fIocts amount TO more than 200 head OF
sheep 17s per cent. BY this order the
grazing OF horses and cattle was also
curtailed to some extent and the order
is applicable only on the Manti forest re-
serve.
A petition against the enforcement OF
this order is being circulated in Manti

county and is TO be presented to james
Wilson. secretary of agriculture.
This petition has been worded as

creation Of the Manti forest reserve (tho

that the grazing of mountain watersheds
might be regulated by federal control.
The results were that the big flock
masters were curtalled In their grazing
privileges until the above condition
ceased TO be and that these reductions of
the number OF sheep allowed TO graze on
the reserve have been made from time to
time as the forestry officials have deemed
necessary TO protect the range and there

Last year the Sanpete County Equitable

reference to their rights as bona fide
residents and land owners to be allowed
permits To Craze their sheep on this re-

permits. The officers of this association
are preparing to counteract the petition
of the big flock masters and will set up
the claim that the grazing privileges OF
those holding permits should be curtaied
so that grazing permits may be given
new applicants without overstocking the
reserve.

northern part of the province of Anhui
north and east of the Hwai and Kwo
rivers, about 1000 square miles in ex-
tent and containing population of ap'
proximately 100000 people,
The famine was caused by the de-
struction of fall crops through foods re-
sulting from the heaviest summer rain
falls on record.
Thousands of refugees have left the
district, but many Of those insure of
securing support elsewhere, are remain
ing, preferring to die in their native
place,
1t is estimated that million farmers
will be dependent upon charity for their
existence until the spring crops.
Robber bands, as early as September
desperate at the prospect of starvation,
travelled through the country, pillag'
ing, terrorizing and killing. Serious
trouble was only averted by the bring
ing an of troops over the new Tientsen-
Pukou railroad, and BY many execu-
eminent compounds.
Twenty.three inches of rain, it is re-

time of the rainy season, and the re-
sultant floods swept away hundreds OF
villages. Thousands of people are re-

a railroad bridge is said to have

The people have been left so poor
that they are able to sow only one
third or one-half of the usual amount
of wheat. 1t will thus take several
years for the region to recover, 1t is
expected that the government will send
relief. Chinese and foreign relief com
