Fs UNION OF FARMER AND GAPITAL ASKED Forcing Down of Factory and Railroad Wages Urged by Dan D. Casement Chicago, Feb. 28. — (#) — Dan D. Casement, president of the Farmers Independence Council of America, urged an alliance of the farmers and industrial capital Friday to force fac- tory and railroad wages down. “Today the interest of the farmer and the consumer demand that we discard our hign wage and high price complex,” he told the Executives club in a luncheon address. “The farmer, as the basic capitalist, should seek to arouse his logical ally, industrial capital, to establish inde- Pendence of organized labor main- taining wage scales incompatible with service rendered and the consumer's ability to buy.” He declared wages and salaries to be the principal items in the cost of manufacturing goods bought by the farmer, and in transporting the farm- er’s own products to market. Denying that tariffs are the basis of the farmer’s troubles, Casement asserted that in the four years pre- ceding 1935 farm producers tot received 22 per cent higher protec: tion than did industry.

Regan, N. D. Feb. 17, 1936. Editor, Tribune: As long as everyone is talking Toads let’s talk about both old and new 36. Old road is blocked and has been for two months. New 36 has been traveled all winter with sleds, » the west end six miles and the spur can be traveled with auto, which goes to show that if this road had been built at the time the federal govern- ment OK.d it (federal funds -were then available) this road could be opened with but little shoveling. Don’t blame the federal govern- ment that this road isn’t built. It’s the people here at home. ~ This road is very much needed on account of the small .coal mines which supply the vicinity for miles with fuel. There would have been no need of a coal shortage in Regan and Wing, neither would the farmers get out of coal if they had a fair road. Think of a farmer shoveling for hours to get out of his own yard, then drive 30 and 40 miles to the mines, roads drifted and blizzards Weather Report WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Be- coming aa colder tonight; Saturday — and cold. cise Da- ; colder to- ripe tonight Saturday li is B t rtion; area colder aren ion, tonight. innesota: Unsettled, bls leat snows, colder in west eae nat 4 foolents Saturday becoming fair, WEATHER CONDITIONS High pressure areas are centered over the Canadian Provinces, Prince Albert, 30.42, and the far northwest- ern states, Boise, 30.30, while compar- atively low pressure overlies the Rocky Mountain and central ier States.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1986 Old Enemy, for 1936 Crop Washington, Feb. 28.—(#)—The an- nual race has started between grow- ing wheat and the rusts which threat- en to decimate the crop. Pathologists of the United States department of agriculture explain that the kind of weather occurring between now and harvest largely will influence where serious outbreaks of the fungus may take place and how widespread they will be. Beyond this, the experts decline to make any pre- dictions, “Rust spreads faster when the weather is warm and moist than when it is cool and dry.” Dr. H. B. Hum- phreys, principal pathologist in the division of cereal crops and diseases, declared. Stem rust of wheat, one of the most vicious of the cereal rusts, occurs in every part of the world where wheat is grown, The tiny spores can be car- ried thousands of miles by air cur- rents. Dr. Humphrey declared that in one outbreak in the North Central states stem rust alone destroyed 180,- 000,000 bushels of wheat. This rust, as well as the others, is caused by a tiny, parasitic moldlike fungus which attacks all parts of the wheat plant above ground. The spores fall on the plant and.send out one or two germ tubes which enter it through the breathing pores. In- side they develop through their life cycle using nourishment drawn from the plant, finally breaking through the epidermis as nodules filled with the next generation of spores. Dr. Humphrey pointed out that the stem rust spores have two stages, red, which normally is found through the summer, and black, which usually appears when the wheat starts to rip- en. The black spores will not germinate immediately, but generally remain on straw or stubble throughout the winter and cannot infect grains or grasses. They infect only certain spe- cies of the barberry bush which in turn produce the spores dangerous to growing crops. Because of this peculiarity the rust problem in southern states is a com- plicated one. Dr. Humphrey said. “In the southern states rust seldom de- velops on barberry bushes because the black spores are formed in May or early June and cannot survive the long hot summers,” he said, The red spores, howeyer, are pro- duced continually throughout the year, and the life of the rust is, therefore, independent of the barberries in those states. In northern states the barberry bush is regarded as a distinct menace and a vigorous campaign has been carried on to eradicate it, about 18,000,000 bushes having been destroyed. raging and the thermometer hover- ing around 35 and 40 below. If one has a sick child, wife or other relative or neighbor, the situa- tion is the same. Remember Wilton has one doctor. Regan, Wing, and Tuttle haven’t any. All are depend- ent on the Bismarck hospitals and no roads to reach them. The businessmen of Wilton and Regan fought the new 36 because it was not routed through the towns. So the federal government sent out six or seven different engineers. They all agreed the new road was the proper place, but was it built? No. This road was advertised and the contract let only to be turned down by Mr. Vogle, then our one-man highway commissioner, who did not have backbone enough to do his duty to the people but listened to the fa- vored few. Who made these small towns so Prosperous and important? It wasn’t the tourist. It was the farmer, the miner and the laborer. Had Mr. Olson remained governor this road would no doubt have been completed clear through Burleigh county. Flannigan has grudgingly given us the six miles at the west end and Wilton has been glad to use this road to the mines, but Régan has to shiver in the cold. It is all right to beautify the capitol grounds after the necessary things are finished, EVA M. GILL, FROM ‘A WAR HATER’ Underwood, N. D., | Feb. 15, 1936. Editor Tribune: I read the extract af the speech of Col. Paul S. Bliss at the Kiwanis club in Feb. 12 issue, in which he stated “population pressure” — overcrowding of nations—was the cause of war, and not the munition makers and bankers. I take issue with him as I believe many will agree with me that such is not the case. To prove it, let the common people vote on war and I'm sure the majority will vote against war, even though they are crowded. Every reported straw vote has so far shown it. Mr, Bliss talks in favor of big de- fense preparedness to keep peace. Wasn’t he perhaps one of those that believed Germany’s preparedness be- fore 1914 was the cause of war? Likely. Anyway it did not aid peace. It never does, And it will not in our} country. As to “population pressure,” is that such a@ bad situation that it cannot be remedied without a war of butcher- | ing each other off? If we want to do that, kill off people where they are overcrowded, then why not let nature do it? It would be much cheaper and no more brutal, Namely, let them die and do nothing for diseases, What's the use of spending millions of dol- lars for saving and prolonging lives? Let them starve, freeze, drown. Let autos kill them. Let them commit suicide. Don’t pen up the murderers, let them do their work to thin and the population. Is this any worse than war? Is this as cruel or as costly? No. I think this talk of “population pressure” as the cause of war is bunk. the |Tt's a smoke screen behind which the war makers hide. There is plenty of room in the world for people when millions of acres of land are lying iale and I am sure most people woyld. rather go on land and have their sons go on land rather than have them go to war for the money bags and muni- tion makers, If all the money spent for war and Preparedness would be used to put people on small farms, if the nations would work together for this cause, I am sure the common people would rather do that than fight one an- other. There is plenty to eat and wear and use in this world for its People. If countries or cities are over- crowded let them emigrate to less crowded places, as nationalities did years ago and are doing yet. Mr. Bliss agrees wars are brutal and costly but not “futile.” He cites the Revolutionary and Civil wars. Yet, in present day light and understand- is how foolish they were. I am sure if England and the southern people had the choice today they would choose the better way to settle these difficulties. We remember Lincoln tried it when he proposed to pay $1,000 tor each slave to slave owners for their freedom. England and the colonies could have settled their differences without war. Other nations have done 80. War is about the silliest, most in-| sane way to settle quarrels. It only stirs up more hate and ill will. It is costly, cruel. It is wrong. Let us all talk and work for peace and the better way to settle quarrels. Let us'denounce war. But as the big ——— You'll never be the same again after you’ve seen MAG- NIFICENT OBSESSION which opens Saturday evening at the Capitol Theatre. Glasses, dishes, silverware. sterilized rigorously at Prince.) Proposition, so now they are ever ready to goad us into war. But let us stand together and not let them rule us, though we may be sneered at through press or speech as Scarecrow called “Communist, Red.” and other pet names. If I sense it right, my honest con- viction is they are putting up another Scarecrow called “Communist, Red.” They will goad us into another war saying we must fight for “Christian- ity and churches.” The last war was to “save democracy.” Now it is “save religion.” What do most of them care for religion and church? Not # hoot. If they did their lives would show @ better example of it. Now they join in with some fool preachers who also blow in their horn, It is regrettable. They are only driving people away from church and making things worse. I am for Christianity—the Jesus kind. I love to go to church and Sunday school and hear the Gospel truths of our Saviour and teach my children the Gospel of Christ—good will, peace, forbearance, love, patience, honesty and truth; a forgiving spirit, doing good; also the golden rule.

