Where wheat is planted in the
corn fields it means that another
important source of feed is gone.
The farmer turns his stock into
the corn field after it has been
husked.
By cheating the farmer out of
his bonus check and contract, he is
left to face the coming year with
reduced acreage and greater i'm
poverishment. If the farmer can
not run his stock on the wheat
fields during the fall or even in
the corn fields planted to wheat,
he will either have to sell his stock
or else use his bonus check to buy
feed with.
This is just another blow at driv-
ing the poor farmer off his farm
and reducing him to the status Of
a serf.

Weekly Organizational Letter


The United Farmers League has |
not reacted with sufficient vigor
to the strike In Minnesota. The |
issues around which the strike has
been called are fake issues, of |
course, but it is up to US to change
these Uses into real demands. AL
ready in Wisconsin the farmers
are correctly raising the concrete
United Farmers League demand
of go per cent of the retail price
of milk as the price demand IN
stead of the meaningless "cost of
production plus profit" phrase
mongering. Concrete price de-
mands must be raised everywhere
and the farmers must be rallied to
fight for these demands.
The gentlemen whom the cap
italist press flatteringly term the
''farm strike leaders" and who are
given the privilege of splitting
their oily deceit into the michro-
phones of radio broadcasting sta
tons are now trying to make the
farmers believe that the N. R. A.
and its codes bring deliverance.
Lately some of them have pre-
tended to condemn the N. R. A.;
yet what does this demand for an
N. r. A. farm code signify but
support of the vicious program of
| the money class that is embodied
in the N. R. A.? The governors,
ready tools of the monopolies and
of rich farmers like Mr.. Bosch,
are all for a code too. It's a
united front of the wealthy inter-
ests against the mass Of Amer
lean farmers and workers.
The code will mean primarily
new and higher processing taxes
to raise the funds for paying the
increased prices on farm products
, This will mean higher prices to the
: city workers. The workers will
! be able to buy still less Of oul
: products. Presto, we wont be abb,
to sell our products because Their
will be no market; but the thing,
} we have to buy will GO skyrocket

The Dues Fund

In the same manner a dues fund
must be raised for every U. F. L.
Local. Twenty percent of the dues
money stays in the Local treas
ury. This should be allowed to
accumulate into a reserve so that
the secretary will have money on
hand with which to buy dues
stamps in advance. At least a
certain amount of the fund should
be retained for dues and not used
for any other purpose. If a local
secretary is in a position to buy
dues stamps in advance the men,
bers can be supplied Immediately
at any time and the matter of
dues payments will be more sure,
prompt and simple.

The Question
of Literature

Our members, and the farmers
as a whole, are beginning to re-
alize the Importance of spreading
literature through the countryside;
because, after all, what the farm
ers read will determine how they
are going to think and to act. Just
remember this, you who complain
that the farmers in your commun-
ity are backward. The question of
money for literature comes up.
None of us can afford anymore to
paw for literature out of our own
pockets and distribute it free. We
haven't the money to send for the
literature in the first place.
But this difficulty is not too
great to overcome. Why not ac-
tually take up a collection or hold
some kind of social affair to raise

The Strike
Is On or Off

At this writing, on the 3rd of
November, it is hard to say just
whether the strike is on or off,
for the reports one reads or hears
are conflicting. Our predictions
have been borne out. The gentle
man who called the farm strike
have manoeuvered to make it as
weak and Intellectual as possible.
1t is obvious now to all that the
strike is intended merely as a
threat with which to force from
the government what the leading
gentlemen want for themselves,
and may the devil take the dirt
farmer.
The so-called leaders have be-
gun calling off the strike as soon
as the strike is beginning to take
on militant characteristics, under
the pretext that the governors
plus Roosevelt, Peek and Morgen-
THAI will bring a remedy to the
farmers ills.
In Wisconsin, where the United
Farmers League has boldly as
sumed strike leadership, with the
result that farmers have elected
their own strike committees anC
have begun to make the strike eff
fective by mass picketing, TIT
Holiday Association leaders have
called off the strike.
To our knowledge, Mr.. Bosch il
Minnesota has not Officially" cal
led off the strike but he has lief
the farmers hanging in the air, a
it were, to wonder whether t
strike or not to strike. This sha
dow boxing, he hopes, will put hin
into position where later he cal
declare that he was for carrying
on the strike or for calling it of
which ever may appear more ia
vorable to him. This gentlema
farmer who has "regretfully" be
come a director of bank and VIII
has the agency for agriculture
machinery, is waiting for Mr.. Nil
Reno to become thoroughly dis
credited with the farmers so tbs
ne can take Reno's place as ns
tional '1eader."

AS it Should Be

The Chicago Conference is popu-
larized right on the farmers
picket lines in Wisconsin. Arthur
Timpson, U. F. 4. State Organizer,
reports that in one Farmers Union
strike meeting they elected eight
delegates to Chicago and six from
another. No wonder Reno laments
that the strike Is getting away
from his control. No wonder the
Holiday leader in Wisconsin has
called off the strike. No wonde,
the governors and the other fat
boys are frantic. The American
farmer is no longer the delight of
the plutocrats, the "dumb beast,
brother to the OK" All the wiles
of the Renoes and the Bosches and
of governors cannot make serfs of
the American farmers.

conference of midwest governors

have been fatty turned down by |
the Roosevelt government. Gov.
LANCER of North Dakota declared |
that the governors conference was
an absolute failure. Roosevelt is
determined to put through his own
plan for robbing the farmers and
is not yet ready to use the cost
reproduction demand of Reno's.
u. F. L. in Strike
Members of the United Farmers
League are taking an active part
in the strike, particularly in Wis
consin. They are the most active
organizers of picket lines, and they
are urging the farmers to adopt
clear-cut demands for their strike.
For instance. IT. the middle
counties of Wisconsin the strikers
have adopted the demand of so
percent of the retail price of milk
to go to the farmer. This is much
more concrete to the strikers, and
| it gives them something real to
fight for. This demand was adopt
ed at the suggestion of United
Farmers League members on the
picket lines.
The United Farmers League is
giving all support to the strike,
but it urges strikers everywhere
not to be satisfied with "cost of
production" The demands of the
strike should be made clear and
sharp at meetings by rank and
file farmers themselves. Strike
committees should be elected at
these meetings which shall be sub
ject to recall by the rank and file
at any time that is necessary
Mass picketing must be carried on
constantly.
Although Reno is at present 60
ing along with the strike, farmers
should not be fooled into thinking
, that he is for real strike action
!, He will take the first opportunity
! he can to again call it off.

Members of the Alabama Dairy

to have joined the strike.
When Arnold Gilbert, Wisconsin

of 500 farmers in Madison voted
to disregard the order, and instead
