Valley Farms
Growth Arnazes
Extension Man
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENTTO. May 25.-Amaze-
ment at the increase in the number
OF farms in Cameron County was
expressed Friday by S. A. Mcmillan
Of the Texas A. & NJ. College Exten-
sion Service. college Station, Tex
as.
He visited Henry AlSmeyer, Cam
eron county agent. who revealed that
the number Of farms increased from
about l.400 in 1920 to ever 1000 in
1885 according TO the farm census
Just completed.
Mcmillan advocated the keeping Of
proper farm records. He said that
there are many arguments in favor
or the practice. 1t not only enables
the farmer TO know where he stands
but 1t also provides valuable infor-
nation for use in connection with
government agricultural programs
a l in planning extension service
activities ver a period Of years.
Crop records are necessary before
farmers can participate in govern
ment acreage reduction programs.
The information shown in farm
records also can be Of value il ad-
vertising the fertility Of a commun-
ity. The records show the yields and
returns from farm activities and in
the case Of the Valley would be val
liable in advertising this section at
the Texas Centennial.
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration provides farm record
blanks for those who desire them.

WRITING in the Sunday Star of Column
" bus, Ohio, Richard Halliburton, writer
of travel books, delivers himself of the fol-
lowing opinion of the Soviet Union:
THE mobs of people are the most
hopeless looking human beings I've ever
seen in any country populated by the
white race"
But the very next week, this same
Halliburton, writing in the Ottawa Eve
ming Citizen writes this scathing refuta-
ton of himself:
Tn Moscow thousand university
students with wave of cheering flung
themselves on the job of paving a pub
lie square, and without compensation
drove the job through till it was finished.
This marvellous team spirit among the
young Communists, this eagerness to
efface themselves in order to uplift the
communal whole, brings lump to ones
throat and tears to ones eyes,"
A liar ought to watch himself for con-
sistency, Mr.. Halliburton.

Finds Flaws In Report
Of Hauptmann Trial
New York. N. Y.

New York, N. Y,
Comrade Editor:
I am sending the following letter
to you, because resentment among
the comrades, especially among
German sympathizers, to the way
the news of the Hauptnann trial
was being handled, made me con-
scious of the danger that lies in
Comrade Allen Johnson's at times
faulty position in reporting the trial.
I would greatly appreciate it if this
letter could be published in the
Daily"
Comrade Johnson's reports of the
Hauptmann trial were, generally
speaking, quite good. But certain
slips towards q careless journalism
is inexcusable, 1t is beyond my I'M
derstanding how the Daily Worker
could unloosen in it's columns a
barrage Of improved accusations
and groundless assertions towards
Hauptmann.
Our reports should make happen
ings and persons, as revealed at the
trial, subject to a Marxist analysis.
Hauptmann, whatever he is, is just
miserable product of capitalist
society. Let us picture him as such!
But it is none of our business to
Islander him still more by bringing
unwarranted charges against him.
This we could very well leave to
these guttersheets and the prosecu-
ton. T. H.

Observation-Disclosures!

MAYOR LA GUARDIA emerged yester-
vi day as the leader of the employers
strikebreaking forces against the water
front workers.
The employers are alarmed at the
great fighting power displayed by the
teamsters and longshoremen in their fight
against the injunction The longshore-
men are already picketing against scab
trucks. LaGuardia fears another San
Francisco general strike.
LaGuardia, in secret conference with
the employers newspaper publishers,
promised that his police would be mobil-
lied for strikebreaking duty. He plans to
break the strike under the slogan of NOV
ing food, fuel and newspapers. He knows
this is an unnecessary slogan because the
teamsters moved necessary food and fuel
in their one day strike
In his strikebreaking moves, LaGuardia
has the staunch backing of Ryan, Casual
and Co. These A. F. of L. national leaders
have pledged their best efforts to try to
strange the developing strike on the
waterfront.
The waterfront workers must oppose
the united front of the bosses with the
solid united front of all the waterfront
workers to prepare their strike under rank
and file leadership. Through strike action
the injunction can be smashed, union con-
ditions maintained and the strikebyeaking
front smashed.

Build the A. F. L. Unions

THE organization of the unorganized
L workers into the A. F. of L. is now
key question for every militant worker.
The strike wave is rapidly rising, with
New York waterfront workers, textile,
food and metal workers already on the
battle front.
In the Steel auto, textile, coal, and
rubber industries, the workers are prepar-
ing for large strike actions. If these
strikes are to be won, the masses of I'M
organized workers must be brought now
into the A. F. of L. unions.
William Green and his lieutenants will
not organize the unorganized workers into
the A. F. of L. His refusal to carry out
the decision of the last national conven-
ton of the A. F. of L. to launch drive to
organize the unorganized steel workers is
proof of this.
It is vitality important for every mill
tant worker, in the first place the Com
munists, to take leadership in organizing
the unorganized workers.
The A. F. of L. unions must be imme-
diately built and strengthened into mass
organizations led by the rank and file,
capable of conducting and winning the
great strikes which lie ahead.

namely, the abrogation of certain

path is clear for the instituting of
open terror and the bringing of a
fascism that will be a hundred times

Canadian Parliament
Prepares to Adopt
Strike-Breaking Bill


Ottawa, Jan. 31-The Cana
dian Parliament today prepared to
mass the most reactionary strike
breaking legislation, masked as an
unemployment insurance" measure,
ever to be introduced in the west
ern hemisphere. 1t is very similar to
the Wagner-Lewis Bill, now pend
ing in the United States Congress.
The passage of the bill would not
only mean that the present unem-
ployed of Canada would be left to
starvation, but that those few cate
gories of workers who do receive the
"insurance"-and this for less than
a would ultimately pay this
sum out of their own wages while
working.
