trify agriculture are being INSTALL
ed-an event of worldwide histori-
cal importance, which will serve
TO destroy the disparity existing
between town and village.
Can the enemies of the Soviet
Union deny all this? No. The
capitalists not only do not deny it
but they shout from the house
tops that these successes of So
cialism in agriculture will bring
about the downfall of capitalism.
The Social-Democrats try to throw
the shadow of calumny upon COL
lectivizatiOn. They rave about
forced labor" about how the So
Wet government is driving" the
peasants by force into the collec-
tive farms. The futility of such
calumny is obvious In order to
force the peasants to increase the
sown area, one would have to sta
ton an armed soldier behind each
peasant. Half the peasantry would
work and the other half would
stand and watch them work-tht
work would not go farl But there
is yet another fact that directly
refutes all this calumny. The in.
flux Of peasants from the village,
to the towns has considerably di.
minished. Unlike the American
farmer, the Soviet collective peas
and does not flee from hunger in
to the factories. He prefers tO re
main in the village and work i,

this revolution serves only to in
crease the army of unemployed

Machines Help Russian Peasant
The ruling workers provide the
peasantry with hundreds Of thous-
ands of complicated machines, a.
bout which the peasants of capi-
talist countries would not even
dare to dream. Already this year
there are 1,040 tractor stations at
the service of the collective farm
ers. The Soviet Union is the chief
buyer of tractors in America but
it has already begun large scale
production of its own tractors, its
own combines, complicated thresh-
ing machines, new machines fol

Growth of Collective Farms

Growth of Collective Farms
The following facts indicate how
the toiling peasants answered the
appeal of the working class for
socialism in the fields. During the
past year the Communist Par
ty decided tc bring the number OF
collectivized peasant farms up to
so Der cent of the total Madnessl
shouted the Social Democrats,
when it was a mere question of
25 per cent by the end of the Five
Year Plan. The first half of the
year passed by. What were the
collectivization figures? Sixty per
cent? This is the average thruout
the Union. But in some districts,
those which give the majority of
the grain for the market, all
round, 100 per cent collectivization
has been achieved. Not only has
the kulak disappeared but the in
dividual farmer is disappearing,
and the words "bednyak" (pool
peasant) and 'serednyaR (middle

Republican Party Prohibition Plank

The Republican party convention which is

of the masses in the fall elections by an anti
prohibition plank in the platform. However, in
srder not to ALLEVIATE the support of some of its
dry capitalist support, the plank will probably be

Both major capitalist parties are using the

cuts, relief for the tOiling farm masses, and the

Landlords Kept Peasants Ignorant
The landlords and their lafkeys
tried to make idiots of the peas
ants. They created in the village
an ideal environment for so-called
peasant idiocy"-in other words,
for the narrow mindedness Of the
peasantry, their inability to take
a wider view of things and to un-
derstand uheil own role, to grasp
their own position in regard to
the larger issues of the class war
and the means of agricultural de-
velopment.

into power freed the peasants
from this peasant idiocy;" and it

ample, who are the idiots. 1t is

dispute whether it is possible tc
use industrial methods in peasant
agricultural economy, or If it is
possible to collectivize peasant
farms. Actual facts are the proof
and only lunatics suffering fror

idiocy can dispute this point.

WILLIE BROWN HELD FOR
EXECUTION

But here's some news that isn't
so good. Another Negro boy has
been framed up and sentenced to
death for something he didn't do.
In Philadelphia this time.
His name is Willie Brown and
he is only 16 years old. Talk a
bout frame up. Here's one Of
the most beautiful examples.
Sometime in February 1882, a 7
year old white girl named Dorothy
Lutz was found brutally murder
ed in a deserted house in Philadel-
phia. The only clues were some
strands of hair that MIGHT have
belonged to the murderer.
For weeks the police tried to
find the guilty man. Assistant
superintendent of police, LeStrang
made this statement:
"The police possess no descrfD-
ton of the slayer. No one has
been able to give us a description
of even a suspect; we believe
however, that the crime was COM
mitted by either a dark skinned
white man or a light skinned Ne
gro."

