EXPERIMENT IN INLAND EMPIRE
WITH COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER

SPOKANE.--In connection with the
great building enterprise of its fertiI-
izer plant in Trail, B. C.. the Consoli-
dated Mining and Smelling company OF
Canada, Limited, is making prepara-
tons to conduct an extensive series
of experiments in the Kootenai val
lev. Plans call for 5-acre plots OF
wheat, seed peas, and alfalfa, using
three fertilizers.
The trials will be made in the val
lev and on bench land with County
Agent Storms and G. R. McDole, soils
expert, University Of idaho, cooperat-
ing. -. -.
The decision Of the Consolidated
company to conduct their first expert
ments in the United States, comes as a
result of requests Of Boomers Ferry
people.
While the Kootenai valley land IS
rich and productive, it seems certain
that the application Of fertilizers Will
result in increased yields and eariier
maturity The use Of other fertilizers
here has been successful. County
Agent Storms has had excellent re-
suits in the use Of complete fertilizer
on peat lands. Last year A. Klockmann,
in drainage district No. S, experimental
with fertilizer on large scale and
kept records showing that on ground
where fertilizer was used he had aver
age OF 1000 pounds of seed peas an
acre, in comparison with yield OF 200
pounds an acre on untreated land

claimed Lady Astor. Barr shrugged
his shoulders, smiled, and said:
I'm not interested in saying what
IS not true" This ended the con-
versatlon. This man is unhappy, u
said Lady Aston on leaving the
workshop. Il have read it in his SOUL
Lady Aston said this quite seriously,
This is evidently "spiritualism in
practice"
IN the adjoining village, Shaw and
his companions visited series Of
"Izbas," talking to the collectivized
peasants and to the peasants who
have not yet joined the collective
farm. There, too, Lady Astor had
an informal talk which, let us hone.
she will never forget. Near one of
the "Isbas" she came across an old
collectivized peasant, colIectiviza-
ton enthusiast, village non-Party
activist, of whom there are so many
now in the Soviet villages. "How are
you getting on?"-asked Lady Astor.
I'VE get on splendidly, my DEAR
answered the old nan.-"We get or,
splendidly now, and there are no
words to describe how splendid will
be our life in a little while. There
are of course difficult times, but we
are our own masters, we arrange our
life ourselves"
Lady Aston: eft is pleasant to see
a jolly and happy peasant"
We are working, my dear we are
working. Just feel how my heart
beats" Getting hold of Lady Astor's
hands, he pressed them to his heart.
We do not know what Lady Astor
VIII say and write about the USSR.
But one thing is certain: Lady Astor
has been able to see with her own
eyes how little truth there is in the
legends OF her fellow conservatives
regarding forced labor in the USSR.
Lady Aston has seen how actively and
consciously the workers and peasants
in the Soviet country are building up
their life.
Lady Astor came with the intention
OF having heart to heart" talks with
workers, collectivized and individual
peasants. Lady Astor wanted to con-
vince her interlocutors OF the ad-
vantages Of capitalism. Lady Astor
met with sharp rebuff which show
ed her how convinced the workers of
the UsSR are of the correctness OF
the line pursued by the Bolshevist
Party. There was nothing left to
the dissillusioned lady but repeat over
and over again: "BolsheWsm is a
religion"

LADY ASTOR'S FIASCO

No, collectivzation is needed every
where.
Lady Astor: Can't you understand
that collectiWzation is a tie, that it
gives no opportunity to live as one
would like. Take myself, I live in
dependently. I go wherever I want,
and I do whatever I want.
Maria: But you are rich woman,
what about the workers you en-
ploy?
Lady Aston: Our workers live well.
They are lterate and cultured.
Maria: I don't think that they live
well, and as to being cultured, the
sooner they will make revolution.
Lady Astor: There can be no re-
volution in our country.
Maria: Go along, there is sure to
be one. You know what a lot Of
illiterate, uncultured people we had
here at the beginning Of the re-
volution, and yet they made the
October Revolution And since you
say that your workers are cultured,
they are sure to make a revolution.
Lady Aston: In any case, there
will be no Bolshevism in our country.
Maria: There will be. There Will
be Bolshevid, without them no revo-
luton.
Lady Aston: No. no, no.
This ended the conversation. Lady
Aston continued to inspect stables,
pig-styes, laundries and the hotels of
the Commune. In the kitchen she
came face to face with Gontar, the
woman cook who was preparing the
meal.
Lady Aston: How do you do. What
hard work. You see whether under
capitalism or under socialism, house
hold drudgery remains household
drudgery.
Gontar: True, it is not easy work.
Only this is a Commune, and the
work is well distributed. We work
in three shifts, the washing up and
dying up is done by special workers
1t is different than what it is with
you, when there is only one servant
Lady Aston: How do you know how
it is with US, you have never been
there.
Gontar: have been told by my
husband, he worked in America, but
had to leave with his daughter.
Lady Astro: How old is his daugh-
ter?
Gontar: Thirteen.
Lady Aston: should like to talk
to her.
The girl came, and Lady Astor
made her talk about America.

National Miners Union Dispaces UMWA WV IN Harlan

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August H.
While the IWW continues, at last
accounts to keep its death grip on the
Harlan miners In jail and facing the
electric chair through the purely
technical legal control Of the case
they gained during the period after
the Harlan County miners found the
UMWA was betrsying them, and the
period when they discovered what
they really wanted was the National
Miners Union, the few members that
the Wobbles took into their organ
i1ation In Harlan County are ex-
changing their cards for NNfU cards.
In a big collection OF cards sent
by the Harlan miners to the ma
tional office Of the National Miners
Union here. with request that they
be placed in the NMU museum"
are both United Mine Workers cards
and IWW cards. Along with them are
few cards Of an obscure organiza-
ton which records its members by
number, its dues payments by letters,
and which calls itself the "All Work
ers Union"
But most of the cards are IWW
and UMWA dues books. The Wobbly
cards were issued in June Of this
year; that was the brief period when
the Wobs came in, and it took less
than = month for them to expose
themselves.
One OF the things which opened
the eyes OF the Kentucky miners was
the cold blooded sectarian policy OF
giving relief to rww members only.
That snacked too much Of an at
tempt at bribery for the Kentucky
miners, Whose solidarity had been lit
orally cemented In blood. Then came
the IWW General Defense Commit
tees dicturn, surprising and appalling
alike to the miners as a whole and
to the Harlan prisoners. that these
