AMERICAN RED CROSS
RELIEF IN SIBERIA

vladivostok, (By Mail) July 90
The task OF the American Red Cross
In western Siberia as the summer
wanes remains a heavy one and with
the coming OF cold weather 1t will be
even greater. Reports from the west
show that the expected sharp de-
crease In the necessity for refugee re-
lief has not taken place because the
fighting between the Kolchak forces
and the Rolsheviki on the Ural front
has forced thousands OF refugees
who had planned to return to their
homes to remain in Omsk, Tomsk.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Petropavlovsk and
other centers OF population. The
small. but growing tide OF refugees
westward across the Trials has COM
plete,y stopped and with the resultant
congestion OF homeless families In the
cities the danger from typhus is great
" increased, not to speak OF hunger
and exposure.
Or. Dorcmus Scudder director OF
American Red Cross felief in Western
Siberia. who has just completed an
inspection of the situation. reports:
''In strong contrast with the out
look OF few weeks ago, shared by
the government which had perfected
plans for moving refugees home and
Cross, there is very little thought any
where now OF the possibility ofs an
early closing of our work for needy
civilians"
DR. Scudder also reports that the
number OF refugees in Omsk has
steadily risen in spite Of strict regu-
lations against flooding the city with
refugees, and now the city is as
crowded MS In mid-winter. During
six months. he states, 1i.773 persons
in Omsk have been given assistance
on investigation of their needs by
the Red Cross.

FARM DRAINAGE

Good drainage is the basis of all
successful farming and until the
farmers and leaders Of farm work
recognize this fact they cannot hope
to put their land in shape to yield
maximum crops. Good drainage
likewise increases the land value.
The demand for increased crop pro-
duction brought about by the war in
the past few years has caused many
thousands OF idle acres of swami
and low lands to be drained and thus
brought back to a state OF produc-
tiveneEs.
