about a new variety Of flax called
Bison. Kindly tell me about 1t and
whether it is recommended for this
part of the state. E. B., Sheridan
county.
A. Bison flax is a large seeded
flax that has been developed at N.
D, 1t is proving to be a very good
yielding variety and to be very dis
ease-resistant An average of the
tests carried on by farmers in Mon
tana in cooperation with the extern
sion service of the Montana State
college show Bison to have yielded
an average of IL bushels per acre as
against SO bushels for Reserve and
Sc bushels for Newland- Common
flax in the tests carried averaged
A bushels per acre.
Bison grows tall, which is proving
to be an advantage in making 1T
more easily harvested with a combine
as the bolls are up above the weeds
and can be easily harvested with a
minimum of weeds being cut at the
same time. 1t is a large seeded flax,
which is an advantage in planting IL
soils that tend to crust after seeding
as the strong sprouts can break thru
light crusts. 1t also being disease re-
stisant is an advantage in planting
on old ground, which, by the way, is
a practice that should be followed

A REMINDER

When the alleged newspaper
edited by Taylor, Rasmussen,
Henderson, ct al. proceeded to
take a slam at the Farmers Oil
Company of PlentywoOd, it e
minded us in a mild way of the
method in which several stOckhOl-
ders meetings of the Peoples
Publishing Company has been
conducted in recent years. If
there were steam roller methods
used it was at these alleged stock
holders meetings.
Where is the dividends due
those stockholders from the pro-
fits made by that paper on their
last county printing contract,
and for which profit they were
taxed almost $4,000 by the Fed
eral Government, and which they
also forgot to pay?
People who live in glass houses
should not throw stones.

ing a business OF hauling grain to
market for a set sum per bushel or
per mile or any other way, will have
to pay for the use of u public
highways. 1t will mean more business
for our local truckers and possibly
keep out these floating truckers that
drift into Montana from other states
each fall. We noticed in one nearby
town last fall where there were
trucks hauling grain which carried Ii
censes Of states far away a. Texas
and Ohio.
These trucks must also carry in

opinion the financial ability of the

OUT OF STEP

That gasoline tax furore Started by the
p ulcers News seems to have little or no
ct on the rest of the state of Montana;
act. that sheet is the only newspaper in
MS great state opposes this privilege OF
SLOWING the State Highway commission to
borrow money on anticipated gas receipts IN
order TO do more road work this year.
They harp and the howl about other
newspapers opposing the stand they take,
but as usual the Producers News is wrong.
Thy never were right and never will be
right. They are just what Joe Hooking, edi-
tor of the Glasgow Courier says:
One newspaper, noted tor its ia
cility for putting a false light upon ev-
erything constructive, has gone 50 far
as to distribute over the state a special
edition which is filled with the false pro-
paganda for which it's clique is noted.
This newspaper belongs to a crowd
which subsists on endeavors to destroy
the accomplishments Of other men who
are devoting their efforts towards up
building nd furthering the interests Of
the state. If there was nothing for them
to be against they would not long sur
vive
House Bill No. $50 was prepared by
Attorneys Howard Toole and E. H. loom
ey who elaborated in the work with MIR.
Davidson of the Attorney-General's Office.
The Safe board of Equalization, the
State Highway Commission, and the Gov
ernor of Monana have the same opinion as
the expert trainers of the bill that no such
conclusion as a ten cent tax is justified nor
intended.
Taylor maybe thinks he is right, and
would like to get a meal ticket in order to
shut his mouth.
They claim this was a scoop on the part
Of the News. 1t was not a scoop at all, as it
was SO barefacedly false that if they had
come out and said Montana had been annex
ed to Liberia or some other little known for
eign country, the story would have had the
same affect on the public.
More than two score Montana news
papers were sent to the Herald last week
in which we found wholesale condemnation
of their alleged scoop.
The Producers News tries an alibi at
the last Of their last weeks article, saying
it is not opposed to the debenture plan.
1t claims it is in favor of matching all federal
aid money possible.
This is another about face attitude
what did they do some years ago when Sher-
idan county was offered a federal road along
the east edge of the Indian Reservation. They
opposed it and succeeded in inducing suffi-
Glen voters to kill it at the fall election.
From that day as long as the reds were
in power in Sheridan county we did not re-
ceive any federal or state aid. Last summer
after the reds had been driven from office
and power in this county we got our first
road building here, and we have plenty more
in sight now, but if the voters Of this coun-
ty go against this debenture election May 5,
we may fare the same way again. The cleo
ton will carry in the state; there is no ques-

BROOKHART URGES
BANK FOR FARMERS
Iowa Senator Says Present
Financial System Under
Wall Street Control.

BY the Associated Press.
Describing the Federal Land and In
termediate credit banks as Gin the con-
troll Of Wall Street representatives" I"
Senator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa,
suggested today that farmers be allowed
to establish a banking system of their
own.
Such move, he said in an address
over the National BroadcaSting system,
would lay the foundation for success
OF efforts to bring agriculture ouk of
the depression, "an established institu-
ton since 1920"
The board which now controls the
Federal Land and intermediate credit
banks, Brookhart asserted. should be
abolished and the institutions turned
over to the Farm Board. Then the
latter should be authorized to develop
q complete cooperative banking system,
he added.
Says Authority Withheld.
When this is organized and de-
veloped, 1t would supplement- She neces-
sity for Government money and en-
able the farmers to finance their own
cooperative propositions Brookhart
said. AT present they have no per-
mission even to organize such a sys-
tenn under either the laws of the States
or the United States. The big finan-
cial interests have watched these laws
and kept all such authority from them"
He blamed the Federal Reserve Board
Tor having done more to bring about
the agricultural depression than all
other causes combined" and said If
the Farm Board docs not want to be
abolished" it should back legislation for
an "Eh1cient and Nationwide co-opera-
tive banking system
The simplest way to establish the
system, he said, would be ito amend
the intermediate credit act and change
that bank into national cooperative
reserve bank with all the powers of
the Federal Reserve bank, including
the power to issue cooperative re-
serve notes as currency upon the same
security as the Federal Reserve bank
ITSELF"
Charges Discrimination.
"As our banking system Is now con-
troued," Brookhart contended, "even
the surplus credit and deposits of the
farmers themselves are sent away to
New York to be loaned to brokers In
stock gambling at q low rate of in
tereSt, as low as per cent, while farm
ers must pay from to IL per cent for
loans to produce the food Of life itself"

The idea of eyelet embroidery for
the separate blouse is being worked
for all it is worth. The costume in the
foreground in the picture stresses the
effectiveness of the eyelet blouse when
1t is worn with a smart afternoon
suit. An ensemble such as this be-
speaks the daytime mode at its best.
Enthusiasm for eyelet-batiste carries
so far that infrequently it is employed
for both the dress and the hat which
tops it after the manner of the arrest
