STATE COLLEGE TAKES
SEED SHOW TO FARMERS

"Since the farmer cannot come to
the seed Snowflake the seed show
to the farmer" is the slogan of the
agronomy department of the Exten-
sion service. Realizing that COM
paratively only a few farmers can
attend the state utility seed show
held annually at the state college, or
the international at Chicago, exhibits
from these seed shows will be dis
played next week in three towns IN
Eastern Roosevelt county. Seventy
four of the international exhibits
and one hundred and ~thirty-six from
the state utility show will be exhibit
ted to all persons interested in the
further building of quality seed in
the communities of ~Culbertson, Balm
vile and Froid on March 9th, 10th
and 18th.
The international exhibits includ-
ing the worlds first premium hard
red winter wheat which was also re-
serve sweepstakes for all the wheats
at the Chicago international for 1924,
and also the worlds sweepstakes ex-
hibit of oats as well as the sweep
stakes given to barley will be on dis
play. The barley was of the two-row
variety and won the sweepstakes in
competition with all other barleys.
The hundred and thirty-six exhib-
it's from the state utility seed show
are samples of grain and seed for
sale by Montana farmers. These
are not hand-picked, but represent
the seed supply sold under the seal
of the Montana Seed association.
In addition to the seed show there
will be featured a farmers seed ex-
change, which should be of value.
This, however, depends upon the
willingness of farmers who have a
good supply of quality seed on hand
to bring it to the exhibit with in
formation pertaining to it's history,
quality, etc.
The other feature of the Roose-
welt county meetings will be an ex-
PLANTATION of the crop standardized
ton program and if possible, and
enough community spirit is manifest
ed, an organized campaign against
wild oats will be started. 1t is hoped
to have Mr.. Ogaard, extension ag-
economist assist with the program.
However, it is not definitely assured
that his services can be obtained for
these meetings. Whereupon it will
fall on the local growers and county
agent to conduct the program.

MOTHERS
IMPORTANT

Mothers should see that the whole
family take a thorough, purifying
system cleaning laxative this Spring.
NOW is THE TIME. The family
will be healthier, happier, and get
along better if the blood is given
a thorough purifying, the stomach
and bowels cleaned out and the
germs of winter accumulated in the
system, driven away. HOLLIS
TIERS ROCKY MOUNTAIN TEA is
one of the very best and surest
spring medicines to take. Try it
and see the difference in the whole

they'll eat better, sleep better, and

Especial to The Herald)

Washington, March BIN the
closing hours of the Sixty-Eightf
Congress there is one question which
holds sway, "Will the president
sign?" Those sponsoring various
legislative measures which require
the consent of the chief executive
wonder if Mr.. Coolidge will resort
to a prerogative of his high office
and exercise the much dreaded
"pocket Veto" The other members
of Congress who r leaving their
official positions voluntarily or in
accordance with their standing in
the elections last November, are TAX
ing up considerable time to deliver
their swan songs.
$ The "pocket veto" does not mean
that by merely placing a bill in his
coat pocket the president kills the
legislation. Actually, the term de-
scribes the procedure by which the
chief executive disapproves measures
without bothering to return the bill
to Congress with a veto message. IT
Congress adjourns within the ten
days allowed the president for re-
turning a measure the bill is lost.
This method of thwarting the will
of the legislative body is never very
popular with presidents. Most of
them have preferred to veto a meas
ure and state their reason. If Con-
gress is very determined it a must
er a two-thirds vote and pass over
the veto. This likewise is a rare
practice.
The president has been agitated
by the nationwide protest against
the action of Congress to increase
their own salaries from $1,000 to
$4,000 per year. The amount of
money involved in. the increase is
relatively small. 1t is the principle
and not the million dollar appropria-
ton which has provoked discussion.
The fact that no roll call was taken
makes it impossible to determine just
who voted to help themselves.
Under pressure from the home dis
tricts some members of the senate
and house have been writing their
alibi in the Congressional Record.
Some of these explanations are en-
tightening. 1t is obvious that if
every Congressman who wrote out
his extension of remarks for the Con-
gressional Record had actually made
these remarks on the floor their sal
aries would never have been in
creased. Extension of remarks is a
privilege which allows a member to
deliver his speech exclusively to his
stenographer or, in some cases, have
the st~enographer prepare it for him
and then have it printed in the Off
cial record.
During the last week members of
the senate and house have been as
docile as a school boy. Inasmuch
as votes are very important party
leaders have endeavored to keep
down the number of absentees and
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1925-03-05
Our Washington Letter

have even forced night sessions to
make up for time lost during the
early part of the Congress. When
it is whispered that a whip order
is OUT legislators who are inclined
to be tardy or skip a session find
themselves forced to participate in
the elaboration. Under stress. of
party responsibility they lose their
individuality and become just a vote.
The individual Senator or Congress
man honored by their respective
parties as 'whip" has a difficult task,
for in reality he is nothing more than
a truant officer to a lot of unruly
men. He has a list of addresses and
private telephone numbers at his dis
posal. Several important social
functions have been broken up this
week and many society matrons have
found themselves without an escort
when orders are delivered from the
Capitol hill.
Though several attempts were
made, few major bills relating to
agriculture were passed at this SEES
sion. 1t is said that several self
styled spokesman for the farmers
attempted to becloud important is
sues by using the old cry of relief
for the dow~n1trodden agricultural
class. Senator Glass, democrat, of
Virginia, and former secretary of the
treasury, recently took Senators
Hiram Johnson and Tom Hefin to
task for their attitude. Very terse-
ly, Senator Glass described the situa-
ton in Congress as follows: "The
sooner we quit going through the
wretched pantomime of legislating
the farmer into prosperity the sooner
the farmer will prosper. The sooner
the farmer realizes that it cannot be
done, the sooner he will set in mo-
ton those activities which will enable
him through and in himself to ac-
quire prosperity"
Congressman Charles l. Stengle, OF
New York, in his swan song said
that he was retiring on my own mo-
tion-a motion not accelerated by
my own constituents" In parting
he offered his colleagues some advice
if accepted, would be a great
boon to the taxpayers. Mr.. Stengle
declared that Congress must cease
and talking here for parochial
popularity and the w~himpered plaud-
it's of local newspapers. We need
less comedy, and attempted comedy,
and more sturdy, stalwart, courag-
eous, common sense" Characteristic
cally, the house cheered these re-
marks and then proceeded to offer
legislative measures which will find
their end in the waste basket.
Tomorrow at high noon the Sixty
Congress will adjourn. The
I'D order gives way to the new and
BY n o'clock the Coolidge admins
will be firmly entrenched.
The members of Congress will have
nearly ten months in which to get
bearings from the folks back
home.

PERSON HAS TO die
FROM NATURAL CAUSES

ST. Paul, Mimi, March 4.-If fig
ures don't lie, a person must drop
dead of heart failure or some other
natural cause in order to die on a

reason why insurance companies pay
