UNIONS AND TAXES


that the single takers who uphold the
present labor system and attempt to
defend its most notorious and indie
feasible product, the scab, fail to take
into consideration is the fact that
through the efforts of the union men
not only their own condition but the
condition of non-union men as well
is materially benefited. That the pres
ent standard of living is low enough is
lamentably true, but that it is not
lower is due to the gains made by or
ganized labor and won by dint of un-
ending struggle and countless indi-
vidual sacrifices.
The scab, who is not animated by
the spirit of brotherhood and inbred
with the ideals of class consciousness,
who is unwilling to deprive himself of
temporary comforts in order that he
may reap the advantage of perma-
nent victory, is, nevertheless, quite
ready and eager to partake of the
fruits of such victory in the form of
increased wages, fewer hours of labor
and improved sanitary conditions,
after they have been secured by the
union men in the face of his own OPP
position. Such a creature is beneath
contempt.
The Socialism, contradistinction
to the single taxer = condemns the
system that makes possible the scab
and upholds the men who defy the
system. The single taxer, however,
is not to be wholly blamed. He is en-

OVERFLOW CORN LAND

University of Missouri Profess
sOr Advises Farmers to Re
trieve Loss by Planting
Early Maturing Var
ieties.

1890
Despite the fact the recent
heavy rains and high water have
flooded much corn land there is
still time for Missouri farmers to
grow a crop, according to L. F..
Childers, assistant professor of
agronomy at the University of
Missouri.
ut is not too late to plant
corn, of the right varieties
are used" said Mr.. Childers.
Reds Yellow Dent and Iowa
Silver Mine will mature in from
lis to 100 days. If fields can be
replanted by June Is or 20 these
varieties will fit the season."
Mr.. Childers says that the
average date for the first killing
frost in North Missouri is Octo-
Der 10 to Is, and in South Mis-
souri, from October Is to %. He
says it would be a serious mis-
take to plant either a later ma
turing corn or an extremely
early one when there is but
four months in which the corn
can grow.
"Ninety-day corn will on the
average yield 30 per cent less
than Reid's Yellow Dent or Iowa
Silver Mine, so it would not be
advisable to plant that until af-
ter June 20 or later" said Mr..
Childers.
when planting corn under the
present condition it would be a
mistake TO put IT IN deeper than
one and one-half inches. 1t is
best for the disc to precede the
planter, but corn can be planted
without previously discing. In
this case the planter should be
followed with either a disc OF
small-shoveled cultivator to stil
the surface and keep it from
checking. This cultivation will
be necessary because of The
many weed seeds brought to thu
land by the overflow.
