Of the farmers.
AS the Secretary of the North
land Milk Producers Association
stated: ''The striking farmers ap-
preciate the help and support
given by the United Farmers
League, Unemployed Council, and
Mesaba Range Coop Creamery
and all other organizations"
There is every reason to believe
that the farmers will win their
strike.

Dear Brothers:
IN response to your request that
/ report in the form Of a letter
on my observations and experience
while enroute to and from and
while attending the Second Farm
ers National Conference at Chi
cago Nov. 1913 am writing
these lines.
From PlentywOod we went to
Bergen, N. D., where we had a
fine meeting and picked up two
delegates. Very little crops there
and the farmers and workers
needing relief. Next stop was at
New Rockford. We think We are
hard up here but the farmers
there are worse off than US. They
have not had a seed loan or any
relief there to speak of and scarce
ly any better crop than here. Thes
were surely mad when we told
them what relief we had gotter
here. There was a big crowd anC
. they were demanding relief anC
it was promised to them. 1t seems
quite evident that people get re-
lief only in proportion TO the fight
they make for it.

ped an eviction just a few days
before we came and they have sucl

night getting farmers out to stoI
1 it and the sheriff met seventy

next morning. They sure have a.

must get ours on the same foot

for fuel. No crops. They hav
forced the county commissioners t

FARMERS NEED u. F. L.
WISE. FARMER SAYS
Grantsburg, Wis.

Grantsburg, WIS.
Dear SiTs:
Last night at a Farmers Union
meeting, I sold about 80 copies Of
the U. F. L. leaflets. l am going
to organize U. F. L. as soon as
arrangements can be made. The
farmers need an organization like
the United Farmers League where
they can be their own judge and
jury and not be led around by the
nose by some slippery tongued
orator as they 10 in many farm
organizations.

Weekly Organizational Letter


and Vermont have
written: "Send US organizational
supplies for we want to start to
organize the United Farmers
League in these states"
We are sending an army to
conquer new territory. We are
not, even sending an organizer.
The farmers will do their own or
ganizing. The Program of the
United Farmers League is being
recognized as correct by the farm
ers Of America. Our Principles
give correct guidance. So the
farmers are saying: eve want
to organize around the Program
of the United Farmers League
and in line with its Principles"
The farmers in Texas and in Ok
lahoma are making plans to start
organizing the United Farmers
League in those states.
We gloat over these achieve.
mente knowing that when Mr.
Ham Fish Of Wall Street and
Washington hears about them, he
will suffer worse "red" night
mare than he had during the New
York Milk strike.

The advice from our staff doc
tor will be not only for the women
but the womenfolk are the most
active in seeing to it that we all
keep in good health. Not only do
we want advice from the women
about this special page for them
but we want contributions right
now from them for the first spe
cial edition which we will issue
about January 18th.
Organizing the Women Folks
What we want is not just me-
nus, household hints, and so forth,
but also, and most Importantly,
how the farmers wives are en-
gaging in struggles to win better
living-conditions, helping in the
struggle to retain their homes, and
in relief struggles.
Each week we shall review the
price changes during the week and
give a concrete explanation OF
why the prices of the various
farm products have moved in the
way they have. Our location in
the farm market center of the
country will give Us an opportun-
ity to handle this feature IN the
most effective manner.
In the youth session held dur
ing the Farmers Second National
Conference it was proposed that
the youth have a page in the new
paper. On this we are all agreed.
The editorial staff of the paper
now calls for suggestions from the
youth as to what the youth corner
of the paper should contain and
for real contributions to that corn
er. We are thinking of sports
section for the youth. What kline
of sports are you Interested ir
now? What would you like tc
have reported?
Fiction and Light Material
We are already in touch with
some of the outstanding class-con
scious writers of the country tt
obtain for the paper short stories
rovele, serials, sketches. We viii
be able to get contributions from
these professional writers. VIVA
we want though, in addition, arr
short stories and sketches from
the farmers and their families
Many of you have ideas for stor
les. Sit down and write them out
Plays, poems, and such like, vii

Full Page of Pictures
We plan now on having a full
page of pictures, in addition t

A staff artist will do a conf
strip each week and will illustrat
the various stories throughout tn
paper. Every week in addition t

