Ask Cooperation In War Against Bad Weed Menace D. Shirley Baker, Provo solicitor for the WPA weed project, Salurday issued an appeal to all land owners and farm operators to cooperate coop-erate in the drive against the serious weed menace. Unless concerted action is taken, farming will be up against a serious handicap in a few years, he says. "Morning glory, thistle and white top are the worst weeds which the Utah farmer far-mer has to contend with," he says. "Few crops can survive sur-vive on infested land," says Mr. Baker. "We hope to wipe out these noxious weeds from 75 to 99 per cent in most places the first year with the tillage and spray methods. Written suggestions on other methods found successful will be welcome, he says. Notify the county agent's office or Mr. Baker who lives at 1150 West Second Nortel street.

BACH EASTER ORATORIO TO BE PRODOCED Difficult Passion Play Music To Be Heard Thursday Night v Few Provo residents realize real-ize the magnitude of the oratorio, ora-torio, The Passion According to St. John, to be produced Thursday night in the Utah stake tabernacle by the Brig-ham Brig-ham Young university symphony sym-phony orchestra and the augmented aug-mented Bach chorus. The monumental composition hy Johann Sebastian Bach has never been produced in the west before because of the difficulty it presents for college students. Story or Crucifixion The oratorio follows the text of of St. John as the story of the Saviour's crucifixion is dramatically dramatical-ly carried to the audience by the recitative of the solo voices, answered an-swered in reply by the chorus, which represents the mob screaming scream-ing for the death of the Nazarene. The production is especially appropriate ap-propriate for the Easter season, according to Prof. LeRoy Robertson, Robert-son, who is in charge. Miss Margaret Mar-garet Summerhays is director of the chorns. The solo parts are sung by Prof. Richard Condie, the Evangelist; Owen Bingham. Jesus; Ralph Britsch. Pilate; Ferris Edgley, Peter; the other recitatives, Mrs. Alhe W Clark, Harvev Staheli, William Purdy; solos, Lota Pax-man. Pax-man.

A similar production by Bach, The Passion According to St. Matthew, Mat-thew, is being produced by the Harvard Glee club and the Boston Symphony orchestra, and is receiving re-ceiving wide publicity in the east, Prof. Robertson says. Provo's attempt at the Bach production is being closely watched by music critics over the nation. An idea of the beauty of the oratorio can be gleaned from the following excerpt, Part I of the text to be sung: Part I CHORUS : Lord. our Redeemer, Thou whose Name in all the world is glorious, shew us in this Thy Passion, Pas-sion, that Thou, the true and only Son for evermore, e'en from humiliation hu-miliation sore, dost rise victorious.
