316,569 have been mailed out to
wheat farmers in 10 states as pay

age. Farmers in the larger wheat
producing states are yet to be paid.
The checks are for the first two
payments being made to farmers
who agree to reduce their acreage
by Is per cent. The first pay
ment, says the AAA, is at the
rate of 20 cents a bushel on the
allotment each farmer receives
The second payment of eight cents

providing there is anything left
after the cost of administering tbs

new RELIEF AGENT
PICKS WRONG MAN
By a Farmer Correspondent


WILTON, Minn.lThe new Re-
lief Agent arrived here and star
vation is in order now. The work.
ers ard farmers that were on re-
lief before are forced to get along
on one dollar to three dollars per
month. No clothing is being
given out. When a farmer, Henry
Krumery, was talking in front of
the relief office about the damn
able conditions that existed here,
he was singled out by the new Re
lief Agent, L. Fisk, who threat
ened to beat him up. But Fisk
failed to pick out the right party
to beat up. When they went down
to the alley where the Agent had
asked Mr.. Krumery to come, he
had to back down. He may have
remembered that the farmer was
an ex-blacksmith.
The United Farmers League OF
Beltrami county has protested to
the Farmer-Labor Governor of
Minnesota about the methods used
by said relief agent. His answer

to death, because they are work

against the working people. If
they die, it is a victory for the
robbers and exploiters who lynch
and Jail in order to keep their
high places and their wealth. 1t

figures are even more gloomy. Of
the 28,887, 100 acres of land de-
voted to agriculture and ranching
in the state, only 11,27O,166 acres
are operated by farmers who own
the land. In brief, 80 per cent of
the land is operated by owners;
70 per cent of the land is operated
by renters.
The land operated by tenants is
held not only by insurance COM
panies, land companies and banks
which have foreclosed mortgages,
but also by the State, through its
Rural Credit Department, which
has also not hesitated to foreclose
delinquent farms. The county
governments hold much of the land
for delinquent taxes.
The fact that hundreds of thou
sands of acres are off the tax lists
has brought about what the ex'
perte call "a breakdown OF the
! taxing system" Funds from taxes
levied against the land Of small
and middle farmers are no longer
