Noble is a rich contractor who has been milk ing the county for five years. Murray is one of the county commissioners of St. Louis County. The farmers of Markham, under the leadership of the United Farmers League, realize that the struggle against the handing out of the county funds to this road contractor is not a problem of their township alone. While they have forced Noble off of the roads in their township, they know that he will be put to work on some other roads in the cunty. Therefore they call for joint action of all of the farmers of the county on this issue. Thru the St. Louis County Hunger March of September 21, the farmers of the county learn ed of the necessity of united action—of county wide struggle. Only in exceptional cases are our immediate demands confined to our own township or pre cinct. Our brother farmers in the neighboring townships or precincts are faced with the same oppression, the same burdensome taxes, foreclos ures, and sales for taxes as we ourselves. If we join them in action we can strengthen our forces. Our front will he a broader one and our chances of successful struggle will be increased many fold. . It is the duty of all United Farmers League locals in addition to spreading the UFL in their own townships or precincts, to see to it that lo cals of the United Farmers League are built in neighboring townships where they do not already exist. Where there are two or more United Farmers League locals in adjoining townships or in the same vicinity it is their joint duty to see to it that they discuss their common problems and prepare for joint activity. A good way to start off would be to have a joint meeting of the executive mittees of the two or more locals where the ty problms will be discussed, goal of these joint conferences should be the ganization of a functioning county committee of the United Farmers League to guide the work of the entire county. This has been done in many counties but is still a task for the majority of them. Organizationally we have a more important task ahead—a task which must be accomplished in the next several months. This is the organiza tion of a FUNCTIONING state apparatus for the United Farmers League. In several states we have state organizers. As far as a state apparatus is concerned in these states these organizers are it. This weakness in our organization must be overcome. Our goal must be to organize a State Executive Committee as soon as possible. This should be done thru a state conference of the United Farmers League to be called as soon as possible. All county organizations of the United Farmers should take up this question in the immediate fut ure. The decision reached should be communi cated to the National Office of the United Farm ers League, Box 94, Superior, Wisconsin, so that the National Office may give guidance and aid in the organization of the state apparatus. The intensified misery that is being forced on the toiling farm masses make it imperative that we build the struggle against the capitalist class at a very rapid pace. Most important is the ex tension of our apparatus. Comrades. Here are ou tasks. A TOWNSHIP com coun The organizational or CHINA es, that they are participant* in j the looting of China and in the i subjection of the Chinese masses , to imperialist exploitation. ! It is not only in Shanghai that the imperialists are united in | plunder. The bankers of all the I imperialist countries are support- i ing. the Japanese in the further invasion of Manchuria. The Jap anese are using Harbin, which they recently captured, as a basis for the advance toward the Soviet Union. The aims of Hie imperial ists are to smash the Red Army of,Soviet China, the army of the toiling Chinese masses, and to at tack the Soviet Union, the fatnei land of the workers and farmers °f the entire world.

ORGANIZATION OF THE yNITEQ FARMERS LEAGUE WHEREVER THE PRODUCERS NEWS IS SPREAD. WHEREVER WE HAVE -A TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION WE MUST BUILD TOWNSHIP ORGANISATIONS IN THE ADJOINING TOWNSHIP^. / WHEREVER "WE HAVE TWO OR MORE ^OWNSHIP ORGANI ZATIONS IN THE SAME COUNTY g, WE MUST HAVE A COUNTY ORGANIZATION. < WHERE WE HAVE TWO OR MORE COUNTY ORGANI ZATIONS, WE MUST BUILD A STATE ORGA NIZATION. THIS IS OUR TASK THIS MUST BE AC COMPLISHED NOT IN THE DISTANT FUTURE BUT IN THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS UP WARD TO A MASS UNITED PAR.M^S LEAGUE ! t ft ' UFL——— OF THE EXPLOITED! We received the following letter fron) a farmer in Elmo, Mich., last week; "Dear Comrade Editor: There are in tibia community lots of farmers. who would join the United Farmers League if it were not that they are afraid that they'll have to give tip their religion.'* Undoubtedly many other comrades have met farmers who feel similarly. What is the United Farmers League? The United Farmers League is the MASS organization of the small and middle farmers. Thru the United Farmers League the toiling farm masses are organizing in order to protect their homes, and the very existence of their families and themselves in this most terrible crisis. In order to protect themselves the toiling farm masses must organize in solid ranks. Only their iron ranks can stand off the on slaught of the capitalist class, the exploiters, the Federal Land Banks, the land companies, the tax collectors, all of whom are attempting to get the very last penny that the farmer has and will evict him from the land when they can get no more out of him. They do not discriminate among the farmers on the basis of their religion. Wheth er a farmer is a Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, Jew or atheist, he can be pretty certain of the same brutal treatment from the exploiters, from the bankers and their state. The toiling farmers can expect more of this non-discriminatory exploita tion. They have already had a bitter draught of it. The attack by the Federal Land Banks on the toiling farmers which is being pushed at the very lime when the Hoover Hunger government is spreading the most hypocritical propaganda about the "relief" that is being given the farmers—is an attack on them regardless of their religious beliefs or lack of them. This attack is not against Bap tist or Catholic or Lutheran or atheist farmers— this attack is against small and middle farmers, against the toiling farmers, AGAINST THE EX PLOITED. THIS IS THE ATTACK OF THE EXPLOITERS'. We are Congregational, Methodist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and atheist farmers as far as our re ligious beliefs or lack of them are concerned. But AS