President Allebach, of the Inter

posed to promote the interests of
the dairy farmers), had been chal-
lenged to appear at the meeting.
Mr.. Allebach, speaking for the
milk dealers, said:
"The dealers do not benefit by
the increase in prices of milk, SO
you cannot expect them to share
the loss in the decrease"

TELL MINERS IN
TENN. TOFARM
Campbell County Farmers
Are Facing Actual
Starvation

Coupled to the plight of farmers
who get no cash return for their
crops, is the unemployed miner
and city worker who is being urg-
ed by many business leaders to
go back to the farm. In Campbell
County, Tenn, these workers, and
many farmers, have actually faced
starvation. Peliagara, caused by
malnutrition, has greatly increased
here, and emergency food relief is
what people are depending upon.
A general farmer tells the story:
Things are bad here now-the
worst l have ever seen them. OF
course it's the miners that are
hardest hit, working only a day OF
two a week at 81 and 81 a day,
and they have to trade at company
stores.
Back to the Farm Doesn't Work
"People talk a lot about "back
to the farm" but it doesn't worE
around here at least. Lots of the
miners have forgotten how tt
farm. It costs so much to star
a man with feed, fertilizer ant
tools, and there's no place to ge
the money. There are no houses
left either. Most of the minerl
have gardens, but that not enough
Almost all of them have to hav'

workers in the pasteurization
plants and for the milk drivers.
At the end of the meeting, after
a long debate between Mr.. Allie
bach, and the farmer speakers, an
expression of opinion was called
for as to whether the dealers were
paying fair prices. In reply, there
was unanimous shout of dis
approval.
Whereupon an executive commit
tee of farmers was elected and the
organization given form.

The hilly counties of Tennessee

70 CENT WHEAT
COST IN OKLA.
Even Exceptional Yields In
1881 Garfield County
Produced at Loss

The average cost of producing
wheat on SO farms in Garfield
county, Oklahoma, in 1881 was so
cents a buskel, according to sta
tistics made public by the Okla
home Agricultural experiment sta
ton. This figure was arrived at
by charging interest at five per
cent on land VALUED AT ONE
THIRD LESS THAN 1T WAS
THREE YEARS AGO. While the
lstatisticians very kindly reduced
the value of the land by one-third
in their figuring the mass of the
farmers in Oklahoma, as thruout
the rest of the United States, are
paying interest not on the present
value of their farms but on the
basis of three or five or more
years ago. This would raise the
cost in Garfield county appreciably
above the fifty-cent level especially
since the impoverished farmers
pay a lot more than the five per
cent that the statisticians used in
figuring.
Average Yield Means 20 Cent
Wheat
The yield on which the above
costs were figured was much
above the average, 20.4 bushels
per acre, in this county during
1881. With an average yield Of
Is per cent, that is, the average
yield in this area during the past
no years, the cost per bushel would
have been 70 cents, the Expert
ment Station statisticians art
forced to admit.
! The cost of production this yea
will be appreciably above the 81
cent level of 1881 since the vel,
l..
is closer to the 10 year averag,
and much lower than the TO-
bushel yield of 1881.
With the price of wheat on tn
farm at the present time, at abou
% to 30 cents bushel it is prett
easy to figure the profits" of tn
Oklahoma farmer producing at z
cents a bushel. While his return

Pointing to his table, the farm
er proved to the 800 dairymen

passed on in full to the farmers.
He showed that down to July, of
1882, the spread of profit for the

July the dealers did take a cut, he
said, but this loss Of revenue had

Workers Have Built Riches
of County
The County Poor commissioner,
A. P. Cook, who admitted choking
the spokesman of the group, de-
clared at the trial of Sam X. Da-
Wis, who was the one arrested,
that single men have been refused
relief by himself and the city flop
house, known as the Bethel" He
added that single men "don't want
to work" He declared further
that there are many single men
applying for relief who are
"aliens" and pronounced the word
as though it was poison. Yet the
foreign-born workers testified to
working in the mines, forests, on
the railroads for twenty years Of
more.
These single workers had helpeC
build up the enormous wealth O
st. Louis county which is regarde'
as one Of the richest in the Unite'
States and which contains the vii
Ilage of Hibbing, with the reputa
ton of being the richest village II

missioner Cook, who had fattene'

80 years as a public official de
clared on the witness stand tina
single men, and particularly the
Iforeign-born workers, had no RICH
to live. He offered no solution t.
their increasing misery and star
walton.
This same public official, Cook
has made capital out of the mis-
cry of the workers. From a sal
airy of $4,000 year in 1928, h
has had it increased to $4,000
year, or $14 for every working da
of the year. He testified, eff

PEIPINC MOVE
BY JAPANESE
Red Armies Near Hankow
as Nationalist Offensive
Fails IN Advance

The military movements of the
Japanese in northern China and
Manchuria which have been inten-
sified In recent weeks now threat
en- the city of Peiping in northern
China. The japanese like all of
the other imperialists have troops
stationed in the city and it is ex-
pected that these Japanese troops
may be ordered out of the city TO
cooperate with the troops moving
from the north in the attack on
the Chinese forces.
500 u. S. Marines in Peiping
The United States has 500 ma
rines located in the city at pres
ent. The capitalist class of the
United States is watching these
activities of the japanese imper-
ialists because an attack on Pei
ping would, like the attack on
Chinchow last winter bring the
Japanese troops into territory
in which the Wall Street bankers
are interested. The Hoover gov
eminent in Washington is being
kept in constant touch with thest
developments in order 10 be abb
to throw American farmers ant
workers sons, the 500 marines
against the Japanese loops to pro
Itect Wall Street rights.
Heavy, Japanese Troop MOvemen
Heavy Japanese troop concentra
tons have been reported in south
ern Manchuria, southeast of Pei
ping, and also along the Manchu1
. ian-Jehol border. The Japanese
troops in Peiping are supposed!
there for the protection of the Il

ready points out that the Japanes
might use these troops and the Il
cation as a basis for EXTENSIVE
military operations around Peipin
just as they did last winter i
