PEAT HOLDINGS ALASKA
 COLLEcE BE DEVELOPED

Efforts of President Charles E. Bunnell of the Alaska College to make some commercial use of the peat on land held by the College under grant from the federal gov ernment have resulted in formation of definite plans to extract peat from the bog between Fairbanks and the College, reports the News Miner.
 President Bunnel gave lease on the bog last October to George A. Lingo, a mining engineering grad uate of the College, who now has associated with him John Worces- ter. graduate of Boston Tech, in mining engineering.
 During the coming winter they plan to remove approximately 500 tons for a preliminary shipment. The peat will be harvested like ice and then allowed to dry the fol- lowing summer, when it will be made into bales and shipped. Some stripping is to be done this fall.
 Should the trial shipment prove satisfactory year from now ma chinery for production on large scale will be installed. Lingo and Worcester believe they can build up sizeable industry.
 Peat is much in demand as fer tilizer, for chicken litter and is al- so used n the manufacture of an insula ting material.
 While in the States last winter MT. Lingo spent four months inves- tigating the market and found there is a possibility of exporting from 15,000 to 10000 tons of peat annually from Alaska. It is estimated over 2,000, 900 tons of peat are available at the College holdings.

state have been included in the
March report of the Delaware
farm egg record club, which has
been prepared by H. S. Palmer, ex-
tension poultryman of the Univers-
ity of Delaware, and mailed from
the county extension offices to
those poultrymen who are cooper
ating in this project by keeping
egg records of their focks each
month. The eighty-one poultry
raisers in Kent county who re-
quested the 1930-1931 poultry cal
endars upon which to keep their
egg production records received
their copies of the March report a
few days ago from the Office of
county agent Russell E. Wilson
who has been cooperating with the
poultry specialist in this project
ever since it was started six years
ago on statewide basis. Accord
ing to this report the average pro-
duction of the 25,485 pullets for
March was 16.9 eggs per bird,
while that of the 1924 hens was
14.5 aggs. as compared to 16.4
eggs per bird from the 1887 pull
lets and hens in mixed f1ocks dur
ing this same period. The produc-
ton for March, 1880, was 17.3 eggs
per pullet, and 1853 eggs per hen,
rs
consisting of both pullets and hens
averaged 1913 eggs per bird, which
corresponds very closely to the
production record for March of this
year In addition to the statisti-
cal part of this egg report, the at
tention of the poultrymen has been
called to the symptoms and pre-
vention of coccidiosis which is re-
garded as very troublesome dis
ease in many of the fiocks through
out this country. In presenting
the facts concerning this disease,
H. R. Baker, poultry pathologist of
the State Board of Agriculture,
states that since there is no medi-
cal treatment yet found which will
cure this trouble, treatment and
prevention depend upon proper
sanitary and diet measures, and
application of those methods which
will break up the life cycle of the
coccidiosis organism. AS preven-
tive measures against the spread
of this disease it is recommended
that the droppings be cleaned up
at least every other day from
around the brooder stoves, and the
yard around the brooder house
continually cultivated and lined,
in addition to the placing of disin-
festant in the drinking water. Not
more than $50 to 400 chicks should
be placed in one group, and the
chicks should be fed good nutri
tious diet in order to build up a
stronger resistance to this disease.
The litter on the brooder house
floor should be kept dry, as the
organisms of coccidiosis cannot
develop into the infective stage if
no moisture is present, and each
house should also have plenty of
ventilation at all times

ARGENTINE GOVT
TO BURN GRAIN
Thousands in Cities
Starving

With thousands of Argentinian
workers starving in the cities, the
Argentine government is proposing
plans to burn millions of tons of corn
A New York Times dispatch (March
800 from Buenos Aires says:
1.-THE prices for corn of the new
crop have reached a level so low that
there is serious movement on foot
to burn large part of the crop as
fuel in factories and electric light
plants"
The plan is to burn up 100000
tons of corn, the major portion of
this years crop. The price of corn
in Argentina is 35 cetns bushel, a
level at which the farmers cannot
even begin to pay their rent to the
landowners. There is already an
overproduction of corn, and thous-
ands starve.
The farmers are leaving the land by
the thousands. Especially the tenant
farmers who find that if they har-
vested their crops there would not
even be enough to pay the landlords
have left their farms and gone tc
the cities. In many instances they
leave the crop standing, and the land
lords cannot harvest the crop, as the
cost merely of harvesting it would
be greater than the price obtained ir
the market.
The prices of wheat and flaxseeo
also have declined to new low levels
This is intensifying the crisis in Ar
gentina and pushing the masses OF
workers and farmers closer to star
walton and ruin.

