there are signs that the farmers and laborers
have been driven back upon the soil and are
overwhelmed with poverty. 1t is a lonely and
deserted region. The houses are a long way
apart and there are few outbuildings about
them. The villages are huddes OF wretched
cabins and there is little traffic the roads.
The land itself lies fallow, and is used mainly
for pasturing stock Nowhere are there signs
OF thrift and prosperity. Everywhere is to be

haustion; and the discouraged peasantry are
trying to convince themselves that the times
will improve now that they have local govern
