Wire to Representatives
A resolutions committee composed Of
g. 8. Bradford, Frank Kraft, B. l..
Schwartz, P. II. Hershey and G. A.
Sartain drew up the following resolu-
ton which was wired last night to
Philip Campbell, chairman Of the house
committee on rules and to Gray Sill
yer, farm bureau representative at
Washington:
''The mass meeting Of the county
farm bureau today urges the passage
Of the original McCumber relief bill.
Farmers came here believing farming
possible. They have sunk thousands
Of dollars Of their own money and re-
lief money experimenting and are just
learning how to farm. Poor ones are
weeded out. Congress saw our need
last year, and cannot let us sink now.
Insects and hail destroyed our crop
last year. The hard winter here means
a shortage Of feed and the situation is
worse than was expected. Aid to save
stock is needed badly. Twelve hundred
farmers need aid and more money than
last year. They could get no money
last winter. Aid would mean addi-
tional 165,000 acres planted. Nine
hundred farmers are practically desti-
ture."
The committee also urgently recon-
mended that every person interested
should send a short wire to the Mon
tana delegation in congress to not only
support the original McCumber bill but
to follow It up and push it through.

Grown at Moccasin
Experiment Station
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, March 15.--At meet
ing of farm bureau leaders here Tues
day there was an interesting discus
sion upon the merits of the new win
ter wheat, Karmont, which has been
developed at the Moccasin experiment
station. 1t is said this wheat, in the
tests, has shown a yield far beyond
that of any other sort of Turkey red,
the excess being more than five
bushels per acre. The supply Of seed
is as yet very limited, but there
ought to be plenty of it for the fall
planting next year. The registered
Marquis wheat holds similar advan-
tage in the class of spring wheats.
