NO PLANS FOR HELPING JEWS.
State Department Finds No Basis for
Action in kishineff Affair,

Washington, May 1s.-None Of the
many resolutions relative to the kis-
hineff outbreak adopted at various
places in the United States has
reached the state department and the
officials have nothing new- before
them upon which to proceed. 1t is no,
known whether further instructions
have been sent to ou,, embassy at St.
Petersburg. So far the department
has only newspaper clippings regard
ing the kishineff massacre and it
scarcely feels authorized to move
upon that basis, even if it had the
power to do so.
Admitting desire to investigate in
disregard of the formal assurance of
the Russian government to Ambassa-
dor Mccormick, the department would
probably have to content itself with
the sworn statements of refugees from
kishineff.

ST. Louis, May 19.-L. Pearlstone, a
commission merchant here, has re-
ceived a letter from relative in kis-
hineff, Russia, describing the horrors
of the recent massacre or Jews there.
The letter was written on April II
and says the writer and his wife were
both badly beaten and nearly killed,
but, with their two children, managed
to escape to the home of their eldest
son, who lives in house owned by a
rich man who paid the police to guard
his houses. This house was protected
and not even window III it was
broken.
The writer declares the massacre
was perpetrated by robbers, who were
protected and aided by the police. He
described at some length the terrible
scenes OF bloodshed and carnage that
he witnessed, and concludes by as
serting that had the onslaught con-
tinued one day longer the Jews would
have all been killed and none left
to bury the dead. He said that dur
Ing the massacre he, from his place of
concealment, saw police smoking their
pipes and calmly watching the robbers
butcher the Jews. The cries of the

killed could be heard or all sides
Stores were looted and every piece OF
merchandise thrown into the streets
| When the soldiers and hussars ar
rived quiet was quickly restored and
the Jews came forth to bury theil
dead. Many bodies were so badly mu
ilated that they had to be buried ir
boxes without Identification.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.
| The solution Of the Farm Labor
Problem . Dimcult 0ne, But Ma
chinery Does IL Partially.

There 10 everywhere complaint of
scarcity of farm labor, and II there
were no scarcity of labor in the
country there would be q scarcity in
the cities. There is work for every
person who ought to work, and II
there are -lvafers and shirks and 9TH
ers, who ought to but will not work,
the balance between demand and sup
ply of his great commodity is de-
stroyed and necessarily the demand
exceeds the supply. Labor is scarce
on farms, because much of the coun-
try muscle goes to the cities where
wages are higher and the means for
spending wages everywhere abound.
True many of these men and boys
from the country may be seen digging
sewers, shoveling clay, sweeping
streets, driving garbage wagons, and
MANY of them on the rockpile or in
the municipal boarding house, await
ing an assignment. But only few OF
them can be considered as having bet
tered their condition, unless in their
own estimation decorated vice IL to
be preferred rather than plain virtue.
The solution of the farm labor prob
lem is a dificult but not hopeless
task. Already improved implements
have enabled one man to do as much
farm work as three or four men
could do before. But the profitable
use of such implements requires q
higher order of intelligence than u
required to drive mule and guide
turn pillow, and to secure such labor
higher prices must be paid. Improved

land that does not overflow to any
considerable extent, or where the wa

four feet of the surface, pillow deep,
subsoil, if possible, pulverize well,
and by the middle of June sow this
land to COW peas, any variety that
will cover the ground well with vines
and be ready to take off early in
September. This will put the land in
better condition for propagation
than any other summer crop. This
crop of peas and hay will pay you
well for the work, and will add 4
valuable fertilizer to the soil. As
soon as the peas are taken of, put
this land in just as fine condition al
possible, then sow broadcast about
eighteen pounds of clear alfalfa seed

be obliged to wait for seasonable

scrubs; but the handling Of fine stock
calls for greater intelligence and
skill, and better men at better pay
are required here. But this better
paid labor is more profitable to the
employer than the other sort. Scar
city of farm labor will compel farm
ers to do some thinking. They will
have to plan labor-saving convent
cnces in every farm operation. Barns,
stables, pens and even crops can be so
arranged and so located as to save a
large amount of time and many steps,
thus enabling one man to do that
which formerly required two or
more. A little ingenuity will be able
to save labor at almost every turn.
A farmer was making a plank drag.
He wanted it six feet wide and his
boards were IL feet long and the old
hand saw dull. His son, who was
helping him, said, PA, let's make it
as long as the planks." 1t was done
and the result was better work and
clear saving of four days labor of
man and two mules. Planting a soil
ing crop on three sides of the feeding
pen was estimated by the farmer who
did il to have saved at least weeks
time in the labor of feeding. Then la
bor-saving implements for preparing
the land, planting, cultivating and
harvesting crops are entitled to all
the thought the farmer can bring to
bear on the subject, and if he does
this mental work well, and puts his
conclusion into practice he can be to
a large extent independent of cheap
farm labor, and cam make higher
priced labor profitable.-Texas Farm
