STOCK EATS ROOTS
To SUSTAIN LIFE
IN V0LGA DISTRICT
(Rx Associated Pressl

SEMAYSNKENA, Russia, Sept. T.
Desolation is written large on the roll
ing prairies which stretch away on
every side of this little village in the
heart of the famine region of the Vol
ga. Cattle and horses have cropped
the sparse herbage until the very
grass roots have been eaten, and the
hot winds that blow across the waste
raise great clouds of dust from the
parched fields.
The winter wheat must be sowed
soon, but nowhere has there been any
preparation for the fall seeding. 1t is
the general practice for the farmers
to SOW their wheat by Sept. Is, but
that date will find the fields lying
fallow, for there are no horses to
plow the ground and the people are
unable to secure seed for the next
harvest.
So the fields are not made ready to
receive the seed, and the country lies
stark and gray, withered by the
drought. The leaves that still cling
to the trees are gray, and even the
peasants look gray, being clad mostly
in khaki uniforms and grain sacks
and wearing sandals made of birch
bark.
Over One-thrd Leave.
This village formerly had a popula.
ton of 1000, but 40 per cent of the
people have left. Deaths from hunger
have been numerous, the peasants say
but there are no detailed figures
available. Cholera has not been epi
/ demic here or in the other villages oi
| Samara province, but there have beer
a few scattered cases in the city oI
! Samara, and in other crowded centers
however, hygenic conditions have
| been bad because of the influx oI
| great numbers of refugees.
| Peasants here are pessimistic over
the coming of relief. They say tha
aid will come too late. Pure rye bread
| costs 5000 rubles pound, while meal
| costs 5000 rubles a pound, and only
a few of the wealthy people are abl,
to buy.
Everywhere the Associated Pres.
correspondent has travelled through
Samara province, he has seen ragget
women and children gathered il
groups discussing the famine. Foo,
is the sole topic of conversation. Th'
men are busy hauling loads of tre'
boughs to use as fodder for thei
starving cows and horses.

mind regarding the railroad funding
BILL which will be one of the pieces
of unfinished business" before the
senate after the recess.
The bill was passed bv the house
shortly before the recess. He believes
that most of this confusion is due to
the fact that up-to-date what discus

been couched in financial terms rather
than translated into the language of
the everyday citizen.
Representative Green, who is a close
student of railroad problems and one
of ablest advocates of the funding bill,
also asserts that propaganda distribut-
