world if the Dardanelles were blasted
open.
Americans who have been in the
black earth region of Russia say there
are few, if any, surplus stock.
Russian railways broke down two
years ago and there has been only
enough transportation barely to sup
ply the army, operating in the poorer
parts of the country ruined by war.
The grain stored in the crude peas
ant sheds has rotted. Millions of bush
els wasted because there was no way
to get it to market.
Even Odessa, the great Black Sea
wheat port of Russia, has been on
short rations, though only few miles
from the wheat belt.
Petrograd and all the great cities
have felt the pinch. The best source
Of supply has been far Siberia, where
the international Harvester company
has erected a chain of modern wheat
elevators along the .Trans-Siberian
railway -.
The long haul on this grain has
made the supply all too scanty. The
Trans-Siberian railroad and the sreat
trunk line to the Arctic port Of Arch
angel are the only Russian roads In
any sort of condition. The lighter
roads in the wheat belt OF the south
are almost junked.
