Plague Threatens Granarles.

And now the plague threatens Chi

be checked. Mr.. Crane asserts, the
granary relied on for the relief OF mil
lions OF famine victims in North China

''The situation is rendered more Sc
rious," writes Mr. Crane, "by the fact
that Manchuria is literally crowded
with foreign exiles." There are no
fewer than 100000 Russians who fed
before the BOlShevik executioners,
25OO00 Koreans, and thousands of Chi
nese who formerly lived in Siberia, but
who have been driven into Manchuria
by the Red Armies.
Concerted efforts are being made
In cities and towns along the Chinese
Eastern Railway to combat the plague,
hospitals being established and the
victims isolated. Efforts also are un-
der way to fight the source of the dis
ease-the rats that carry the germ.
Thousands Of persons already have
died, and have been given hasty burial.

In the famine area there are approx
imately 100000 persons subsisting
on dry leaves, bark and roots, and only
through the speed of funds to OBTAIN
this grain before it is cut off by the
plague can these people be saved from
death by starvation.
The raising of funds now, at the
time when all efforts must be speedily

through organizations in local csmmu-
mites. The Rev. DIR. L. Y. Mullins,

"sPEED UP FUNDS" IS PLEA

In a recent report from Charles r.

bonic plague which a few months ago
appeared in Northern Manchuria, has
crept southwark until 1T now threat

But during these days, months and
even years, when the food was gone,
China did not raise her voice for help.
The world did not know of the great
tragedy in the Far East enacted on a
parched stage with 100000 famish-
ed people as the actors.
1t seemed that at last their troubles
had ended when the green things be-
gan to peep above the ground last sum-

mankind-locusts in droves, in clouds
so thick they obscured the light of sun

most over night the earth was stripped
of every living growing thing. The
stage once more was parched, brown,

had passed into the land Of their an
cestors.

an instance Is recited describing the
terrible destitution st the famine

 The soil should be we'll and deeply prepared and very thoroughly irrig at ed before planting. After blowing 1t should be worked down finely with disc and floated. Seed is best sown by means of a grain drill. Since Sudan seed is not very large it is es- sential that it shall not be planted too deeply. but on the other hand weather conditions at this time of year jeopar- dize the results if Sudan is planted very shallow. Therefore, the success depends on having thoroughly moist seed bed. quickly and finely worked down after irrigation with the Sudan planted from an inch and quarter to an inch and one-half deep. It is, of course, essential. that all seed be in moist soil. Under these conditions 1t will germinate very rapidly and begin a speedy growth.
 Planting at a heavy rate Is good policy since the first cutting of hay is thereby made finer. When plant~ ing early in the season, later cuttings than the first stool out sufficiently as rule to give a fairly fine hay.
