...first signs of spring began to appear across the countryside last week, a U.S. farm magazine turned young farmers' thoughts to the problems of taking a wife. In its spring issue, The Farm Quarterly (cir. 189,000) warned the young farmer to be careful to select the proper strain. Its recommendations, with some adjustments, were thought-provoking for city cousins...
Having thus completed his spring planting for a year's crop of letters from readers (mostly female), Editor McGinnis (a country boy who married a city girl) grants that there is a combination type, often selected by neither flinthearted nor slipshod methods. "She is the ordinary farm girl who takes her calf to the county fair and gets a blue ribbon, and goes to college, too, and dates her boy friend on the next farm.

...Spring #1 aptly illustrates one of Marin's most complete statements of his approach to art: "Seems to me the true artist must perforce go from time to time to the elemental big forms-Sky, Sea, Mountain, Plain,-and those things pertaining thereto, to sort of re-true himself up, to recharge the battery. For these big forms have everything. But to express these, you have to love these, to be a part of these in sympathy. One doesn't get very far without this love, this love to enfold too the relatively little things that grow...