FARMERS WE ARE SMALL AND MIDDLE FARMERS, WE ARE OF THE TOILING FARM MASSES, WE ARE OF THE EXPLOITED. SINCE WE HAVE LIVED AS THE EXPLOITED, SINCE OUR EXISTENCE IS THREATENED BY THE EXPLOITERS, WE MUST ORGANIZE AS TOILING FARMERS, AS MEMBERS OP THE CLASS THAT IS EXPLOITED. The United Farmers League calls on the toil ing farm masses to take up the struggle for their very existence, against the present misery that they now suffer and the still more brutal misery that the capitalist class is threatening and preparing to force on them in order to save its billions that have been piled up out of the sweat, the blood, and the misery of the exploited of the entire country, the exploited of the city and of the land. Toiling farmers! The United Farmers League does not ask you of what religious faith you are or if you have any religious beliefs whatever. The United Farmers League does point out to you that the only way in which we farmers can protect our farms and our homes from the hands of the sher iff and of his masters, can protect our wives and our children from the intensified misery of the capitalist crisis is thru militant mass organization. The United Farmers League calls on you to orga nize in ten thousand ranks to spread the struggle around your immediate demands—demands which j you shall draw up in accordance with your local conditions, a struggle which must not only be built by you but which must be organized by you. The United Farmers League does not ask whether you are Greek Catholic, Lutheran or Methodist. But it does ask if you will organize with your fellow toiling farmers. It not only asks, hut urges and calls on you to organize now to re pel the attacks of Wall Street and of its agents. Mass organization of the toiling fanners in soli darity with the workers of he cities is the onlv bulwark that will stand against the horrible on slaught of the capitalist class. WE ARE OF THE EXPLOITED. AS SUCH WE HAVE LIVED, AS SUCH WE MUST ORGA NIZE FOR STRUGGLE. BUILD THE UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE—OF THE EXPLOITED AND AGAINST THE EXPLOITERS. CAUF. VETS (Continued from last week) bankers and the capitalist class, not for the war veterans, workers and farmers, whose living stand ards are being driven lower and lower by the demands for interest for th«FbondboIders. He is proud of the fact that seventy-two percent of the veter pis have been able to pay their interest and installments on prin cipal. But his pride like his "alarm" is not concerned with the veterans. He is proud that the capitalist class is still sure that it can squeeze its demands out of the seventy-two per cent He is not "alarmed" by the fact that these seventy-two per cent have only been able to pay their inter est by driving themselves and their families more strenuously, by flashing their own standards of living down to existence stand ards. This is what these veterans now have—fourteen years after tfm> helped to make the world safe for th democracy and exploitation of Wall Street. l f 000 New Subscribers by March 16th )t\ ... . . .il We are breaking into new territories right along; but there are a lot of places left yet where they do not . . n 1 VT J , VT know about the Producers News.

USE LOCAL STORIES TO SPREAD THE PRODUCERS NEWS Bagley, Minn., Feb. 8.—Will you send us a bundle of fifty Producers News of the issue that will have the news that was sent from Clearwater County. This letter which we received in the past tew days shows just what effective use can be made of local stories in spreading the Producers News. The United Farmers League in Bagley, Minnesota, sent in a good story of their local struggles and now they are going to use fifty copies of the Producers News containing this story in or der to get subs. The farmers will be convinced that it is their paper when you can show them a story of their own county—a story that shows them, on the basis of their own conditions, that the United Farmers League is lead ing them in their struggles and that the Producers News is the paper of their class, that the Producers News is the paper of the toiling masses. Butte, Mont., Feb. 6.—Please find enclosed an article regarding our Feb. 4 demonstration. When you publish this please send us an order of 200 paper». The last local story in the paper brought much favorable comment on the Producers News among the miners in Butte. The literature agent reports that the bundle order of fifty sold out in half an hour. • | 1 The Producers News fights not only in the interest of the toiling farm masses but for the united struggle of these farm masses with the workers in the cities against the common enemy—the Wall Street bankers, the capi talist class. The miners of Butte are recognizing this. The unemployed workers of Butte are realizing this. That is the reason why the Unemployed Council of Butte is spreading the Producers News among these miners. They sent in a good story of the demonstration on February 4 and ordered 200 copies of the Fet* 12 issue. The Producers News will help them organize the unem ployed workers of Butte to wrench relief from the Ana conda-owned government of Butte and of the entire state. These are not isolated instances of good local stories Every issue of the paper carries perhaps a dozen good stories. It is the duty of every United Farmers League local which sends in a story to see to it, thru the ordering of a good sized bundle, that this story of their local con ditions gets good distribution among the farmers. If the Council one the Producers News to unemployed MINERS and other workers, we ought to be able to do much better, relative ly, selling the papers among FARMERS. This is a job which can be done and should be done, not only by the UFL locals but by every single farmer who sends in a story. That doesn't mean that you should take 200 papers. Get 10 or 20 or whatever you think you can distribute if you put in some activity. We'l stand the burden of carrying the extra papers until you get paid for them. With the copy of the paper containing the story of your locality you can go to the farmers and tell them, Here Bill, the Producers News has a story about county (or township or precinct). What do you think of it.'" Then you can point out to him that the local papers wont print these stories and that the reason the Producers News does, is that it is the paper of the toiling farmers—-HIS PAPER. < < our Let's see who is going to be the first to send in the next order for a bundle containing one of your local stories—or if you already get a bundle, who is going to increase the order.

