Soil Fertility
Important For
Sank Produce

Sank county is richer early by
$4,000 because of the soil fer
tility produced as by-product o.
dairying, according to the Blue Val
ley Creamery Institute. The fig.
ure is based on data resulting from
many carefully kept records on a
considerable number Of farms.
The average quantity of manure
recovered for use on crop land in
the area studied was IA tons per
COW, and since the fertiliing value
of ton of manure is $3.50 the by
product of each COW is approxim-
ate-ly twenty dollars. The appli-
cation of this figure to the 41,000
dairy cattle in this county brings
the total added value to the soil
fertility here to the almost unbe-
lievable figure given above.
In keeping with it's better feeding
program the Institute estimates
that from 25 percent to so percent
greater profit from each ton of
feed can be made by local farmers
who milk cows through improved
feeding methods, alone. This was
demonstrated, it states, by the eX-
pertinent recently concluded by
the University of Minnesota. The
schools dairy division about a yeal
ago purchaser four average cows
with available records but without
a scientific feeding ration and by
merely placing them on a home
grown ration suitable to their needs
Increased each cows production
almost forty per cent.

sue from two indictments return
ed against him by the federal
grand jury Thursday, listing to-
tai of IA counts are to be served on

Olson is a former president of a
American State bank of Burling-
ton near Minot, N. D., and it in
terested in banking operations in
several middlewestern states.
Sank Bank Interested
The charges against Olson are
the outgrowth of the alleged sale
of worthless certificates Of deposit
to the Sank bank of Prairie du Sac,
Wis, declared to aggregate ap-
proximately $4,000, representing
transactions beginning as long ago
as 1915. The certificates in turn

MAY
GET KELLOGG'S
RECOGNITION
Hughes Successor FG-
UorS Russian Treaty
tspsciaI . Ths oaiIy worksrl


PARIS, France, Jan. 13.-it is
quite an open rumor in the
whole diplomatic corps now
gathered at Paris, that the ap-
pointment of Frank b. Kellogg
to the office of secretary of state
presages recognition of Russia
by the United States.
Inspired conversations from sources
close to the new head of the state de-
partment frankly state that Kellogg
believes the United States must event
ually take some cognizance of Soviet
Russia, no matter how hostile Ameri.
can capitalists are to the Soviet form
Of government.
Making Virtue Of Necessity.
These sources point out that Great
britain, France, Italy, and Germany
have already reached a method of get
ting along with the Bolshevik enemy
which they cannot destroy, and even
Japan is now negotiating a treaty
with the Soviets, which may lose
America much trade to her most i'm
mediate enemy. Asiatic trade has been
going against the United States and
Mr.. Kellogg thinks America cannot
afford to remain as the only nation re-
fusing TO take Bolshevik trade.
It is the opinion of everyone that
this viewpoint Of kellogg is the view
point Of Coolidge's administration, in
which Borah. the chief proponent OF
recognition of Russia, leads the sec
ton that looks toward more vigor-
Gus struggle against English interests.
Certainly, the stepping out OF
Hughes gives a chance for a graceful
reversal of policy by the government
on Russian as on other affairs.
Hughes was independent, too much so,
II is believed, for Coolidge, while KEEL
logg is weaker character that win
accept any order the White House
may give him.
New Front Toward England
Kellogg has what some call "ju-
dicial" mind, tho some who 20 further
call him "tImid." Undoubtedly he win
be more OF a rubber stamp for Cool
idge, who seems TO be bit more will
ing to fight British capital in Europe
even If he has an understanding with
England for united front against
japan, than Hughes was.
Hughes conceded too much to Eng.
land In Americas European interests.
while Morgan's new grasp upon and
subsection Of France makes It more
needful to make an ally OF France
against Britain IN Europe. and an ally
OF Britain agains, Japan in Asia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49,
The appeal to the United States
supreme court for a reversal of
the decision of the Michigan
supreme court, combining c. E.
Ruthenberg, executive secre-
tary of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party tc the Jackson, Mich,
prison without bail, will be

On January II the supreme court Of
the United States will be asked by
Comrade Ruthenberg's attorneys to
admit Ruthenberg to bail pending a
final decision on the constitutionality
Of the Michigan criminal syndicalism
law.
Frank p. Walsh. who defended
Foster and Ruthenberg in the Michi-
gan trials, will represent Comrade
Ruthenberg in Washington, as will
Isaac Ferguson of Chicago. Comrade
Ruthenberg's lawyers contend that
the Michigan criminal syndicalism law
is unconstitutional because it denies
the right OF assemblage and of free
speech given in the constitution, and
that the Communists cannot be inn
prisoned for merely expressing their
opinions. No intent to do criminal in

county prosecutors Of the Communists.

ON RADICALS
Communists Fight Back
With Determination
Especial to The Daily Worker,


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan.
13.-Dan Stevens, Communist,
and member of the Minneapolis
Trades and Labor Assembly for
twenty years, is threatened with
losing his seat in the central
labor body because of his men,
bership in the Workers Party.
The attack on Stevens is directed
by the old reactionaries ably assisted
by the alleged progressive Cramer,
editor of the Review, than whom there
is no more fully Pledged lickspittle in
the labor movement. Cramer for
merly played with the radicals, but
fear of losing his meal ticket sent
him crawling to the reactionaries.
Between Two Fires.
But Cramer is now spurned by
both sides. The old reliable conserv-
atives have the greatest contempt for
him. They cannot trust this back
slider who would turn any way at a
moments notice that would promise
him q juicy meal ticket together with
the qualification of his desire for the
limelight.
The Communists are vigorously
meeting the fight forced upon them.
They have put up full slate for Off
GERS of the assembly and may enter a
candidate in the mayoralty campaign,
II the labor takers endorse George r..
Leach for mayor, according TO G. A.
Hathaway, district organizer for the
Workers Party.
Machlnlst Is Barred.
The reactionaries promise to make
report Of their investigation OF Dan
Stevens, next Wednesday. William
Nauseth, Of the machinists' union, al
so barred from the assembly by the
Takers is on the takers frame-up list
The center group in the assembly
are shaking in their shoes. The Com
munists are fighting under very favor
able circumstances and have their
opponents on the moral defensive.
