RUMANIA GIVES
PEASANTS LAND;
YIELD IS LARGE.
Plan Has Brought About a
Degree of COntentment
and Satisfaction Hereto
fore Unknown.
(By The Associated Press)

JaSSy, Rumania, oct. 29.-Ru-
mania's agrarian reform act, Civ
ing 5000 600 acres of state, inSti-
tutional and private lands to the
peasants, has been in operation a
year and has brought about a de-
gree of cCntentment and satisfac-
ton among the population hereto
fore unknown. For the first time
in Rumania's history the peasants
have been given outright owner
ship of land. King Ferdinand was
the first to give up part of his
large land holdings to the people
The appropriation of large pri-
vate estates by the government did
not please the proprietor classes
but it has had Il steadying intlu-
enCe upon the temper and spirit
of the people. who now have little
sympathy for bolshevist doctrines.
Nearly IS per cent of the people of
Rumania are supported by agri-
culture and under their ownership
the land during the last year has
yielded larger and better crops
than even before.
Peasants Are COuntry's Hope.

Rumania consists of the peasantry,
who combine thrift with industry.
In fact the peasant class consti-
tutes the real Rumania. The whole
hope of the country is bound up in
1T. a large percentage of illteracy
prevails. but the people possess
many good qualities. One sees the
same hand worked costumes that
obtained in the middle ages, the
same goodness of heart and sim
plicity of manner which always
characterize highly stratified So
cieties whore people know their
stations in life and act accordingly
The bulk of the Rumanian ma
ton still lives in dirt-floored huts
made of woven branches and plas-
tered with mud. The people sleep
upon the floor or upon benches
with their day clothes on. often six
to ten Of them in one miserable
low-ceiled room ten feet square. In
many cases the poultry. pigs and
cattle occupy the same room.
White Bread Not Touched.
While Rumanian cities have
made decided progress during the
last twenty-five years, the country
the real heart of Rumania-has
been practically stationary. The
ox-drawn wooden pillow, the hand
scythe and the wheat fail used in
Biblical times are still to be seen.
Although producing enough
wheat to supply all Europe with
bread. the Rumanian peasant does
not touch white bread. His diet
consists almost entirely of a sort
of corn-meal mush (mamaliga),
boiled so stiff that when it cools it
resembles corn bread of the south
ern states. This meager food in
sufficiently supplemented with fats,
is accountable for the large amount
of pellagra in neutrality-suspicious.
