Fof agriculture and labor Farmers
have gone in unusually strong for rye.
1t is q popular crop for several rea-
Sons" said Mr. Hagan. 1T spreads
the harvest over a longer period and
does not make such a great demand
for labor at season of the year
when it always is short, and when it
probably will be unusually so next
year. There is practically as much
money in it as there is in wheat, and
it has been an exceptionally certain
crop of recent years. There is already
seeded fully twice as many acres of
rye as we harvested this year. l do
not believe that the fact that many
North Dakota wheat farmers will de-
vote their attention largely to rye next
year will work any hardship. There's
no question as to the food values Of
rye. and it will do all of us good II
we learn to eat more corn and rye

LIVESTOCK PRICES
NOT TO Be SLICED
State Food Administrator Declares
Government Recognizes Need
. t. Il
of Good Pay

Fargo, n. D., Oct 22.-"There is alb
solutely no foundation in fact for the
report that the food administration
cOntemplates any action which would
force down the price of livestock
said Dr. E. F. Laid, federal food adj
ministratOr, in an interview here to-
day.
Such report is being circulated
in some parts of the country. The
government knowns that, with the
prevailing prices for corn, the man
who raises livestock is not getting an
excessive price. 1t is the desire of
the government to stimulate produc-
ton Of live stool, and no action will
be taken to jeopardize that industry.
1T is also being whispered about
in North Dakota, as elsewhere in the
nation, that the government conten
plates the seizure of food in the homes
of the people. People have been told
that they must hide their preserved
and canned fruits and vegetables be-
cause the government is liable to con-
fiscate all or part OF it. The fear of
losing their small store is very real
to some, especially among foreigners
1.-The government of course does not
contemplate any such action. 1t is !
purely visionary idea, and the press |
and all patriotic citizens should do
what they con to counterfeit the effect |
and to reassure all citizens. The chief
desire Of the United States govern
ment is to see all American citizens
we'll supplied with nourishing' food.
Signing the food pledge does not mean
that the signer or his or her family is
asked to eat less than they require.
They are asked to substitute nourish-
ing vegetables which we have in
abundance, for small part of the
highly concentrated foods that may be
shipped easily to our allies.

tain considerable phosphoric acid, low

important physical effects upon the
soil also. The present war prices for
carbonate of potash take it out Of the
list Of fertilizer materials. 1t is this
carbonate Of potash only that makes
hardwood ashes SO very valuable at
the present time All ashes that have

 There may be some discussion of the

 Applause from the floor and the gal leries greeted Representative Heflin' s demand in the house today for con- gressional investigation of the von Bernstorff message to determine if any members of either house had received
 German money.
 T do not know to whom the count refers" he said. but I do know that the contents of his message consti- tutes a serious reflection upon congress and should be investigated. If permit ted, I could name thirteen or fourteen men in the two bodies who have acted suspiciously. If a member has acted ! suspiciously in or out of congress. he ought to be investigated and expelled l if the facts warrant. If any member is not giving his hearty support to the l commander in chief in this time of war. he should be put out of the cap

Austria Also Pleased

AMSTERDAM, Sept 21-Peace would come from the recent propos- als of Pope Benedist if the belliger- ent nations would enter into nego- tiations in the sense of the pontiff S suggestions, Emperor Charles of Austria Hungary says in his reply to the vatican note. The emperor sees in the pOpe's peace plan a suita- ble basis for starting negotiations toward just and lasting peace and expresses the hope that the nations opposing his own may be animated by the same idea. The Austrian em- peror admits that the future arrange ments of the world must be based on the elimination of armed force and on the rule of international jus tice and legality.
 Austria -Hungary's ruler received the pontiffs note with a thankful heart and with an expression of hope that the pontiffs efforts may lead to the realization of the emperor's desire for a lasting and honorable peace for all parties.
 Freedom of the seas is one of the peace hopes of Emperor Charles, in or der that heavy material burdens could be taken from the nations of the earth and new sources of prosperity opened to them.
 The reply, received here in a dispatch from Vienna, was handed to Monsignor T. Valfre di Bonzo the papal nuncio at Vienna, on Thursday. The text of the reply follows:
 Text of the Reply
 Holy Father: With due veneratior and deep emotion, we take cognizance of the new representations your holi- ness, in fullfilment of the holy office entrusted you by God make to us and the heads of the other belligerent states with the noble intention of leading the heavily tried nations to a unity that will restore peace to them
 With a thankful heart we received this fresh gift of fatherly care which you, Holy Father, always bestow on al peoples without distinction, and from the depth of our heart we greet the moving exhortation which your holi- ness had addressed to the governments Of the belligerent people. During this cruel war we have always looked up tc your holiness as to the highest per- sonage who, in virtue of his mission which reaches beyond earthly things and thanks to the high conception ot his duties laid upon him, stands high above the belligerent peoples and who E inaccessible to all influence. was able

Matter of Policy

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-Favor- able replies from both Berlin and Vienna to Pope Benedict's peace pro- p07als wore not unexpected in the United States and the allied coun- tries.
 Whether the action of the pope was influenced by Austria, as has been suggested frequently, the ac- ceptance of his peace plans by the central powers falls in line with the policies of those governments in making their people feel they are waging a purely defensive wareag gainst group of nations bent upon their destruction.
