FAMINE CONDITIONS
EXIST IN RUSSIA
Albert A. johnson, Former Wisconsin
Man Relates Observations.
BOlshevfsm Not Cause Of
3 Famine

~ have lived through the most
melancholy month Of my life, IN a
land where God is denied and laugh
ter OF children is never heard.''
d In. these words Albert A. johnson,
president Of the New York school Of
Applied Agriculture, summed up his
Impressions from the famine region
of the VOlga, in an interview given
in London upon his return from the
Near East, and telegraphed to this
country. - Y
johnson, who was mentioned last
winter; as Harding's- possible choice
for secretary Of agriculture, was one
of five prominent Americans sent to
investigate conditions iii Russia and
the Near East Mr.. johnson is q
former Wisconsin man, having been
born at MacFarland in Dane county,
on Jan. /, 1880, the son Of Isak and
Aasa Johnson. His grandparents were
among the first Norwegian immigrants
in Dane county. :.
: "Our commissions estimates that
100000 people are on the brink of
starvation, . said Mr.. johnson. "Of
these about 80 per cent travel from
place to place in search of food. The
remainder of the population are
strangely silent, and with all hope ex-
tinguished they await death"
, "a starving woman asked me if we
had food in America, and when l re-
piled affirmatively she said: What
kind Of a God is it that. gives America
food and none to little Russia Truly
a bitter question. a. z. 80 g.

she touched the heads Of her six chill
dren: They are all mine I brought
them into the world; but hope that
the cholera will come and carry them
away, as 1 cannot bear to see them
die little by little Of hunger
while this woman was talking to
US redbearded fellow elbowed his
way toward us and said = defiantly,
"We are not on exhibition. If you
wish to help us, why do you not bring
us food It was starving mans

the population have little or no
clothes. Dressed in sacks with holes
cut out for the arms, they present II
scene that is heartrending.
!"Travel on the railroads is free in
Russia, but the families are not per-
mitted to flee from the famine dis
tricts. The soviets are trying TO
transport them in orderly fashion.
This, however, does not prevent hun
dreds and thousands, Of peasants from
fighting to get on the trains, where
they sit on the roofs Of cars, on the
steps, and on buffers. In the struggle
families are often separated, and l
saw several instances where children
were parted from their parents, per-
haps never to see. them again. .Fathe-
tic, crying little forms were left sit
ing alone on the platform, abandoned
and unnOticed." -2s~
n johnson said that there was little
trouble with the transportation sys-
tenn, but that each days delay meant
death to thousands. He added that
it was not true that Bolshevism was
the cause of the famine" - United

Please give me briefly the process
Of making vinegar from grapes-E.
w. D., Tryon.
Making vinegar from grape juice is
very simple. If the fresh juice is
pressed in an old vinegar barrel, vine
gar will be produced in a short while,
as the old barrel will carry the inocu-
lation which causes vinegar to form.
Some people make vinegar simply by
running the grapes through press
ard putting both juice and pomace in
the barrel. I think it better to grind
the grapes and let them stand two
days before pressing. BY this time
the pomace begins to break down and
practically all juice can be removed.
