Your Groel~ r eDl ItFIL SOVIET CAUSES RUSSIAN FAM'NE Kills Goose That Laid Golden Eggs. Story in Villages. Samara, on the Volga, Oct. 18. Constant requisitions of grain by the Red army and other authorities, as well as the lack of rainfall, was a chief cause of the great famine in this sec tion of Rlussia, according to the peas ant farmers. They say the Soviet It self, helped kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. The story of the famine and its most intense miseries can not 'be had In the cities. It is only In the 'little villages, where the farm workers live and whore the famine bad its origin .that the truth, bare, bitter and crush ing, can be ascertained. The story of the village of Novo Semikinol, 16 miles from Samara, Is -typical of many the correspondent visited up and down 'the Vol-ga. Riding out across the rich, rolling farmland, swept by the cold nwinds from the east, but still beautiful in the golden autumn, the forests shot with deep brown, the grass yet green and upon it .herds of cattle and horses, with here and there patches of fields plough ed and sowed -with spring rye and wheat, one arrives at this village straggling for a half mile along the two sides of the main road. A heavy silence envelopes the vil lage. Many of its one-storied, log cabin homes, each shut' off from the other by high rall fences enclosing a quarter-acre -plot for chickens, cows, wagons 'and barns are shut, the windows boarded and the doors lock ed. Midway In the village the corre sqpondent stopped, knocked at the door of an occupied home.'The peasant said the village was composed of 250 hous es, 50 of which had been deserted by the owners going elsewhere for food. Two years earlier the 'richer peasants had worked each about 300 acres of land -but now they farmed ibut three acres. Normally, the yield .was 60 to 80 bushels of -rain per each three acres, whereas this summer, the harvest had been but about 40 pounds. Last year the -harvest had been about four -bush els of grain to each three acres. At that point the peasant, a tall raiw-boned man thinned by lack of food, 'began to get angry. The Red army of Samara, had last December ordered the village to contribute about 5,800 bushels of grain, for which no payment was to ibe received. The vil lage hadn't been able to su-pply all this requisition but offered -part. So the Red soldiers came and took the amount of the requisition. The village was -left without seed grain, though it was promised from Samara, and was also without food for the Winter. To get bread, in Decem ber, the villagers, 'began selling off their valuables, and eating their cat tle and sheep. As the winter deep ened, the famine set in, and the poor er villagers began to boil up old skins and hides from furs, even the soles of old boots and shoes. When last spring came, Samara failedl to furnish much seed grain, and the peasants sold mere valuables to buy a little. One way or another they had 26 pounds of seed grain per three acres. Then came a dry spring anid a dry summer, 'with a scant harvest. The rain came after the harvest. The peasant, citing the way of the Soviet .requisiltions said 52,000 'pounds of 'potatoes had theen taken and locked up in the basement of the ehurch and had 'there spoiled. The -worst of it was, he said, that in the face of their starvation, the Samara Soviet had just ordered the village, to furnish three -to six pounds of butter for each cow owned. Yet the only food for the cows was field grass, and most of them no longer gave milk. The villagers were eating fruit, melons, 'pumpkins, and -bread made from roots, nuts and tree bark. They had enough for two or three weeks longer. "A -pound of bread can not be had here, no, not for 1,000,000 rubles," they declared. The villagers 'were suffering from stomach disorders, and aaked for castor oil, a medicine not to -be had in the whole district. They admitted that food, not medicine, was what they needed. -"Our only -hope i's .the Americans," they said. "Otherwise we must die." *. * * . e** * * * e * RIDDLES OLD FIELD NEWS 4 . * Riddles Old Field, Nov. 14,--S'everal from this community attended the Greenville county fair the past week. air. ID, H.
