We. the farm youth gathered at
the Farmers Second National Con-
ference. November 1918, at Chi
cago as a part of the farmers
movement, pledge to support and
struggle for all the demands Of
the Farmers Second National Con-
ference.
We realize that the new deal
offers us only unemployment, star
walton, and misery, with more thar
100000 of our numbers in the
breadlines, roaming the highways
and bi-ways of the nation. We
realize that the fight of our par
ents to stay on the land is also
our fight.
We Have Special Demands
However. as young people we
have special demands. Special
problems for which we must fight
and unite all farming and agricul-
tural youth on a broad united trent
of struggle.
Those of US who work in fac
tories. mines. shops, canneries,
beet and cotton fields receive
lower wages. greater speedup, and
longer hours than even some of
the adult workers who work side
by side with US.
Those of US who work ON the
farms toll from. sunrise to sunset
helping our parents. who firdine
1t hard, to exist can paw us little
or no pay.
Young Farm Workers
AT the same time millions Of
youth and children are employed
by rich farmers and large corpora
ton farms as in California, Colo,
RADIO and the South and East. The,
receive wages that are so low i
IS impossible for them to receive
the proper food, clothing. educa
ton. to which all are entitled.
At the same time while a small
amount of relief is given our par
ents, we as young people receive
u ISAlS1 whatsoever.
Schools are Closed
Over 1000 rural schools in 2
states have not vet reopened thei
doors for the fall term and man,
more face the danger of beinI
closed. Those of us and others
who go to school find it Difficult
to attend school as we canno
afford to buy sufficient number o
: books and supplies and paw trans
portation. resulting in a conditio
where MANY are forced to discor
tinue school altogether.
While we see that the cndition
of the youth in general are yer
bad, we also know that the cor
ditions of the Negro youth on tn
farm are certainly worse.
We Want Guidance
This is big task and we youn
people cannot do it alone. The n
eponsibility of organizing tn
youth falls upon our parents a
much as it does upon US. From
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1933-12-08

youth sections which will work
closely with and receive guidance
from the farm organizations. In
the community regular meetings
should be held by these and the
problems of the youth discussed
AID struggles organized around
them.
Realizing that the farm youth
have all too little opportunity for
social and recreational life. we
suggest that the youth sections in
addition to their activities in con-
nection with the economic demands
of the youth also organize social,
athletic. educational activities for
the farm youth. These would in
clude dances and picnics, regularly
organized sports teams and league,
study circles, dranatics, etc. Manv
young farmers who have not taken
part In the struggles can be drawn
in through these mediums. At the
same time we must make our or
carnations not primarily social
organizations. but organizations of
struggle that will fight for the
immediate demands Of the farm
youth.
We must not put up a fence
around our youth sections. We
must draw into our work and into
our struggles all farm youth.
Pledge
We young people sons and
daughters of farmers, gathered
at the Farmers Second National
! Conference held at Chicago. on
Nov. 1918, pledge TO fight
together with the farmers In
struggle for better conditions.
Every day of our lives at eyery
moment. at every opportunity.
we will continue to lead and or
ganize the youth 70 fight for
the farmers in all their activi-
ties. Whatever may happen. we
pledge to carry On the fight for
freedom.

IS
 FOR THE BRIDE
New Discovery Has Made Pie Making COmpara.
 lively Simple
NEW PIE RECIPES

How many husbands, poor de- luded things. have labored under the belief that their wives were good cooks until suddenly, one night, they have been confronted with home made pie. One leath- cry rsoggy crusa will destroy the illusion for a long time and you'll find your man declaring in no un- certain terms that he really doesn't like pies.
 One of the best cooks that America has ever produced sad many years ago that if a house. wife could make pastry, she had nothing to worry about. Meats and vegetables, once you get the hang of seasoning and of limiting theIr time in the oven or on the stove are easy enough. Anyone can make n good salad so long as the ingredients for the dressing arc available. and the best soups in the world can be obtained in cans.
 But the question of pastry Is something else. The famous cook was right when she placed 1t as the final test of cooks ability, and the bugaboos attending It's success might still be tearing their heads if it. were not for the mod ern cracker cookery. This new discovery has made pastry making 50 simple that even the novice to whom boiling water was an event can now turn out no end of pies and tories with minimum hazard.
 One of the newest of the pie recipes calls for filling of apples with crust that is studded with chopped almonds. It sounds diffi- cult. doesn't it. but it's easy enough if you follow this recipe carefully:
 Apple Almond Pie 1-2 cup shelled almonds 1 3-4 cups graham crackers, rolled
 fine
 1-2 cup sugar
 1-2 teaspoon almond f1avoring 1-3 cup butter
 2 cups sweetened apple sauce
 Chop almonds and combine with graham crackers, rolled fine, 1-2 cup sugar. flavoring and softened butter. Reserve 3-4 cup of this mixture and press remainder firmly against bottom and sides of a but tered pie plate. Pour in apple sauce. Top with remainder of crumb mixture and bake IS min- utes in hot oven (425 degrees F). Chill and serve with whipped cream If desired. Makes one 8-incb pie.

 HOmard Sauce Americainc
 Boil one and three-quarters pound pompano in salted water with a few slices of raw onions and carrots on slow Ire 20 minutes. At the same time, prepare Ham, ard sauce Americaine as follows:
 Cut two live Holsters (from one to two pounds each) into pieces, put them in a saute pan with olive oil. let them color add some chop ped shallots and little garlic. a half cup each of cooking brandy and cooking white wine, three quartered fresh tomatoes, half cup of tomato juice. a few bay leaves, a dash of thyme and salt and pepper to taste.
 Let it cook slowly for 20 min- utes, then take the lobster meat from the shells and finish the sauce by adding three tablespoons full of butter, little cayenne pep per. some chopped tarragon and chervil.
