Latin American
Demonstration Big

talist news agency is silent on the
main demand of the demonstrators,
it is possible that the demonstra-
TONS chief demand was for the re-
lease of the hunger strikers.
Cuban dispatches from capitalist
news agencies, as those from other
Latin American sources, show clear
ly that boycott of the boss press
was laid upon the unemployment
demonstrations of Thursday, which
WAS to Latin-American workers what
March 6 was to the workers of the
United States and Europe.
1t is clear that the capitalist press
estimate of 100000 strikers in Cuba
is, as usual, lying-under estima-
ton of the number actually strik-
ing. While the capitalist reports
admit that "all commerce and in
dustry was on strike, with the ex-
ception of some public utilities and
railways" the same reports quote
the lie of the Cuban police that the
strike "had failed"
| Reports indicate that no collisions
occurred, and the statement that po-
lice action was emerely to prevent
violence against persons or. prop
erty," nevertheless does not obviate
the fact that the violence of the po-
I lice was shown by the continued i'm
prisonment of five working class
leaders of the red trade unions on
the floating prison ship, Maxine
Gomez" in Havana Bay.
Sugar Workers Out.
That there were far more than
100000 strikers is shown by the adj
mission that, besides the nearly COM
plete strike of the industrial work
ers of the cities. of which Cuba has
some 250,00U, the plantation work
ers also struck in the great sugar
centrals Of the interior, and there
are nearly 100000 of such workers.
These sugar workers nave been SUBJ
jected to the most terrible exploita-
ton and class violence. Their union
was destroyed by arms in 1925 by
the fascist Machado dictatorship and
their leader, Enrique Varona, muir
dered while a prisoner, while their
wages have been cut from 81 day
in 1919, to so cents in 1928 and to
40 cents a day at present.
As stated in previous issues Of
The Daily Worker, but concealed by
the boss press, the strike was pro-
test not only against unemployment,
wage cuts and speed-up, in line with
the call of the Latin-American
Trade Union Confederation for all
Latin-American workers, but was
also a demonstration to protest
against the closing down by the gov
eminent of the National Confedera-
ton of Labor and the Havana Fed
GRAFTON. The capitalist press has
been utterly silent on this matter.
March 20 in Ecuador.
The capitalist press boycott
against the March 20 demonstra-
lions could not hide the great Cuban
strike. Only one other dispatch in
dicating what occurred in Latin
America was let past the censorship
of the boss-press agencies. This
was from Ecuador, and probably the
Associated Press lied even here,
when it stated that at Guayaquil,
the committee leading the unein-
ployed demonstration had given hu-
initiating assurance that the demon
stration would be peaceful, with no
violence and without any threat
against property"
"The Ecuadorian police, however
showed that as for themselves they
have no such pacific illusions or in

Growing Rhubarb During
Winter Not Difficult

Fresh rhubarb pie in winter Is not
only possible but feasible for home
gardeners, according to Prof. Robert
M. Adams of Cornell university at
Ithaca.
Roots are dug in the fall and al
lowed to freeze, for few leaves will
start unless the roots are first frozen,
Professor Adams says. The roots are
brought into the cellar and set in soil
on the dirt floor or in boxes. The soil
should be kept moist and at tenn
perature around 80 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. If the leaves can be kept
in the dark while they develop, the
quality of the stems Is better.
The best roots for forcing come
from the plants that have grown in
the field for four or five years and
not cut severely. But the home gar
dener may use any roots at hand. If
forcing is stopped when the leaves
begin to be small. the roots used may
be reset in the field and, after few
years growth, forced again.

Water Supply for Cows
During Frigid Weather

The water supply for next winter
may need some present consideration.
A water supply before the cows in the
stable Is about the best investment
that dairy farmer can make. Beef
cattle may be able to meet every re-
quirement for water by being turned
into the yard to tank once daily.
But a man who has had experience
only with beef cattle will get sur
prise If he undertakes to carry the
water to a dairy cow. A beef animal
will drink about as much water as a
dry cow. This will be about Is pounds
Of water daily If silage is fed and a
little more on dry roughage. The same
COW in milk. however, will drink at
least IS pounds of water daily. The
minimum consumption seems to be
about three times the weight Of the
milk that Is produced and sometimes
a great deal more. One COW, with a
production of 80 pounds milk daily.
drank 215 to $50 pounds Of water
daily. This may have been excep-
tional but it illustrates the importance
of the water supply. If a COW drinking
100 pounds of water day is watered
twice daily in a cold yard from cold
trough, perhaps with ice around the
edges, it means that she will have to
drink at least 60 pounds Of ice cold
water at one time. This she cannot
do without certain chill to her sys-
TEN. The drinking cup before her
enables her to take cold water at fire.
quent intervals and she will never
take enough to chill the system. Un-
der these conditions heating the water
is not necessary and would not pay.

Fall Is Best Time
for Applying Lime
Gives a Longer Period for
Counteracting Acidity.

Fall is the best time to apply lime
on soil that needs it, and the main
reason why 1t is the best time is that
most forms of lime act slowly in cor
recting acidity. Another reason why
fall Is good time for this job is that
there is usually more time then than
in the spring. according to the State
College Of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y.
Alfalfa and sweet and red clover
grow better on soils that have been
lined for some time in advance of
seeding. Alfalfa sometimes fails on
sour soils that have been lined as
far in advance as several weeks, and,
on very sour soils, red clover some
times fails under the same conditions.
The reason for such failures is that
the acidity has not been counteracted
and these plants cannot live and grow
where the soil is acid.
For alfalfa that will be seeded this
year on soil that needs more than two
tons Of lime to an acre, it is best to
apply the lime in two applications.
Part of the lime may be put on before
the land is plowed this fall, and this
should be mixed with the top soil.
Then, after the land Is plowed, the
rest of the lime should be put on and
this, too, should be mixed with the
soil. The college emphasizes that lime
cannot correct acidity unless 1t has
plenty Of time and is well mixed with
the soil.
