CORN FOB STARVING CHILDREN
OP NEAR EAST
The following telegram was sent
to tho County Chairman or other of
ficers of the Near East Relief, in
every county of Nebraska:
Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 2, 1921.
"Cablegram from Near East Asks
corn for hundreds of thousands starv
ing Armenian children. If Ne
braska farmers will givo corn wo
have arranged to convert it into
meal mid have provided freight and
all expenses ho in six weeks it will
bo feeding starving Armenia. Wo
need one hundred enrs Nebraska corn.
Iowa has already shipped fifty. Take
this up with your farm leaders and
wire me."
D. BURR JONES,
State Director
Near East Relief.
The appeal for corn from tho farm
ers in tho middle-west for starving
people in. tho Near East is meeting
with a most favorable response in
many sections. In addition to Iowa,
Indiana and Kansas have already
shipped some cars and wo understand
that corn is ready for shipment in
Illinois and other states.
Nebraska is asked to gather and
send one hundred cars of corn, this
corn to bo made, into corn food pro
ducts which will bo shipped directly
to tho starving people.
The plan wo are to follow is for
every local community that secures n
carload of corn to wire D. Burr Jones,
State Director, Near East Relief, 321
Railway Exchange Illdg., Omaha, Ne
bnska, for shipping directions. These
will bo telegraphed and car will then
be sent to a corn mill.
Every car of corn on arrival at
tho mill will first bo inspected under
tho official supervision of tho Oipaha
Grain Exchange under tho rcgulnr
manner followed on commercial ship
ments; certificates of these weights
and inspections will bo given to the
State Director of tho Near East Re
lief, ho, in turn, will givo this- in
formation to those in each county
who send tho car.
Any corn unsuitcd by renson of
color or othcrwiso for milling pur
poses will bo exchanged on tho
Omaha Gain Exchange for suitable
corn at the market difference, day of
arrival of the corn. This means that
yellow corn or mixed corn will be ex
changed at tho mill for white corn
at tho market difference. White corn
has been found best suited for export
trade. At tho same time any corn
regardless of color or moisture or
whether it bo mixed or not, will bo
gladly received. The corn upon its
arrival at the mill will go through
a process of sterilization, kiln-drying,
degerminating and be milled in all
respects and follow tho regular pro
cess pursued in tho regular trade,
furnishing the snmc quality of high
grade meal as" this particular mill
produces for its regular trade. By
this process it will be seen that what
ever moisture is in tho corn will be
taken out so that wet corn can bo
shipped to us.
For every hundred pounds of com
milled wo will be able to ship not
less than sixty pounds of finished
corn meal and the thirty pounds of
hominy food (by-products) . we will
dispose of, using tho proceeds to pay
the expenses of the manufacture" and
when necessary to apply on trans
portation. Tho loss by moisture
will be from 8 per cent to 10 per
cent only.
! Wlicrc communities desire to pay
for shipment from their locality to
tho mill at Omaha this is acceptable
on the part of the Near East Relief;
at tho same time any community that
has a car of com to ship and feel
that they can not pay for transpor
tation, tho Near East has made ar
rangements in Omaha so that tho
car can be sent collect.
Corn so milled into corn meal will
be 'sacked into 10 pound cotton cloth
sacks and ten of these sacks packed
in a burlay sack or container and se
curely sowed in tho same manner
that they prepare the meal for ex
port trade. This will insure safe
carriage and bring tho meal to tho
peoples of the Near East Rolief in a
clean attractive way, easy to handle
and distribute at it3' destination. The
Near East Relief has made an
agreement with the Miller Cereal
Mills of Omaha for all this service
of unloading, milling, sacking and ro
sl.ipping this corn at a charge that
our agricultural advisors tell us is
not only reasonable and at cost but
bomo say slightly below.
Tho fact that a hundred cars of
corn will be collected and shipped out
of tho state and five hundred from
tho Nation and not sold in this coun
try should reflect a higher price on
the market. The conversion into
food products will also givo employ
ment to American labor.
There is absolutely no doubt but
that this corn product will reach its
destination and keep indefinitely and
bo an absolutely uitritious food. Bo
causo investigations on tho part of
tho Near East official advisors have
shown that for a great many years
degcrminated, kiln-dried corn pro
ducts, such as hominy and corn meal
flour, have been shipped to tho Trop
ics, South Africa and also Egypt, as
Well as other points, without there
over having been a complaint of
their ever having gotten out of con
dition. Wo desire tho farmers to
know that there is absolutely no qucs
tion on this point.
It is on cable requests for corn
products from our Mnnngtng Direc
tors in the Near East that this ap
peal has been made to the farmers
of tho Mid-West. It is expected
that other food products will be ship
ped in the next few months.
Mr. II. D. Lute, Secretary of the
Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation,
