Tehran-Tabriz Tour
Il MOntaaaam I'M Iran Takes
Tea With Tribal Chiefs
By E. r.. HALBROOK

and then to Miandoab and on around
the lake back to Tabriz.
This and the Caspian Sea region
are the better agricultural regions
of Iran. The pastures are good and
the sheep, goats, and cattle are
abundant. Swine are seldom seen
in Iran, since the Moslem religion
forbids the consumption of pork.
Mutton and poultry meats are the
most common meats used in diets.
Rugs. Silver Craft
Tabriz is a town of approximately
100000 people, the third largest in
Iran, and is noted for its rugs, silver
craftsmanship and agricultural prod
ucts. 1t has a railroad running up
toward the Russian border which
was built by the Russians. Another
railroad is planned from Tehran to
Tabriz and about two-thirds of it
was built by the former Shah and
his administration.
Some Iranians say that it will
never be completed because of the
danger of having unlimited guests
someday riding the rails from the
north clear into Tehran, but work
is still in progress on this road. The
exports of the region now flow to
Tehran by truck which is about q
11hour trip by car over a one-hali
poor asphalt and one-half rock anc
gravel road bed.
The scenery from Tehran tt
Tabriz varies from a landscape O.
almost barren, flat and rolling lane
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-01

to billy and almost mountainous but
still mainly barren country. A few
villages are inter-spread where a
stream supplies sufficient water for
irrigation. These villages are COM
posed entirely of adobe block or
mud-walled homes with flat roofs
on which pumpkins and the winter
supply of hay and straw for live
stock is stored.
Threshing BY Ok Power
Grain threshing scenes were a
common sight on our trip. Our
driver was asked to stop at one of
these places to view the operations.
The grain and straw was trodden
with an OK to break the heads from
the straw. A cart-lilke vehicle with
chisel-like iron wheels was pulled
over this trodden mass by OK and
finally a wooden float with flint
rocks in the bottom was pulled over
this.
The finely broken mixture of
straw and grain was winnowed by
throwing wooden forksfull up in
the air and letting the straw blow
to one side of the grain. The grain
was further cleaned by shaking it
through a sieve and finally piled
into uniform piles for dividing into
shares.
The owner of the land selects his
share first and the peasant receives
the pile or piles left, depending
upon the division. A common divi-
sion is Us for the land owner, Us
for operator or laborer, 1/5 for
water supplier, Us for power owner,
and Us for seed supplier. Sometimes
the owner supplies three of four
parts of these items but the practice
varies.
The finely broken straw is used
for feeding the livestock and for
mixing with mud in the construction
of adobe blocks and walls. An OBJ
lection to the combines and imported
threshing machines is their failure
to break the straw into fine enough
particles to utilize in adobe con
struction work.
And BY Hand Power
A second stop was made at /;
village threshing center where two
hand-operated threshing machines
were in use. These machines were
used after the treading by OK team
and use of chisels and floats, mainl!
as means of separating the kernel
from the straw since there was in
sufficient wind in this locality t.
separate straw from grain by throw
ing it into the air.
Ok teams were pulling woodel
plows (sticks) all along the countr
side where there was sufficien
} water to produce crop. Came
and donkeys were hauling straw i

of the Point Four Division of
Agriculture in Iran.
THE AZERBIAJAN region of
northwest Iran was occupied by
Russia during the later days of
World War II. A puppet govern
ment was set up at Tabriz, the
capital of the Azerbiajan Ostan,
and it was not until Iran took the
issue to the World Council of the
United Nations, which resulted in
request from that organization that
the region be evacuated as agreed
upon with the allies and Iran at the
time of occupation, that Russia re-
luctantly withdrew.
It was this region of Iran that the
writer had an opportunity to visit
recently in connection with Point
Four technical assistance and to
observe the customs, dress and agri-
cultural practices and to discuss
certain problems with the natives.
The region is bordered on the east
by the Caspian Sea on the north by
Russia, and on the west by Turkey.
Azerbiajan is one of the oldest
civilized regions of the world. The
mountain of Zarat on which Noah's
ark was believed to have rested
after the Deluge is located near the
northwest part of the region north
of the town of Khoi but across thc
border in Turkey.
Two-waY Interpretation
The official language of Iran il
Farsi but the people of this region
speak a Turkish dialect which i
not understood by most Iranians o
other regions. The writer's inter
prefer did not understand the Turk
ish dialect and the local interprete
did not understand English so tina
in many instances, the translation
was two-Way, from Turkish to Ears
and then from Farsi to English.
The first trip taken in the regio
was from Tabriz eastward to Sara
and then to Ardebil near the Caspia
Sea and back westward again o
the north side of the Savalon Noun
tain through Mishkinshahr an
Ahar to Tabriz. The second tri
was from Tabriz north and west I

