How MonEolian Laborcrs In the Grimes
Drive Out German Farmer

How MonEoIian Laborers In the Crimea
Drive Out German Farmers
should not for a moment imagine
that the Grim Tartars have learned
much of the Irish agrarian science of
boycotting through the channels of the
Russian press. as the Russian vernacu-
lar is only very imperfectly understood
among them. Yet they have devel-
oped during recent years system of
boycOtting the German proprietors in
the Crimea, which appears to have
been highly successful. The lands
formerly apportioned by the crown to
thirty thousand Tartars in the Crimean
peninsula have through the nomadie
habits and ignorance of these people
been gradually and easily acquired by
the princely and other large proprietors
for what may. in these instances, be
very appropriately termed old songs.
These lands have been subleased, in
most cases to the ubiquitous and enter
prising Germans. All these estates
are worked by Tartar labor. and so
long rs the proprietor was there or
descendant of one of the old Tartar
chieftain families things went smooth
ly. A German agriculturist with capi-
tai few years ago discovered in these
broad tracts and cheap bargains a
promising field for enterprise. with the
prospect never absent from the Russo
Germans visions ,s gradually ousting
and supplanting the native. This, how
ever. required time. but the German
reckoned on the long-sufrering patience
of the industrious, sober, ignorant and
stolid-looking Mongolian laborer. The
result has proved the German proprie-
tor to have been long way out of his
sanguine reckoning. fn many cases
he acquired estates covering areas of
from fifty thousand to two hundred
thousand acres. but the entry of the
German into possession of his estates
was the signal for rapid migration of
every Tartar la1orer and herdsman.
The Tartar pro, ,'rietors. who were his
neighbors. refused the services of their
horses, oxen and camels at any price.
no matter how tempting. The store
keepers in the neighboring towns and
fairs would not supply the Germans
wants. This Tartar boycotting has
now Succecueu III urlNinS the eTeaier
number of the German proprietors to
abandon their estates and holdings at
ruinous losses. The Governor of the
district has now submitted project to
the imperial Government for the re-
purchase of these lands and their di-
vision among the Tartars. 1t is further
| proposed that in addition to these
crown grants of small holdings to some
twenty-five thousand Tartars the Gov
ernment shall in all necessitous cases
supply each Tartar family with a few
necessary agricultural implements and
a yoke of oxen. There Is little doubt
that this project will not be accepted
by the government -Londos Daily

It can be worked either by electricity
