KANSAS FARMS
FORECO WHEAT

Wichita, Kan, Aug A. Wheat
farmers fthe southwest intend to
meet the overproduction problem
next year by not planting wheat, a
survey today indicated.
Estimates so Unnecessarily on
ly estimates, because of the earli-
ness of the season-indiacte that
acreage of the winter wheat crop
will be reduced between 20 and 40
percent.
Thousands of growers intend to
let their fields lie fallow for a
year, hoping to get bigger crops
for a better market in 1888, and
thousands of others will let their
fields stay idle because they are
broke and can't farm even if they
should want to.
This years crop meanwhile is
still held on the farms in most
cases where the farmers aren't
forced to sell.
It is estimated that only so per
cent of the Kansas wheat is being
moved TO market. A fourth of the
grain is held in storage and anoth-
er fourth has been stacked but not
yet threshed, it is estimated. Har-
vest is practically over in Kansas
with many farmers not even bo-
thering to cut the grain with pric-
es where they are.
Similar conditions prevail in Ok
lahoma and Texas.

Churchill, Ont, Aug. e. Col.
and Mrs. Lindbergh arrived in this
far northern outpost of civilization
late today after a $50 mile flight
from Moose Factory along the
bleak shores of Hudson Bay.
The Japan bound Lindberghs
splashed the steel pontoons of their
black and scarlet monoplane into
the choppy harbor at $3.50 p. m.
They were rowed into Churchill
for a celebration such as the hardy
fur traders and other residents of
the tiny village have never held be-
fore, while Canadian government
experts swarmed over their plane,
refueling it for the next hop to
Bear Lake 800 miles to the north
in the 'Fbarrens" where not even
the hardest tree can live.
Sirens, horns and bells on the
ice-scarred craft in the harbOr
broke the Sunday calm on the sub
Arctic, while over the dusty main
street fluttered red, white and blue
bunting hastily improvised from
the stores of the Hudson Bay COM

SOVIET ONLY GOVERNMENT OF
PEOPLE" SAYS C. BERNARD SHAW

he replied. "There is forced labor
only in the western countries where
workers give up the product of
their labor to others, while in the
Soviet Union the workers person
ally use the product of their labor.
The greatest successful experiment
is being carried out in the USSR,
l mean collectivization which turn
ed a chess board consisting of
small private households into an
enormous complete area and it is
bringing colossal results. The
USSR went even further. The class
of backward peasants is disappear
ing, giving room to the organized
labor collective. The Soviet gov
eminent is the only government
working in the name of an ideal
chosen by the nation and the ma
ton works for its country, while
Western rulers chiefly work fol
filling up their pockets.

THE FARM PROBLEM
and -
THE ALLOTMENT PLAN
1893 **%% $685.
A PLAN THAT WILL BRING RESULTS

OUR STATE LAND Commission
U er, former member of the
" house of representatives, 1. M.
Brandjord, one of the brightest
and most outstanding men among
our public figures, sends the Pro-
ducerS News an article on Farm
Relief Plan. The well written art
icle is on Is pages and our space
only permits us to print small ex-
corps from the article.
If you look at it from the stand
point of not disturbing the present
system of grain gambling and prof
it Mr.. Brandjord's relief plan is
the best we have heard of yet. The
plan leaves practically everything
as it is, but at the same time it
brings to the wheat farmer each
year about SOC per bushel extra,
based on his average yield. If he
has crop failure he gets his 30c
just the same-in that line it beats
any plan we have heard of
Personally we like the plan Hans
Rasmussen had printed in the Pro-
ducers News some time ago better
the plan of letting each wheat
farmer sell a fixed amount at a
fixed price. That plan would give
the small farmer a little advantage
over the big farmer and would
, bring about a back to the farm
movement which Mr.. Brandjord's
plan will not do-his plan will
make the big farm still bigger.
Part of Mr.. BrandjOrd's Article
"The total annual income thru
out the nUited States. in normal
years, from all sources is estimated
and calculated at about 90 billion
dollars. Of this total income the
farmers receive a cash income Of
bout 10 billion dollars in norma
years. Including the value of al
farm products consumed on the
farm, figured at regular marke-
prices, the total annual, norma
farm income is about eleven anC
three-quarters billion dollars"
In other words, about one fourth
of our total population, represented
by the farm industry, received onl!
about one-eighth of the total in
come.

INVOLVES 10000

Havana, Aug. GA general "a
hour strike Tuesday involved some
10000 worlmen in Havana and an
estimated $4,000 to 10000 more

said Tuesday night that strong
sentiment had developed for a new
stoppage of work to begin within
the next two days.
The new strike if called would
protest the arrest of nearly 40

PARACHUTE JUMP
ENTERTANS THRONG

A fair sized crowd congregated
at the local airport last Sunday
afternoon to witness the parachute
jump. After some preparatory
passenger carrying flights during
which time the onlookers watched
with much interest the folding of
the parachute into the case by
which the "chute" is attached to
the airplane, Pilot Strong took the
jumper, Tennies "LoOp" Rem,
aboard and scared aloft to the
height of approximately 5000 feet
where Rem hoped out of the plane
coming to earth in a pretty decent
and landing about a mile east of
the west boundary of the air port.
He is scheduled TO make a para
chute jump at Brush Lake next
Sunday afternoon at which no
doubt there will be a good crowd
present to see this unassuming,
mild hammered but nervy young
man risk his life for their amuse-
ment.

than 100 neighbors protesting
against the eviction of a family
from their home in north Mime
apolis.
Patrolman Bliss of the munich

serving the order when the news
of it spread over the neighbor-
hood. In a few minutes a crowd
of hOOting neighbors had gather
ed outside.
Patrolman Bliss turned in a ri

Saturday afternoon the T. A.
met at the Farmer Labor Temple.
The biggest part of the afternoon
was taken up by Niels Madsen
reading and explaining next
years county budget, from which
it was learned that our county
taxes will be much higher next
year than ever before. Last year
was election year and tax mills
were reduced for political purpOs-
es- excuse given was that it was
done on account of hard times.
The hard times are still with us
worse than ever but this year
taxes are going up just the same.
Hans Rasmussen suggested
that the Taxpayers Association
go on record recommending the
tax levy be raised to the limit,
No action was taken. At times
Hans has cvrazy ideasl The way
he explained this one was that
not over five go per cent of the
people living In the county viii
pay their taxes this fall and none
of them win pay next spring,
practically all the taxes the cOun-
ty will receive next year viii be
from outsiders such as railroads,

1919 was one of the most prosper

the United States.
"By way of comparison it is in
teresting to note that according to
figures of the u. S. Department of
Commerce, the average annual cost
of supporting all persons confined
IN prisons and reformatories in
1927 was $334.75 per capita. Com
pilatiOns made by the Bureau of
Census show that the average an
nual cost thruout the United States
of supporting dependent and defec-
tive persons cared for in public in
stitutions is more than $205 per
capita.

ing employment to others and pur-
chase implements, building materi-
ais and other products of mill and

"The average wheat production
IN the United States during the
last ten years has been between
eight and nine hundred million
bushels; approximately one-fourth
of this production is available fol-
export; the remaining three
fourths are used at home as seed
feed, flour and miscellaneous food
products. But the price on the
one-fourth exported and sold ir
competition with the 'pauper labor
of the world largely fixes the pau
per price on the three-fourths OF
the wheat consumed at home. This
unregulated, outrageous circum
stance is one of the main causes Of
the ruinous wheat prices now pre-
vailing.
"Is there no remedy? Are We
so powerless, so stupid, so poverty
stricken in ideas that we are un
able to regulate our own interna
affairs and must surrender to thu
