CROP OF TIMOTHY SEED
SEEMS CERTAIN PROFIT

A farmer in writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture
asked for an opinion as to whether
his profits will be greater from a
crop of timothy hay or a crop of
timothy seed.
DR.. Adrian J. PieteTs, of the For
age Crops Division says that while
no one can see into the future, tins
othy seed IS almost certain to have
a sure, high cash value. This spring
there was an estimated shortage of
about 33.OOO,0OO pounds. Supplies of
neither timothy hay nor timothy
seed are equal to the demand.
Other hays. especially annual
plants such as Sudan grass and soy
beans, may appear in quantities this
year if conditions are favorable, and
can substitute for timothy. But there
is no way TO make up the shortage
of timothy seed. except with timothy
seed-grown in this country. I'm
ported seed is not so we'll adapted to
conditions here as that grown in
this country. Most of it comes from
the northern European countries
where the days are longer and the
nights shorter than in most of the
timothy States.
The farmer who decides to har-
vest his timothy as seed still has a
lot of valuable feed left in the timo-
thy straw remaining. That is an
other reason why DR.. Pieters favcTs
harvesting a crop of timothy seed
this year, rather than as hay, other
conditions being equal.

ways saying mo" And it's worse
to scare the child. Probably the
sensible move is to get acquainted
with the swimming hole. Enlist
the aid Of other parents. Call upon
the health department TO test a
sample of the water. There may
be other departments that will help
you rid the bottom of old tin cans,
broken glass, and rocks. If not
organize a group Of fathers to
tackle the job. But if the hole
can't be made healthful and safe,
petition the police or town council
to close it.
There are many instances where
that cole swimmin' hole" has been
transformed into a place Of beauty
and a cause of community pride.
Some of the worst places are now
public parks where the whole FAM
lily may enjoy a daily frolic in the
water and a picnic supper. No
one believes it can be done, until
they try It. Many believe there is
no such place near their town, un-
til they look around. The effort

COURT CONSIDERS
.-.V|TAL DECISIONS
A. A. A., T. v. and Bank
head Acts Weighed Pre-
Iiminary to Rulings.

Blythe Associated Press.
The nine justices of the Supreme
Court assembled in their conference
room today to debate decisions in four
attacks on the constitutionahty Of
New Deal legislation.
In this regular Saturday discussion
Of cases on which arguments have
been completed, the court may make
I'D its mind on the validity Of the
Tennessee Valley Authority act. the
agricultural adjustment act, and its
amendments, and the Bankhead cot
ton control act.
However, the proceedings are strict
" private, and no announcement was
expected before January 6 at the ear
liest. At the Saturday conferences
the court merely attempts to agree on
q decision. If decision is reached a
Justice is chosen to put the opinion
into writing later.
T. v. A. Arguments End.
Arguments on the question whether
the Government can go into the elec-
trio. power business in connection with
the vast Tennessee Valley develop
ment were concluded yesterday after
noon. James M Beck, former solicitor
general branded T. V. A. as ''revolu-
tionary" and "socialistic," while So
lcitor General Stanley Reed replied
that it was wholly within the Consti-
tuition.
Among other things. the Govern
ment contends Muscle Shoals was
designed primarily as an aid to navi-
CATION and that the sale of power Is
incidental to this main purpose. Reed
has admitted the law would be un-
constitutional If the generation OF
power was the primary purpose.
Among business considered likely
to be considered today were petitions
from the Government and the Carter
Coal Co. for ruling on the Guffey
act. This law seeks to regulate the
bituminous coal industry by applying
q prohibitive tax on coal mined by
concerns which do not abide by code
regulations.
The District Supreme Court held
the acts price-fiXing provisions con-
stitutional, but ruled out sections ap-
plying to wages and hours.
May Combine Suits.
Nineteen Kentucky coal concerns
also have carried to the high court
an appeal from Guffey case decision
in a Kentucky Federal district court
This bench held the act valid. The
Government indicates it is willing to
have the Kentuckians join the Carter
suit.
Among controversies heading swift
ly toward the Supreme Court is one
involving the Wagner labor disputes
act. In District Supreme Court yes
terday Justice Jesse C. Adkins refused
to grant an injunction asked by the
Gate City Mills of East Point. Ga. and
one of its employees Mrs. Lola Echols.
Arguing that the Wagner act was
unconstitutional because it attempted
to regulate intraState industry and
threatened to destroy Mrs. Echols
freedom of contract, the petitioners
sought an injunction to prevent the
National Labor Relations Board from
holding an election in the plant. The
board had ordered the election to de-
termine whether the United Textile
Workers represented a majority Of
the employees.
While denying the injunction, JUS
tice Adkins granted stay. This sus-
pends the election until the Circuit
Court of Appeals decides the case.
An injunction would have banned the
election.