Several weeks wrote to the Ural W'orker (Uralski Rabo chi) in Sverdlovsk in the Soviet Union and asked the comrades there if th€y would gather information for us about the col Active farms in their neighbor hood. We did this to get for the farmers of the United States some more information about the pro gress that their brothers are mak ing in the Soviet Union, The answer of the comrades in Sverdlovsk follows: some Jan. 28, 1932 The Producers News, Plentywood, Montana. Dear Comrades: We are in receipt of your let ter of the 7th inst In a couple of days we will forward you -an art icle showing a general picture of farming conditions in the Ural territory, growth of collective farms, etc,, with some photo graphs. Needless to say that we are anxious to get a copy of the Producers News and in our turn will send you several samples of farming papers and journals pub lished in Sverdlovsk. With comradely greetings, THE URAL WORKER Sverdlovsk, USSR. FREDERICK, S. D, CO-OPERATIVE GETS BEHIND PRODUCERS NEWS IN DRIVE Jo? rde in» ut iinH FREDERICK, S. D., Feb. 18.— The co-operators of the P«d*ri-L community have felt for a long time the necessity for combatting «£ of misleading and slanderous propaganda which has been spread this locality ana elsewhere by the Finnish "co-operative" published in Superior, Wisconsin. The intention has been to mislead the supporters of our oo-operative ana thereby hinder our wo^k and progress. This need has been so great, and the demand of tie mem mgLsten t thats ome means must be found to counteract •- ^ f ^Tthe local cc-operative institutions ana The SSaUve mo von ent in general, that the Board of Directors 0 fft* Co-operative Mercantile Company at their meeting decided tn appropriate $150.00 out of the educational fund and senu the Prod* g' N J ws to our stockholders and patrons. ° dUe ' Tlirough this means, we hope, the readers of the Producers ,^11 leam the basic reasons for the co-operative controversies and what the workers and farmers should do under the present ever dee». ;ning economic crisis. This is the one reason why some of ^ Frederick who have not taken the Producers News before are ceiving the paper for six months. We realize fully and more so now than ever that the co-operative movement is in danger of becoming nothing but the tool m the hand* 5 f the profiteering and exploiting class; in direct contradiction of the purpose and intent of the co-operative movement when it was first founded. The co-operative movement should and must be made a weapon in the hands of the working class, the producers and consum ers. The co-operative movement is of no use to the workers and farm ers unless it is made a means to unite toilers in the struggle for à better standard of living and to abolish poverty from the earth. To be a consciencious co-operator education is necessary, learning of the econmic system under which we are living. It is a disgrace to see on the one hand the great successful "co-operative" institutions with large dividends and other immediate material benefits and at the same time see people living In the utmost misery and starvation, without bare necessities of life. Witness for example the National Grain Corpora tion run and operated by high salaried officials, working under the control of the capitalist class, but under the false name of co-oper tion." Ask yourselves why are the exploiters favorable to such so called co-operation and why do they preach neutrality to the ative movement. »TI 10* mass ith in P in al and iyin ie. lit] ■n iio iat you in now re 'e >orl »n ;nt ital i .4 iil< itc P m li( co-oper ♦ * ♦ ♦ * « In the name of the Producers News, the United Farmers League and the militant farmers of the entire country who are rallying for the struggle against the mis ery of capitalism we greet the the class conscious action of our comrades in Frederick, South Da kota. The comrades in Frederick point out to us the role of the working class co-operative and of capital ist "co-operation." The working class co-operative of workers and farmers is a direct organ in the class struggle. Any other "co-op eration", whether it be the Feder ai Farm Board "co-operatives," the small co-operatives which strive to show dividends as high as capitalist institutions at the close of the year, are only part the capitalist system of exploita tion and misery.
