"Oh, that's where the spuriousness,
the fraud and the counterfeitin1
comes in," Brookhart shouted to a
crowded floor and gallery filled with
distinguished persons including Mrs.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Mrs.
Dolly Gam, figures in Washington's
social dispute who sat together in the
vice presidents row of the gallery.
The Iowa senator said the pending
farm bill adds nothing more than the
1923 law already provides through the
intermediate credit banks. That law
was found to be inadequate to meet
the farmers needs, he said. The new
one also will be inadequate, Brookhart
declared.
BrOOkhart said he made 200 speech
es for Mr.. Hoover in the campaign,
telling the farmers that the president
had fixed the price of farm products
in war times and would now do it in
peace time.
The republican national committee
sent out million and a half copies
of his speeches, he said. But since
the election, "none of the stand-pat-
ters have even consulted me about
farm relief" Brookhart added.
"I do not wish to detract from the
credit which is given to Senator Bor-
ah for persuading Mr.. Hoover to
call this extra session during the cam
paign," ne continued. "But I spoke
to Mr.. Hoover about it as far back

Crop Improvement Policy
Adapted Varieties Used Extensively By Sheridan County
Farmers In Farming Operations This Spring. Wheat Heads
the List Among Pure Seed Farmers.

Although the pure seed work has
bopn carried on through the County
Extension office in this county for
tbe past several years, it was not
until this spring that farmers through
ant the entire county realized the
Importance of using the adapted va
rieties to increase the yield and
mality of their crops. This year
there will be several thousands of
acres planted to registered wheat,
harley, oats and flax. Marquis wheat
still remains the leading variety that
NAV be registered by the Montana
Seed Growers Association and is the
variety extensively used in Sheridan
County. The growers who were the
source of supplying registered wheat
in this county were Lars Angvick, Re
serve; Ole Nelson, Homestead, and
George OVERLY, PlentywoOd. These
three growers supplied registered
wheat to over fifty farmers in Sher-
idan County and there were also two
carloads of registered wheat shipped
to North and South Dakota.
As Sheridan County ranks first in
flax production, many growers are
using the registered varieties which
are Newland and Reserve for seed
this year. Although there has been q
big demand for flax from all sections
4 of the state. farmers in Sheridan
i County have secured their supply OF
seed flax this year ard many orders
have been sent from this cnunty t.
all sections of the state.
Barley being one of the best feed
crops for livestock, the acreage plant

.L|NDY'S FINDS HINT
CIVILIZATION LINK
Scientists Believe Culture of
Mayas and PuebIos May
Have Been Related.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A link between the culture of Pueblo
Indians of Southwestern United States
and Central Americas Mayas was FORE
seen today as Col. Charles Lindbergh
completed his latest aerial exploration.
The Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton, for which the aviator has collected
Photographic evidence and notes that
reveal new material of both civiliza-
tons, foresees that possibility.
The one civilization, towering in the
majesty of ancient Maya, has been hid
den from the world by a jungle welter;
the other, rich Pueblo culture reared
in the sun-baked sands of Arizona and
New Mexico, has the unfriendly desert
as its protector.
Both areas, rich in the material from
which science unrolls its pictures of the
past, have been viewed from aloft by
Americas Lone Eagle" But 1t was
not until today that the possibility Of
q common thread of cultural evidence
was limited as a link between last Au-
gusts flights in the Southwest with the
recent Magyar surveys.
The special task of tracing the pos
sible connection of the cultures will be
the work of DR.. A. v. Kidder, for more
than Is years an explorer of Pueblo
ruins, who has recently been appointed
head of Carnegie'S archaeological de-
partment.
DR.. Kidder. flying from New York,
Joined Col Lindbergh in Belize, British
Honduras, last Saturday to take part in
the last few days Of flying which laid
old Magyar sites open for the first time
to the eyes of science.
How much there is in common be-
tween the two old civilizations, divorced
as they are by distance, may take years
of intensive research to unfold.
The cultural remains in Southwest
ern United States indicate to scientists,
as far as they have advanced that the
aboriginal peoples there had not
reached the state of Magyar develop
ment.
Primitive structures stand in the
desert, while in Central America tower
ing temples rise in mystic grandeur
above the green sea Of tropical jungle.
Much remains to be learned of both.
Col. Lindbergh and the scientists
who have flown with him have closed
another chapter in his book of aerial
adventures, only to open a fresh page
for science on which to chronicle new
knowledge yet to be gained.

When DR.. Ivan c. Jaeger under
took the production of satisfactory
commercial head lettuce that would
resist the attacks of brown blight
in Imperial Valley one field of New
York Special was found that had
2 large number of off type plants
that resisted the blight. From these
variants he has by persistant work
produced the new we'll known Impcr-
ial No. 2, No. 3, and No. 6. These
strains have made it possible to
grow lettuce continuously on In
pefial Valley land that heretofore
was good for only few years. This
has done more TO produce
stable condition in our valley agri-
culture than any other event in re.
cent years.
The lettuce work beginning with
the development Of the early I'm
perial strains is going on toward
the production of a group of blight
