Biography is being determined by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington in an effort to
remove so fur as possible the hazard
of errors in crop reporting.
In recent experiments at Tallulah,
La, in cooperation with the Army Air
service photographs of fields of cotton,
corn and hay were made at heights
ranging from $500 to 1000 feet with
the plane travelling at the rate Of
so. to 80 milesNan hour. In photographs
taken at 1000 feet it is possible to
distinguish the fields planted to the
various crops. With the Use of a
''planimeter" 1t is then possible to
measure the exact acreage in the diff
ferent fields shown in the photo

Riga. we have motored over some
of the estates that are now being
subdivided and I have talked with the
farmers. So far the chief allotments
have been In the three provinces Of
Livonia, Courland and Mitau. Lat
gale, which Is near Russia and Is in
habited largely by Roman Catholics,
has. not been much subdiv!ded. The
property there resembles that OF Rus
STA, the farmers living in the villages
and going out to work on the lands.
In the first three provinces the Gus
toms are more like those of Germany.
1t is to them that this letter relates.
The assistant secretary OF agricul-
ture tells me that some of the land
is being granted on long leases, with
a low valuation and a nominal rental
in such a way that the man can pay
for his property gradually and finally
get a fee simple title. The whole
country has been subdivided into dis
tricts and each district has its own
land organization. Each applicant
must prove that he has enough help
to cultivate his holding, and horses
and cows and sufficient machinery.
He must give his experience as a
farmer. and furnish also reputation
for thrift and good character. This
evidence is brought before the local
committee, and, if they approve the
application, it Is sent TO the district
committee who passes upon it and
forwards 1t to the state central COM
mittee which has the final decision.

new fields they followed the piow-
man to throw the manure into the

OF the women wear mems boots and
some have dirty coats os sheepslxin

The women do much of the work of
the cities. see them in Riga push
ing carts and carrying great loads of
wood in bags on their backs. There
are more women than men IN the
markets, and such stalls as sell the
products of home industry are usually
managed by women, who carry their
wares for miles into town and, when
the market is over, take back home
what they have left. The first sight
that met my eyes as the train came
into the capital OF I4atvia was a dozen
fat-bed cars backed up against a
sandbank and a score OF women, thir-

short skirts and big shoes, and hand

Estates Divided IN WarBorn Republic of Latva Baltic

of the estates have already been con-
fiscated and 500 of these nabobs of
the past are each reduced to about
125 acres. Thirty thousand new farms
have been laid out since the republic
was organized. and 10000 more will
be created this year. In all, there
Will soon be more than 100000 new
iandholders living on properties which
were held by a few hundred before
the war. A tract three-fourths as
large as the state of Massachusetts,
has thus been opened to settlement.
Hundreds of surveyors are at work,
and the new holdings are being dis
tributed as rapidly as the lines can be
drawn. Not only the estates of the
barons, but government lands and
others are being allotted. and an en-
tire new land system is in progress.
The desire for real estate in Europe
surpasses that OF all others and there
are several applicants for every good
piece of property. 1 am told that
there are at least 10000 men who
want lands, and that their desires
vary with their conditions and sur-
roundings and their peculiar ambi-
tions. The tracts to be allotted are
of different sizes. ranging from in
dustrial sites near the towns. and
garden patches of five or ten acres,
up to the hundred. acres or more to
the dirt farmers who expect to live
on the land and get all of their sus-
tenance from it.
Many OF the new farms have only
thirty-seven acres, and their average
size is about f1fty-five acres. In each
case the land is sold at low prices,
with long terms of payment. Some
OF the mortgages run from thirty to
fifty years, and for the first five years
no interest is charged. The men pay
nothing upon taking over the lands,
but they must prove their good faith
and their prospects of payment.

ut is large and embraces the best
classes of our people. One half of its
members belong to the parliament,
government officials and a technical
staff.
AS we drove over the country I
could see buildings going up every
where. The old cabins have new
roofs, and new cabins are everywhere
being constructed. The new houses
OF the farmers are about like those
OF our pioneers, when they cut down
the logs to make their homes in
the days of the colonists. The ordi-
nary cabin has two or three rooms.
and nearby are additional cabins
for stables and storage. The build
ings are better than those with which
our country was started. They have
good foundations, and all of the
houses have stoves of brick which
run from the floor to the ceiling and
send warmth throughout the whole
house. Once heated, the stove will
keep warm all day and all night
There are ovens in many OF the
stoves, and in one six-room house /
visited there was q hall through the
center, on each side OF which was
a stove in the wall, warming both
the hall and the room adjoining. This
house was unplastered. 1t had as
yet no furniture, and the people sleep
on the floor.
Nearly every farm has it's potato
cellar, a dugout where the potatoes
are stored away and covered with
straw to keep them from freezing in
winter. Potatoes are among the chief
foods OF the people and one of the
great crops of Latvia.
Every farmer expects to have his
own bathhouse, but in the present
building conditions one bath serves
for several families, who use the
bathhouse In common. am not

some parts OF Russia, but every such
house is like those OF Finland in

TO-DAY, at the beginning of their
l. independence, the Latvians are in
much the same condidtion as our
forefathers were when they estab-
lished the republic. The United States
was then largely a forest. We had
to cut our homes out of the woods,
and we lived in log cabins. We made
our own clothes from the wool OF the
sheep and from the cotton lint which
we picked by hand from the seeds
Nearly everything we ate came from
the farms, and we were practically
Independent of stores and factories.
The same is true of the Latvian peas
ant, except that he has no land to

Balts were students of agriculture,
and their estates were SO large that
they could profitabiy use modern ma
chinery. Many of them had tractors,
gang plows and mowers, reapers and
threshers. 1t cost our pioneers in
labor moro than 500 per acre to fell
the trees and get out the stumps.
They had to build up everything from
the ground. The Latvian pioneers
have their farms ready made. They
have cities and villages, good roads
and railways. They have excellent

dressing. Cut two eupfuls OF celery
