j .mw in Hi i iwiinirniTTiii rr will be anade f buff oolomd brick with Xlttwx Ctreenstone trim.

'Three Men on a Horse' : Will Play July 24, 25 . The University Theatre and the Union will present the farce comedy "Three Men On A Horse," by Holm and Ab bott, in the Union Ballroom on July 24 and 25. Admission is free and the play will begin at S p.m. Something unique in play pro duction will be in the presenta tion f the comedy. It will be taged in the arena style which has not been used much here at the University. The stage will be set up in the middle of the room so the audience may completely surround it: The seats will be elevated so the audience will have a better view f the stage. Antics With Horses The story concerns the antics of a few characters who are inter ested in playing the horses. Patsy, Charlie and Frankie, are three f this special breed and may be seen at any odd minute of the day in a bar, which is tended bv Harry. Mabel, exchorus girl and Patsy's girlfriend., is with them most f the time. The trio has been losing heavily on the races and are trying to figure out new angles on how to pick the right horses, with the least possible ef fort, when Erwin Trowbridge comes onto the scene. Erwin is aa insignificant man., employed by a greeting card com nanv to mrritc mop-mc He !H'vrc in a quiet suburb f New Jersey math his wife, Audrey, and leads a normal life until his uncanny ability to dope the horses is dis covered by Patsy, Charlie and Frankie. Erwin never bets on the horses, but confines himself to a survey f the racing forms on his way to work in the mornings. Accidental Tip One day, Erwin finds himself; in unusually low spirits and made a visit to a nearby . bar, which happens to be the one frequented by the horse-loving friends. He gets into a conversation with them and accidentally gives them the correct 3ead on the day's winners. A sort of business agreement is worked out between the four and they talk Erwin into being a con tinuous source f information. This leads to SDendine murh im in the bar, and consequently too mucn drinking. He disappears from his home and office lor See Theater p. 2 "1 - i FRIDAY, JULY 21. 1950 Union Plans Chamber Music Recital "The University family will be given a chance to have an eve ning f Chamber Music. Wedns. day, July 26. The concert which will start at S p.m. will be held in the Union ballroom.

Jafe1' magazine readers will re member an article last fall which featured a leading Chamber music group, and pictured listeners to this informal type f music. In true Chamber style, the audience is seated incidentally, in a parlor, where they may enjoy the concert with coffee and conversation.