can cut the deepest.
Wages range from 81 cents per ton
to So cents. The higher figure is only
10 cents under the old union scale.
But more OF the mines are down near
the lower figure. Even the same coal
company has not the same rate in all
OF its mines. 1t all depends on how
much they think the miners will
stand for. They push the rate down
to the point Of rebellion, and then
wait a little, before they try to push
lower. If the miners organize in the
National Miners Union, the only
union that fights for higher rates,
the operators do not dare to cut so
far.
U. NJ. w. Aids Cutting.
In unorganized mines, or those
where the miners are simply branded
as members Of the United Mine
Workers Of America" and the oper-
ators turn over the regular check-off
to the bureaucracy in that union, all
sorts Of wage cuts are tried. One
scheme Is to cut "by categories."
They cut one group of miners after
another. No one knows for sure what
his wages are while he works. Wage
cuts take place all the time, and you
never know anything about it until
your pay day comes around and you
lind your wages have been cut a
couple of weeks ago, without YOUR
being told anything about it at all.
The old practice of posting a wage
cut notice, announcing when it is
going to take place, has been given
up by the companies. In 1880 there
were three main wage cuts, averag-
ing about Is per cent. In 1881 there
have been two main cuts, and more
are taking place.
The figures for Ohio show that in
1928, the total wages paid in mines
were $7l,Oo0,000. In 1929, the total
wages paid were $23, 100000. Thus in
six years, by official figures, there
was a wage reduction in this state
Of Sc per cent.
In West Virginia, where wages are
lowest, the figures are hard to get
but the reduction has certainly beer
more than in Ohio.
These are all direct cuts, tmpos,
sible to conceal from the miners, al
least after the first pay day follow,

direct cuts. The whole question O.
indirect cuts must be left for an.

WEST FRANKFORT, Ill, By
MaiD The latest development in the
Lewis ishwick swindle is that Alex
Howat and Ameringer of the Illinois
''Reorganized U. M. W." with Frank
Keeney and his following in West
Virginia, are trying to form a new
organization, to take the place Of the
"Reorganized" since that racket has
been sold back to Lewis by Fishwick
and his crowd.
So far about 20 locals Cor rather
their Howat off1cials) are endorsing
the call for an international con-
vention," to meet in st. Louis, Mo,
about the middle of April.
Among those signing the call, is
sued by Howat, are william Daech of
Illinois and Powers Hapgood, two who
betrayed the old progressive move
ment in the U. M. W., the "Save-The-
Union" movement, at a critical time
as indeed, Howat did too.
Watt Signs Call.
Another signing the call is John
Watt, once president Of the National
Miners Union, and expelled by that
organization when he was discovered
building a personal machine, and
adopting Lewis policies.
Others on the list Of signers are
William Stephenson of Michigan,
william TruaX of Ohio, James john
son of Illinois, and Frank Keeney OF
West Virginia. These latter are all
members Of the 1926 "Save-The-
Union" progressive movement, but did
not take part in the much more vi
gorous and realistic revival of that
movement in 1928, which led to the
formation of the National Miners
Union. Keeney in addition has some
black marks of bureaucratism and
graft charges against him in the u
M. W., of which ne was once a dis
trict president. Keeney was one OF
those officials who tried to stop the
heroic Mingo and Logan county
marches in 1922.
1t is said that Keeney has wired
Howat that his following in West
Virginia will send rs delegates to
Howat's conference.
The main other strength for the
Howat movement comes from a local
gathering at Staunton, Ill, held on
March 22nd.

The mayor Of Gallon, where the
marching delegates will stop over

the local unemployed he will see that
lodging is provided for the hunger
marchers. He is also organizing a
Citizens fund" to supply the march
ers with food while they are In Gal

The reply from Columbus was curt
and entirely unsatisfactory. City
Clerk Samuel j. Willis replied that
the matter of providing lodging and
food to the unemployed Imarchers
"waS considered by the service COM
mittee of the city council at regular
meeting Of March % and the under
signed was directed to inform you
that there are no funds whatsoever
available which might be used for
that purpose" A protest meeting is
being called by the Unemployed
Council in Columbus and renewed
demands will be made upon the coun-
Gil to use public buildings for hous-
ing the jobless delegates.
Akron Tag Day.
In Akron, the matter of providing
food and lodging was referred by the
city council to its welfare commit
tee. This body announced it as their
opinion that public funds should not
be used for feeding the hunger
marcherS". It stated, however, that
the marchers might use the city bar
racks in the old post Office for lodg-
ing, when they stop over the night
of April II. A tag day is being or
gained for April II and IL in Akron
by the Unemployed Councils to raise
funds for the food which the city
council is unwilling to supply to the
marchers.
Much interest in the march is be-
ing displayed in Massilon, home
town of General Coxey," leader of
that other march of the unemployed
which was known as "Coxey's Army"
Mayor Johns stated that he will see
that lodging is provided for the
marchers( and the City Council will

Last Saturday, thousands of Negro
