That's Not an Eurthquoke,
The Music's Been Spiked
By Hurry Macarthur

If your seismograph has been
acting up this week, don't give
it another thought. We are not
having a plague of earthquakes.
Spike Jones is in town. Having
already played here on one-night
and theater dates, the only must
cal conductor extant who employs
a six-gun for a baton has set
up shop this time in a night club.
the Casino Royal.
It Is quite a lively shop. There
are not many who can crowd as
much varied buffoonery into a
fast-moving hour as Spike and
the City Slickers in their new
Musical Insai1ities of 1854" In
addition to the cacophonous as
saults on popular tunes associated
with the Jones band, there is
a great furry of other entertain
ment. Some is to the point and
some is comically pointless.
There is a pause in the non
sense, for instance, to let Helen
Grayco sing in direct contrast to
everything that has been hap
pening. Miss Grayco, who is also
Mrs. Jones, is an appetizing dish.
When she caresses an aporous
ballad she does for it exactly
the opposite of what her husband
does to a piece of music. She
makes it sound better.

He makes it-when she's not
singing, that is-sound terrible.
He makes it sound terrible so
wonderfully. too. with banging
pistols, shrieking sirens, changing
scrap iron and other esoteric
musical instruments. Whether

It is no obsession with him, Of

In favor Of Francis and Miss
Wynn as Ensign Keith and his

Naturally, Miss Wynn and Bob
couldn't be more elated. Where
under the sun could two 24-year-
old beginners in Aim acting find
q more perfect starting point for
careers? Both know: nowhere.
Miss Wynn came close, but
missed on a picture that also
faced breathtaking popularity.

and Peasant" Chloe" or some
other Jones special, it comes out
a magnif1cently brutal attack on
the tonal scale.
All music is nonsense, it seems
to say. only Spike Jones music
admits it and demonstrates it.
Spike is not averse to aiming
the spotlight at others in the
interest of entertainment. He
gives ample opportunity for di-
minutive Billy Barty to display
his talents. The Barty imper-
sonation Of Liberace is one Of the
seasons more notable contribu-
tons Of television to the enter
tainment world. Because of
limitations Of the travelling equip
ment, it has to be done at the
Casino Royal without the slap
stick ending into which it de-
generated on TV. 1t turns out to
be a much sharper satire this
way. too. Even a firm Liberace
admirer couldn't keep from
laughing at the Barty version.
There are q number Of other
contributors to the "Insanities,"
most notably perhaps the Wayne
Marlin Trio. These three per-
form as effective an adagio act
as you've seen in some time. Sir
Frederic Gas, Freddy Morgan,
George Rock and the other City
Slickers regulars are on hand.
Of course, and there also are
some newcomers. One of these
is a man who balances on one
finger on the mouthpiece of a
trumpet for no particular reason
except that he can do it.
What Spike Jones has hit
upon is a rare enough combina-
ton of broad, violent comedy
which is also admired by show
business sophisticates for its
staging. timing and-it's an un-
expected, word but it fits-sub-
tlety. He also, as he demon
strated on television, presents a
brand of aural and visual slap
stick that delights the young.
That zany plaid suit hides an
astute Snowman.

his life.
The exception? Well. he says.

Judith Basin country, this designa- |
ton now covers a much larger ter
rain. From Lewistown it extends
northwest to Fort Benton and south
from Lewistown toward Harlowton.
Its acreage is now fairly well fixed.
1t was the earlier developed agricuI-
tural area and gained a reputation
for its phenomenal yields of wheat.
While all of Montana dryland
farmers are continually complaining
about lack of moisture and periods
of drouth sometimes prevail, here
there is generally too much moisture
to produce the highest percentage
of proteins. The soils carry a very
high percentage of lime, being heavi-
1y sprinkled with pieces of limestone.
The basin is almost surrounded by
mountains and the general topogra-
ply is flat and level. Here again buff
falo, elk, deer and antelope literally
covered the land as far as the ex-
plorers could see.
The Bozeman-Gallatin Valley ex-
tending down to the Missouri at
Townsend toward Helena and west
to Three Forks, the source of the
Missouri, has at times been desig-
mated as carrying some of the deep
est dark soils in the world. I know
they are over 90 inches (eight feet
deep because I have run my auger
in them that far down. This area
carries the smallest total wheat acre
age of the areas outlined and the
smallest percentage of dryland
wheat, being irrigated. Here is the
only area from Texas to Canada,
from Columbus, Ohio, to Denver,
Colo, where it is quite common to
find wheat heads with five meshes
or 10 rows. Production, where irri-
gated, is very high and protein ON
the low order. There is some dryland
wheat in this area but the acreage
is small.
In 1858 these seven areas harvest
ed over 100000 acres and produced
114,000,000 bushels of wheat. AS
Montana now summerfallows prac-
tically 100 per cent of its dry1and
wheat and the irrigated acreage is
but small fraction of the whole, it
means that 100000 acres are I'M
der cultivation for the purpose Of
growing wheat.
Next 100000 Acres
It has been nv privilege to check
the wheat crops in this state while
the last 100000 acres have been
brought under cultivation. 1t has
been interesting and inspiring. There
are millions more to be turned over
with soils as good and climate al
favorable. The altitude ranges from
1900 feet at Culbertson and Balm
vile on the Missouri to over 4,00t
feet at Waller and Browning meas
Glacier Park.
The range of latitude runs from
the 10th parallel the Canadiaz
boundary to Heart Mountain at tn.

divide where the latitude is abou

There is no wheat grown in thi
part of the state, the production j
found between the 45th and 49t
parallels. All Of the acreage left lie

The United States Govern
ment-in this instance mean
ing the Interior Department
wants to sgive part OF Florida
back to the Indians. But the
Indians who live on the land
don't want 1t.
For over q century the
Mickasukie and Cow Greek
Seminoles have lived on In
dian reservations In q primi-
tive and mostly communal
society unmolested by the
white man in the swamps and
mucklands Of South Florida.
They have raised cattle and
grown vegetables. secure in
the knowledge that the white
man was satisfied with his
share Of Florida and did not
want the thousands of acres
Of mud, sawgrass and pine
barren Of the Everglades.
Many have continued to
worship fire and the element
in nature that makes the corn
tassle. Seventy-five per cent
Of them have felt no need to
learn English. They live in
matched huts called "chickees"
and cook over open fires.
New Policy
Now the Interior Depart
ment has rather suddenly de-
cided that it Is high time
these Indians learned about
free enterprise. The depart
ment wants to give the Semi
mole the opportunity" of
competing in a white mans
society. The best way to &C
complish this. it was decided,
is to end Federal supervision
and turn the land over to the
Seminole.
A Senate Interior subcom-
mittee hearing, attended by
several Seminoles in their
colorful garb, was held last
week on two bills that would
do just that. The reservation
Indians said they were OPP
posed. and one of them, Buffalo
Tiger, told the subcommittee:
Bill is bad thing. Give us
time. Let things go as they
are. That be better for In
dian and white man." He said
1t would be Is years before
