/ Milk, butter, and other dairy

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP).
Rising food prices will carry the
price of a AZ cent cut of meat to
so cents by June, Secretary OF
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
predicted yesterday.
He said the cost Of living for
the first half of 1885 would rise
to a point four per cent higher
than it was in the last part of
1884. The average cost of food
will soar II per cent, he added.
By autumn, Wallace said, 1t is
possible that food will be II per
cent more expensive than it was
in 1884, but even with these in
creases department of agriculture
experts figured the price OF food
would be % per cent below what
it was in 1880.
| Wallace expects meat to take
the highest jump-22 per cent
Later in the year it may go up
to 32 per cent taking the price
of a az cent cut to 30 cents.

two Are Held
FOR BURGLARY.
Sheriff Orr Thinks Arrests
Big Step Toward Break
ing up Ring

Merrell Kelley and Arthur Glib
son were arrested Wednesday af-
ternoon by Sheriff NJ. N. Orr on
charges of burglary in connection
with the theft of personal prop
erty from homes IN the Fletcher
and Mountain Home sections.
Sheriff Orr said Kelley had
confessed to entering the home of
Mrs. Norton at Mountain Home
recently, duplicating Gibson in
the robbery; and that efforts will
be made to connect them with
other similar crimes which have
been reported within the last sew
eral weeks.
II believe the arrest of Kelley
and Gibson is a big step toward
breaking up a group of law vlo-
lators in the northern end of the
county, Sheriff Orr said.
The arrests made yesterday re-
suited from the finding of large
quantity of stolen goods at Can
ton, Sheriff Orr said. Much of
the property was taken to Ashe-
vile by a deputy sheriff, and
there a part of it was identified
as having come from the Norton
home. Sheriff Orr said he was
told in Asheville that Kelley and
Gibson were believed to have
stolen the property and sold it
in Haywood county, and when
they were accused Kelley is said
to have admitted guilt. The two
men, each about % years old, are
in the Henderson county jail.

new DEAL WILL
APPEAL THIRD
BIG REVERSAL
achievement Decision
on Section IA Adds
to Confusion
NRA DEAD UNLESS
EXTENDED in JUNE

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. (UP)
The New Deal will go to the SUI
preme court to defend the consti-
nationality of Section IA of the
National Recovery Act, Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings said
last night.
Federal Judge John P. Nields
ruled against the federal govern
ment in Wilmington, Del, yester-
day when he decided that Section
lathe clause in the Recovery
Act that guarantees labor the
right to bargain with employers
through representatives of it's own
choosing-was unconstitutional as
applied to the Weirton Steel Co.
Whether this ruling could be
broadened to include concerns en-
gagged in interstate commerce is
a question that fretted New -
lawyers. If so, Judge Nields
dealt a Furnishing blow to SEQ
IA and to the entire Reco1
Act. Since he promised his d
ion on the belief that the Well
company was not engaged in
ter-state commerce, the real
port of his verdict will not
known until the case is carried
the supreme court.
Until the supreme court rule 3
all firms engaged in strict lntr
state commerce-business with
the boundaries of a single state
are released from the provision
of Section IA.
President Roosevelt is pressing
for legislation that would renew
NRA for two years. The Weirton
case, added to two others already
on the supreme court docket,
throws the question of this legls-
lation into confusion. All three of
these cases involve the Recovery
Act.
Next week the supreme court
will hear arguments on the Spiel
man Motor company case. That
involves the fair competition Sec
ton of MIRA. The government
contends that the company allowed
more trade-in value for a used au-
tomobile than the code permits,
and won it's case in the lower
courts.
In April the supreme court gets
the Belcher Lumber company case
in which Federal Judge w. /.
Grub of Birmingham ruled that
the NRA had no right to impose
minimum wages and maximum
hours under the lumber code.
Thus the three vital tenets OF
and wages. fair COM
petition and labor's right to bar
gain-are in the balance at this
critical stage of NRA's existence.
Cummings is confident ne can
obtain a reversal of Judge Nields'
opinion, and will do everything
possible, he said, to hurry the
Weirton case to the supreme
court.
Should the supreme court up
hold Judge Nields, labor would

