FARMERS WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
 AGAINST SALES
Entire Middle West Pro. tests High Taxes and With No Profits With Which to Pay

Chicago, Feb. 2 (UP)-The dis- auletlnR rumble of farmers pro. tests against high taxes and meagre profits spread across the entire middle west today, commanding the attention of officials from Washington to scheduled hamlets.
 From sporadic outbreaks fin the corn belt area, tho protests had grown to widespread revolt against tax sales and mortgage foreclos. ures. Tn at least 10 states an air of militancy prevailed as farmers planned concerted opposition to forced sales of their land.
 Encouraged by victories in their first encounters, farmers said they would push on until congress and state legislatures enact measures to restore grain production and live. stock raising to profitable basis.
 A tense situation arose in Iowa, where feeling against forced sales was keenest, Thousands of acres of black, fertile corn land were posted for delinquent tax sale. Post ponement of tho sales has been forced several times.
 Bands of farmers were organlz- cd In more than 70 of the states % counties to block the sales by persuasion, strategy or by force.
 Tn nearly dozen other states, drastic means to halt foreclosures were being adopted while nuthori. ties, alarmed at tho rising rural sentiment, prepared conclllatory measures. States in which the situation was acute included 1lli- nois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wiscon- sin, North Dakota, South Dakota, oklahoma, Texas and one eastern section, Now Jersey.
 Tn oklahoma, where a "councll of defense" was organized to com. bat foreclosures, m attorney sched- uled to sell n widows farm was kidnapped and driven in an automo- bilo several miles from tho scene. IIo was released unharmed.
