when the allies landed. There is no
prospect of North Russia feeding her
self until the next harvest-and even
this is made extremely difficult by the
shortage of seed grain.
The allied food committees in Arch

population. The conditions that prevail
in this territory among a population of
half a million are believed to prevail

Central Russia under Bolshevik control.
The American Red Cross has ceased
civilian relief on a large scale in the
ArChangel district, since this work Is
TO be taken over by the Hoover federal
organization, whose representatives at
this date have not arrived. The Arch
angel Viestnik, commenting on the sit
uation. says: IF the northern region
desires to be able to subsist on its
own supplies, the necessary seed grains
must be received not later than in four
months. If they are not received in
that time, the population is either con-
demned to starvation or they will de-
pend entirely upon the allies

INDICATIONS POINT TO
BUMPER RICE CROPS

BEAUMONT, Tex, May 17.-Despite
heavy rains that prevented harvesting
of much of last years rice crop, indi-
cations are that rice acreage this year
will be larger han ever before. Two
of the biggest canal companies in this
section report that rice farmers have
applied for more water for the next
crop than the canal companies can fur
nish.
Neither rice millers nor growers have
been able to compile exact figures on
the rice milled this year, The rains
interfered with harvesting to such ex-
tent that much of the crop remains
to be threshed, and even while blowing
is proceeding for the next crop. The
late start will delay this years crop at
least three weeks, according to f. A.
Eignus. general manager of the South
ern Rice Growers association, which
represents planters of Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas.
Estimates, based on rice marketed,
the amount on hand and the amount
still in the field, place the 1918 crop
at about 1000, 900 bags less thar the
governments last estimate before har-
vesting began. This amount is taken
to represent the planters actual loss
through extreme rains. Rice at present
is worth about So a bag, making the
monetary loss in the three states $l6,-
900,
