... . J, , Sixteen. THE MORNING ST A i. '90,000 REPORTED TO HAVE STARVED ALREADY Entire Christian Population of Syria faces Doom Syria Unable to Feed Its Own Christian Population and Meet Extraordin ary Demands of the Mlli- tary Authorities. ' . Washington, D. C, July 22. That Syria has been unable to feed its own Christian population and at the same time satisfy the military authorities extraordinary demands for' supplies is not surprising to 'those familiar with the primitive agricultural .methods of the Holy Land. Concerning the man- ner in which crops are - raised in this section of the- Near East, where 50,000 people are reported- to have perished " already and where the entire Christian " population seems- doomed unless Amer ica's representations to the Turkish government are heeded, John D. Whit- ing presents a graphic picture, in a com munication to the -National Geographic Society. - Mr. -Whiting says: - "In the mountain 'districts the farm land is usually owned by peasant pro prietors, each man's property being composed of various- small pieces scat tered about near the village in which he lives. The raising of olives, grapes and many other fruits is the - leading ' occupation, but -almost every farmer grows some grain. : "Down on the plains larger fields ex dst and cereals are largely planted. The .land of a given- village -is frequently owned in common by the villagers and a division of it takes place every alter nate year, and is so. arranged that ev ery man gets portions of the good as 'well as of the less desirable land. "-Fences, in the western sense of the word, are unknown. In the mountainous country lands are inclosed - by loose stone walls, still called by the ancient Hebrew name: 'jedar, and on the plains - by thorn hedges. When the open fields are owned by individuals, - the bound ary lines are indicated by deep furrows. In -which at intervals stones-are laid as landmarks. It is, therefore, readily seen how easily these . boundaries could be changed by an avaricious neighbor. undeterred by the Mosaic warning: ! Cursed be Jiethaf removeth his neigh bor's landmark.' ' -, , "Rainbegins to fall about November : (average annual rainfall for 50 years about 26 inches), after a rainless sum mer, and as soon as the ground is well , xnoistened the fellah starts planting the .'Winter cereals wheat, "barley,, lentils, jbeans, etc. The plow is a crude affair, auade of oak, the bent parts being nat ural curves held; together with iron bands; these bands and a small plow share, which only scratches the ground a few inches deep, are the only metal parts. . - "Oxen are the favorite animals for yoking to a plow. Cows and donkeys are employed by the . poorer people. Horses, mules and . .camels (the last named only along the Mediterranean coast) are harnessed singly to plows, while sometimes one sees an ox and a camel yoked together. "The fellah sows the grain on the bare ground and then- plows it in. In rocky, ground a man or. woman follows with a pick, to -loosen the earth that may have been . skipped by the plow. The soil is. not fertilized- The disinte gration of - the underlying . limestones feeds the soil, so that for thousands of years it has, continued yielding -crops. The manure and rubbish, insteadof.be ing utilized are allowed to accumulate In heaps outside the villages until they surround it like small mountains. "After the winter crops have all. been planted the vineyards and olive groves are plowed a couple of times, and also the fields reserved .for ; the summer planting. These latter crops are not put into the ground until the rains have ntirely ceased. t "During harvest . time the fields are lively and picturesque; the entire fam ily has a part in the work, the small children playing " about among the Sheaves and even the babies are rought into the fields. A large tooth led sickle is employed by the reapers, hen the grain is long, but if short: a smaller one is used, the edge being quite dull; so that it, does not cut, but dimply uproots the grain. , "Destitute , women and girls are al lowed to follow the reapers and glean rthe fallen ears, which N they tie into neat little bundles, dropping them on .-the ground as they go along, and these fthey gather up every evening and beat out the grain with a stick, just as Ruth did of old in the fields of Bethlehem. During the reaping period what the Bi ble calls "parched corn' is made in al most every field. Some wheat not fully Tipe is cut down and set-on fire, the sBtraw only being commmed. The roast ed heads are rubbed between the hands and the chaff winnowed out in ths wind. Without further preparation, (this roasted wheat forms one of the common articles of diet of the reapers. Undoubtedly such was the 'parched corn which Boaz reached to Ruth. - "Threshing by the primitive methods employed is the most tiresome task of all the fellah's round of toil. In many (Places it is done entirely by treading out beneath the feet of the animals, which are , tied together abreast and driven round and round over the spread out grain. The mules and horses are provided with flat sheet Iron shoes for all kinds of work, and the cattle, just as ' the threshing season begins, are , specially shod. : "As soon as the grapes, figs and other fruits begin ripening, the fellah, with his .entire family, moves out of the vil lage into the vineyard. The grape sea ' son is looked ' forward to as the best ' part of the year, and at thistime the natives: live for the most part on fruits and bread. Jokingly, the fellaheen say that they get so fat from eating grapes that-their fezzes burst. "Olives are harvested - in the fall, but by a method- so - injurious to the trees that they .yield a full crop but once in two years. -Instead of picking them , by . hand, for time is not money with ' these easy-going people, . they beat the trees with sticks to knock off the fruit, which at .the same time re " suits in destroying "the tender shoots which should bear -r the : next year's fruit. ' The olives when salted or pick led in brine are valued food, for a peas ant can make a meal of only bread and olives. v with perhaps the addition of a raw onion. , , . !;.:-.v ': "Sheep -as .well as goats are milked, by the women, and the milk 'turned into cheese and .butter. Butter. Is., made , in a goat' skin like those used for carry , lng water." This is 'only half filled with " milk, which has (previously been allow ed to sour. The skin is blown full of air, the opening tied up, and it is hung on a tripod of sticks and shaken back and forth by one or two women until the butter is formed." ' GOVERNOR APPEALS FOR RELIEF FUNDS (Continued From page one), service between Charlotte and- Ruther fordton over the Seaboard and between Charlotte and Gastonia over the inter urban, 'f , PROGRESS IX REPAIRING - NORTH WILKESBORO LIE Winston-Salem, N. C, July 22.

