INTEREST GROWS
in DAILY WORKER
Says Farmers Now
Seek Real News
by a Worker Correspondent

OMAHA, Neb-Tn regard to the ef-
feet that the distribution of the
copies Of the Daily Workers contain
ing the correspondence from farmers
has on the individual farmers, I think
it is good. While some apparently
resent the revolutionary approach,
there is a real keen interest in gen.
eral amongst the farmers on what is
going on, in a militant way, over the
country. This interest has been espe-
oially noticeable since the Washington
conference.
We must remember that many of
these farmers have never set eyes on
anything but capitalistic literature in
their lives. The Daily Worker is a
new thing to them, and we are glad
to say that the time has come when
Reality makes the farmers give her
their attention, and the Daily Worker
carries the stuff that comes under
the title Reality.
Read Less Trash
Also, the farmers have very little
money for literature these days, and
so the subscriptions for Western
Trails Detective Stories" and all
hat uncomfortable trash is falling off
very fast. The rural deliveries don't
carry much mail to the farmers, like
in the old days when postage rates
were lower and many business insti-
buttons tnow dead or dying sent out
numerous almanacs, catalogues, etc,
which kept the farmer busy.
No, the farmer doesn't get so per
cent Of the reading matter" that
he used to get. And again, thou
sands Of farmers who used to be reg
ular subscribers for some city daily
90 not get any paper today-not even
the small town weekly papers. Many
farm weekIieS ceased publication long
ego and many others are ready to
fold up
So I find that it is a good plan
TO pass out my extra copies of the
Daily Worker which contains the spe-
cial Worker Correspondence Section
on farmers letters from the whole
country, to the farmers about Satur-
I day. so that the farmer will have
something to read on Sunday. And
farmers read it, you can depend on
that! 1t is doing some good. I shall
continue to send for bundles Of is
sues containing farm letters from
time to time and distribute them as
1 have been doing

For A Real Militant
Milk Strike Struggle
(By a Farmer Correspondent

DEERBROOK, Wis.-There Is talk
of another milk strike being con-
templated for Wisconsin.
The chances for winning a higher
price are endangered because the in
stigator of the strike, the Farmers
Holiday Association" is not farm
organization. It is a middleman
bankers outfit backed by the local
yellow press. If the strike was led
by the United Farmers League"
something could be accomplished.
For the farmers to win a higher
rate, they should compel Borden or
other dairy capitalists to pay out of
their profits and not permit them to
pass 1t on to the consumer.

Their pay checks will read for the

In addition to having Is per cent

This morning when Smith went to
the corner grocery after tin of Clipped
beef and a loaf Of bread he allowed
Nick, as Smith had dubbed him, to
carry home the food in paper sack
Nick was delighted to serve his rev
master. When the two reared home a
cat darted across Nick's path. The
police dog, only a year old, was sorely
tempted.
He took one jump after the cat,
then stopped in his tracks and glanced
at Smith for orders. Here. Nick!"
said Smith, and Nick came to heel at
once.
Last night Smith took the dog to
police headquarters. There was no tag
to show his ownership and Smith
was assured he could keep the dog
unless the former master turned up
with a clear indentification.
Several persons already have called
with offers to buy the dog, but not
from Smith Look at the way he
minds me- said Smith, hes my dog
already"
And Nick barked his approval.

lITVINOFF REPORTED
AGAINST TROTSKY
Said to Have Refused to Intercede
at Moscow About Lifting
Exile Order.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 3.-Leon Trotsky was
reported yesterday to have failed in a
desperate effort to get the Soviet for
eign commissar, Maxim Litvinof. to
help him return to Moscow.
The exiled Russian revolutionary,
who is sojourning With Nine. Trotsky
near Royat, France, was said to have
sent representatives to the commissar
at Royat, asking Litvinoff to intercede
in Trotskv's behalf.
Litvinoff, reports said, refused to help
him.
Trotsky, whose home is on Prinkipo
Island, left Istanbul July 18 for Mar
seille to undergo medical treatment for
his ailing heart.
A few days ago French and Spanish
reports said Trotsky might be recon-
ciled with Moscow and be named
Soviet Ambassador to Spain, but these
rumors were officially denied in the
Russian capital

last night at the White House:
At the same time President
Roosevelt confirmed reports that
he would not ask the extra SEES
sion of congress for power to
seek reciprocal tariff pacts with
other nations. He pointed out
that virtually the same work
could be carried out by the dele
CATION.
The mission also has been
given authority to arrange for
Individual tariff conferences be-
tween the United States and
other nations with reciprocal
agreements as the objective. 1t
was made clear, however, that
sub-bi-lateral treaties would be
worked out in Washington, the

TRUCK SALES
ON new BASIS
Potatoes, Produce 10 Be
Sold In Future By
Weight, Not Bulk
By J. c. BASKERVILLE
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June l0.-POtato
growers and truck producers gen
orally should benefit more than
almost any other class from the
changes made in the weights and
measures laws in the closing days
Of the 1888 general assembly, 1T
was pointed out today by c. d.
Baucom. state superintendent of
weights and measures. This new
law. which also changes the ad-
miniStratiOn of the law from the
department of agriculture to the
department of revenue, provides
that all dry measure shall hence
forth be discontinued and every
thing sold on a weight basis. This
provision alone should save the
potato growers of the eastern
Fart of the state from 100000
to 100000 a year, and other
truck growers preportiOnato
amount, Raucom believes.
The potato growers have lost
heavily for years because Of the
use of the dry measure system,
especially as applied to barrels,
rather than the weight basis,
Raucom said. For while the fed
eral law says that a barrel is full
when filled to within one and one
eighth inches of the top of a
stave, the potato packers and buy
ers insisted that they fill the bar
rels eight inches above the top,
thus adding about X pounds more
of potatoes to each barrel than
required by law. The packers in
sisted this was to allow for
shrinkage, according to BaucOm.
But the real reason was that the
fuller the barrels. the better the
price per barrel obtained. since
the merchants that bought the
potatoea eventually knew they
were getting about Is pounds
more per barrel than they were
really paying for.
But under this new law, pota-
toes of all kinds, beets, cabbage,
carrots, and everything hereto,
fore sold by the peck or bushel,
must now be sold by the pound
BaucOm pointed out, so that the
farmers will get paid for the &C,
tual number of pounds sold, and
no more. If barrel contains zoe
pounds of potatoes, the farmer
will get paid for 200 pounds, and
not 1875 pounds, while the mer,
chant will buy 200 pounds, ne
more and no less. If a barrel con,
tains only IT'S pounds of potatoes
he will be paid for that amount
The same will apply to other truck
usually sold by the peck or bush.

Rising grain markets were
given further encouragement yes
terday upon the government fore
cast of an unusually short win

since 1904.

mates as Of June 1 indicated a

bushels last year and an aver
age annual production through

Unofficial observers read from

possibilities:
1. A total 1888 wheat crop
of about 6O5,000,O0O bushels or
less;
2. Complete discard of farm
