kENTUCKIAN TELLS
OF WORST famine
The Rev. William Stout Blames
China's Catastrophe to De-
struction of Forests
WILL SPEAK OVER STATE

Destruction Of North China's great
forests during the centuries that have
passed; this deforestation which now
! leaves an area of 100000 square miles
denuded of trees, is the direct cause
of the worst famine in history. This
Is the declaration of missionaries re-
turning from the famine area and
voiced by the Rev. William Stout, who
has returned to his home in George
town. Ky., after five years in China.
The: Rev. Mr.. Stout will start a
speaking tour of the state next week
in the interest of the China Famine
Fund of which Joseph Burge, 8 Board
of Trade Building, Louisville, is chair
man.
Through the China Famine Fund,
every relief organization in China is
supplied with funds; these organiza-
tiunS Including the Red Cross, the Sal
walton Army. Christian missions, re-
lil:ious Organizat- ons and American
units.
Deforcstation Is Blamed.
"This great catastrophe which
threatens to wipe out the lives of To-
O0O.OOO persons within the next sixty
days. he said, is due to drouths, the
natural result of the denudation Of
forests which has gone ON for centu-
res in North China With few trees
OIL the land to hold the moisture the
natural consequence is that rainfall is
sflail and uncertain. Even in years
when the rainfall is sufficient the Vel
l0W River and other rivers break over
Their banks, unprotected by trees,
washing away the soil and deluging
the crops.
1T is Il prevalent idea that rice is
the main food of all the Chinese peo-
pie. This is true in South' China where
travellers get their impression and is
strengthened by the fact that nearly
oil the Chinese in America came from
South China. In the fall, wheat is
sOwn in North China and after being
harvested in the early summer, millet
aud sorghum are sown.
Roots Always Eaten.
"An these crops are harvested by
being pulled up by the roots as these
with the stalks and straw of the grain
are the main dependence for fuel. In
the years when crops are short it does
not mean only that some little luXuries
will have to be given up, but it means
that there will be less of the coarse
millet meal bread. 1t means that when
the potatoes are gone the vines will be
eaten it means that instead of two or
) three meals day there will be only
one.
when crop failure is fifty per
cent, as it often is, 1t means that many
starve to death. The last five crops
have been only about ten per cent Of
normal.
Practically all of North China is
village after village. often only sepa-
rated by a few yards of ground. In
parts of North China the population
Is twenty times denser than in Jeffer-
son County. The Chinaman may live
and carry on business in a port re-
mote from his ancestral village, but he
expects to go there and spend his last
days and be buried by the side of his
encestoEsl"
