have met the depression successfully
with cooperative marketing, new
farm handicrafts and revival at home

The Women's National Farm and
Garden Association has promoted the
phenomenal growth Of roadside mar
kets, where farmers wives sell fruits,
vegetables, bakery goods and art prod

Congress and State Legislatures
have been asked to pass agricultural
measures and appropriations for rural
maternity and child care by farm
women's organizations. They have
made their members newly conscious

Increasingly American farm women

guilds conduct Summer school camp,
teaching handicrafts and folk dancing.
Many long evenings, enlivened with
song and story telling in whitewashed,
thatched cottages, are due to their
efforts.
Farming prohtably in Ireland's tiny
fields is no easy achievement. The
women have taken matters into their
own hands. The Dublin country shop
sells members handicrafts. They have

operate 1t and were dismayed to find
eggs mysteriously disappearing from

been Irish women's perquisite and
they saw to it that it remained so.
A USTRALIAN country women have
rendered invaluable service to new
settlers and combated isolation in this
sparsely-settled land. Thanks to them,
widely-scattered farms are now served
by a flying doctor, who may be sum-

Country Women's Association helped
its immense farms install wireless sets.

The strongest were rewarded
with extra food, with decorations
and privileges. They became shock
brigadiers. once man or a
woman became a shock brigadier,
the better food ration made for
still greater production. The strain
on the weakest, on the great mass,
grew in intensity.
More than once have I seen
workers collapse from undernour-
ishment and overexertion.
Even more terrible is the bitter
ness which the privileged class
creates in the ranks. A few are
pampered at the expense of the
many. And those pampered act as
stool-pigeons and flunkeys. They
are set up as models of efficiency,
as the knights of labor.

"Subotnik" is but one cog in the
speed-up wheel on which Russian
labor is being broken by the
Stain dictatorship.
The Piece-WOrk Plan
The hub of that wheel is the
piece-work system. After fighting
it in the capitalist countries with
considerable success, the Com
munists established it in the
workers fatherland" under the
motto of Socialist competition"
Stain went further. The race
of starved workers, to produce
more pieces of goods, and Incl
dentally more pieces of bread,
naturally led to a race between
the strongest and the weakest.

But do the workers of Moscow
use the subway which they have

A subway ticket costs so ko-

spend one ruble to go to work
and back home by subway each
day. The fare would consume a
large proportion of the average
workers wage.

ARTICLE TWO
BY SOPHIE HORNYAK

For more than three and one
half years. while working in the
Moscow Elektrozavod, I was har-
messed to a team of Soviet toll
erS driven at breakneck speed.
All Soviet labor is organized into
SUCH teams. Over them all sits
the maSter-driver, Stain, who sets
the pace. His whip is the long
arm of the dictatorship.
AS radical, I fought against
lesser evils of the Speed-up system
in this country. But in Soviet
Russia the merciless driving of
undernourished hordes Of workers
to ever greater exertions is known
as Socialism.
When I left Moscow on July /,
1885, the speed.up campaign was
still unabated. It eemed humanity
impossible to increase the pace
Of the I.arnessed millions. Since
then, however, Stain has an.
nounced tt the world a new form
Of "Step-up" system.
I am plain Workingwoman,
and I am surprised that the
American professors who go 10
Moscow every summer take Stain
At his word. They never win the
confidence Of the dray-horSes in
Soviet ind .Stries.
They are entertained by the
Slave-drivers who speak in the
name Of the slaves. must say
that for this class of bureaucrats
the system is Communism indeed.
No capitalists in America enjoy
the un5ridled privileges of the
Stalinist aristocracy.
No western workers could stand

bosses. Even the terrorized Soviet
workers are beginning to resist it,
for such is the meaning of the

ing Of the murder of favored shock
brigadiers by fellow-workers. The
latter are driven by despair, know
ing full well that execution awaits
them.
Every move made by a Soviet
worker out Of step with the Stain
commands is a counter-revolution-
ary crime. That is why the prisons
and the penal camps are filled

It is even a crime against the

TRIAL CITRUS
PAINTINGS IN

Trial paintings of new citrus
varieties in Imperial Valley were
visited this week by A. D. Shamel,
plant physologist for the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, stationed
at the Riverside Citrus experiment
station.
Shamel is interested in seeing
trial paintings of the new Robert
son naval orange tried out in this
county, this variety having had eX-
cellent results in the Riverside
paintings.
The Robertson navel makes rapid
growth in the spring months so that
when the June drop occurs it is
twice as large as the ordinary navel
at that time and is more resistant
to shedding, thus having a heavy
crop Of fruit. The fruit also ripens
about two weeks earlier than other
varieties and has the fine quality
and appearance of the Washington