POOD SCARCE AND SHELTER - I'XKSOWN ABOUT CHIMNEY ROCK (Special Star Correspondence.) Wadesboro, N. C, "July 22. Eight of the Wadesboro contingent who were among the victims of the flood at Chim ney Rock, arrived home last night over the Seaboard. They are Frank Rogers and two sons, Charles Lowe, Lewis . and Marshall Woodson, Clay Sayler, Jr., and Benton Dees. According to their re port, they left Chimney Rock Thursday morning and worked their way. to Rutherfordton, walking, swimming and wading through mud to gain their des tination. They report that conditions in the Chimney Rock section are even worse than has been reported; that food. is very scarce and shelter is un known. ' ' " The women and children, who could not stand the hardships of walking to a point where railroad facilities eould be had.- are still in the mountains and suffering for food and adequate cloth ing and shelter.' None of the Wades boro party suffered any serious injury. A telephone service has been- re-established in every section of this coun ty, Dr. J. E. Hart, chairman - of the county board of commissioners, reports that 1S of the county bridges were de stroyed by the flood.- Anson county will take immediate steps to restore this damage. CRAIG ISSUES STATEMENT -REGARDING THE SITUATION Charlotte, N. C, July-22. Governor Locke Craig, marooned at Asheville, his home city, since last Sunday by this week's Carolina floods, tonight by long distance telephone- to the Observ er, issued the following statement as to flood suffering and relief measures in North Carolina: - "In response tc an urgent appeal from a committee of the Raleigh board of trade, I have appointed a commis sion for the receipt of funds for the destitute in the flooded district of North Carolina. E. E. Britton, of . Raleigh, is chairman of this commission. The committee of the Board of Trade of Raleigh, in requesting the appointment of this commission, stated that there was evidence of destitution in the Al legheny and Wilkes counties section and that outside aid had been re quested. "There is now no need, a'ccordlng to my best information for outside aid in the Asheville, Black Mountain, Marshall, Bat Cave and Chimney Rock districts. All suffering in the 'Ashe ville section has been promptly and adequately met by those residing here. This was done Sunday and Monday, suf ficient funds being provided for that purpose.. "Hendersonville has agreed to lpok after the Bat Cave and Chimney Rock sufferers. Some supplies were sent from Ashevillei but none Is now nec essary, since Hendersonville has as sumed responsibility for relief in that district. The situation at Marshall and also at Black Mountain has been taken care of and. my information is, that -all of this section of the state is in fair way toward recovery. "I have reliable information., of the situation in the Wilkes and Allegheny section and acted in appointing this commission, at the instance of the Ra leigh Board of Trade and others." FUND OF OVER I1.10O HAS - ?. BEEN RAISED IN GREENSBORO Greensboro, N. C, July 22. Delayed reports from isolated sections, of Wilkes. Ashe. and adjoining counties only add to the story, of desolation and suffering as a result of floods of the past week. In Greensboro energetic relief measures were taken today, the city starting a campaign fund which tonihgt totalld over $600 while the fund started by the Greensboro Daily News late yesterday had been swelled to over $500 tonight. Word came from High Point late today that a fund had been started there for Wilkes county sufferers and that $133 had been con tributed. A mass meeting has been called for Sunday night in Greens boro to take action for relief of flood sufferers. . The Southern Railway has inaugur ated a ferry service at Catawba station on the Asheville division where it lost one of its bridges and is now giving train service twice daily between Salis bury and Glen Alpine, a distance of 85 miles.
