Agricultural College, N. D., July
15.-North Dakota's grain grading
law is still in force. and will be in
force until the courts declare it in
operative. Altho the Circuit Court of
Appeals declared the law unconstitu-

to be heard in higher courts and no
decision has as yet definitely checked
its operation, w. G.. Palmer, chief
grain inspector told members of the
Grainmen's Union at their conference
called here few days age.
An appeal has been taken to the
United States Supreme Court in re-
gard to the states grading law" Mr..
Palmer said, "and there has been
no decision stating whether or not
this step will act as a stay. If,it is
decided that it does not act as a
stay, then the grain grading law
stands as ifnothing had happened.
Only in case a stay ir not granted
will the law become imperative.

II am sending you under separate

"As it now stands think we have
about 1900 names sent in and be.
|lieve that we will get at least SOC
more which will not be doing toe
badly.
T Among the late reports at the state
headquarters is one from a near New
England in Hettinger county which
gave O'Connor six votes; the recall
petitions got 80 signatures; town
ship in Steele where O'Connor re-
ceived two votes has SO far furnished
eighteen names to the recall petitions
and all the voters in the precinct have
not been approached yet. A town
ship in Dunn county where O'Connor
got less than half a dozen votes
the recall petitions show 81 sigma
lures. In more than nine hundred
signatures recorded at the headquar-
ters. last Saturday no rural precinct
showed less signatures than the num-
bef of votes for O'Connor last fall.
AT the rate that signed petitions
are being received at state head
Quarters daily it is evident that the
twenty thousand signatures that
were reported on recall petitions that
were held back when the laws petit
tions were sent in will be in state
headquarters before the end of this
month. This, together with the 49,
O81 signatures that were sent in
previously, makes total Of, IS, 900
leaving only fifteen thousand more
to be had in order to reach the SO,-
900 mark. 3. .s
The number of calls for petitions
from people who volunteer to cir
culate them in communities where
none have been circulated up to this
time indicates that the number of
signatures required for the recall
election will be, recorded at state
headquarters as the result of last
weeks call to speed up the work and
finish the job.

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn as II
Does Not Make Harvesting a
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators OF the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean in
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three-fourths of
those reporting consider the bean
market success, and over half of them
believe II to be superior to any other
variety, everything taken Into con-
sideration. Two uses OF the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. First, is its use in corn,
where It's nontwining habit is very
desirable. as II does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult
as do the twining varieties. Second.
Il is found Ideal as cover and greer
manure crop I'm citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer
tllizer bill for citrus orchards.