HIS PRESTIGE
WANING, MUST.
ACT AT once
Indications Now Are F. R.
Will Lose Fight on
Soldier Bonus
RETREAT ON RELIEF
WOULD BE INEVITABLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt's aides today
predicted he would act within "a
hours to break the deadlock over
the relief bill.
The Presidents legislative pres
tige is fading so rapidly that he
must soon confront the necessity
of establishing a working control
of congress or sacrifice the most
of his reform program to an early
adjournment.
Democratic leaders will prob
ably lose the bonus fight and in
evitably have to retreat on the
work relief bill issue. The Presi-
dent also faces a rebellion in or
gained labor.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt returned to-
day from several days stay at
Hyde Park to take personal
charge of the most critical legis-
lative jam encountered during his
two years in office.
With the congressional program
brought to a stop by the deadlock
over the work relief bill, the pres
ident faced the necessity of TAX
ing vigorous action to restore
control over the restless insurgent
senate.
MIRA extension delays are also
threatened. The social security
program is delayed. Besides these
Roosevelt must overcome situa-
tions created by the adverse IVA
ruling in Birmingham and the adj
verse MIRA ruling at Wilmington.
New Deal supporters have chal-
lenged. the validity of these de-
cisions which cut to the heart Of
the constitutional provisions on
which President Roosevelt's re-
eovery program is founded. He
looked to the supreme court for
eventual victory. believing that
this would uphold the challenged
aspects Of recovery laws.
Efforts to reach a compromise
on the prevailing wage amend
ment to the $4.s80, 100000 works
bill before President Roosevelt
returned to the capital apparent
ly had failed but party leaders
still hoped for an early solution
of the bitter controversy.
A series of informal confer
ences were held on Capitol Hill
Wednesday. All avenues to a COM
promise were explored but last
night conferees said no basis of
agreement had been reached.
At the same time, reports
spread there had been a break in
the ranks of proponents of the
amendment that several senator's
who voted for it last week had
yielded to pressure to support the
administration.
These reports were quickly de-
MED by Senator Pat McCarran:
Democrat, of Nevada, author OF
the amendment, as he departed
from a conference with Senators
Edward Costigan, Democrat, Of
Colorado. Robert Lafollette;
Progressive, of Wisconsin, and
Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, OF
New York.
"There has been no break, nc
told the United Press. Our lines
are intact"
He declined, as did other cor
ferees, to discuss what had trans
pired. 1t was agreed however,
that every effort should be made
to narrow the breach with the

SunflOWers May Be
Grown for Ensilage

Although sunflowers are not equal
to corn as an er,silage crop, stockmen
may find 1t profitable to grow sun
flowers for that purpose. In the opin-
ion Of r. w. Christensen, Of the live
stock feeding section Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
Farmers. who have reduced their
corn acreages In accordance with the
corn-hog program, may grow sun
flowers as . substitute crop without
restriction. In some feeding trials
sunflowers were not eaten as well as
corn silage but they may well be
grown to provide additional feed.
Sweet clover Is another crop that
makes a satisfactory silage. It Is
somewhat less appetizing than corn
silage to livestock but after they have
become accustomed to 1t they will eat
lit readily. Experimental results Sc
cured by the state experiment station
show clearly that good sweet clover
s:!age fed properly to fattening cattle
may have . feeding value equal or
nearly equal to corn.
"A point In favor Of sweet clover

according to Christensen, lis its high
protein content. This makes possible

Is linseed meal, gluten feed or cot
tonseed meal"
Well made sweet clover silage pro-
perly fed Is also valuable and salts

Either sunflowers or sweet clover
will provide an abundance Of excel
lent feed for North Dakota farmers
who have reduced their corn acreages
but who need silage for their stock.
