huybandry at the University Of Illi-

saws Professor Yapp in preface to

more readily compared"
The professors report also shows
the FIVE leading butter fat produc-

breeds with the exception of one,
the Ayrshire, have an average. pro-

RUSSIA FACES MONTHS OF HORROR
IN FAMINE DISTRICT; AMERICANS
PREDICT 10000. 600 DEATH TOLL

At Tsaratsin, Saratoff, Smara,
Ufa, Orenburg and Kazen, frozen
bodies are stacked high awaiting
burial in trenches which workmen
can not prepare fast enough for the
victims of famine. exposure and
typhus- and every day the situa-
ton is growing worse.
American relief workers.. who
originally cautiously placed the
number of probable deaths in the
famine area this winter at 1000, 900,
now say that the 5000, 900 mark is
a low estimate, and many say the
number may reach 10000, 900 or
even more. This is possible, par
ticularly since the shortage of
horses, oxen and cameIs make it
impossible to reach the more re-
mote sections and since it is pre-
dicted the typhus epidemic probably
will be the worst that Russia has
ever suffered.

Chairman Lewis spoke of the honor
