Agricultural Secretary Does
Not Approve Donating Pub
! lie Land to System

Secretary of Agriculture Howard
M. Gore in a letter to Senator
Ball, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, has renewed the
serious objection OF the department
to the bill introduced at the last
session by Senator William III. King,

The bill would add to the District

and B street, south. exclusive of the
buildings therein, and provides that
all greenhouses, gardens and build
ings connected Herewith in this
area be removed by the Secretary
Of Agriculture within three years
from date Of pasabe Of this act.
1t is the contention OF Secretary
Gore that the giving over Of this
tract Of land to the District would
seriously hamper the growth of the
Department of Agriculture and rem
der impossible the ambition of the
Department to so expand it's pres
emit quarters that all bureaus will
be centralized instead Of being in
widely separated points as at
present.
Secretary Gore requests Senator
Ban to advise him If hearings are
to be held on the dill so that the
department could formally enter
it's protest.
The Secretary also forwarded to
Chairman Ball q copy of lengthy
letter written by the late Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace on the SUBJ
ject in which the latter says
II feel very strongly that the
enactment of the bill would be
prejudicaI to the best interest of
the department land the efficiency

WHEAT WEALTH
is ONLY myth
TO The farmer
Newspaper Prices Are
Strangers to Him
BY ALFRED KNuTsoN.
Especial to The Daily Wcrker)

RAY, N. D., Nov. 21.-There
IS much talk by bankers and
big business men in the country
that the farmer is getting we'll
off, if not rich, by the increase
In the price of wheat.
Senator McNary now says it
is not necessary to press very
much his bill for farm relief be-
cause for the present the farm
er is on top.
$3.50 Wheat?
The other day the Minneapolis
wheat market quoted number one
wheat at $3.50 per bushel, and the i'm
preston was given by the newspapers,
which carried this news item, that
the farmer Of course, was getting
rich.
As a matter Of fact, the price given
above was on few hundred bushels
Of Montana wheat with particularly
high gluten content. Prices generally
were much lower Here at Ray, North
Dakota, for instance, the farmers re.
ceived $1.27 for number one wheat
when the Montana wheat was sold at
$3.50 In Minneapolis.
Spread in Prices.
Another fact to remember is that
the Minneapolis wheat price is about
"a cents higher than the prices quoted
out here in the west, so that the Mon.
tana farmer did not get more than
Sl.56 for his wheat Also, the capital.
list press usually gives the price for
the best grade of wheat, but it is not
very often that the farmer has this
kind Of wheat to SELL Most of the
wheat that is taken in here at Raw
now grades number three, and this
sells at five cents per bushel less than
number one.
Who Gets the Wheat Money?
The farmer is getting rich on wheat
this year! Yes. Let us take North
Dakota as an example. The total value
OF the entire wheat crop in the state
is approximately 100000 600. This is
what the farmer is selling the wheat

INDUSTRIAL, trade union-political
/ activity in Workers Party, local

Der 10. The district and city Industrial
committees worked out joint plan Of
work for every industry, t. U. e. L

groups are picking up strongly. The
elementary points, such as organiza-
ton of the unorganized, amaIgamation,
uniform agreements for the various
trades, united fight Of all the trades in
the industry to establish and maintain
an eight-hour day and against wage
cuts are the practical phases of the
program put forward and are being
given a revolutionary character.
Comrade Bell in his report showed
the excellent gains being made by
the metal trades group. In the build
ing trades, comrades are organizing to
prevent the expulsion of our comrades
and militants and feel that they will
be successful, if all other comrades
will be on the job The Progressive
Building Trades Worker and the
DAILY WORKER were distributed by
the thousands in the elections in Chi

that he is getting this much money
He must pay for seed, repairs on ma

that his income is cut down to at
least $75,00O,000. II we figure in

Wheat Wealth Myth to Farmer.
The North Dakota farmer, then, has
100000 to go on. What becomes
Of It? Does he keep it? No. He has
back taxes and back interest of over
$100,0O0,OOO to pay, without taking in
to account this years tax and this
years interest One farmer showed
me tax statement of 1858 and said
he barely earned enough net from the
sale of his crops this year to pay this
tax. Another farmer, who got bump.
er wheat crop, told me that he paid as
much on his debts as he could and
then kept 5000 with which to feed and
clothe his family between now and
the next harvest!
ExpIoiters Get the Money.
The large majority of the farmers
in this state have given up hope OF
ever being able to pay their loans
Their main struggle is in paying taxes
and interest and even this is impos.
sible. The banks, machinery con
Germs and investment companies are
Of course, elated over the increase in
the price Of wheat because they get
most of the money. No wonder they
were in favor Of Coolidge and his pros
perity! But the farmer will have Q
tough road to travel until capitalism
collapses and he, together with the
industrial workers, establishes his own
rule in the United States.
