Famine Conditions in Russia.

No greater calamity can befau the
human race han famine, with the
heartrendinE SUI rings which it entails.
These visitatious have been frequent in
China and India, and the number Of
people who have persisted thereby can
only be guessed at The districts af-
fected have been Of large area. and
contained dense populations. running
into hundreds Of millions The most
distressing feature Of famines is the
fact that they always involve such null
titudes of people. Where the area is
small, relief is comparatively easy. and
where the population is sparse there Is
less probability of food being scarce to
the famine point. except occasionally
among wild tribes. who make but little
provision for their support through the
seasons.
At this junCture the reports from
Russia concerning the food supply are
very disquieting. and Justify a fear Of
most serious conditions in the Empire
of the Car. When we consider that
Russia is a great wheat and rye ex-
porting country. it seems strange. all
most impossible. that a famine can be
threatened that involves half as many
people as live in the United States.
Nor do the estimated crop losses in that
country suggest a condition of very
great distress The falling off in wheat
is said to be only about twenty-five
million bushels. on a total average
product OF more than four hundred mill
lions. The shortage Of rye IS about two
hundred and teE millions. on a total
product last year OF nine hundred and
twenty million bushels while the loss
on oats is a little less than one hundred
million bushels. Probably the entire
shortage measured in bushels is less
than the destruction Of corn in this
country by last summers drought
II the figures given are approximate
" correct, IT would seem that the crop
deficiencies do not exceed the usual ex-
ports. and hence that the country must
have plenty Of food for its own people.
So it doubtless has If the food supplies
We're evenly distributed and The people
needing food were able 10 buy il.
But there is no such distribution. the
transportation facilities are exceedingly
poor. and the people in the famine dis
tricts have not the means with which

try. although it doubtless has produced
more food this year than the entire pop
ulatiou would ordinarily consume.

some OF it is adverse. Comparisons are
made with the expenses Of forty or fifty
