FACTS FROM THE FARMERS

Continued from page ~
stressed particularly the securing
c. good breeding stock. This should
mean large-boned, heavily muscled
birds of whatever breed one is Sc
lecting. Of course, one should watch
for vigor and health as well as
these other characteristics. Only
early Matched pullets or well-mat-
ured and good sized hens should
lie used.
Best practices recommended are
that poults raised with turkey
hens and probably where poultry
hen has been set at the same time
that the turkey hen and then all
of the poults given to the turkey
hen will insure one probably of the
maximum number of poults raised
for the number of turkey hens in
the flock unless one is to hatch
and brood artificially.
Much more care must be taken
with turkey poults than with poul-
try in guarding against diseases
and parasites. Turkeys should not
be raised at least on the same area
and better not on the same farm
where poultry is being carried as
an enterprise. Range for the poults
should be rotated from year to
year as to get away from every
possible opportunity for contain
nation, especially with the caeco
worm which, according to expert
mental work conducted, is one of
the great contributing factors to
the development of Black Head in
poultry. In fact, some experiment.
ers have gone so far as to see
that Black Head is not developed
where caeco worms are not pres
emit. However, Mr.. Buchanan stat
ed that 90 of the so called Black
Head was due to lack of green feed
in the diet. Plenty of green feed
is on the essentials to good poult
| production.
One of the things which very oft
en- is neglected, is the feeding OF
the turkey good growing feed
throughout the period of growth,
many people feeling that turkeys
will rustic their own living. No
greater mistake could be made than
! this as far as economical turkey
production is concerned. Growing
rations must include an abundance
of mineral so as to develop birds
of good frame and especially tc
! get away from any tendency fol
! weak and crooked breast bones
which of course knocks our birds
into a second grade as far as mar.
keting is concerned. Birds with
crooked breast bones should not be
used under any conditions, for the
breeding of stock largely because
i of the fact that this would show
weakness toward low vitality il
the non-assimilation of the min
i erals.
! The possibility of the organiza

marketing of turkeys this coming
j fall was discussed and the Yakima

Breaking Off of
China Relations Is
Necessary" Pravda

MOSCOW, (By MaiD. - The
"Pravda' writes: After the answer
of the Chinese government to the
Soviet note, there was no other pos
sibility for the Soviet government
but to break off diplomatic rela-
tons with China. This step will be
welcomed by the proletatiat of the
Soviet Union and of the whole world.
By provoking the breaking off of
diplomatic relations, the Chinese
militarists once again betrayed the
interests of the Chinese people to the
international imperialists. By their
shameful violation of treaties they
had themselves, signed, the Kuom-
ingtang militarists have given all
imperialists the right to demand the
maintenance of the unequal treaties.
Thus they have fac 'litated the
further political and economic en-
slavement of China by the i'm
perialists. Only the victorious
Chinese revolution can break out of
this vicious circle"

Make England II Hours Hours Pa
Rembeyt0n Has Three Plays
Scheduled for Next Season

BROCK PEMBERTON has acquired
~ the rights to three new American
plays for production the coming sea-
son. All three are comedies. His
first production will be Strictly
Dishonorablc," comedy by Preston
Sturges, whose first play, THE
Guinea Pig" was produced here by
the author himself last spring. Re-
hearsals will be begun shortly and
the play will be given an out-cf-
town tryout late next month.
This will be followed by "Epi-
sode," a drawing-room comedy by
John D. Haggart, also new and
young writer. 1t will be produced
in Boston in late September and in
New York fortnight later.
The third of the trio is "The Life
Line" a comedy by Gratchen DAM
rosch Finletter, daughter of Walter
Damrosch. This will be her first
New York production. Pemberton
has an option on a fourth comedy in
preparation called "The Three
Racketeers," by John Gilchrist. An
toinette Perry, who assisted in
staging his two productions last sea-
son, will be associated with him in
a similar capacity in these produc-
tons. Robert Edmond Jones, Ray
mond Sovey and 10 Mielziner will be
among the artists contributing set
tings to Mr.. Pemberton's produc-
tions.

said yesterday. "As for the talkie
pictures, there was never any dan
ger of the talkies killing the legiti-

prove as color, depth, breadth and

no form of entertainment will ever
supplant the living theatre, because
the current that flows between hui

FARM Takers
AID CYP TANK
STORAGE PLAN
"Great Money Saver"
Fools Farmers
(By a Farmer Correspondent


BONETRAILL, N. D. (By Mail)
The Farmers Union, a capitalistic
farm organization, is urging the
farmers here to buy steel tanks of
1000 to 1900 bushels capacity,
costing $3.50 to 5000 or more each,
in which they can store the grain
on the farms and hold it for a
"higher price" The tanks are in
speeted and sealed by the state and
the farmer can borrow money on
the grain thus stored until the mar
ket "gces up" These tanks are
said to be "great money savers" for
the farmers.
Another Gyp Scheme.
This storage tank idea is just
another scheme to fool the farmer.
North Dakota and Montana are the
only two states that provide by law
for the storage of grain on the
farms. 1t is safe to say that not
more than 80 per cent of the farm
ers in the two states will buy these
tanks and store their grain, as they
are urged to do by the Farmers
Union leaders.
With only two states involved in
this plan and less than third of
the farmers in same storing their
grain as directed, what control over
the market will the farmers have
1t is fact that storing grain or
other products on the farm does not
tend to raise prices, but rather to
lower them.
OF course it is false principle in
the first place that the farmers can
control anything with the capital
lists in possession of the government
and the entire marketing machin-
cry.
Even # every farmer in the United
States tried to hold all the products
he raised off the market, in an eff
fort to raise prices, the capitalist
state power would soon find means
! of compelling the farmers to re-
lease the food on the terms of the
capitalists.
To Provide Soft Jobs.
F, The fact that these grain storage
laws passed so easily in the legis'
latures of both North Dakota and
Montana shows that the capitalist:
do not take this "price fixing
scheme seriously. These 'grair
laws" will merely provide soft jobs
for state inspectors and give sons
capitalist a chance to sell grain stor
age tanks at a good profit. The
small farmer will be gypped agar
as he always is under capitalism.
The farmers, to get relief, mus
organize together with tho city
workers and under the leadership o.
the latter establish a workers ant
farmers government.
