WASHINGTON, d. C.-The atti-
tude of congress is: Let's get it over
with and go home. BY s'itn the leg
islators mean the appropriations for
defense, money for other govern
ment agencies and for foreign aid,
plus extension of control legislation.
And that. unless all signs fail.
Is about all you can expect the
present session of congress to
do. except 10 continue graft i'm
vesfigafions and make political
speeches on the floor of the sem
ate and house.
Members of both parties are anx-
ious to get home for the political
hustings. The Democrats because
they concede that they probably
have the toughest battle in 20 years
to stay in power. The Republicans
because they see this as their best
chance since the big depression to
regain control of the federal govern
ment.

Montana Raises
Most Mustard

NEXT TIME you taste the zippy
flavor of mustard on that fair-time
hot dog, remember that Montana is
still the worlds No. source of COM
mercial mustard seed.
Last years crop, produced in the
Cut Bank-Havre-G Great Falls triangle
area, totaled about 18,700,0 1000 pounds.
It was produced on $4,000 acres of
non-irrigated cropland, according to
USDA estimates. The total for the
nation was only 100000 pounds
more, and this was produced mostly
in California.
Mustard seed was actually planted
on $4,000 acres last year which is
still well below the 1940-49 average
Of $1,000 acres per year but was
above the $4,000 acres planted in
1850. However. crop conditions last
year were such that about 1000
fewer acres were actually harvested
than the year before. The yields per
acre last year were high, at $40
pounds per acre, as compared with
the 427-pound per acre average for
1910 to 1949.
The combination of unusually high
yields per acre plus a price of 5000
per 100 pounds as compared with
$6.18 for the 194O-49 period gave
growers an estimated value of pro-
duction for the 1851 crop Of $1,511,-
600 as compared with the 81, Az, 900
per year average from 1910 to 1949.
The substantial reduction in mus
tard acreage planted has been due
largely to the comparatively higher
income possible from wheat in more
recent years. This has caused some
northern Montana commercial mus
tard contractors to be unable to meet
their quotas with Montana growers
and they have gone into Canada for
additional mustard acreage.
Mustard seed production in south
ern Alberta, Canada, may soon run
Montana's longtime leadership :
close race. The two commercial con
tractors in Lethbridge report that
roughly 1880, 600 pounds of the seed
was obtained from nearly $4,000
acres planted in the Canadian prov.
ince last year.

FARM HINTS

Il is tradition that congress
must do something" for farm
ers In an election year. This
may be the exception thai
proves the rule. however. There
are peculiar circumstances that
indicate that.
In the first place there is no sign
Of any concerted farm drive for new
agricultural legislation. The farm
groups are doing more than the
usual amount of fighting among
themselves, and when they do that
congress usually sits back and lets
them 60 at it.
In the second place the admins
tration much prefers to permit the
present farm law. passed by the Re
publican congress in 1949, to stay on
the books so it can blame Repub-
Leans for anything farmers don't
like. Republicans are satisfied and
think they can defend it.
President Truman, in his annual
message to congress, dropped a cou-
pie of farm hints. He still likes the
Brannan plan and he thinks there
ought to be less flexibility in the
support program. Under the law
supports must be lowered whenever
SURPRISES begin to accumulate.
Republicans are not anxious to
make the change, but they will go
along if pressure from farmers builds
up ahead of the election. Neither
party wants to take any chance on
offending farmers just before an
election.
An issue too hot to handle appar-
emily is the Farm Bureau and
Grange drive to kill or cut the $685.
100000 a year PMA's soil conserva-
ton payment program. Congress is
showing signs of stunning that one
like the plague.

either.
Last fall he set 1852 goals at g.
100000 acres more than in 1851. In
January he said that wouldn't be
enough, that the increase should be
6,5O0,O0O acres. Production controls
were tossed out of the window.
Biggest increases are for feed
grains. On the livestock-feed situa-
ton the department is taking one Of
the biggest CANDLES in its history.

