THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1924. PAGE THREE AMERICANS LEAD FIGHT AGAINST APPALING MISERY AS MILLIONS EXCHANGE HOMESE IN NEAR EAST H. O. JAyllTH ai Smyrna Hero Who Heads Near East Iti-liuf Work Among Deportees LLEVIATINQ the misery of two million people, torn from their homes and forcibly mov ed to distant lands, where customs, languages, and surroundings are strange and confusing to them, Is the task confronting American workers of the Near East Relief In the Bulkans to-day. - Primarily the situation was brought about by the flight of more than a million Greeks from Turkey following the Smyrna disaster. The Exchange of Populations agreement written Into the Lausanne treaty was the other contributing factor. It Increased the numbers Involved by i most one hundred per cent, about half of them Moslems from the Qri-ek Islands and Macedonia, the rest being the remaining Greeks in Turkey. Theoretically the situation Is handled by a high commission and eleven sub-commlsalons, headed by neutrals with Greek and Turkish members. Actually much of the work lias fallen on the Americans, who were ipecincally requested by the High Commission to begin the transfer before the necessary sub-commls-Jlons could function. At that time Oreece was overrun with refugees, who wore dying In the camps by the hundreds and whose rehabilitation In (ireece depended on settling them on property occupied by Moslems. With the consent of both the r'klh and Greek Governments the transfer wns placed under the dir ection of H. C. Jaqulth. who had directed Near Ktin Relief forces dur ing Hie Sinyri, d'mter and wheaa efforts during four years as foreign head of America's most populai philanthropy had demonstrated hii impartiality and fitness for the task. One of the chief problems In con nection with the enforoed migration has been that of child welfare. Wilth the Moslems going to Turkey this question has not been acute. The high death rate among the Greek refugees, the unsanitary condition! in which they were forced to live on their flight, and the hardships they have endured have wiped oul all adults in un-numbered families, leaving the children helpless. In the refugee camps of Balonla, an Important debarkation point foi the Greeks, there are eleven thous and orphans with many times that number of half orphans, whose only protectors are widowed mothers and aged grandparents. These young, stem have been the chief concern ol Mr. Jaqulth and the American child welfare experts on his staff. An effort has been made to care for as many as possible In the Golden Rule orphanages of the Near East Rellel in which there are already 9.000 children. But the resources at his command are bo limited that only a small fraction are receiving care. ' The remainder constitute a tremend ous problem for the coming year. How is the problem to be met? Mr. Jaqulth and his associates art frank in declaring that It can noi be met with their present budget They have one hope. This Is that the observance of Internationa; Golden Rule Sunday on rwembpi 7th throughout the clvl'ized work: will prove fruitful propazin da foi raising ths necessary 't'ml.t. ATTENTION SHEEP MEN.

Some Morrow county farmers are undecided ai to the method of aeed treatment to use this fall. During the past four yearra many hundreds of trials of the Pacific Coast have shown that there is very little dif ference in amut control by the for maldehyde, bluestone and copper car bonate methods of treatment. The advantages of copper carbonate, es pecially under weather conditions such as we are having this fall, make this method much more desirable than the wet treatment. Conditions in the fall of 1923 were very favorable for wheat germination so that very little difference in stand was obtained by any treatment. In the fall of 1922, the following stand counts were ob tained in the wheat nursery on the Jake Wells farm near Heppner, on Hybrid 128: Bluestone, of stand, 39; Bluestone and Lime, 81; Formal dehyde, 70; Copper Carbonate, 100. On tests run the past year on the Troy Bogard farm near lone, the foi. lowing stand counts were made on spring-planted bluestem. This was mum Jljttr every meal ft A pleasant and agreeable sweet and a 1-a-s-l-l-n-fl benefit as well. Good lor teeth, breath and digestion. Makes tbe next cigar taste better. E3 pianted the 25th of March and there was enough moisture in the ground to bring the grain up promptly. Fonnaldhyde, 42; Biaestone. 15; Bluestone and Lime, 97; Copper Car bonate. 100.
