Oklahoma Farmers Hit
By a Further Slump In
Prices of All Crops

Although the harvested acreage
of crops in 1881 was 40 greater
than in 1880 and practically the
same as in 1929, the total farm
value of all crops in 1881 was Is
per cent less than a year ago and
$3.50 less than in 1929. In 1881
the estimated total value of Okla
homa's principal crops was $685.
GAS, 900 compared with $124, 824,-
600 in 1880 and $2S9, $4,000 in
1929.
Returns from farm products
have been on the decline in Okla
homa since 1923. When the de-
preston brought about the disas-
trous slump in farm prices in 1890
the total farm value of crops fell
to 500 of the preceding pear.
This years crops were worth
1870 less. Prices of farm pro-
ducts hit pre-war levels last year;
nevertheless a further price de-
cline took place this year in evety
product grown on Oklahoma soil
Some prices dropped to as low as
500 of the already low prices OF
a year ago. Farm products ir
many instances have sold thi.
year at prices far below the cost
of production.

LITTLE LENIN NEVER FORGOT

Little Lenin came from school
gay and happy. He threw his
books on the table and ran to his
mother. But his mother stood
motionless, as if turned to stone,
with pale quivering lips, and tears
gushing from her eyes.
"Alexander-your brother, was
hanged"-came from her culver
ing mouth, in voice distinct and
even, as if coming from the very
depth of the earth-a voice of all
the oppressed and tortured and
hungry and jailed.
Hanged ?"-he half repeated
half questioned-"why 2"
"He was hanged" she answered
in the same voice, because he
demanded freedom and bread fol

peated little Lenin.

heaviness of his voice. Then thu
familiar little sparks, which wer'

He stood up erect, and calmly an,
firmly said: "By the blood of m,
brother, 1 pledge myself to carr,

lifetime, freedom and bread t

number of decisions passed by the

these organizations did not even
always answer the inquiries of the
Central Committee on the pro-

is due to an incorrect view of the

nizing little strikes = such as
strikes for shorter hours, higher
wages, and hot tea for the work
ers. And not only did he work
with the workers, but he wrote up
all these experiences so that other
workers could profit from them.
He was soon imprisoned for his
activities, and then exiled.
His experience in the 1905 Revo-
luton, helped him in 1917 to lead
the workers and peasants of Rus
STA to freedom. Lenin pointed out
to the workers in the World War
that they were fighting not for
themselves, but for their enemies
the bosses. After the so-called
democratic" government of Ker-

head Of the workers, established
the first workers and peasants

and farmers were free. The boss

12.5 to Is million acres of fallcw

acres of waste and fallow land. Ii

ed Immediately, and yet it is
wastefully disregarded. If we uti-
lie it within one or at most two
years, it will be possible for us to

strides toward the solution Of the

Besides this, we must take into
account that in the zone there are
great tracts of land suitable for
flax growing, while at present flax
is cultivated here only on 2 to Z
per cent of the total sown area
Is this not a waste? Even keep
ing in mind the famous theory
that flax draws an enormous am

we can still increase the flax
