Be Compelled to Appeal
for Aid.
BY THOMAS EMMETT.
Special Cable 10 The Tribune.


DUBLIN, Sept. 2s.-There is a fear
that many people In Ireland will be
forced TO appeal for help because of their
Ill luck with crops. The outlook few
months ago was good especially in re-
spect of potatoes. Many farmers went
heavily into planting potato seeds and
there was every indica ton that there
would he profitable return. Soon after
the HALEY comet had passed into his
tory. transforms set In. Within the past
few weeks the country has been dcluged
with rain and half of the crop has been
ruined, Hay and barley too have suf-
fered. Thousands of farmers, especially
the men who could I'll afford il. have
lost nearly all the hay they raised. Not
only have they none TO sell. but also
for their own stock. Some men who
saved a part OF their potato and barley
crops cousoling themselves with the
| idea that the shortage which must re-
suit will enhance prices TO a point that
will enable them to make up In imam
cial returns what" they lost in quantity.
The figures supplied by the registrar
general for Ireland show that the cst,-
mated population OF this country is
