DEAD IN PEN
MORE THAN $50
Unemployment Fills
Capitalist Prisons

Continued from Page One)
were consigned to for their working
class activities under the vicious
criminal syndicalism law. They were
released on bail pending appeal, and
yet faced being sent to this death
trap again.
The actual number of dead is be-
ing kept secret by the prison and
state authorities, who do not want
the full extent of their heinous crime
known to the masses. There are
211 men in the prison hospital, most
of whom face death. At least 30
will be totally blind for the rest
of their lives.
Warden Preston, in order to keep
his job, is now dishing up one of
the rottenest lies ever concocted by
these blood-lusty prison watch dogs:
he is trying to throw the blame onto
some of the men in the prison. Not
one attempt of jail-breaking- thru
out the entire holocaust is reported
by any of the capitalist sheets whose
sympathy is always with the p>ison
authorities against the workingclass
Overcrowding of all jails, with
graft by the prison authorities, is
one of the main causes of the rotten
conditions. This is partly admitted
by the Warden of Sing Sing, Lewis
E. Lawes, who says:
"To begin with, the great fault
can be traced back to the legisla-
lures Of the various states.
Throughout the United States the
prisons are hopelessly overcrowded."
The jails are being jammed with
workingclass prisoners as a result Of
widespread unemployment, whole
sale lay-offs of men over 40 years
of age, who are forced into crime
in order to keep themselves from
starving. They get neither unem-
ployment or old age insurance after
sweating out their lives for the cap
italist masters.
At the same time the capitalists
in every state are increasing their
suppressiye laws against the work
ingclass, as witnessed by the inten-
sified prosecutions Kinder the Grim
inal syndicalist laws, the failing of
the unemployed leaders in New York
and the thousands of arrests on
March 9th in the unemployment
demonstrations.
Tom Johnson, who spent several
months in the Ohio State Peniten-
tiary on conviction under the Ohio
State Criminal Syndicalist Law, for
membership in the Communist
Party, several months ago wrote an
article which was printed in the
Daily Worker on conditions in the
Jail. He described how the men
were crowded in the vile, old, filthy
cells. He told about the bloodthirsty
warden and his threats against the
workingclass prisoners.
Johnson's picture of the Ohio
death cells is the truth about all
of the capitalist penitentiaries into
which workers are being crowded.
The embittered men rushed to Jail
for the least infraction of capitalist
law have made many attempts at
mass escape during the past ten
months. Thirty have been killed and
fifty wounded in various prison
breaks beginning last July in Dan
nemora, and extending to Auburn,
N. Y, the Federal dollhouse at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; the state
pen at Canon City, with it's bloody
Ludlow murderer of striking min
ers as its present warden; down to
to the State prison of Howard, r. l.,
Alabama State prisons, and dozens
of others.

then 45 could have secured nine

Young Worker Calls For Strike.

LAWRENCE, Mass, April o.
Frank Bongii, young worker, has
written to the Daily Worker cali
for all textile workers to strike May
1 and demonstrate. He tells of in
creased speed-up of young workers.
On April IA they were forced to
take unfinished work home and fin
ish it. They are not allowed fresh
air in the working rooms. A 12-
year-old boy has been given years
in the reform school for distributing
leaflets.
In the Wood mill skilled workers,
he points out, get only $22 week,
and unskilled get $14. Spinners
working the present short time get
SO a week. A Suggestion box"
system speeds the workers and d.
vides their forces.
Bongii calls on all to unite, join
the National Textile Workers, and
to fight against these ruinous con-
ditions. = nj ~

Early Sowing Generally
Means Bigger Crop

Minnesota experiment station tests
have shown that early sown oats, bar
ley, spring wheat. and fax have a
better chance Of making good crop
than If sown week to ten days later.
In these tests production decreased as
the seeding was delayed. Seeding
oats ten days later than the usual
time cut the yield four bushels an
acre with early varieties and five
bushels an acre with the late varie-
ties. Where seeding was delayed 20
days. yields at harvest dropped from
nine to twenty bushels an acre. Seed
ing month late cut the yields about
in two. --..
The rule for early sowing holds
good even If clover or alfalfa is to
be planted with the small grain. Glow
er will do best if seeded as early as
the ground can be worked.

