Four Michigan Farmers

Altoona COUNTY lies in the north
"A eastern part of Michigan, just
above the thumb. Much of the farm
ing is marginal. The soil is sandy.
Around Glennie, where I have worked
on an alfalfa farm, the farms are
clearingS hacked out of the thick
brush. The farmers here are Bel
CLANS, Bulgarians, Serbians who have
come from the large cities. There
are also the Scotch and the Irish,
children Of the old lumberjacks. A
few Of the settlers come from Iowa.
The government has been trying
to force the farmers off the land
here. 1t plans to make state park
where the rich will be able to hunt
and fish. The farmers are not so
militant as those in the Michigan
Peninsula or the farmers around Bad
Axe, White Cloud, Muskegon. But
they too are stirring.

was in it. Wool and lambs were
high. They had a big flock of sheep
when bears began killing them off.
The game laws protected the bears

automobile oities could come up north
and have sport. The. farmers couldn't
do anything about 1t but yell till
the government decided to pay. At
first you got $25 for a slaughtered
eve, than half Of that. Many farm
er would raise bears now to kill his
sheep If he could get that.
Louis grins little. But in the
cities it's worse, isnt-it2 People SELL
ing dishrags, their furniture in the
streets, souplines all over the country.
II you got no property in this county,
you get relief. Here in the country
you've got property and so you can
starve. Or better the property's got
you. a ,so..
SO all Louis goes is keep on shaving.
Nights rounding up his herd, lost
miles off on a sideroad. Haying till
the fork slips from his aching hands.
Carting his cows to be served by
the rich farmers Angus bull. Maybe
beef will bring in more than milk.
So Louis with the hungry burnt face
waits and slaves. He waits for a
power from the outside greater than
all electricity to give a man his
sweaty bread and peace.

A Power Greater Than
Electricity

ONLY two farmers in the whole VII
lage have electricity. One of these
is the Belgian, Louis Sanian. And
he had to put in plant of his own
because the light and power COM
pany Is gun thug.
A couple of years ago Louis didn't
know the difference between amperes
and volts. Louis got himself books
He damned the stream. No one
helped him with the cement work
1t took him a whole year, but he's
got power now.
The little one and a half horse
power dynamo huns like ground
bee. Belts slap. The undershot wheel
guShes out under the willows. 1t
nips the white glowering arrowheads.
His harnessed power grinds his corn,
lights barn and house, and runs the
radio to which his blind father listens
all day long. 1t eases the housework
for his mother and the sister back
from Detroit because her husband is
jobless. 1t seems to help everybody
but Louis.
Louis shows me the way to the ma
chine shop where he likes to spend
every bit of his spare time. He rests
against the bench. He talks slowly.
He is slim. His lips are girlish and
he has nicked Ratchet face.
Electricity is power, but it can't
make cream sell for 10 cents the way
it sold during the war. 1t can't help
now very much with clearing the
brush. Only SO acres on the whole
farm are tillable. The father used
to help, but now all he does is sit
near the radio and listen like doc
tor to a heart. They can't afford to
hire a man. The little nephew drives
during haying. Louis has to wrestle
alone with the 16-inch harpoon fork
and the sings.
Louis was too young to go to war.
If he'd been older, he might have
gone, for it wouldn't have mattered
one way or the other then. Not now.
Patriotism Is a word written out of
the book for him now. Still he can
remember the good times.
In the early days this part Of the
country was good for peas and beans.
There was a pea elevator in town
for which the farmers raised what
they called contract peas. The COM
pany supplied them with the seed.
But the elevator burned down after
while. Too much competition, any
way, was killing whatever little profit

which is reprinted in this issue. 1t
Is one of the basic Marxist feminist
documents on the question of the
youth and the cultural revolution.
One can do no better than to con-
clude this review with a quotation
from this address, Lenin says:
"Only through a clear UNDER
standing and definite knowledge
of culture created during the entire
development of humanity, and
only by rewOrking it is it possible
to build proletarian culture; with
out such an understanding we
shall not solve cur problems. Proie-
tartan culture is not an in
ycntion of some people who call
themselves specialists of proIeta-
rlan culture. That is rank fool
'shness. Proletarian culture must
come through the regular develop
ment Of those sums Of knowledge
which humanity has created under
the yoke of capitalist society, feud-
alism and officialdom."
