DEFYIExtensive Report by Carnegie

Commission.

NO NATION IS SPARED

Investigators Declare That the So

Called Christian Countries Equalledthe Moslams in Barbarous Acts and

Atrocities.

New York, May 19:-Results of anexhaustive investigation into the con-ditions in the Balkans during and fol-lowing the wars of 1912 and 1913,with a view to clarifying public opin-ion, which has been baffled by con-flicting reports and befogged by un-authentic detail, have been made pub-lic by the Balkan commission of in-quiry of the Carnegie Endowment forInternational Peace.

Pessimism based on the terriblemoral consequences of a war whichwas a series of unutterable atrocitiescharacterizes the conclusions of thecommission as to the possibilities ofimmediate peace or stability amongthe Balkan nations.

The commission found conditions ofdesolation, utter wretchedness and so-cial and moral disintegration whichdefied full portrayal even in its com-prehensive report. "This moral andsocial chaos is the direct result," ac-cording to the commission, "of the un-speakable practices of the contendingforces."

The list of horros is at time morestartling that the unsupported rumorswhich formerly were received with in-credulity.

No Nation Is Spared.

No one of the Balkan nations isspared. Atrocities committed uponthe noncombatant Moslems in Mace-donia surpassed in many instances thecrimes committed by the race fromwhich the Christian nations were sup-posed to have received their educa-tion in the refinements of cruelty.The barbarous acts and inhuman re-prisals performed by Bulgarians,Servians and Greeks against eachother would be incredible if they werenot supported by unquestionable evi-dence.

"Our document," says the report,"gives particulars, village by village,of the Moslems who were killed androbbed. In the villages all these ex-cesses seem to have been the work oflocal Greek bands. The most activeof these bands was led by a priestand a warlike grocer who was a mem-ber of the bishop's council. TheTurks, indeed, accused the bishop ofdirecting all these atrocities."

One band, under a notorious guer-rilla chief, was said to have burned345 Turkish houses in one day, shutup the men in mosques and burnedthem alive or shot them as they at-tempted to escape.

Corn and Diversified Farming.The farming on the dry lands of

Montana comes under the head ofgrain farming, the revenue being de-rived from one source-that of grain;hence, if the grain is poor or theprice low, the farmer cannot prosper.Another great disadvantage of thistype of farming is the unequal distri-bution of labor, there being a rush atthe periods of seeding and harvestingand but little to do during the timeintervening. The land should beplowed for each grain crop, and, inthe' drier sections, summer-tilledevery other year. Corn growingchanges this type of farming to oneof diversification. Instead of depend-ing upon one source of income thefarmer has many sources, such ashogs, beef, dairy products, grain, etc.Labor is more equally distributedwhen corn is cultivated in place ofsummer-tilling. Thus it is seen thatagricultural wealth, diversified farm-ing, stock growing, and dairying areclosely associated with corn-growing.

In the light of data which hasbeen secured by the dry land investi-gations of the Experiment Station,there are about eight million acres ofland in Montana adapted to someform of corn raising. This is equalto the average acreage of Iowa andIllinois combined. Montana climaticconditions are entirely different fromthose of the Middle West, and con-sequently our methods of corn-rais-ing, harvesting and utilizing the cropmust be different.
