No Oil Under State
"U" Professor Asserts

Cokato-There are no possibilities
of striking oil in Minnesota, accord
ing to the editor of the Cokato En-
terprise, who has taken the trouble
to investigate with University scie:-
fists, following numerous rumors
about the state of projected oil wells.
DR.. G. N. Schwartz, of the depart
ment of geology at the University of
Minnesota, declared emphatically in
an interview that there was as much
possibility Of growing orange trees in
the state for profit as in striking
commercial oil deposits. The glacial
drift in the state is not old enough
only 10000 years old-to contain oil,
and the formation below the drift
contains no oil. The gas which is
occasionally struck in the shallow
wells of southern Minnesota comes
from peat Dogs and forest beds OF
the glacial drift, and this gas has no
commercial value. Thousands of dol
lars have been spent in drilling for
oil in the state, including 100000 in
one we'll near Rochester.

ADMINISTRATION
BUSILY PUSHING
.BANKHEAD'S BILL
Supports Infamous Legisla'
ton to Force Farmers to
Cut Acreage
By Herbert Barnes

WASHINGTON, D. C. - In
creased activity by administration
leaders in support Of the Bank
head bill, putting teeth" in the
agricultural adjustment act as it
concerns cotton, was observed here
this week.
Hearings on the Bankhead bill,
to limit by law the amount Of cot
ton ginned and to license produc-
ers, began Monday before the SEN
ate agricultural committee.
The United Press bureau here
has telegraphed to its papers that
eff strict control Of cotton pro-
duction is initiated, it is conceiv-
able that similar plans would be
extended to other crops.
''The Bankhead bill goes far be-
yond present crop control pro-
grams. Under its provisions a Ii
cense would be required for every
bale of cotton put on the domes'
tic or foreign market"
Every action in respect to this
bill tends to confirm the statement
made by your correspondent in th'
Producers News last week that
the Roosevelt administration i
cooking up plans to include othe
crops under similar legislation
going forward toward controlling
crop reduction by the police powe

Workers, Farmers Jam Court
Force Acquittal Of UFL Leader
Arrested in Mimi. Milk Strike
RENO TanttiA, Framed on Charge of "De'tEoyng Sixty
"''' Cents Worth Of Milk and Assaultns Scab' Is

had framed on him a charge Of
destroying so cents worth Of milk
ard bottles and for assault. The
last charge rose out Of the fact
chat Tanttila was forced to defend
himself from the attacks of one Of
bhe scabS. This was a victory for
the workers and farmers coming
In from the different localities
throughout the county. Two hun
bred workers and farmers demon
strated in front of the courthouse
the morning of the trial demand
ing that all charges be dismissed
against Tanttila. Five hundred
leaflets had been spread to the
farmers throughout the county
calling upon them to demonstrate.
Two thousand leaflets were spread
in the city calling upon the work
RS to demonstrate.
In the testimony for the defense
the witnesses proved beyond a
doubt that the Ecabs had started
the trouble by hitting RENO Tant-
tia when he attempted to speak to
them. He defended himself from
this assault. L. A. Bourgin a To-
cal attorney offered his services
voluntarily.
It was clear to the workers and
farmers that this was not a cas-
of whether Tanttila had destroyed
property or not, assaulted someone
rather it was a case of whethel
or not the farmers have the RICH
to strike for better prices for thei
products. 1t was a trial Of tn
farmers against the Bridgemal
Russell Co. and other exploiters.
: The workers and farmers wor
out, because Of their united mas
action. This victory will spur tn
, farmers as well as the workers t
build their organizations stronge
: than ever before, the United Farm
. ers League, and the workers, the'
D organizations such as the Unen
I ployed Council.

of the dollar by forty per cents
The plan calls for giving the
government title to all monetary
gold in the country, with pro-
visions for payment in certificates.
A fund of two billions to engage
in gold purchases, both in the
United States and abroad, is re-
quested. :"
This plan would increase the
value of the $500, 100000 in gold
held by the Federal Reserve Board
to almost $1,000, 100000. But it
reduces the value of the dollar to
60 per cent of its former value.
The result is an immediate rise
in value of bonds as well as all
commodities, from grain, cotton,
and farm products to steel and
manufactured products. While this
may look good to farmers at first
sight, it will soon show it's real
coIrs.
The rise in prices of farm pro
ducts will be reflected in huge
profits for the spectators and
middlemen with great quantities Of
products on their hands. Costs o.
living, from overalls to agrlcul'
tural machinery, gasoline, feed, ett
will rise SO quickly that the small
farmers, and the majority Of mid
die farmers, that their situation
will be much worse.

employed and unemployed, costs O

DEMAND FEED
FOR STARVING
STOCK In S. D.
Mass Meeting of Farmers
Talks Straight to County
Relief Heads
By e. L. BOlland

PIERPONT, S. D.-Because of
q seemingly unwillingness or
inability of the County Relief Ad-
minttration to cope with the pre-
sent live stock feed situation the
farmers of independence township
b order to present q more united
front, assembled in a mass
meeting Friday evening.
Resolutions were passed demand
ing immediate action in getting
livestock feed to needy farmers.
Gov. Berry, who stated in his re-
cent radio address that farmers
should quit worrying about feed
for their animals, was notified by
wire. Fhe result Of the feed sur
Tey taken at the meeting has been
presented to the County Relief
Board.
This survey, based on the actual
number Of live stock owned by
each farmer who will be out Of
feed before next spring, revealed
the fact that 800 tons of hay anS
1000 bushels of corn viii b,
needed before May first, go tom
II hay and 1000 bushels. of corr
being needed Immediately as som,
formers are already out of feet
while others have only few day
supply. Farmers living as man,
as Is miles from town have mad
several trips in order to get
small amount Of feed.
The situation has been furthe
complicated by a recent ruin
that orders for feed must be sc
cured at Webster. This, becaus
Of the. Congestion" at the coul
house, generally means sever;
trips to the county seat.
From remarks dropped at TIL
mass meeting one would almost /
compelled to believe that the coul
ty relief administration specialize
n playing politics and passing tt
buck. This remedy has so ia
proven very ineffective in stoppin
the ravages of ''hollow gut" whic
Is rapidly invading the herds

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia.- In
East Slovakia and Carpatho Uk-
raine the starving population is
suffering from cold and hunger to
a frightful degree. But in spite
of the pitiable condition of the
villagers and peasants, the land
lords, big agrarians, and usurers
are depriving the starving, freez-
ing, and indebted population of the
last COW or pig, the last piece Of
furniture. The villagers are de-
Tending themselves with determ.
med solidarity against the collec'
ton of taxes by force. In Lyuts
(Carpatho- Ukraine), for instance
the bailiff came to put in execu-
tions. accompanied by an escort OF
/ gendarmes. The excited HeasantrN
prevented the executions, and
drove the bailiff and the gendarm
es out of the village. A similar
report comes from Karlovsky
Chlumes (Slovakia) where again
bailiff was hunted out of the vii
lage.
