FARMS FOR EX-.
SERVICE men
222 Farms Available on September
9Th; on North Platte Project Lands.

On September 9th, 222 farms will
be opened to homestead entry by sol
diers of the World War, on the
North Platte Irrigation Project, Wy
oming, and one week later, Septem-
Der 10th, 81 farms will be thrown
open under the Shoshone Project in
the same state. About $4,000 acres
Of land are included in the two OPP
enings. For sixty days no one but
soldiers of the World War will be
permitted to make filings on these
farms.
NORTH PLATTE PROJECT LANDS
A decade ago the lands now includ-
ed in the North Platte project were a
vast range occupied by nomadic herds
Of cattle, but National reclamation
has wrought "a marvellous change in
that section. The landscape is now
dotted with hundreds Of prosperous
farm homes, and a hundred thousand
acres are producing valuable crops OF
alfalfa, sugar beets, corn and pota-
toes. Numerous towns have been es-
tablished and railroads have extended
their branches to connect the valley
with the country's great markets.
Dairying has become profitable in
dustry. More than $4,500,0O0 worth
Iof crops were produced on the pro-
iect in 1920.
Shoshone Project Lands.
The Shoshone project, in the north
western part of the state, lies in a
region Of great scenic beauty, and has
ia delightful and healthful climate and
fertile soil. Like the North Platte
project it has transformed the desert

Chinese Slaves Wanted

The attempt to legalize the impor-
tation of Chinese into Hawaii reminds
us again of how much our most COM
money! praised principles Of govern
ment and society depend on organic
ed farmers.
Every one Of our Fourth Of July
orators will boast Of how America has
made forced labor thing Of the past.
There is plenty Of it, Of course, IN
our South under the disguise OF work
ing out debts, and organized labor
alone carries on the fight against it.
And this plan for forced labor for
Hawaiian sugar barns finds no oppo-
sition from other walks Of life.
It is forced labor because, as was

county, Mont, the county in which
Butte IS located, evidently knows
more about handling Ku Klux Khan
people than our governor and sheriffs
in Minnesota or other states further
east know. Perhaps the fact that he
was elected by organized labor and
the Nonpartisan league accounts for
his unusual grasp of things.
Those who were organizing q Ku
Klux Khan for the Anaconda Copper
company and other similar interests
around Butte, decided that it might
be we'll to sound out the sheriff be-
fore proceeding too far. They knew
what ordinary people sometimes over
look, namely, that violence can not
get by without the connivance Of duly
constituted officers Of the law.
The sheriff declared that If the Klu
Kluxers started any violence they
would be "shot down like wolves. :
Rotten territory, therefore, for Ku
Kuxers; so the organizer pulled out
Of town.
The special interests expect to get
licked at the next election unless they
resort to violence as well as the usual
trickery, and this is the only reason
for building up this secret violence
organization.

DedIucks Takes All

An Iowa farmer has started some
thing which is going the rounds Of
the story tellers and deserves to go
further. After he had sold his corn
he went to the local banker to borrow
some money, and the banker wanted
to know what had become of the pro-
ceeds of the corn crop.
"Deducks got it, replied the farm
er.
"Weil what do you mean by De
ducks? ?"
sWell,' explained the farmer, |
shipped the car to market and sold
it for So cents. Then deduct freight,
that left 81 cents; deduct ! cent COM
mission, that left 80 cents; deduct
elevator charges, that left ~ cents;
deduct husking, that left Is cents; de-
duct hauling, that left 5 cents; de
duct the hired mans wages from that
and you are a darned sight better
farmer than l am if you can find any
thing left"

Farmer York Fails

Sergeant Alvin York, decorated as
Americas great war hero, is about
to lose his farm near Pail Mall, Tenn,
because he can not meet mortgage
of $12, 500 due on it this fall. He also
is unable to pay his grocery bill OF
$3.50.
York married and went back to the
farm when the war was over, and
has worked as hard as man could
to make an honest living in that oc-
cupation- But that part Of the crew
of profteers which presides over
farm markets and with the other pro-
fiteers which provides US with govern
ment makes his hard work to no
purpose. d
York could ttclean up" considerable
money by stake and movie work, but
he has refused up to the present to
do this. He has conscientious objec-
tions to war and does not want to
help exalt the war spirit. He entered
the army as a conscientious Objectol
but was persuaded to put on the uni
form. AS to the record for which he
has received so much praise, he says:
"It was only a pawn that day over
there and any credit that was due
should go to the Lord; for me to at
tempt to take any credit would be to
do great wrong.
And alleged prosperous America
can not provide the conditions to en-
able man Of this type to succeed as
a farmer of his own land. When the
banker takes over this land he will
probably be glad to have York re
1nain ac tenant. York will then
have the advantage Of poor white,
civilization. We wonder if he will
want to fight against to defend these
great advantages" America offers
him!

Cron Report Chasers

The editor Of the Country Press.
Moorhead, Mimi, makes q much
needed criticism of our town business
men in an editorial under the title,
aGive Us Rest on This Crop Report
Stuff" And we think that those Of
them who mean well will take it IN
good part.
Every time farmer comes to town,
says the Press editor, he is assailed
with the question, "How's crops 2"
Every business man seems to be wor-
ried about a possible poor yield Of
wheat or oats.
"What is the use Of all this worry
and talk about big crop? Five
bushels Of wheat to the acre at 81 80
per bushel will go just as far toward
buying suit Of clothes or paying
your note at the banks as 10 bushels
to the acre will at IS cents a bushel.
"God speed the day when our local
business men will pay as much at
tention to the marketing system Of
the farmers products as they are to-
day paying to the large or small crop
reports floating around the country.
Join the farmers in their fight for a
square deal and you will soon make
this a country worth living IN for all
of us"
