weakness of it's military organization.
Heroism, courage and flaming enthusi
asm Of the Paris Communards did not
suffice alone to secure victory: the
French proletariat at that time did
not yet possess an internally firm
revolutionary mass party, which might
have led it without a pause to decis-
i've victory. d
HURING the present period between
- two revolutionary waves, the revo-
lutionary working class. which learned
from the experiences of this defeat, is
preparing for fresh decisive battles, is
directing all its energies to organizing
it's forces, to the creation of strong
Communist Party, to preparing it for
the armed struggle.
The Russian proletariat has already
avoided the mistakes Of the Paris
Commune, and created a revolutionary
party long before the uprising, organ
lied the Red Army, the army of it's
class, which is armed in accordance
with all the rules Of the latest mill
tary technique and absorbed all the
experiences of the military struggle.
+ The cause Of the easy victory
VI gained by the bourgeoisie over the
Paris Commune was the fact that the
Partisan workers were not supported
by the workers of France and the
workers of other countries.
The fact that the French peasantry,
which stood apart from the fight of
the Partisan workers, not only did not
support the latter, but even sided with
the French bourgeoisie, helped the lat
ter to defeat the revolutionary work
ing class.
Following the teachings of Lenin,
the revolutionary workers entered
into direct alliance with the peasants
fighting against the yoke of imperial
ism, they support them in this strug-
gle and strive to bring about the revo-
lutionary alliance of the workers and
peasants, which conquered in the Oc-
tober revolution of 1917 and which will
help the workers and peasants of the
countries Of the West to attain victory,
and every day bring it nearer and
nearer.
C The revolving Partisan workers
VI during the March days of 1871 had
no illusions about and no confidence
in the bourgeoisie and it's govern
ments. Their slogan was the revolt of
the working class, the fight for power

Farmers in the lower irrigated val
leys of the state have planted more
than rs acres to sweet potatoes this
year, says Harry Jensen, hortlcultur-
list at the Irrigation Branch Station
at Prosser. Last year the paintings
| totaled about twelve acres, showing
substantial increase.
AS early as 1908 men from the
South, settling in the Three Rivers
district, (where the Yakima and the
Snake rivers join the Columbia) be-
gan experimenting with sweet pota-
toes in their new gardens. Several
of these efforts were so successful
that attention has gradually been
drawn to the commercial possibilities
of the crop under irrigation.
The sweet potato is second only to
the Irish potato as a commercial
truck crop in the United States. Its
production has tripled since 1894 and
the price paid growers has increased
about 80 per cent during the last 30
years. ss.. 49,.
Washington growers who are sue
cessful in producing marketable sweet
potatoes are assured of fair price.
The growers will, of necessity, be
limited and it is unlikely that the
output will ever over-supply the de-
mand of the Northwest markets. Sou
thern grown sweet potatoes are bur-
dened with transportation costs.
Washington grown potatoes sold at
home is the solution for making the
most of our sweet potato crop and
meeting the competition from the
Southern states.
In 1924 the Kennewick Commercial
club sponsored the distribution of
sweet, potato plants to a number of
farmers for experimental paintings.
Other small paintings were made at
Prosser, White Bluffs, Hanford, Pas
co and Umatilla.
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
tai station at Prosser, prompted by
requests for information on this new
crop, began variety tests and studies
of the irrigation and cultural need
of sweet potatoes. The results of the,
preliminary trials last year, togeth-
er with the experiences of a major
ity of growers, indicated that the
crop is we'll worth further investiga-
ton.
This year twenty varieties are be-
ing grown at the station. These are

enormous growth in kilowatt
hour sales has required large in
vestments in physical facilities
in these same communities.
Electricity has come to take
such an important place in COM
munity life as to be a practical
necessity, which fact is muchly
evidenced by the effect upon the
community and industry of SER
ious Interruptions to service.
