of labor was brought to America
when we know those things we can
see how much progress we have
made.
But that progress has been due
wholly to the fact that workingmen
have begun to have class conscious
ness, although it is true that as yet
many are still conscious of self, but
the sense of brotherhood is growing;
many people are thinking and study
ing how to remedy the system; there
is an increasingly large number Of
people who cannot be happy if others
are unhappy, and since our studies
show us that in trades-unionism and
socialism we have the two greatest
forces which can bring about new
system, we shall look to those forces
to accomplish the change.
The benevolent reforms proposed
by capitalism will not suffice; there
is no longer a vast amount of land
upon which dissatisfied people may
settle; there is today hardly any
choice for any one except to stay
right where he is and accept what
ever wage is offered him and any
kind of work, too often no work, and
it is this which is slavery which is
felt. Neither the Republican nor the
Democratic party offers any real re-
lief. If there were a labor party, as
there doubtless will be soon, we could
vote there, but as it is, we can only
register our protest against the pres
ent system through the Socialist
party, and believe as many as can
see their way to do so should vote the
Socialist ticket and place as many
members in Office as possible.-Nel-
lie N. Baldwin, 6622 St. Lawrence.

Two men can do an acre and half a

tons but an acre is a good average
days work.
In case there is no change in the
subsoil layer up to a depth of six feet,
think it does not pay TO try to
break up the soil to this depth for
ordinary work. In such cases the
dynamite should be placed in three to
four feet holes. fifteen feet apart and
exploded. This will give at least three
feet six inches to four feet six inches
of loose subsoil which is sufficient for
practically all purposes. II the soil
is naturally deep and fertile and has
no hard subsoil it will still pay to
dynamite the place where trees are
to be set. However it is not neces-
sary in this case to subsoil the entire
field.-William p. Stark.

Using Dynimite to subsOiI.

Some land owners have dynamited
or subsoiled entire fields for general
farming. Under certain conditions it
is profitable. Following is the method
used: Having located the hettom of
the tight subsoil layer, holes are
punched either with steel bar or
bored with auger to within six inches
of the bottom of the layer. These
holes should be spaced in squares
fifteen feet apart for every three feet
of depth; thus a six foot hole would
call for charges spaced thirty feet
apart while a nine foot hole would re-
quire charges forty-five feet apart
The deeper the charge is placed the
further apart the holes are set and the
greater the amount OF dynamite neces-
sary.
The amount is determined by the
depth of the hole. approximately one
fourth pound of Red Cross Extra Dyna-
mite being put in for every three feet
of depth. Thus a three foot hole
would require one-fourth pound or half
a stick. A six foot hole would take
half n pound OF dynamite or one stick
The ground should be absolutely dry
and therefore the best time to do II
is in the fall after the crops are off.
The holes for this work should be
tamped with soft clay or sand. The
acre cost with the holes fifteen feet
apart and three feet deep averages

Morton Alexander.-The govern
ment of Canada took steps to break
the strangle hold of the wheat specu-
lators and the milling trust on the
threats of the farmers by issuing an
order for the purchase of a million
bushels of wheat by the government
and thus fixing the price. Is it not
about time that the government of
the United States realized the neces-
sity of doing something of this kind
for our farmers? Every farmer in the
western states today who has bushel
of wheat to sell is at the absolute
mercy of the milling trust, must take
the price the trust offers or nothing
even though it is actually less than
the cost of production. The farmer
has no recourse. With the great mar
ket created by the European war,
wheat prices in the United States
should now be higher than for many
years-yet the spectators are holding
the price down below that of last year
and the farmers are buncoed out of
millions of dollars by the manipula-
tions of the grain trust.
