Prices Paid To Farmers Will Decline Again services involved in production-including interest taxes and wage reached a new record high in mid-April prices of farm products rose more than enough to offset this increase But this rosy picture will fade somewhat according to the economists as supplies Increase seasonally thereby lowering farm prices The economists saw no change in farm costs In April the index of prices paid by farmers for goods and services used in production was 4 per cent higher than a year earlier The department noted that the April parity ratio the relation of prices received by farmers to prices paid by was 87 a year ago it was 82 The Increase stems from the fact that the index of prices received increased more than the Index of prices paid The index of prices received by farmers was 10 per cent above the April 1957 level but 2 per cent below the 1947-49 average and 15 per cent below the all-time high reached in February 1951 The five principal folksong traditions from colorful past are brought to life by an LSU professor in a new recording Louisiana Folksong Jambalaya Just published by the Louisiana 'olklore Society The songs representing the Cajun Old French Negro Negro-French and Anglo-Saxon elements in the cultural were compiled by Dr Harry Osier assistant professor of English at LSU who has specialized in the etudy of folk music particularly that of Louisiana The professor spent nearly two years collecting the songs which he sings on the new record He accompanies himself on the guitar "Folksong represents a continuing project of the Louisiana Folklore Society to issue books and records documenting the rich Louisiana past Dr Os ter said Last spring the Society issued its first recording also an-album of Louisiana folk music Sampler of Louisiana collected by Dr Oster and aung by traditional performers and singers DRAWN from every corner of the state the 18 songs in the new album cover a good bit of ground from one of the oldest ballads in the English language (dating back at least 400 years) to a catchy tune derived from a voodoo dance banned by state authorities in 1843 as too "disturbingly Although ancient traditions still exist side by side with twentieth century industrialism in many parts of Louisiana today there Is a movement toward disuse of the French language which is also apparent in current Cajun folk music Many of the older Cajun people have extensive repertoires of ancient folksongs songs which survived movement from France to Canada in the 17th century then survive exile of the Acadians from Canada to Louisiana in the 18th century For the most part however children of the Cajuns today sing what Dr Oster terms folksongs some of them composed in Cajun dialect within the last two generations with their style and subject matter showing the influence of Southern mountain folk music or commercial country western music DR OSTER sings several of the older traditional Cajun folksongs in his recording On? of these is "Allons danser derived from a voodoo dance brought to Louisians by Negro slaves from San Domingo and the Antilles Although banned by state authorities the dance continued to flourish but today it has no traces of the primitive Negro elements Four songs of Louisiana's Old French folk tradition are included in the album Uo until the recent past the descendants of the early French settlers remained dominantly French in speech dress and custom and many of the early folksongs brought here with the first settlers from France have survived to the present day echoing the France of the 17th century One of the most familiar of these Old French folksongs is "Jamais je Will I Forget the story of a young man who quarreltoi with his sweetheart because he had refused her a bouquet of roses Called "A La Claire in its more familiar Canadian form this song has numerous variants THE SEVEN Negro folksongs on the recording not onlv include the great epic ballad "John but also "The Pace of the Natchez and the Robert and several other colorful songs sung by the Negro roustabouts who worked on the old passenger and freight packets Dr Oster puts a comic touch to his Negro folksong collection in Boll which presents a dialogue between the voracious boll weevil and a poor Negro farmer who wise is left by the weevil with "lest one ole cotton dress full of Unlike most of the slaves In America many Louisiana Negroes became Catholics adopting the re ligion of their French masters Using an African approach to the French language the Negroles in stinctively shortened words seemed to have too many syllables and changed vowel sounds which GLAMOROUS CONDITIONED WASHINGTON The Agriculture Department said Sunday night prices farmers receive for their products will drop somewhat during the next few months while the cost of things they must buy probably will remain high The forecast was made by economists in the publication "The Farm Cost The department noted the cost-price squeeze on farmers has eased somewhat since last Spring Even though the cost of goods and Irate Student Fires Shot At His Teacher NEW ORLEANS UP Calvin Smith was grading papers and his 30 pupils were working quietly on tneir lessons Tuesday when there was a loud report "Who threw that Smith demanded "That was no firecracker one student replied "That was a bullet and it was aimed at Smith turned and found a bullet hole in the wall The shot had barely missed his head A girl seated near the door then related that she saw one of former students aim the gun and fire then flee down the hallway with a companion Juvenile authorities who withheld the 15-year-old identity issued an order for his arrest "Why he should shoot at me I do not said Smith "1 1 flunked him out but ao did the other were unfamiliar The result was a musical patois much like the Negro French or Haiti Dr Oster sings "Fomme la dit mo Woman Says as an example of this type of song LOUISIANA also has its share of Anglo Saxon folksongs Americans who had Inherited the traditions of the British Isles settled on the east bank of the Mississippi river north of New Orleans between 1763 and 1779 when that are (then called West Florida) still belonged to Great Britain Later many inhabitants of the other southern states settled in northern Louisiana bringing with them Anglo Saxon traditions and some of the native folk music of the southern mountains One of the oldest ballads in the English language appears in the Anglo Saxon portion of Dr recording "The Cambric in which a clever girl uses her share wits to win a man Her man tells her he will love her if she performs a series of difficult tasks but she gets in the last word by countering with a set of even more difficult tasks for him Dr Oster also sings "Choose Your Love as We Go a song Such songs developed in strictly Protestant communities where dancing was considered sinful and the fiddle was generally regarded as an instrument of Satan However frontier youngsters wanted to dance so they ingeniously devised the in which they a game and slyly provided music by singing and clapping their hands The
