Hooker. The FERA’s Record In order that the public may know what it fe doing, the state FERA organization main- tains a publicity section. It is a reporting service which the newspapers should and do ap- preciate because it keeps them advised of hap- penings in the state’s biggest business. From press releases by this organization are gleaned the following facts: 1. Cash disbursed by the federal gov- ernment for relief from Oct. 1, 1933, to Oct. 1, 1934, totaled $13,785,077.45. In the last 12 months it was $14,711,335.25. Cost of distributing the money was 5.36 per cent of the total. 2. In 1984, more than 7,000 tons of food and 1,000 MILES of cotton goods were distributed with less than 2% per cent spoilage. The value of these and other commodities was $1,254,277.42. 8. Surplus grain shipped into this state is valued at $2,300,000. Practically all of it was distributed free. Putting all of these things together, we find that the FERA has done in two years about as much business as the entire state govern- ment does in 10. The FERA probably could be improved but on a comparative basis it has nothing to »e ashamed of. Yield and Farm Profits How production as well as price enters into the prosperity of North Dakota agriculture is graphically proved by figures compiled by the state railroad board. They show that the average yield for the last five with an average of 10.2 for the last 20 years. AND THE 90-YEAR AVERAGE IS REDUCED BY THE POOR CROPS OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS. For the last 10 years the average is 9.7 bushels, an- other demonstration of how our production has slipped gince the beginning of the disastrous thirties, A comparison of the highest and lowest yields for fhe last two decades, by five-year periods, together with fhe average price paid, sheds further light on the sub- ‘The year 1915 saw a yield of 182 bushels per acre and @he average price was $1.2914. That was real prosperity. ™ 1924 the yield was 15.7 bushels per acre and the price was $1.20's. We were doing pretty well then, too, ‘The best yield in the decade from 1925 to 1929, inclu- Give, was 14.4 bushels in 1928 and the price was $1.40's. We were keeping cool with Coolidge then. We could afford to, But the best yield in the last five years was only 11 bushels in 1930 and the price was 97 cents, Our all-time low, from the standpoint of money value, was reached fm 1931, when an average yield of 6.4 bushels an acre was ‘The average money value per acre for the last five years, as compared with the preceding five proves what has happened to us. Here it is, based on the yield and price averages as compiled by the state railroad board: 1925 618.778 1930 610.67 1926 12.44 1931 4.656 1937 1141 1982 6.423 1934 5.708 ‘The net yield was even smaller than the figures i-4i- cate, for these are terminal market prices and the cost of freight and handling had to be deducted. Also, the prices are average for the year, not those prevailing at market time when many farmers sold their meager crops. ‘The figures emphasize the importance of the yield factor in farm profits, Thus the 10-year peak of $20.17 was obtained with the best crop in the period, though the price received was exceeded in two other years. of price trends during the war years also ‘The greatest money yield per acre ‘average of 13 bushels per acre s0'i ‘This was nearly $6 more per when 9 bushels per acre sold for $2.56% a bushel for @ total of $23.05.

British arms and munitions are selling like hot cakes. They have been and are one of the most important fac- tors in the British upturn. And the advantages gained are not likely to be lost, at least for a long time. Nye’s proceedings are approved by the organized pacifism that wants the American nation to be without It is approved by the professional radicals who hate any solvent business enterprise. But the men and women who earn their livelihood as em- ployes in the American industry which Nye is trying to abolish, and thousands of investors in it, will not give him the applause he is after. North Dakota, which sends Nye to the senate, is not troubled with these considera- tions, No doubt its people think themselves so far away from any possible fighting front that they can afford to ignore not only the interest of employes and investors in the munitions industry but also the prospect that in case of war our fleet and our army will be short in sup- in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER Dropping of Belcher Case Is Smart Move, But Some NRA Attorneys Look Silly ...

The Belcher case, involving violation of wage and hour provisions under the lumber code which defense lawyers insisted were illegal along with the code itself, was due to be argued by Reed before the high court. NRA and Justice Department lawyers had nursed it tenderly, speeding it along for what they fondly hoped would be the most complete vindication of the New Deal Reed took a good look at the case and said: “Hell, . the almost incredible extreme of permitting a code auth- ority consisting of private individuals to allocate produc- 8 | QA Circumstances of the retreat are almost, though per-} | ai haps not quite, as ridiculous as the incident appears on E fl § TEE alti bl de fi 4g Hi tb ent in the wuts every other kind of milk, cheese and eggs replace atria oa Grery dand beans, string or dried or its or lima or what ‘and always valuable in The lumber code goes to meen salt, either the or the chloride or calcium gluconate, is given as medicine, perhaps ten grains dissolved in water and taken some fruit flavored syrup after tion among lumber manufacturers with no provision for Reed felt—and he was supported by Prof. Felix Frankfurter, chief apostle of Brandeis—that Brandeis would rip the code to shreds with a roar that might NRA lawyers, who fought bitterly against aban- donment of the case, had assumed the court would bet nice enough to confine itself solely to the question of But it was recalled that the court had decided the recent oil case on a point which had never been raised and that one illegal provision in a code might be used to throw the whole thing out. cee LOOK AND FEEL SILLY At least one high NRA official refers to the lumber code privately as “our filthiest, lousiest code.” Big fel- lows in the industry have been permitted to do the al- locating and many serious abuses have been reported to NRA. The code is going to be changed. Previous buildup and ballyhoo of the Belcher case as NRA's “perfect test case” are what make the whole And silly is exactly the way quite a few NRA people are feeling. Chances are, however that the inevitably bad effect on code compliance will be largely offset by a new and apparently sincere drive for enforcement. .
