NEW PEPPER SEEN
 AT STATE FARLEY
Seed Growers Glimpse Sweet Fruit at Experi-
 ment Station Session

A sweet pepper producing approx imately 25 per cent more fruit than the average commercial variety was introduced to seed growers at a meeting at the Mount Carmel farm of the New Haven Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station this week. The new pepper, developed by Lawrence Curtis of the plant breeding depart ment, was christened Windsor A." and is the first of new series to be brought forward for Connecti- cut.
 MT. Curtis told the growers the Windsor A, in nve-year experi- ment, yielded 42 fruits per plant row as against an average of 28 for the commercial varieties grown in comparison, and the fruits were ready for picking earlier in the season.
 The new hybrid is the result of crossing two extreme types of pep- pers, he said. One parent was California Wonder, 8 late, green, large, thick-walled variety and the other was Bountiful, an early, pro- ductive, rough, thin-walled pepper. Bountiful originated at the Experi- ment Station in 1928. Windsor A is not only productive and early, but it's fruits are smooth, thick walled and large.
 A limited quantity of seed of the new variety is now available for trials and for seedsmen who want to increase It.

 MAY SPLIT PARTY

some 3outherners arc as critical of the New Deal as are Borah and q Bcattering of western republicans Of the g.o.p. leaders in eastern, in- dustrial communities.
 The exchange in which Borah and Col. Theodore Roosevelt discussed prospective campaign issues empha- sized the division of republican thought. Borah rejected defense of the Constitution as the central 1938 issue and Col. Roosevelt, in turn, chilled the senator's proposal to make the issue trust busting and an attack oTi monopoly.

 They talk about making regimen tation the issue" Borah told the Post correspondent. What is the use of talking about regimentation and keeping silent about monopoly? Are we going to throw out Roosevelt regimentation in order to be regi- mented by great monopolies? If the American people have to choose be- tween being regimented by the gov ernment and being regimented by private monopoly. they would pre- fer to be regimented by the govern ment.

 Challenges the East
 Borah's challenge to eastern lead- CTS does not necessarily signify plans to bolt the party If the platform or candidate do not reflect the Sen- ator's views. In the matter of party regularity, Borah's record is pretty clear. He has failed to campaign for 8 republican nominee on occa- sion but the senator never has bolt ed his party--not even in 1912 when he was the elder Roosevelt's repub- lican convention floor manager. He and Teddy parted when bull moos- CTS paraded from the 6. o. D. con- vention hall.
