be done quickly and without advance

farmers, whose crops are worth more
than those of all the New England
States combined, are spending ap-
proximately $2O,0O0,OOO year for fer
tilizers, it was revealed in a study Of
Department of Agriculture figures.
During the past year the raisers Of
tobacco, cotton, corn, and the other
agricultural products of this State,
used approximately 100000 tons of
commercial fertilizers which, valued
at an average Of $40 ton, represent
ed the figure stated above. Thus,
amounts to more than the value of all
crops in some of the smaller States.
But for the protecting restrictions
thrown around these vegetation-pro-
ducing materials for which North
Carolina farmers spend such an en-
ormous sums annually, tillers of the
soil would have no guarantee that
they were making sound investments.
But the State Department of Agri-
culture, in it's well equipped labora-
tories at Raleigh, less than 80 miles
from Chapel Hill, where the American
Chemical Society is meeting this
week, analyses thousands of samples
of fertilizers each year. This furnishes

LAWS ARE NEEDED
Congressman Pettengill, of
Indiana Takes Fling
at Court Critics

Washington, April 16-Declaring
that what 1--WE need is an old-fashion-
ed Congress more than a new-fash-
toned Court" Democratic Congress
man Samuel B. Pettengill of Indiana
made the following comment as to
Supreme Court decisions of last Mon
day
Congressman Pettengill's statement
follows in full.
Mondays decisions by the Supreme
Court show that if Congress and State
legislatures were to use the same care
in drafting bills as they expect courts
to use in Interpreting them, very few
acts would be declared unconstitu-
tional.
"The original Frazier-Lemke bill
was declared unconstitutional A new
act carefully drawn to meet the OBJ
Jections of the court was held consti-
tutional Both decisions were unani-
nous and the decision in each case
was written by Justice Brandies. This
answers the charge that the court is
deliberately bent on blocking leg;s-
lation.
ut is unfair to the court and to the
oIoDAlACy VI uCIuOCfdCy TO make the
court the residuary legatee of sloppy,
nalfbaked bill writing. If the coun-
Try knew the way things have been
done they would place the blame
where it originated
'The experienced men in the legis-
.atlve drafting service have been push
I'd aside; their advice disregarded, and
attempts to have the constitutional
door locked by seasoned lawyers be-
lore the horse was stolen have been
2ooh-poohed by sophomorcs intent on
,nstructing Chief Justice Hughes and
lis associates on the law.
1t is time to stop blaming the court
or the mistakes of amateurs The
cal conflict has not been between the
court and Congress. 1t has been be-
tween the Court and down town bill
writer's who have no responsibility as
legislators and who never carried a
precinct. It is time for Congress to
-eassert its Constitutional function
and insist that its scores of seasoned
lawyers do what the people sent them
here to do.
1--WE need an old-fashioned Congress