Vaughan, who acts as mar

Of "Encore's" stories is at his best
in the bit before "Gigolo and
Gigolette." He has spent a long
life being exasperated with aero
bats who risk their lives to excite
morbid audiences.
Nevertheless, it is tender
story he writes of the high-diver
played by Glynnis Johns. Nightly,
it turns out, this tiny, frightened
creature leaps from an 8O-foot
ladder into shallow diving tank
not for a maudlin audience but
for love of her husband. The
dramatic action is concerned with
her doubts of his love for her and
her fear of death when she loses
her single motive for risking her
life.
Miss Johns turns in a superb
performance in "Gigolo and
Gigolette." It is good enough to
counterbalance the relatively weak
one of Terence Morgan in the
story's other key role.

writer it can trust to be both
witty and wise.
Three stories comprise the

album from England. The first
of these is THE Ant and the
Grasshopper." an amusing trifle
about the moral triumph of a
wastrel over his stuffy, hard-Work-
ing brother.
Centerpiece of Encore" is
"Winter Cruise" In this is told
the story of a wistful, lonely spin
ster's search for happiness among
the cynical officers of a freight
steamer. In the performance of
Kay Walsh as the heroine, a per-
feet blend of comedy and pathos,
this piece reveals the depth that
real acting can find in Maugham's s
seemingly dashed-off characters.
The end item of the film is
''Gigolo and Gigolette." the love
story Of pretty young female
acrobat. That this type could be
affected by love is an idea that
would occur to few moderns other
than Maueham. That it did oc-
cur to him turns out to be an
enriching experience for those
who read it. And also for those
who will see Encore"
Patiently this is quite a variety .
Of life's slices. Each is acted with
the relish and dexterity that
marked the earlier collections, as
If Vaughan were crowding in
upon the loyalty English players
have reserved for more classical
dramatiStS.
The cheerful premise of "The
Ant and the Grasshopper" is that
1t is better to be clever than con-
ventional in the workaday world.
What it proves. indeed, is that if
one is clever there is no need to
work.
Hero of the tale is the hand i
some scapegrace brother Of
semistately English family. He
is full of tricks to torment and
threaten the older and conserva-
tive son Of the same parents.
When the latter refuses to ad-
vance more money, the charming
scoundrel turns up doorman at a
fashionable club or takes a Job
as window-washer. !,
The potential of disgrace to the
family in these indecencies usually
inspires the older son to kick
through. The master coup is that
in which the grasshopper's out
rageous manners enable him to
win the hand of the third richest
girl in England. With her money,
he snatches the famny's comfort
able country house out of the
hands of it's more honorable and
rightful heir.
Principal performer in this

SHE knew II was her turn to be

quickly or not at all. She pushed
herself gently away and looked at

as if she were bantering. You
remember that my great-gTaDd-
mother crossed the bottom of this
very coulee in a covered wagon
She was a young married woman
by the side Of her husband, going
with him into unknown lands"
Phelps laughed indulgently, his
tenseness leaving him for a mo-
ment. II remember, honey, and
how could i forget. We've talked
about 1t a hundred times, ! guess" :"
He began humrning 'Oh. Susan

tending to be on a wagon, putting
his fists I'M front of himself as

stopped humming. "And you

Calkins waited until they were

'Oh, Phelps"

Calkins smiled politely toward
Madge, as if to say she'd under

the President wants to say some

Calkins laughed, clapping the

Madge was thrilled when Phelps
broke security regulations and told
her. In view of her reaction, there
fore, Phelps was astonished that
next day Madge should forget.
And as a matter of fact. when in
mid-morning he ran over to the
cottage to inspect himself before
the Presidents arrival, he had a
very queer feeling that she could
not have forgotten Yet surely she
wouldn't.
He read the note again, wanting
to accept it. Find I'm out of

Big kiss for you. M"
Raising his eyes he giimpsed the
brief caravan of black touring cars
out the front window. Phelps
dropped the note, straightened his
necktie for the tenth time, and ran.
IHE President did not sit down
in Calkins' Office. But he insisted
upon the Secret Service men leav-