Open Sheds for Cows
Good in Mild Areas

Provide Means of Preserv-
ing Fertilizer Elements.


prepared by the United States Department
CT Agriculture.)
The open shed or covered barnyard
is practical method Of housing dairy
cows in moderate climates, says dairy
officials of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
It provides the best-known method
Of preserving all the fertilizing con-
stituents Of the manure. When there
Is plenty of bedding, cows in open
sheds keep cleaner than those confined
in stanchions, even when manure is al
lowed to accumulate for several
months at a time. At the experiment
station of the bureau Of dairy indus
try at Beltsville, Nd, !6S per cent more
bedding is used in the open shed than
when the cows are sanctioned.
The open-shed method permits free
dom Of action of the COW and gets her
off the hard floors of the COW barn.
Also where small milking barn Is
used, the open shed is cheaper meth
cd Of housing than the customary dairy
barn.
The bureau Of dairy industry is now
building sheds at some Of its field sta
lions and dividing them into pens, so
the herd may be divided into small
groups. Managers with rigid stanchions
are built at the feed alley, so the cows
may be fastened and fed individually.
This Is desirable because timid cows
are often fought away from feed racks
when the cows are not fastened at
time of feeding. Cows housed in open
sheds should be dehorned.

Baled Hay Convenient
for Storage Purposes

Growers whose hay storage space
is limited will find that baling the
alfalfa and other kinds of hay will
enable them to put under cover sew
eral times as much hay as can be
stored in a loose form. While the
cost of baling is considerable, the saw
ing it makes possible in the way of
hay lost from weathering in stacks,
hay saved from scattering in feeding,
and the labor Of handling will usual
ly more than make up for it.
One thing must be watched for in
storing baled hay, especially in hay
mows, that the bales not be piled high
enough to exceed the safe load. Loose
hay weighs from three to five pounds
per cubic foot, depending on how well
1t has settled; while baled hay weighs
from 20 to Is pounds for the same
space, or about FIVE times as much,
and it is easy with baled hay to over
load a NOV which will hold all the
loose hay which can be piled upon it.

Outdoor Exercise
Very Best Tonic
Iowa Farmer Does All His
Work With Horses, Keep
ing Daily Record.

Daily outdoor exercise is the best
tonic ever prescribed and the cheapest
insurance against sickness or death.
This might be doctor prescribing
for his patient, but it isn't. 1t is
farmer, telling in the Breeders Gazette
about the management of his work
horses, of which at March 1, 1929, he
had 80 head on a 100 acre farm in
central Iowa. He does all his farm
ing with horses, keeping a daily rec
ord Of labor costs SO that he knows
just what it costs him to produce an
acre of corn, or oats, or pasture.
Finds Daily Labor Cost.
In 1928 this farmer, Clarence Hill,
counting his original investment In
horsefesh, his labor, profits from sales
of horses and from manure fertilizer,
his feed and incidental charges, found
that he had an average daily labor cost
Of only GLIB cents per horse. The rec
ord involved % horses In harness with
an average of 9s6 days of work each.
When he computes his costs for the
1929 season (his fiscal year closes
on March ~ he expects to find cost
of only SO cents per day per horse.
Mr.. Hill feeds his horses according
to work performed. In the winter they
are pastured where they have access
to stalk-fields, straw-stacks, and to
blue grass; during February and March
each horse Is fed sixth of bushel
Of corn every day, while still out on
pasture, to put him in flesh for spring
work and on heavy work he receives
ration consisting mostly Of oats with
some corn, and also mixed hay until
grass becomes firm. Then. the horses
are turned out each night on good
blue grass sod.
Azoturia Unknown.
"Azoturia is unknown" Mr.. Hill de-
clares, "simply because we are kind
enough to turn a horse out, even in
the rain"
Mr.. Hill uses the 9 horse multiple
hitch, tying his horses in and bucking
them back according to the system
taught by the Horse Association of
America. He declares he is operating
more economically with horses in
terms of final power cost per bushel
produced" than he could by the use
of any other form Of power; also that
use Of his big teams saved him in
1928 more than 5000 In hired labor
bills alone. He buys his horses as thin
two-year-olds, turns them on to grass.
puts them into harness as three-year-
olds, and sells them as coming seven's
when their market value is highest.
In this way he finds his horses an in
vestment. the same as steer calves or
stock pigs, he declares.
