NEW TARIFF PUTS
IRISH DAIRY COWS
DOWN BELOW $40

As a result of the increased
British import tariff on Irish Free
State livestock the price of dairy
COWS has fallen to 8 pounds which
at current rates of exchange is
about 1890. Prices are so low
now that the farmers will get
practically nothing out of their
cattle if they do sell.
The government collected about
$4,000 pounds in duties on 1000
head of cattle that were shipped
from the Free State into northern
Ireland in order to avoid paying
the new import duties. The new
duties are 40 per cent as compared
with the old duties of 20 per cent
The new rates went into effec'

ALL FOR SOCIALIST
COMPETITION

Almost all the workers have gone
in for socialist competition. Be
sides competing with each other,
the brigades have challenged the
neighboring collective farm. A COM
mission was sent there to check
up on their preparations for the
sowing campaign and they, in turn
sent a similar commission to cur
farm. They thought our brigade
No. 5 was the best, for that bri-
gade came cut into the field clever
minutes before the set time, every
man with his tools; it also had the
set number of horses, sewers anC
harness and the necessary stock Of
seeds.
Such enthusiasm led each work
er to try and surpass the other il
his work. Piece work was intro
duced without a hitch. We ha'
tried it before, in 1880, at harves
time, but failed because we go

Now each collective farmer know
the standard rates for each branc
of work.

PIECE WORK AND PLAN

Our collective farm is a big IN
dertaking and each member must
be acquainted with its working
plan. He must know the plan fol
each section and his own part in
the plan. 1t was hard to arrange,
but we did it. By the second
spring we were organized. The
division into brigades helped a
great deal. For example, the re-
pairing brigade started repairs in
the beginning of January. The
plan of repairs was worked out
and drawn up beforehand. Each
field brigade was attached to {
definite workshop for repairs. The
plan was discussed at a general
meeting of the repairing brigade
which put up a counter plan. This
workshops entered into socialis
competition and the foremen diC
likewise. The plan was topped b.
35 per cent and the work wa
done in two months instead OF
three.

SHOCK BRIGADE, WORK
(BY IVAN IVANOVICH SURNIM)
A Poor Peasant Before Joining the Collective
Farm, Born In 1892

We started the idea Of collec-
tive farming in 1929. Some en-
listed at once, some wavered, but
after the kulak marketing-garden
ing assc citation was broken W
everybody wanted to join our
farm. Only 80 or 40 individuals
remained.
On joining the collective farm
l gave up my horses and colt and
my cart to become common prop
e1ty. l was appointed stableman
and given thirteen horses to tend
AS soon as l had joined the col
lective farm, 1 said to myself
everything that we have is our
ncw and what we do not have, We
will get.
At first there was trouble wit
the fodder; still when the fielC
work was over the horses were in
very good condition. When they
were put to Craze was given
other work to do; piling up lum-
Der, gardening, wedding. l have
been a shock brigader since last
summer. Until them we know
nothing about shock brigade work
but we do now. Our third squad
is a shock-squad and all the Others
are following its example.
BECAME SHOCK BRIGADERS
Last year many of the peasant
about 90, were for leaving the col
lective farm. 1t was then that
we became shock brigaders. Thos
. who had left saw that all the wor
}, had been done in spite of thei
}, leaving and many of them wante
e to join again.
Then came the second Bolshevi