Resistaice of Rich Farmers
Overcome
The kulaks Immediately under
stood the situation, saw that the
game was up and showed it by
the desperate resistance which
they offered. They began to de-
stroy cattle, thereby causing great
losses to the cause of collectiviza
ton. Thanks to the kulaks and
their agitation, cattle breeding is
now the only sphere of agricul-
ture which is definitely backward.
The class enemy rubbed his hands
with glee, and exaggerated the
difficulties which the Soviet Union
began to experience in connection
with draft oxen, meat, milk, but
ter and leather. But the govern
ing workers do not cry over spilled
milk but double their efforts to
overcome the difficulties which
face them. With inspiration and
enthusiasm the Land of the So
viets has taken up the work of
organizing large scale cattle
breeding on the Soviet and collec-
tive farms; and already this year
the number of cattle in the Social
ist sector alone is half as large

Teachers Robbed 10 Paw Relief

The teacher of New York have been robbed
of nearly $2,225OOO during the past two academic
years 0y the capitalist class in order to provide
relief for the school children of the city. By JAN
uary 1888 the total taken from the teachers will
rise to almost three million dollars according to
F. D. Chambers, treasurer of the School Relief
Fund
"The school relief system extends
help in field which is not covered, and
cannot be covered. by the existing chari-
table relief agencies Chambers said.
|'I am sure our relief viii continue una
bated as hong as there is need for II, pro

be reduced our relief work would certain
ly collapse. The teachers and other en-
plOyeeS giving mach more than
the equivalent of their mandatory increas-
es. In effect, their contributions amount

This hypecrite supports this plundering of the
teachers salaries on the grounds that the relief
could not be obtained in any other way, in other
words to save the capitalist class from paying the
relief. He admits that the entire school relie1
system is built on the teachers and that it amounts

Amount of Skimmilk to
Balance Grain Ration

Almost all farmers recognize skim,
milk as a splendid supplemental feed
for pigs, because of it's high protein
value and it's mineral content. Some.
times the question comes up as to how
much skimmilk must be fed to bal
ance the grains fed to growing pigs
Two to three pounds of undiluted milk
for every pound of grain in the ration
will furnish all the protein and min
erals necessary. Three pounds of milk
to one pound Of grain usually is the
most desirable proportion. More than
five pounds of skimmilk per pound of
grain usually gives much less econom-
ical returns.
One of the best ways to be certain
of the proper balance is to self-feed
the grain and give the pigs all the
skimmilk or buttermilk they will con-
sumo. Buttermilk also is about equal
to the skinned product in feeding
value. 1t is best to guard against
changing from sweet to sour milk, as
this often causes pigs to scour. There
is some danger of scours in pigs from
one month to three months of age if
fulfilled on milk in rainy weather.

Practices That Add to
Productivity of Farm

Differences in earnings of more than
$4,000 per farm have been revealed in
farm record studies in the state OF, Illi-
nois during the past five years. Prac-
tees which help give the higher in
comes with little or no cash outlay
involve the use of high yielding seeds
tested for termination, preparation of
good seedbeds and control of weeds,
crop diseases and insects, growing Of
higher profit crops and protecting the
stands by proper cultivation, feeding
of balanced rations and controlling of
live stock diseases, doing farm jobs
at the proper season, making careful
use of all manure, producing accord
ing to markets and keeping farm ac-
counts
Other practices which require time
or expense, but which helped increase
the average income in the Illinois sur
vey were the use of limestone where
needed. growing of legumes in good
crop rotation, use of phosphate and
potash where possible. proper arrange
ment of field systems and provision of
good drainage. keeping of high produc-
ing live stock which are fitted to the
farm, and development of large
enough business to profitably utilize
all labor, power and neutrality-suspicious.
