This is because he was a true innovator who rebelled against every artistic tradition. His early works were very acceptable realistic studies of his family and scenes of the town in which he lived. But when he adopted the new cubist style in the painting, Nude Descending A Staircase, he shocked even the art world and they refused to exhibit it with other cubist paintings at a show in Paris. Duchamp's nude, a moving body, is depicted as though it was a stroboscopic photograph. !n the past, artists had painted the female form with softly sensuous curves. contrast, Duchamp's figure In is described with strong diagonals angularities. and When sharp it was exhibited in the United State at the Armory Show in 1913 one critic described it as "an explosion in a shingle factory." A - DUCHAMP- presented by the Philadelphia College of Art Perhaps Marcel Uuchamp the most difficult artist to flowing cost of all inputs was rising to lsvels such as we have never experienced. Hay sold for $45 per ton in March. In August, we paid $56 per ton. Grail which cost $125 per ton in March is now costing $144 a ton. On a cost of production basis, the feed to produce 101) pou.iis of milk from our herd which has an annual production of about 14,000 pounds per cow cost $3.75 in M arch and is now running at a rate of $4.45. By tha time we add in the costs of hauling miU, the deductions for advertising, market order administration and others, the cost of inputs such as electricity, soaps, and gas, plus labor, figured at $1.50 per hundred pounds of milk (0.6 hours at $2.50 per hour), we have a variable production costof $6.71 per hundredweight of milk. This cost does not Include any return for management nor does It include any return on investment. Ln our own situation, we have an investment of $2,000 per cow at the presynt time. to the few years later, Duchamp decided he did not need to paint, but could use other materials to express himself. Painting put him too much in the service of his hand, and Duchamp believed the most important aspect of the artist was his mind. Once he actually selected an ordinary urinal, signed it, and named it The Fountain but this work was not permitted to be exhibited. The Fountain and other such We are currently marketing about 140,000 pounds of milk a month. If we consider just the effect of Increased feed costs and the drop in milk prices on our milk income, the decline in available income is very substantial. The milk price drop cut our milk check from March to August by The increase in hay $2,060. prices has added $S25 a month to our costs, while grain price increases have added $455 a month. These items alone ha to combined to reduce available incline by $3,941 a month. A factor in the increased hay price which many of us find difficult to understand is that a number of alfaL'a cubers are operating in our area. These cubes are presently selling at $64 aton delivered to local dairymen, but the big demand" for them is for shipment to Japan. The current price for this export market is $62 per ton delivered to the local rail shipping point. We find it difficult to understand just how it can be profitable for Japanese producers to ship this feed that Philosopher, Innovator works were known Artist as It was the first time ordinary objects from life were used to make a work of art. "ready-mades"- . interest Duchamp's in movement led him to create the first piece of kinetic art, or art that moves. It was a bicycle wheel attached to a stool which the spectator was invited to set into motion. He worked upon his major piece. The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even. for many years. One must a a yl 6 ; read a g re a Duchamp's notes which describe and explain the process of his mind and hand, in order to understand or appreciate this work. He uses new media for this work: glass, lead wire, accumulated dust, mirror, and pigment and deals, with very revolutionary subject matter. It depicts a mechanical means of making love which never comes to fruition, thereby symbolizing man's sense of alienation in comemporary society. He gave up art altogether in 1923, and spent most of the rest of his life playing chess, employed a game thought an artist's mind should be employed. He did have one last work which remained a secret to even his closest friends until after his death in 1968, at the age of 81.

I recently priced a new hay baler for my operation and was informed by my dealer that the price would go up 18 percent as of October" 1 tomorrow. What will all of this do to milk production levels'? What is the individual dairy farmer doing to cope with the problem? The most visible and dramatic development, of course, is the departure from the business of dairy farmers. In the last six months, two dairies in our area have been forced into bankruptcy. A relatively high percentage of the milk produced ln Utah is Grade B or manufacturing milk. Right now, these producers are not even recovering their feed costs from their milk sales and most of the Brade B producers in my area are talking of quitting the business entirely. In my own situation, I plan to cut back by about one -- third on grain feeding. Most others I have talked to about this are also Manning a cutback on grain use of from to one-haIt 's difficult to predict exacUy what this will do to milk production other than to say that it will reduce the production per cow and mean less total milk. The dairy farmer today faces a level of uncertainty such as he has never known. In the last two years, he has seen his markets opened up to imported products time and again for the express purpose of reducing prices. Faced with the prospect of such a policy being used again and the rising costs of production, it is difficult, if not impossible, to expect fanners to make the investment needed to maintain or expand milk production. We appreciate the Committee's action in calling this hearing. Actions must be taken to restore the confidence of the producer in his market. The Federal order hearing that has been called for early next month Is a step in the right direction. If the findings of this hearing are used to establish a floor under the basic formula price for Class I milk under Federal market orders, it will be of substantial help. An increase in the price support level for milk, however, is needed to keep our manufacturing milk producers in business and meet the need for this segment of the market. anti-free- ze rd CA kf . i inn iuu iNortn k. m.