lias, at our request agreed to co-operate
with tho Near East Relief in
this appeal in n very definite way.
(1) His Executive Committee of
tho Nebraska Farm Bureau Federa
tion has adopted a roaolution endors
ing his offer to assist and expressing
approval and desire to co-operate in
this effort.
(2) Ho is sending a letter to
every one of tho forty-two County
Agricultural Agents in Nebraska,
nsking them to put their shoulder bo
hind this appeal to tho extent of
active co-operation in tho securing
and sending of this corn to us.
(3) Mr. Luto at our request will
act as an inspector or auditor in tho
name of the farmers of Nebraska to
tho extent that ho will como to Omaha
and look over all the records in our
office ns well as those of tho Corn
Miller's, respecting corn contributed
by tho good people of Nebraska. This
wo desire as an assurance to tho
farmers that their corn will go with
as much quickness and dispatch as
possible to these people who arc suf
fering tho pnngs of starvation, and
we hope will save thousands of lives.
To those of you who road this bul
letin we urge that you get in touch
with the other members of the Near
East Rolief Committee in yourcoun-'
ty or locality, or, if there is no com
mittee, that you got a group of peo
ple whom you know will bo helpful,
cnll upon the County Agricultural
Agent, if there is one in your county,
and call in the Editors and Elevator
men of your community for a con
ference, and plan out how you can
immediately or within tho next three
or four weeks get together one or
more full cars of corn for this pu
poso. George P. Bisscll nt Central City
and tho Merrick County Committee
linvo already called in their editors
and other citizens and arc arranging
to ship several cars from Merrick
county. The T. B. Hord Elevators
have been made receiving stations.
Charles Ross from Washington
county, who is active from this coun
ty, gives tho suggestion that as there
are fourteen elevators in five towns
of tho county and tho chances arc
that no one of tho smnllcr towns can
collect a whole car of corn there
fore, ono elevator in each town will
act ns receiving station to receive
and receipt for corn donateif then to
remit each day for corn received at
mark6t price to Blair, where a Tike
amount of corn will bo bought at the
Farmers' Elevator Company until
thcro is enough to load a car which
will be shipped to Omnhn. This is a
practical plan where n whole car can
not bo loaded at ono elevator or com
munity. Hon. W. II. Thompson, Democrat
National Committeeman at Grand Is
land, is handling this appeal for Hall
county.
Perkins county with W. II. Grif
fith, County Clerk and Clerk of the
District Court, is planning to get bc-
nlnil tho movement in a good way.
In Dakota county thcro was a meet
ing held Saturday, called by Thomas
Ashford at Homer, which will handle
tho situation.
At Holdrcdgo in Phelps county ar
rangement have already bccnmado
with the Farmers' Equity Exchange
Elevators to handle this corn, and J.
M. Douglass is back of tho movement.
Sidney in Cheyenne county is not
to bo left behind and Rev. Samuel
Light, pastor of the First Presby
terian church, is already moving in
the matter.
In Aurora, Hamilton county, Coun
ty Chairman Rev. Harry II. Pollard
has pccurcd tho co-operation of the
elevator people and others and he to
gether with M. D. Crossett, Secre
tary of the County Near East Com
mittee, arc pushing matters in such
a way as will mean a goodly ship
ment of com from this county.
At Geneva tho A. Keohlor Com
pany will handlo the com and J. II.
Morgan of that place is under tho
movement.
Lincoln county is preparing to do
their share and they expect to get a
carload from Dickens and Wellflcct.
Rev. B. F. Farrar is securing tho co
operation of tho farmers and other
organizationst in a splendid way.
Chaso county, near tho Colorado
border, was. tho first county to re
spond to tho appeal and Carl P,
Peterson of Imperial with tho co
operation of a number of other lead,
ing farmers of tho county and Edi
tor N. H. Prnwl, Chairman of the
Near East for that county, aro
driving ahead in such a way that it
1.1 expected that they will ship tho
firat car of corn.
D. C. Spnngler of Stanton says:
"Think wo will bo able to ship at
least ono car."
"Five bushels of corn will feed a
child and save a life. You save ono"
is tho slogan from Wnyno county.
Superintendent of Schools, J. It.
Armstrong, and Near East Relief
County Secretary, says: "We expect
everyone in our county to givo five
bushels of corn or tho equivalent in
money with which to buy corn. I
figure Wnyno county should send two
carloads of com."
Custer county Corn Movement is
under tho leadership of Mr. John
Dietz, prominent farmer, who plans
for two cars. County Chairman
Alpha Morgan made a good move
when ho secured Mr. DIctz to head
this appeal.

"'We never cared for such stories,'

"'Wo always thought they were ri

by people who had been children
so long, long ngo that they had for

'"Then,' said the children of the
vine-covered cabin, delightedly, 'wet
will bo free from much of this vine
which Is o unfair and o untrue, nnd
which takes such mean advantage of

" 'Perhaps,' ono of them said, 'you'd

they could help to free us.'
