serted.
Mr.. Floete drew a startling con-
trast of conditions among the
starving population in the interior
of Russia.
"They don't have time to bury
the dead and they haven't the
strength if they had the time" he
declared. "They stack 'em up.
Forty is the most I ever saw in
one pile-and they were babies.
But I don't believe they have got
to cannibalism yet, except perhaps,
in some OF the remote country dis
tricts."
The relief worker said he had
fed about $4,000 in Pugatchov,
formerly called Nicoliav. the name
having been changed because it
was the scene of one of the blood
lest of the communist uprisings in
the early days of the revolution.
"I believe they are feeding
1000 now" he said. "But 1t is
only a drop in the bucket. All Rus
sia is the same except in the big
cities, Moscow and Petrograd. Tho
whole country is starving to feed
the 100000 communists who are
running it. There Is plenty of food

where in Moscow and Petrograd.

all along the line" Mr.. Floete
continued. when we got to Pu-
gatchov, they came to us and
wanted us to sell them food. They
said IL we did not sell it, they
would steal it, so we had better

 To his dismay there was no fire in the range. He wondered at this but the presence of gas range which had been installed without his knowl edge explained it. He thought a while and then stole out and hid the pumps in can of ashes in the cavity under the front stoop. He was free from the blamed things at last and going to bed again slept like a baby.

Harness Themselves to Flows and Engage in Sturdy Cultivation; Pro-
 ducts Reported on Increase

Mexico City, August 1.-Men harnessed to blows and engaged in sturdy cultivation of the soil are not an uncommon sight in the state of Morelos, according to travellers in that region.
 Beasts of burden are scarce in that state and small farmers have met the situation by taking their places. The result is that bountiful crops are being grown there. Morelos, incidentally, IS being watched with interest here inaS- much as the governments scheme for apportionment of small tracts of land to laborers and the reversion of large haciendas to their original owners various municipalites-is being car ried out there.
 According to reports the scheme is working out well and a single district produce this year more than $6OO,OoO (pesos) worth of rice. Sugar cul1Va- ton has been abandoned temporarily because of lack of machinery which was dismantled and destroyed during various revolutionary periods and has not been restored.
 It is stated, however, that two large sugar mills are to be erected in the state which will meet all needs when the first crops are harvested within the next IS months. Morelos is known as one of the richest states in the republic but agriculture has been re- tarded because, until recently, it was owned practically in to by p land lords who are said to have failed to cultivate the land to the best ad- vantage.
