The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1921-03-19

The strike itself is If rather
rare character. There is no demand
for higher wages or shorter hours,
it is a strike to strengthen the union
by calling down the unorganized
shops and organizing them. 1t is a
demonstration strike to show the bos-
ses that we are alive, healthy and
able to increase our strength.
This strike has developed leaders
from the rank and file. They have
been very active on all committees
of the strike. They are at the fore
in pulling down shops that failed
to obey the call to strike. They are
using every opportunity to talk to
the workers and rouse them to a
militant understanding of the Glass
Struggle. Whatever aggression and
enthusiasm there is in the strike is
largely due to their untiring effort
to safeguard the interests of the
workers in every way and on every
occasion.
The readers of this paper will re-
member about the struggle for the
shop delegate system form of union
management raised by the militants
of this union and the miserable tricky
behavior of our officials.
The only dark shadows cast on
this strike are due to either their
own ignorance of the class struggle
or their reasonable personal selfish
ness. ts'

Workers Tricked by Officials.

They recognized the contractors
that do the major part of the work
for the manufacturers as independent
concerns. Settled and signed the con-
tracts before they even consulted or
presented same to the rank and file.
This settlement involves the major
part of the workers in the trade. In
spite of all explanations of our slick
officials this action strengthens the
position of the manufacturers because
the work will be done in the con-
tractors shops.
Such a state of affairs could have

BLACK ROT.

| wish to again call attention to the
dangerous disese of BLACKROT. This
disease is as dangerous and distruc-
tive to swwet potatoes as the boil
Wevil is to cotton. There is one sure
way to get rid of this disease and this
way is open to every man who grows
potatoes. The. plan is so simple that
few people believe in it until they try
it, but can assure you from actual
experience that it can be depended up
on. Cut your vines and set them on
land that has never growed sweet
potatoes, at least for the past three
years. When You dig the potatoes
do not use the same tools that you
have dug your other potatoes with,
that the potatoes that were grown
from slips. When the potatoes have
been dug put them in bank or kill,
by them selves. Next Springs don't
bed on land that has been used for
bedding before. If you will follow
these directions you will have potatoe
seed next year that will be free from
Black Rot. Also wish to remind you
that you can safely plant vines until
the first week in August. Your last
planting may not make large potatoes
but they will be large enough for seed.

FEED YOUR PIGS.

Hogs are now bringing 1925 on the
St. Louis market. This is nearly half
as high as they have ever been and
comparatively speaking is much high
er than the price of other farm pro-
ducts. There is lots of corn peas and
a good many peanuts. planted this year
also Soy beans. One of the best ways
to sell these crops is through your
hogs. But you can't have hogs with
out PIGS. Take care of the pigs.
There will be good demand for them
this fall and they will be high. With
the best grade of wheat shorts at
$1.50 per hundred pounds you can
afford to feed your pigs. Keep the
lice off of them and have them, in a
thrifty growing condition when you
get ready to turn them on the fields.

NOTICE TO GENERAL PUBLIC

Up to this time the management
of the Farm Bureau has shown no
preference in it's service between
members and non-members, the Board
pursued this course for two reasons,
The first reason was because of the
depressed finantial condition of the
country. We felt that the Bureau
could render service to people who
really needed help in making this crop
and who could not well afford to spare
ten dollars for membership fee in the
Bureau. The second reason was there
has been many failures in farmers
organizations in the past and we
wished all the people to have a fair
chance to judge the merits of Farm
Bureau system
By the latter part of July the MAX
ing of this crop will have been COM
pleted and this removes our first cause
for running a FREE House. Com
plete reports of the Bureaus activities
published in this paper show that the
Bureau has effected saving to its
patrons Of S2O201.55 besides paying
all its expenses and leaving $205223
in the operating fund. This report
'icovers the first five months of the
Farm Bureaus exhibitence and proves
beyond any and all doubt that the
institution is organized on sound bus
mess principles and its operation can
materially benefit every farmer in
Lafayette County, and this removes
our second reason for continuing our
non-discriminatiag policy.
Therefore, we wish to issue gener-
al notice that beginning August the
LIST, the Bureau management will
make distinction between members
and those who are not members.
We also wish to call your attention
to the fact that, even now. if you
have not ten dollars with which to
pay your membership fee you may
oelii DCCoHlc HiCHlucI ny signing
note for ten dollars, and
you can find these notes at the Farm
Bureau office.

We are planning to make a ship
ment of hogs the. first Friday in

will weigh over hundred pounds it
will probably be good time to ship.
They are usually higher in August and

season of the year. If you wish to
ship be sure to call at the Office or
drop US card and list what you want
to ship.

HOW ABOUT DAIRY BUSINESS

When cream fell from Coo per pound
to 25c per pound many farmers who
were selling cream were ready to
throw up the sponge, turn the cows
and calves together and quit. Now
men don't forget that cotton is four
times as cheap now as it was this time
last year and that corn and sorghum
molasses is almost sure to be the same
way. Chickens, hogs and butter fat
has decreased less in price than any
of our farm products. Butter fat at
25c per pound is much more profitable
than growing cotton at 10c per pound,
corn at SOC per bushel or sorghum
molasses at Csc per gallon. However
butter fat is now over 30c per pound
and indications are that it will go to
40 or 45c this winter. This sounds
good but there will be no profit in
producing cream at this price if you
have to buy your feed Cotton seed.
will be scarce and cotton seed meal
will be high. A few of our dairymen
planted vc,vet Beans but most of them
did not. Now men if you have not
planted plenty of dairy feed you had
better get buey. Your lespedeser crop
is going to be short and you only have
a few more days to plant any kind of
dairy feed You have about 10 more
days in which to plant, peas and pea
nuts and sorghum planted on good
bottom land may still have time to
make good quality of hay. Sweet
potatoes makes an excellent cow feed
and you have about three weeks longer
to set potato vines and | wish to urge
and plead with you to take advantage
of this last opportunity. Plant pea
nuts or peas in your cotton skips if
you have not yet made up your mind
that it would pay you to pillow the cot
ton up. Twenty five cents will buy as
much in most cases now as dollar
would buy at this time last year and
keep your eye on your hogs, chickens
and your milk COW.