Butter Makers Told
To Raise Standards

Butter manufacturers have been
warned by the state food commits
sioner and officials of the regulatory
department that they will have to
conform to the law regulating stand
ards and moisture content or they
will be prosecuted.
In q letter to the butter makers
Food Commissioner G. s. Ladd states
that in a summary of analyses of
butter samples recently made in the
state laboratories, 40 per cent Of the
samples tested were found to be
either short in weight or contrary to
the legal standard in the amount Of
water and milk fat present.
Officials Of the regulatory depart
ment warn manufacturers that this
condition must be corrected il prose-
cution is to be avoided, as informa-
ton regarding concerns selling short
weight or below standard butter is to
be laid before states attorneys in the
counties where the samples were OBJ
tanned. The states attorney has no
discretionary power, the letter states,
as the law makes it his duty to in
stitute proceedings in the proper
court.

President OF Cuba
Wants War Leader
AS His Successor

which has turned into q revolution
ary movement, the food shortage is
fast becoming acute.
The party's executive committee
adopted the resolution against Welles
Thursday, declaring the American en-
voy's activities for peace in the last
few weeks were prejudicial to Cuban
sovereignty, but later named three
leaders to redraft the strong pro-
nouncement.
Will Re-word Measure
In congressional halls, subsequently,
the impression prevailed that the
three men, Senator Jose Barcelo Of
Oriente Province, would re-word the
measure so as to leave the party
nominally opposed to "intermeddling"
but giving Machado a way out.
However, the belief was widely en-
tertained that the president would
soon give a definite reply to the
American ENJOYS proposal for Ma
chado's withdrawal.
Ambassador Welles, attacked and
defended for his efforts, meanwhile
became the storm center Of the Gu
ban political tumult, which entered
the stage of passive revolution with
the spread of general strike.
Members of the conservative and
popular parties said they approved
Welles' conferences with government
tai and opposition representatives,
from which came suggestions for po-
ntical reforms.
Is Acting for Roosevelt
Welles said he was acting with
President Roosevelt's support. Ma
chado himself has said he will not
give up his office-that he has lived
in this republic and that he intends
to die here.
Significance was attached to a
scheduled interview Friday between
the ambassador and Secretary OF
State Orestes Ferrara, who drafted
the resolution.
High opposition sources were of the
opinion the next development might
be Machado's answer to President
Roosevelt's recent statement urging
economic considerations be placed
ahead Of political problems.
The army remained on duty in Ha-
vana for the third day but President
Machado, who on Monday decreed a
state Of war throughout the country,
said there is no special purpose or
significance" in 1t, being only q mat
ter of routine"
Police authorities announced a
strike Of street car men would end
Friday.
The food shortage became more
stringent. Soldiers helped distribute
certain commodities to hospitals. A
check Of groceries showed that only
rice and white beans were still In
stock, and that bread, butter, milk
and other staples were nearly nom
existent.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-08-11

and oats, the survey showed. The
flax crop, on q greatly reduced acre
age. was judged to be 43 per cent OF
average at July 81. The condition OF
the wheat crop was shown 10 pc 81
per cent Of average which, with the
exception of 1881, was the lowest fig-
ure at that date in the records OF
the bureau.
Coarse grains also suffered from
drought, the bureau reported, ana
prospects were for about two-thirds
of an average yield. Potatoes were
placed at "a per cent OF average.
Considering all crops, the yield pros
poets for 1888 were among the loWess
on record for Canada. :,
The yield per acre Of fall wheat
was placed considerably below that OF
1892 and, even with slight increase
in acreage, total production was
lower, 14,143,000 bushels compared
with 1902 900 bushels in 1892. Pro-
duction of fall rye in Canada IN 1888
was estimated at 100000 bushels
compared with $4,000 bushels last
year. This decline was attributed to
reduced acreage and yield per acre
in Saskatchewan.
The drought in eastern Canada
was held responsible for reduced pro-
duction Of hay and clover, which was
estimated at 11,093,0 900 tons for Cam
ada compared with 13,559,O00 tons
last year.
For all Canada, the condition OF
the principal field crops, expressed IN
percentages of the longtime average
yield per acre follow, with the condi-
ton for June 30, 1888, and July 81,
1882, in brackets: Spring wheat, 81
