Guffey Bill Affects ‘Tax of 224%, Cents Per Ton Placed .on Fuel Under Little NRA Act North Dakota lignite mine, opera- tors will pay a tax of approximately i 22% cents per ton under the Guffey { bill unless the operators come under i the code provision, EM. Hendricks, | acting deputy of district 21 of the j National Bituminous Coal Commis. sion, said Tuesday. He pointed out, however, that al- though Federal Judge Hamilton has/| held the conservation act of 1935 con- stitutional, that many coal operators are awaiting a final decision by the court, i npor kota: General yee treme southeas!

Judge Hamilton left these companies free to operate without penalty, on equal terms with submis- sive companies, until the constitu- tional issue is settled on appeal. They will not have to pay the 13% per cent q output tax imposed on defiant opera- tors, but only the 114 per cent levied on all companies — and that to the court and not to the government. “The lignite mining areas of North and South Dakota are district 21 un- } der the coal act and produce annually in excess of two million tons of lig- nite. To date, however, only a few of the smaller operators have signed the i code and these have not organized a district board, marketing agency, sta-| tistical bureau or other agency re- quired by the code, apparently awaiting, along with those who have not signed the code, the final test of constitutionality in the supreme court q of the United States. In event the i act is sustained the 15 per cent tax will have to be paid. “The current maximum price on i, , lump lignite at the mine is $1.50 per q net ton and 1° per cent of this amounts to 22%c," Hopkins Calls Critics Of Relief ‘Malicious’ Washington, Nov. 19.—(#)—Harry 4‘.

The average farm is worth $6,912 this year as compared with $11,792 in 1930, while the average value per acre is $11.86, or nearly $7 less Crop failures, which jumped: from 21,846 acres in 1930 to 179,527 in 1934 ‘as @ result of the drouth, were chiefly’ responsible for the declines in farm acreages, values and returns, Tenant Farmets Increase Farms operated in the county in- creased from 1,338 in 1930 to 1,406 in 1934, but of this number 99 more farms were operated by tenants this year. Tenants numbered 611, part) owners, 497, full owners 291 and managers seven. The total of all land in the county available for crops was figured at 423,020: as compared with 512,014 in 1930, and crops were harvestéd from only 120,401 acres instead of 402,606. Part of the idle land was contracted under the agricultural production con- trol program and much of it was un- fit for use because of the drouth. Woodland pasture increased from 4,565 in 1930 to 8,329 in 1934 because of the ‘scarcity of feed and the need for util- izing every available pasture land. This and the fact that a consid- erable acreage of small grains and Russian thistles were cut for hay were responsible for a smaller de- cline of hay and sorghum acreages than in the other crops. Failures Exceed Harvested Acres For each acre of crop land har- Trop further cut ‘because of the low yields in 1934. The wheat yield was two bushels per acre, barley three, ,rye one and oats five. The production of small grains fell to approximately five per cént of the 1929 production in the case of wheat, and to less than one per cent fer rye and ¢lax, the report shows. Only 64 bushels of flax from 113 acres were produced in 1934 as compared with 58,687 in 1929 from 23,437 acres, Crops harvested, excluding fruits and vegetables, included wheat 59,492 bu.; oats 4,303 bu.; barley 10,207 bu.; Tye 1,382 bu.; mixed grains 578 bu.; flax 64 bu.; potatoes 8,794 bu.; hay and sorghums for forage 22,678 tons, and corn none, , The average acreage of Burleigh county farms is 582.6 acres as com- pared with 640.5 of 1930, This Week’s SPECIAL | Storm Window Glass 12x28 (single strength) 12x30 (single strength) 24x26 (single strength) 24x34 (single strength) 24x26 (double strength) . 24x28 (double strength) .
