Farms Given to Peasants In Republic of Esthonia

forests. 1t was as Nature made It,
without any of the so-calIed improve
ments. Esthonia, under the Balts,
was better farmed than any other
part of the Russian empire. The
Barons were rich and they had the
German thrift for which their cousins
over the way are so noted. They
drained their lands and rotated the
crops, using fertilizers of every des-
cription. They farmed with the best
of agricultural machinery, and not
few had factories and distilleries.
Some were stock, farmers, and others
had dairies. Some raised grain, and
in the northern part of the country
potatoes were so much grown that
even now Esthonia Is called the "po-
tato republic" The tubers grow here
as easily as in Ireland and Maine,
and are produced in vast quantities
for the making of alcohol. Every
farm has its distilIery, and in normal
times the country yields so much al
cohol that 1t could give quart and
half to every man, woman and child
and have some to spare.
But let me describe my trip through
the country. We left Reval on a.
macadamized roadway and for much
of the time our speed was thirty or
more miles per hour. This does not
seem fast at home, but in this land
of few automobiles, it means a great
deal. We were on one of the chief
highways, and scores of peasant wo-
men were coming into Reval to mar
ket, driving single and. double teams
harnessed to the boat-like wagons
which are the typical farm vehicles
of the country. The horses all had
great yokes above them and they
were harnessed by tugs to the front
axles and the hubs of the wheels.
The vehicles were so stiff that thew
could not move quickly out of our
way and every horse was frightened
by the gasoline demons rushing
towards him. In many places they
drove out into the fields to allow us
to pass, and some of the woman
drivers got down and wrapped their
| tshawls over the heads of the horses
TO Keep them quiet as we went by.
NOW and then a shaft snapped as a
horse whirled at sight of our car.
and milk-women driving colts left
the road and, went with their carts
into the plowed land adjoining.
About ten miles from the. city we
stopped at the farm of a writ. or
small landholder, one of the 20 600
mentioned above. This man had
eighty acres of land, and it was well
cultivated. His house was cottage
OF six or eight rooms, built of stone
and rooted with straw thatch. Above
the straw rose the chimneys, made
and country. It is said that the white
This is so of all the chimneys in city
and country. 1t is said that he white
plaster saves the chimneys and makes
them last longer. There were also a
small barn of stone and sheds all
rooted the same way
INTRODUCED by the officials of the
L Agricultural Department, I entered
the house. Three of It's six rooms
were hoored with stone and the other
three with rough boards. The stoves
were of stone, each running from the
floor to the ceiling, and the furniture
mean. One room was given up to the
children for nursery, and I noticed
an old-fashioned cradle with a baby
therein. The farmers wife brought
the baby outside and we photographed
it.
The soil Of this farm was compare
lively poor. Near Reval the country
