NEAR EAST RELIEF
Article Nv.

America stands as a peer among
the nations in doing humanitarian
work and rendering relief to more I'M
fortunate subjects of other countries.
No country is more entitled to our
support at this time than little Ar
menia. The suffering of the arme.l-
ian people during the war and since
the armistice was signed has been al
most beyond human conception.
Armenia lost heavily during the
war. With her little army of 100000
men she single handed and alone re-
sisted the onslaught of the Turkish
army for six long weeks with the ap-
pualling loss of 80 percent of her
army Women and children were
driven from their homes into the
mountains and deserts and were
either tortured or killed by brutal
pursuers or otherwise suffered untold
misery by starvation and lack of shell
ter and clothing.
Lieut.. Frank Comes, recently re-
turned from the Near East, who also
attended the State Conference, told
of his experiences as follows: 'When
| was in America in 1917, went one
day with a merchant to the city OF
Depres. Two miles from the city we
came upon thousands of people, prac-
ticaly naked; also hundreds of little
children sitting on the ground and
eating the dead bodies of other little
children. Groups of girls from IL to
18, who had been driven out of Turk
ish harems, were pressing to their
empty breasts little ones, some dy-
mig, some dead. We saw old men
carrying sacks upon their backs, and
watching, saw them go to certain
groups and open the sacks, which
contained live rats. The people were
so hungry that they did not even wait
to kill or cook the rats, but tore them
apart and devoured them.
IT came to America to tell the
people here the conditions in that de-
wasted country Five months ago |
went back to Armenia, not expecting
to find my people there, and but for
the Americans. 1 would not. Ophan-
ages have been established by Amer
leans, and l saw orphans as thy were
put to bed, pray for the Americans,
who they realize have saved them.
'What are we going to do now?
Shall we stop the good work and get
lukewarm and drive the Armenians
back to the deserts, or shall we ed
ucate them?
"Americans not knowing facts, may
say we have too many drives. They
will say that the war is over and
they are sick of drives. They do not
mean it. Try TO get people to under
stand the facts and they will cooper
ate with YOU"
Contributions in the amount of
$811.77 have been received in st.
Croix County thus far. This is a
splendid beginning, but there is ur-
gent need for immediate relief and
early contributions are solicited.
Send your contributions to Mr.. Sno-
eyenbos, County Treasurer Near East
Relief, Baldwin, Wisconsin or leave
it at your local bank and ask the
banker to send it to the treasurer.

COTTON CROP not
UP To 1920 AVERAGE

From inquiries, inspections and re-
ports to the department of agricul-
ture it is found that the boil weevil
has, this year, had an ally in unfav-
orable weather conditions to an ex-
tent that cotton crop prospects are
poorer at this time than they were
this month last year. All over the
state bad stands of cotton are found
and in many places the crop is being
ploWed up.
'These conditions said Commissioner
Brown, "have been giving me no little
concern. In a great many places the farm
ers, and it is particularly true of the
smaller farmer, who believes he just
must raise some cotton to get along on,
are trying to replant. A good many of
them are putting in other crops, though,
where the cotton failed, and whenever
have been asked for an expression of
opinion 1 have told them that is the
best and safest policy in my judgment.
1.-The department Of agriculture believes
it is unWise to try to ,re-plant cotton as
late as this for two reasons: first be-
cause re-planting at this time means that
this late cotton can't possibly be gotten
ahead of the boil weevil, and it is an
open invitation to him to get into the
fields and eat the farmers head off
again. In the second place, there never
has been a time in my recollection when
farmers generally, and especially the small
farmer, realizes more the necessity for the
production of food stuffs for himself and
his stock. This year there farmers
all over the state who find themselves
unable to buy on credit the food they
actually need to keep their families, go
ing; men who last year and in the past
years had comparatively little trouble
had the cash to pay for them. Now,
when cash is being required from them
or somebody backing them for the stuff
they buy, and they can't find the back
ers to put up the money, they are realiz-
ing that home production is their only
safety.
IN all the infested spots of the state
the weevil seems to be more numerous
than he was last year, and conditions
are right now more favorable to him
and less favorable to cotton than last year
at this time.
cat the present price of cotton, even
though the crop will be grown cheaper this
year than in many years, when the cost
of calcium arsenate and its treatment to
the crop in the effort to kill off the
weevil are taken into consideration, it is
perfectly obvious to the farmer who will
lutely no inducement for him to try %
replant bad stands at this time. 1t Will
be far better and far safer for him to put
in late corn, Spanish peanuts, potatoes,
peas and things like that"
These conditions says Mr.. Brown go TO
first to the farmer is proving to him
that his best hope for the future is go
ing to lie in organized cooperation IN
handling his production.

WATERMELO MEN
ASK LOWER RATES
BY THEODORE T1LLER
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
R22 Riggs Building.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Having
failed to obtain from the railroads a
voluntary reduction in the freight
rates on watermelons from Georgia
to the northern markets, Georgia
melon growers are now asking for
a. formal hearing before the inter-
state commerce commission. The
commission has taken the applica-
ton for hearing under Amusement.
Vice President Green, Of the
Southern railway, advised few
days ago that the carriers could
not reduce their rates. He also con-
tended that freight rates played but
a small part in the prices received
by the Georgia growers ss ana 1 h0neay
were guilty of profiteering at the
expense of the growers.
Some time ago members of the
Georgia delegation went to the com
mission and asked action to brlng
down exorbitant freight rates that
would almost preclude melon snip
ments from Georgia.
The commission suggested a con-
ference with railroad officials. This
was held and then came the meet
ing of the growers, railroad men ana

assistance and now the growers want
the commission to take affirmative
action.
J. J. Parish, of Adei, secretary
manager of the Southwest Georgia
Watermelon Growers association. mas
telegraphed Senator Harris asking
that the commission give hearing
and take action before June 20.
The docket of the commission is
congested. however, and there is
doubt that it could act in time II
so inclined.
The implied charge of Vice Presi-
dent Green, of the Southern rail
way. that commission merchants at
the points of destination were MAX
ing exhorbitant profits was today
brought to the attention of the fed
eral trade commission by Senator
Harris, who asked for an investiga-
ton.
The Georgia senator furnished the
commission with a copy of Mr..
Green's letter. and pointed out the
unfair situation said to exist. The
letter from the carriers charged in
effect, that the commission mer-
chants were receiving 100 per cent
more than the grower, which Sena-
tor Harris said was "protlteering OF
the grossest kind"
