He increased their rent to $10 an acre. “Pay or get off the land,” he said. And he went back to Scully castle. He’s there now. Seventy Grundy county farmers came to Morris, IIL, and held a meeting of protest. They asked State’s Attorney Frank H. Hayes to help them fight the rent rob- bery. He did what a lawyer can do, but according to the laws of Illinois justice is all with Lord Scully. He owns the land. So the 70 Grundy county farmers went down to the state capital. There in Springfield they talked it over with the governor. He gave them a lot of sympathy, but didn’t do anything. Couldn’t—law didn’t permit it. They saw members of the legislature, and the legislature heard all about the matter in a hearing. One member said he would draw up a bill providing that landlords must pay tenants full value for all improvements made by the tenants whenever the tenant is refused a new lease under the condi- tions of the old lease. Such a law would compel Lord Scully to pay all his tenants for their improvements, and would cost his lordship well over a mil- lion dollars. J Grundy county farmers think that their foreign landlord will climb down off his high horse when he is brought face to face with a law like that. Then, they believe, he will be slower about telling them to “pay or go,” for if they g0 he will have to hand over 100 cents on the dollar for all they’ve done for his land. NEXT MOVE TO GO - BEFORE LEGISLATURE " However, the legislature hasn’t passed the law yet, and the state su- preme court has not tested it. And the spring seeding season is on. “Pay or go,” is the Lord Scully ulti- matum. i Seventy Grundy county farmers don’t know what to do. ‘They are busy protesting, but that so far hasn’t got them anywhere. The legislature and governor are sympathetic. But Lord Scully wants that $10 per acre. The following is the statement of one of the 70 Grundy county farmers who are Trenting land from Lord: Scully: ; “For 26 years I have lived on the farm I leased from William Scully.’ He encouraged me to improve it. He promised me that if I ever desired to- quit the farm, he would not lease the land to any one. who would not agree to buy my buildings. Up to the time of his death he kept his word. Then the managers of his estate began to violate the agreement. Our leases ran for a year only. No longer lease would be given. ! “That farm was home to, me. Every fence, every building, every bit of:im- provement on the land represented some of my savings. Every dollar I have saved in nearly 40 years of farming is in the buildings on that farm. s PAID HIGHER RENTS TO KEEP HIS HOME “So I paid the small increase in rent and worked harder—got along with fewer hired men. Again the rent was raised. What could I. do? I pinched a little more and worked just a little harder. I am no longer young, but I couldn’t bear to leave the place that had been home so long. -Then this young chap, who is an heir to the estate, came to my place. He seemed to think I was just a slave from the way he talked. “After he went away another raise in rent came. It meant working for a bare living to pay it—$6 an acre-he demanded instead of the $4 we.had been paying when I first went on the land. But rather than leave I paid. Only the wartime prices aided me to make a bare living at the $6.rate, “Now they demand $10 an acre rent, more than three times the orig- inal cost per acre to William Scully when he got possession of: the -land. I can not pay it. The land will not produce a profit sufficient to pay it, “We are not going to pay it. With our sons offering their lives in France we are not going to permit this' lord to rob us; we are not going to permit: this man who wouldn’t fight for his own country rob us and our boys whe fought for the safety of this lord’s country, at a time when the British needed our help.” LABOR-PARTY PLANS The Labor party in Chicago is build- ing on enduring lines. It is going to establish a co-operative store in every ward in the city, and that store ‘will be the headquarters of the ' Labor party. > by 050 Making North Dakota Safe for Dairyitfligfl. : (Continued from page 3) test law, which becomes effective on July 1, requires that a sample of every delivery of cream to the local . agent shall be' retained for 24 hours during which it may be examined and tested by dairy commission represen- tatives. Any unnecessary variation between these tests and the tests re- ceived by the farmers will result in the revocation of the local agent’s license. Under this law, the producer is not required to accept the test of -the-local buyer, but may forward a sample of cream which has been mu- tually agreed upon to the state dairy commission where it wil] be téested. Fi- nal settlement for the cream in ques- tion will be made on the basis of the dairy commissioner’s test. Another law. passed by the recent legislature requires that the Babcock fest' to determine the percentage of . butterfat in ‘milk and cream be taught in all consolidated schools of the ° state, and that, in addition, the county must provide a Babcock test outfit which must be kept in continuous use in other schools of the county. -The purpose -of this law ‘is to furnish in- - formation and training to the dairy-. ¥ men and women of the future. :When: cream testing becomes common knowl-’ edge, it is likely that very little cream will leave the farm before the actual test and marketable value has been determined. SN Through the use of the Babeock test and milk scales, the dairy herd may be so hardled as to enable the’ producer to make proper selection ‘of his breeding stock and to eliminate from the herd the animals which are uneconomical -producers. : : The immigration bill is bound to- . attract farmers and with “the more rapid settlement of our prairies the range will be entirely a thing of the. past.. With a more general settle-:: ment and utilization of all land ‘in'a community, it becomes necessary to keep such types of livestock as will:" utilize feed and labor to the advantage. ) : With this legislation o.f the Nonpartisan.league fully car- ried into operation the confidence of men engaged in the best of all types: of farming becomes fully justified and: on such a basis we hope to build up.: in this state not only greater but more efficient protection of dairy product greatest and program, .
