RUSSIA: THE HEIRES!S OF
FAMENES

Never. in civilized lines, have so
many Old-world nations felt the pinch
of hunger at once; yet suffering from
want OF food is no few story to many
of them. Especially has ltussia beer
The luckless heir TO periods OF neh
starvation.
Writing to the National Geographic
society. Ralph a. Graves tells OF Rus
sian fumines of the past as follows:
next to the prOletarlat of India
and China. the Russian peasant has
felt the pinch of poverty and hunger
more keenly and more frequently than
any other citizen Oh earth.
"One OF the earliest famines in Rus
STA of which there is any definite rec
ord was that of 1900, which continued
for three years, with death toll OF
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs ana rats
were eaten; the strong Overcame The
weak, and in the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold. Null
tjtudes of the dead were found with
their moIt1hs stuffed with straw.
Three Russian famines of compara-
lively recent uule NciC 1ihVi9 wv
most severe i'm the history of the coun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1906 ana
1911. During the ten years following
the first of these periods of dearth
the government allotted nearly $l25,-
600, 900 for relief work, but the sums
were not always judiciously expended.
an 1906 the government gave 40
mounds Of -four month to all persons
under eighteen and over hfty-nine
years of age. All peasants between
those ages and infants under one year
of age received no allowance, and 1t
became necessary for the younger and
| older members of the family to share
their bare pittance with those for
whom no provision was made. The
suffering was intense and the mortal
ity exceedingly heavy, but the avail
able statistics are not wholly reliable
"The famine OF 1911 extended over
one-third of the area of the empire In
Europe and affected more or less di'
rectIy 30,0O0,000 people, while 5000
900 were reduced TO starvation. Weeds
the bark of trees, and bitter bread
made from acorns constituted the
chief diet for the destitute. Tlis was
unduestionably the most widespread
and most severe famine that has be
fallen European nation In modern
times

of potatoes from countries where the

ease usually completely destroys the
crop when potatoes susceptible TO 1t
are planted In badly infested soil.
Soil sterilization tests by means OF
steam and chemicals were carried out
in infested gardens In Pennsylvania
and West Virginia in 1919 and 1920.
The methods tested were: Live steam
under an inverted iron pan; solution
of formaldehyde applied to the soil,
both alone and In combination with
steam and the use of chemical solu-
tons, including bordeaux mixture, mer-
curic chloride, and sulphuric acid. The
worth of each method was tested by
planting susceptible variety of pota-
toes on the treated plots. None OF the
chemical treatments resulted in COM
plete eradication of the disease, and
steam sterilization, while it appeared
to be successful In the small trial plots,
involved such great expense and diff
Guilty as to leave the practicability Of
eradication still In doubt.
Additional experiments win have to
be carried on before specific recommen-
dations can be made. Specialists hope,
however, that some method Of treating
the soil by heat or chemicals can be
devised which will make it possible
completely to eradicate potato wart
from this country.
The work win be actively carried
forward until it is determined whether
Il satisfactory method can be found.
