AdamsOm Law,

Washington, March 19.-The

all respects today by the Su-

The decision was 5 to 4. JUS
tees Day, Pitney and Van De-
vanter announced their dissent
from the bench and later Justice
McReynolds announced his.
In dissenting Justice McRey-
nolds said that Congress did not
have power to enact the law, but
the majority decision now gives
it authority to fix trainmen's
maximum and minimum wages,
"to require compulsory arbitra-
ton of labor disputes which may
seriously jeopardize movement OF
traffic aud to take measures et-
fectively to protect the free flow
of commerce against any combl-
nation, whether of operatives,
owners or strangers.'
The decision makes eight hours
the standard of a days work ano
wages for men in operation OF
trains and legalizes the wage in
creases which went into tentative
effect on its passage.
Federal Judge Hooks ruling
in the Missouri, Oklahoma AM
Gulf Railroad test case enjoiniE&
enforcement Of the Adomson ac
and holding it "unconstitutiona]
null and void" was reversed.

not the only benefit these farmers
have received; most of them,
through the agents influence,
have put into practice improved
farming methods that Will be a
lasting benefit, such as fall plow'
ing, seed selection, crop rotations

strumental in creating interest IN
the growing of the smaller crops
throughout the state, such as
lespedeza, the clovers, Vetch' sor.
ghum, cowpeas, soy beans, Vslvet
beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes
Irish potatoes, fruits and vegeta-
bles. They have given lnstruo-
ton in soil inoculation, terrac'ng,
preventing or treating animal ana
plant diseases, spraying orchards
and various other problems that
confront the farmer. Their in
fluence has brought about much
Improvement in the grade OF live
stock in the parishes S where they
are employed; large numbers OF
pure bred animals for breeding
purposes having been purchased
by farmers upon the agents rec
concentrations. Other activities
Of the agents have to do with the
