FARMERS AND WORKERS WILL
DEMAND IMMEDIATE RELIEF
UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE RALLY TOMNG FARM MASSES
AGAINST BANKERS HUNGER PROGRAM
NEW YORK.-What i

NEW 1OKk.-What is
in store for the workers of
every leading city in the
United States in the way of
sharp cuts in the meagre
city unemployment relief is
strikingly shown by the ac-
ton of Tammany Hail,
working together with the
leading Wall Street bankers
headed by Morgan and Co. A Sc
cret meeting was held Sunday in
the home of Charles E. Mitchell,
chairman of the National City
Bank, a Morgan institution in
which the main issue was cutting
down on relief for the unemployed.
The bankers were successful in
getting the Tammany administra-
ton to cut their relief program
from $19,00O,000 to $1,0OO,OO0 to
provide for 100000 unemployed
workers and their families.
The action in New York will
be followed in every city in the
United States, as the bankers
who determine the financial pol
icy of New York City control
the financial policy of all the
other cities.
This is the prospect the unem-
ployed workers have before them
as the February 4 demonstrations
throughout the country for unem-
ployment insurance draws near.
In Chicago and New York the
cities are faced with financial
crisis. In Chicago the Emmersor
Relief Committee cut down relief
by one-half and directed a vicious
attack against the unemployed, il
which over 100 were arrested anC
many viciously beaten.
In New York, 70 so-called HON,
relief stations were closed ant
when they were reOpened, afte
the bankers program was adopt
ed, the amount of relief was Gu
down and the number to whom re
lief was furnished was sharpl

WILL ATTACK
SOVIET UNION
NEXT SPRING
SCRIPPS-HOWARD DITOR
ADMITS JAPANESE STAFF
HAS ATTACK PREPARED

Open admission that an imperi-
alist attack on the Soviet Union
is planned for this coming spring
at the latest is again made in a
dispatch from Washington. The
dispatch is from William Philip
Simms, Scripps- Howard foreign
editor, who declares that "the Far
East is on the verge of an explo-
sion which may rock the world"
He continues:
'This d0vetaiIs with informa-
ton reaching the capital over the

may clash in the spring-not be-
cause Russia wants it, but be-
cause the Japanese general staff,

Ors the MikadO's arms"
It is not merely the Japanese
general staff, as Simms tries to
make out, who desires war against
the Soviet Union. 1t is the whole
camp Of imperialist robbers who
are plotting a new world slaughter
. as a way out of the terrific econ
J omic crisis of capitalism, and who
seek to convert both China and
the Soviet Union into colonies to

Molasses Not Shown to
Be of Especial Value

Molasses added at the rate of one
half and one pound daily per steer
calf increased feed consumption and
gains in a test recently completed
at the Ohio experiment station.
Twenty head of steer calves were
used in each lot, and all were fed
for a period of 40 weeks.
They were then appraised by rep
resentatives of four markets, and
their returns were computed on the
basis of the average of these ap-
praisals.
The lots receiving the molasses
consumed more corn than the check
lot. They also gained more rapidly.
Lot = outgained lot ! about 40
pounds per steer, although the men
from the market did not consider
them any fatter. Molasses seems
to make calves grow more.
If a feeder is interested in rapid
ity of gains, molasses may help to
get it. From an economy point of
view. it is a case of feeders choice.

Rape for Hogs

Rape is one of the best pasture
crops for hogs. 1t does better in
cool weather. and may be seeded
early in the spring. To secure the
greatest returns per acre. the crop
should not be pastured too closely.
1t Is preferable TO have two or
three separate lots and alternate

essary for good results.
Five to seven pounds of seed per
acre is the usual rate of seeding.