CONTINUE D Break Agreement To Abandon Points Seized Wednesday duct of the third day’s tense negotia- tions, With the four elder statesmen— Premier Okada, Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal Makoto Saito and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe—dead, the civilian authority seemed unable to end the conflict. With Tokyo continuing under mar- tial law and Acting Premier Goto ap- parently unable to form a new cab- inet, the final authority rested with leaders of Fascist or militarist ten- dencies. Foreign press reports that the Jap- anese attitude toward China and Soviet Russia would become more ag- gressive as a result of the militarist uprising were denied.

D. RISK OF LIGHT SEED MAY BE MITIGATED Welford Makes Four Pertinent Recommendations to N. D. Producers Governor Walter Welford made four recommendations to North Da- kota farmers Friday in the interests of lessening the risk involved in the Planting of lightweight seed. Speaking over the radio in an inter- view with Earl Hodgson, farm news Teporter, the state's chief executive advised farmers to: 1, Use the heaviest seed available. 2. Give all seed a heavy cleaning or fanning before planting. 3. Treat all seed with Ceresan to So baad smut and improve germina- n. 4. Prepare a good seed bed. Recalling the Fargo conference of seed experts from Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana and North Dakota, Governor Welford said that it was krought out at that meeting that the lightweight seed germinates in vary- ing percentages. Generally, the heav- ier the seed the higher the percentage of germination, he said. He pointed out that fanning or cleaning improves the seed because it removes @ portion of the lightest ker- nels, which are most apt not to ger- minate. Approximately 500,000 bushels of Marcus, Ceres and some Thatcher seed wheat is stored at the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks and will be aa to farmers for $1.10 a bushel, he England is experimenting with a new variety of hops, which is expect- Es to be especially suited for brewing stout. | Dr. Towne Is Laidto - Last Rest Thursday Dr. R. 8. Towne, Bismarck dentist and prominent civic leader, was bur- ied in St. Mary's cemetery following funeral services in the St. George's Episcopal church Thursday. The church was filled to capacity as sorrowing friends and relatives paid last respects to the local prac- titioner who was killed in a train ac- cident at Jamestown Monday night. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Rev. G. W. Stewart and Walter Tostevin of Mandan and A. J. Arnot and George Humphreys of Bis- marck who sang “Crossing the Bar” and “Lead Kindly Light.” Rev. N. E. Elsworth, pastor, preached the sermon. Miss Marie Lemohn was the organist. Hagood’s Case to Get Committee Attention Washington, Feb. 28—(?)—The sen- ate military committee Friday named @ subcommittee of three to consider the Metcalf resolution proposing an investigation of the removal of Maj.
