FARMERS' STRIKE.
GRAIN USED FOR MONEY. NEW YORK, August 17. When farmers in some of the smaller towns of lowa took their families to the talkies yesterday they needed a lorry to carry the price of admission. The position arose because of a farmers' strike, which has now entered on its second weejs Milk and cream are drenching the ground where it is being dumped by strikers to prevent delivery through dealers who are alleged to be refusing to pay *the cost of production. In some of the smaller towns where cash has become very scarce, theatre managers are accepting grain instead of money. One manager charged a bushel or oats as admission for a child and two bushels of corn for an adult.