of Lake Urmia to the city of Reziael

produce IN various types OF con-
tainers.
Our first stop was in Sarah near
where Point Four had arranged for
a machinery demonstration in con-
nection with the possibility of start
ing a cooperative. Machinery on
hand included tractor, plow, tam
dem disc, harrow, horse-drawn
mower, hand operated grain sepa-
rator, hand-pushed planter and a
miscellaneous assortment of small
hand tools.
Iranian Point Four technicians put
on the demonstration and it went
reasonably well. There were ap-
proximately rs men and boys pres
ent. The women stayed out of sight.
Tea Time
Tea was served in a village tea
room at the close of the demonstra-
ton and brief talks were made. The
only two Americans in the crowd,
the regional Point Four director and
I, dropped our Jumps of sugar in
the tea to dissolve, while the native
Iranians held their humps of sugar
in their mouths and slipped their tea
around it.
My Iranian interpreter and spent
the night in Sarah at the home of a
village owner. Small towns have
no hotels and if they did, such places
might not be too safe an abode for
an American to stay overnight. The
village owner told of their problems
at the time of the Russian occupa-
ton and said they did not dare plan
very far ahead even today. At the
time of the last Russian occupation
some village owners were badly
mistreated and finally found it ex-
pedient to turn over their property
to the peasants and flee to Tehran,
We did not see woman while in
the house in Sarah. The table was
served by a man waiter and all
other needs were taken care of by
men servants. 1t is a Moslem GUS
tom to keep all women folks in the
background and they rarely partic-
ipate in conversations. This varies,
however, with the rank, education
and occasion.
Iranian Menu
The usual kind of Iranian meal
was served in the evening, consist
ing of soup, fried chicken, and "chile
kabob," rice dish interspersed with
strips of meat. Duke "a sour milk
drink having some similarity to
yogurD and, later, tea were served

left in 1888 there came to CheS-
ter Elder Lewis, Elder Bar :

Rev. Argus, Rev. HasS, a n d
Rev. Hill in about 1898. About
this time there seemed to be
so many discouraging tn i n g S
that union services were inaug-
urated with the Congregational,
Free Will Baptist and regular
Baptist meeting together 70 r
their worship services
Rev. Shirey was at that time
the pastor, during the winter
of 1899. In the spring R e v
Cornish arrived and was at the
church until 1905. In the spring
of 1904 the free will Baptist
church disbanded, sold h e r
church property and most OF
the members joined the regular
Baptist church. From 1904 to
1915 the Congregational n d
Baptist churches were togeth-
er for their services under the
leadership of Rev. Cornish, Rev.
Howard A. Vernon, Rev. Stone,
Rev. Lapp and Rev. Sherwin.
About 1915 or a little before
an addition was built on t h e
rear of the church, consisting
of two rooms. This has enabled
the church to adequately take
care of a rising junior depart
ment and for the social events
which characterize a growing
church.

James r. Thompson was or
dained and called as pastor.
After a prolific pastorate of
seventeen years he left, but
later returned to the church.
1t was during his first pas
torate here that in the spring
of 1870 the project of building
a new house of worship was
agitated. A committee of the
following men to solicit funds
was appointed; Nelson Parker,
William VanValkenburg, S. Wal
ker, 1. A Boyd, LebbeuS Nor
ton and Rev. Thompson. At a
covenant meeting April 2, 1870,
this committee reported $2805
pledge. About three quarters of
an acre of ground was bought
nearly a mile from the center
of town and the actual build
ing was started. On December
IA of the same year the pre-
sent neat house of worship,
with a seating capacity of a.
bout 200, was dedicated. Free
of debt, this building cost $4,
600. The dedication sermon was
preached by Rev. All. Strong
of the First Baptist church of
Cleveland. This auditorium has
remained unchanged with t h
exception of two circle seats on
each side of the pl a tt o m
which were removed. A little
later a bell was purchased at
the cost of $3.50.
An interesting Sidelight in
the history is seen in the pur-
chase of an organ for $164. So
Mr.. Randall of Chardon, agent
for an organ company, agreed
to let the church have the lat
est style Esty organ, regularly
priced at $3.50, for this modest
sum.
In 1876 Miss Laura Elder
went to the Indian territory as
a missionary. Rev. F.E. BoSt-
wick was called as pastor in
the fall of 1877. He was fol-
lowed in 1879 ny Rev. L. j.
Dyke. 1t was during his pas
torate that three quarters of an
acre of ground north of t h e
church was bought from S. B.
Philbrick and a parsonage
erected.
In reading a report of a
covenant meeting of May ID,
1882, some sixty two years
ago, five young ladies Wer e
baptized by Elder Dyke in the
new baptiStry. 1t may be of
interest to a few to know who
these young ladies were: Miss

BY the records these coven-
ant meetings met every Satur-

of their covenant with God and

from each other. Their buSi-

Acceptance

Acceptance
You're at your best when ac-
cepting your trials and tribula-

done about them. Holding the high
est attitude you know toward your
lot in life stimulates you to great
en- goals of usefulness and expands
your soul.
They say that st. Francis Of
Assist was regular chess player.
During certain game which
seemed certain to go on for at
least two hours, he was asked
what he'd do if he knew he would
die in an hour. St. Francis replied
thoughtfully: Continue the game"
That's the kind Of spirit we have
when we're at our best. Refusing
to submit as though nothing can
be done about our experiences, We
go on to higher goals of usefulness
and we find many blessings tc

Md. Poultrymen
Cautioned on Hot
September Weather

Maryland poultrymen are eau
toned to be alert to heat problems
should temperatures turn extreme
~ hot in September after the re-
cent pleasant weather.
"Most of the poultry deaths
caused by hot weather occur after
sudden rise in temperature, chief
ly because not enough water is
available" says James L. Nichol-
son, University of Maryland EX-
tension poultryman at the Sails
bury broiler research farm.
He advises poultrymen to at
least double the number Of water
ers if temperatures get high. Dis
tribute them throughout the house
50 the birds will not have to walk
more than 10 feet to drink"
Nicholson adds that since the
normal consumption Of water is
two pounds to each pound Of feed
and the water intake is doubled
during severe hot weather, one
half the feed troughs may be used
for waterers.
Additional waterers tend to
evenly distribute the birds around
the house and eliminate crowding.
During hot weather chickens are
inclined to crowd around the foun-
tain, where the litter is cool and
moist. This situation keeps some
birds from getting water and may
cause suffocation. Drinking cool
water is the main method the
chicken has to reduce body tenn
