the Complaint were all a mistake

jjjDder, unconsciously, and were

conies of the amended paragraph.
tEi was a mighty fine favor to

In

Attorney Foor forgot however,
th»t Carl Bull himself had signed
tbe Complaint, after having made
« oath that he had read it care
fully, knew its contents, and that
the same were true, to the best of
hii knowledge and belief. Now,
thi lawyers, of course made out
the Complaint on the data as Bull
had supplied it to them, which
Bull had read. In view of the
fad that the mortgage which Bull
m attempting to foreclose was a
Preliminary mortgage on the Cal
lahan homestead, which Ada Cal
lahan had not signed and which
fact rendered the mortgage prac
tically valueless, and which the
allegation that Hurschel was
single at the time it was signed,
if established in the records
would have corrected, all contra
dicts very convincingly the theory
of mistake. In fact it was not a
anitake, hut was a deliberate per
jury, the disclosure of which is
very embarassing to Carl Bull, and
to doubt to his lawyers who, were,

the matter..

WHEAT CONTRACT
PAYMENT SEPARATE
FROM SOIL PROGRAM
A payment of 21*4 cents a
bushel, less administrative expense
will be paid Wheat farmers who
applied for contracts and who ad
justed their wheat seedings prior
to January 6 of this year, accord
ing to information received by J.
C. Taylor, director of extension at
Montana State College.
Taylor emphasizes that these
payments are entirely separate
from any which will be made in
connection with the soil conserva
tion program for 1936. "They are
a liquidation of the old AAÀ ob
ligations and will not effect farm
ers right to participate in the con
servation program," he said.

Senator B. K. Wheeler sent the
following letter which arrived on
Tuesday including the communica

News regarding the government
seed loan policy which in its work
out dooms thousands of farmers to
the precarious promise of perma
nent relief:
THE LETTER
UNITED STATES SENATE
Burton K. Wheeler
Senator from Montana
Washington, D. C.
April 18, 1936.
Editor Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana
Dear Sir:
1 am handing you enclosed, copy
of a statement which I am giving
out to the press, and which I feel
will be of interest to you.
With best wishes, I am.
Cordially yours,
, B. K. WHEELER.
I regret that the Departments
have adopted a policy not to
make seed loans to those farm
ers who are on the relief roll*,
or who are getting grants from
the Resettlement Administration.
I am informed there are about
2,000 of such farmers in Mon
tana, 19,600 in North Dakota and
15,000 in South Dakota. It has
seemed to me that the beet way
to get these people off the re
lief rolls is to give them money
enough to put in a crop where
they have the Land and the fa
cilities for putting it in, other
wise they are going to have to
remain on relief, not only this
summer but during the coming
winter.
On account of the drought in
the southwest there will un
doubtedly be a shortage of good
spring wheat, and there should
be a good price for wheat this
Fall. All of the Senators from
the northwest have joined in
seeking to rectify this situation
with the departments, hut up to
the present time it has been of
no avail, the reason being that
they didn't want to grant two
kinds of relief.
While the logic of that is cor
rect as a general proposition,
there is in the drought area an
exception pvhich, in my judg
ment, warrants the Departments
in making an exception to the
general rule.
State Highway Patrolman
Does "His Stuff" Here
U V. Cornwell, state highway
patrolman for this district was in
Plentywood the first of the week
"doing his stuff."
As a result four poor broke
citizens were required to take food
out of their family's mouths for
violation of minor road regula
tions.
Four citizens were soaked.
Gul Allen of Redston forfeited
a bail of $8 for not having a
drivers license while operating a
motor vehicle.
Leland Everson of Raymond
was fined for operating a truck
without proper clearance lights
and flare*.
Henry Ator paid a fine of $2
for not having a drivers license,
