FEW FARMERS ARE HARVESTING WHEAT Some Spots Near Menoken Yield Chicken Feed; Ashley Man Reports to Tribune Local showers which fell in this nd other areas have made it pos- sible for a few farmers to get a little grain from their parched fields, ac- cording to reports received by The ‘Tribune from its subscribers and cor- dents. The Tribune's Menoken correspond- ent says some farmers in that area are cutting a few small spots in their fields which promise to yield a few bushels of chicken feed. Whatever wheat matured, however, was said to have better kernels than wheat har- vested last year. Joe Chesak, nine miles southeast of Bismarck, has a 100-acre plot of wheat that may average six or seven bushels of lightweight grain. Chesak planted two varieties, Ceres and Marquis. The stand of Marquis is far superior to the Ceres. The Marquis, about 30 acres, stands from 24 to 30 inches tall with well filled heads. Other parts of the field are short with small heads and shriveled grain. Fred Heinz, living three miles} northeast of Ashley, headed 16 acres of wheat last Thursday and Friday and threshed it. He enclosed a sample of the grain which showed it to be very light and hardly of milling qual- ity. The grain was so short that he had the header on the ground while cut- ting, Heinz said.

D., July 15.—(#)—Declar- ing the eighth circuit court of appeals already has declared the amended Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage mora- torlum act unconstitutional, Judge Andrew Miller said he had: no choice but to grant motions for dismissal of 10 actions before him in federal court here. William Lemke, Union party. pres- idential candidate and co-author of the Frasier-Lemke act, a behalf of the defendants and in de- fense of the act, argued that the act does nothing more than that which the federal courts have done many times in regular bankruptcy proce- dure. “There is only one new tl that the Frasier-Lemke act does,” said. “Under the regular ‘bankruptcy procedure, it is within the discretion of the court to grant the mortgagor time in which to redeem his property and often this period runs as high as three years. The Frasier-Lemke bill merely makes this provision manda- tory instead of discretionary. Cites Similarities “Under provisions of the Frazier- Lemke act property is under juris- diction of the courts the same as in regular bankruptcy proceedings. Con- ciliators are in fact nothing more than receivers who will act under the jurisdiction of the court. “If property involved is being dissi- pated. or wasted or if the mortgagor fails to pay the rents, it is within the power of the court to dismiss the ac- tion and order the property sold.” Lemke pointed out that there is a vast difference of opinion among courts regarding the constitutionality of the act. The fifth circuit court of appeals has held the law is con- ‘Stitutional and 12 district courts have upheld it, he said, while two circuit courts and 10 district courts have held against it. In making his ruling, Judge Miller iy “The question of the constitution- ality is not before this court because that question already has been decided by the eighth circuit court of appeals. Should I decide to rule against the circuit court I would be guilty of in- subordination and I do not intend to do that. There is only one thing for me to do and’ that is to sustain the petitioners in their motion for dis- missal and the motions are granted.” At the request of Lemke, Judge Mil- ler added the provision to his order that if the supreme court should up- hold the constitutionality of the Fraz- fer-Lemke act that all of the cases would automatically be reinstated without cost to the creditors. Plaintiffs in the actions before the court were the Federal Land bank of St. Paul, the Regional Agricultural Credit corporation, and the Inter- mediate Credit corporation.
