At WEAKEST CONGRESS-
Simmons Declares Sixty-Seventh
Most Inefficient in History.
Scores Administration.
By the Associated Press.


NEWBERN, n. c., March 3.-"The
weakest and most inefficient Congress
in our history" is the characterization
to which the Sixty-seventh Congress
is entitled. Senator F. M. Simmons
declared in a statement given at his
home here tonight Its record has been
one of weakness. vacillation, in
consistency, camouf,age and sub
terfuge," and were 1t not so tragic,
the spectacle the end of this Con-
gress presents would be truly
laughable. he asserted.
Speaking broadly" Senator Sim
mons said, cit may be asserted that
this Congress, with its large repub-
lican majority and its .boastful
ment OF progressive. remedial and
constructive legislation. has not only
failed in all of its promises, pledges
and predictions, but it has left a
re:Drd so barren of accomplishment Mt,
SO replete in its shortcomings and
be characterized as probably the
weakest and most inefficient Con-
gress in our history.
THAT 1t has been a sore disappoint-
ment not only to the people at large.
but to the republican party as we'll
goes without saying" he continued.
"It has been a record Of weakness,
vacillation, Inconsistency, camouf1age
and subterfuge. In both houses the
leadership OF the dominant party has
rank and file has been discordant and
unstable. The result Is there has
been no unity of purpose or. concert
OF action on the part of the majority
in matters Of legislation, and the
President and his cabinet. instead Of
In IN Int a n, -
and directing along wise, safe and
constructive lines. has by equal
vacillation and Inconsistency con-
tributed to make the situation worse
instead OF better. SO that the end
of this much vaunted Congress pre-
sents a spectacle Of imbecility and
cowardice which would be truly
laughable II 1t were not SO tragic"

Cattle and Sheep
The Imperial Valley will grow to
be Il very important factor in the
beef and mutton supply Of the Pa
cific Southwest. Our cheap grass
and cotton seed meal afford a fat
tening ration that prepares rough
feeders for the Los Angeles and
other markets. AS our pastures in
crease Il larger and Sieadier stream
of beef and mutton will flow into
the upstate markets. And as the
coast market is stabilized the in.
centive for our stOckmcn to feed
will increase. Imperial Valley is the
natural fattening pen for the meat
supply that is necessary for mil
lions of our population.
About $4,000 beef cattle were fed
in our fields this year and 1000
ewes were shipped in from the range
to be finished for market. The val
ley is q favorable lambing ground,
the mild winters being adapted to
raising and fattening baby NUT
! ton.
Dairy Industry
Many of YOU coast bankers Will
not realize that the Imperial Val
| ley has become the breeding ground
| for your dairy cattle, yet during
the last year, hundreds of ear loads
| fo cows, most of them on full pro-
duction, were shipped to Los An
geles and adjacent territory.
The great increase in your popu-
| lation has made your land so valu-
| able that you cannot afford to pro
ducc the feed for raising dairy
stock. With 2S,00O dairy cows as a
nucleus, and with registered sires
to head our here's, we will breed and
raise the cows to supply your local
dairies. Last year we produced
6.500,000 pounds of butter, about
1900 pounds n day. Our dairy pro
duets are now third in the state. w,
| have been favored by Il high but
! ter market-about nine cents above
last year. This California market is
the highest in the United State
and has stimulated production
throughout the state.
Cow Testing
Desiring to better dairy condi
tions the Imperial Valley Bankers
Association has used its influence
for registered sircs, scientific feed
ing and testing of COWS for pro
duction. Last October we brough
Il dairy expert to the valley as Al
assistant farm advisor and II cam
paign was launched for Il COW test
ing association. Within 30 day
2900 COWS had been slgLed up. w,
