other than execution such as imprisonment

list of important Soviet officials killed in the
course of fighting with antagonists of the
Bolshevist Government There follows a "con-
clusion," which sums up the case as follows.
by decree of the All-Russian Central
Executive Committee Soviet Russia is de-
clared to be military camp in state of
siege. This emphasizes the truth that in
civil war the whole country is one united
front. We have lived all the time as on vol
cano. Counter-revolutionary elements, rein
forced by all the dissatisfied and short-sight-
ed organize militarily and threaten to burst
forth from their illegal positions and over
whelm the Soviet power by raising revolt
If there had not been the Extraordinary
Commissions, detecting and warding off such
endeavors, we should long ago have ceased to
exist. The conference.-the would have
swallowed us.
although at dear price, the price of
blood, we have arrived at the truth that in
civil war there are no superfluous people, and
there is no work which is shameful if it is
done for the aid of the revolution.
"Every citizen should be warrior and
guard Of the Soviet power. Every citizen
shou be Red Army soldier and an assistant

this case shall we conquer"

ORDINARY COMMISSION"
"Eyery state is an apparatus of violence.
"This has always been so, is so, and will
be so while the state as such continues in
general to exist.
'This will end not earlier than classes dis
appear together with the class struggle.
"In society based on classes one class al
ways contests power with the other; the sup
pressed class attempts to escape from its
condition of dependence and to take the place
of the class welding power
therefore class possessing power must
have an apparatus specially adapted for con-
fIict with all forms of discomfort, which blaze
up sometimes in the vivid flames of revolt and
revolution.
"The monarchist government overthIown
by the February revolution Q917) serves as
a clear example of this adaptation for the
conflict with other revolutionary classes.
During it's many years of existence, it
brought this apparatus for conflict with re-
bellion to a state of perfection.
"A giant who has not yet learned his
strength is not dangerous to anyone.
mo one applied this truth better than the
former state All of its energy was directed
to the end of rearing the people in ignorance
"For this end there were at the service Of
the old government the school, the church.
and the barracks
"The programme of the schools and the
text books were all directed to the one purpose
of raising obedient and convinced slaves of the
ruling class.
'The church continued the work of the
schools and up to the door Of the tomb held
firmly within its tenets the spirit of the
many -millioned masses Of the people, pressing
forward toward the light.
"What part of the free spirit remained a.
live after the school and the church, the
barracks killed.
whoever passed through this dual school
became a spiritual invalid, pawn, submis-
sive tool in the hands Of the posSessors of
power.
"The strong Russian giant, who had within
him enough latent force to shake the whole
sphere of earth, could not throw off from his
back the bourgeois class, which, like a vanl-
pire, sucked the vital energy of the people for
its qualification.
"The giant had not yet learned his strength.
"But when. despite this clever mechanism
freedom Of thought began to appear among
the people, they began to beat it out with the
lash and to uproot treason by the prison,
exile, hard labor, and appropriation, and there
was established the apparatus of internal
espionage (Okhrana), the secret section, and
the special corps of the gendarmes, not to
mention the police.

L LA ~ -
Some cabbage growers accompanied
their car-lot shipments to market the
past season in order to secure first
hand knowledge of shipping conditions
and marketing practices. As a result,
not only were sales made on a fairly
satisfactory basis from the standpoint
of the producer, but the growers OBJ
tanned considerable useful experience
through observing the handling of the
cabbage in the markets. They studied
conditions affecting shipments en-
route and became better acquainted
with the demands of the large whole
sale markets. The information and
experience obtained We're of particu-
lar value to growers located in sec
lions where cabbage had not been
grown commercially in previous years.
The plan vas employed by growers
having two or o cars ready for
shipment at one time, and is a detail
in the business of marketing farm
products that experts Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department of

employed proftably by producers Of

CONTROL OF WHEAT DISEASE
Farmers Bulletin 1918 Tells Of Flag
Smut Discovered in Illinois
County in 1919.

Methods for controlling flag smut,
a destructive disease of wheat, are
given in Farmers Bulletin 1913, Flag
Smut of Wheat and It's Control, is
sued for free distribution by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
The disease was discovered in 1919
near Granite City, Madison county,
ILL.,, and in 1920 was found in Ill
fields confined to AZ square miles.
Black stripes running lengthwise in
the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical
Of flag smut. Diseased plants are
stunted and rarely head. The disease
is spread by spores carried on the
seed, and by spores left in the field
on infected plant material or on the
ground, where they may be scattered
in various ways, and infect, wheat
seedlings in the fall.
Treat with formaldehyde the in
tested grain as it comes from the
thrasher. Burn infested straw. Sow
disease-free seed on noninfested land.
Treat with copper sulphate and lime
the seed wheat to be sown in the in
tested area. Grow resistant varieties.
The bulletin may be had upon ap.
plication to the division of publica-
tons, United States Department of

Unusually large quantities of ergotI

but always has been very common in
rye. However, several samples Of
durum wheat containing large
amount Of ergot have been sent in to
the office of the county agent. Ergot
is a fungus growth. just as wheat
rust and smut and many other plant
diseases. The kernel of wheat becomes
infected and the fungus growth takes
the place of the kernel. This growth
is larger than the ordinary wheat

purple in color, some times tapering
out to an ash-grey at the end. After
threashing, these affected kernels are
difficult to seperate from the grain
Tt is dangerous to feed grain contain
ing ergot to cattle, as it may cause
poisoning and abortion. The ergot
may be found in the fields by exam

light grey liquid may be seen on
the head, apparently oozing out from
the kernel. She'll out such heads and

by being alarmed at it's presence now
Indication are that harvesting will
be in full away by the last of this
week, and about a thousand laborers
will be needed here shortly. Practic-
ally all of the rye has been cut, and
wheat, oats and barley are ripening
fast. Altho few harvest hands had
reached this county at the time of
writing, it is anticipated that little
difficulty will be experienced in se-
