which extends from Kharkoff to the
beginning of the Crimean peninsula,
for hundreds OF miles the country, as
far as the eye can reach, is given
over almost entirely to the raising of
cereal crops. The fields are enormous,
more than one field stretching for sew
eral miles by the railway line, and
as the whole district Is sparsely pop
ulated. the problem at once presents
itself: From where are the landown-
ers to obtain an adequate supply of
labor? They must depend entirely on
the services of the villagers. and as
the latter are quite independent OF
them, they have no power to force
them to work should they be disin-
clined to do so. An instance of this

When the time arrived for the har

their own harvest was an abundant
one, there was no necessity for them
to work-point blank refused to dc

whole of the country had to be secured

to procure laborers. Throughout the
