The justices were divided evenly.
No written opinion was rendered
and could not be in the nature of the
case. Their decision merely amount
ed to an affirmance of the lower court
on these particular cases.
"It is the intention of the secretary
OF agriculture to request the attorney
general to bring another similar case
before the supreme court as soon as
one arises. in the hope that there may
be full bench and that a final and
authoritative decision of the court will
be rendered. Pending the time the
supreme court renders such decision
