. RUSSIAN TRADE
IS NOT LIKELY
TO INCREASE
, |
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 23 (by
| Associated Press).—Russia’s ability
to export raw materials in the near
future has been greatly over estimat
ed by foreign countries in the opinion
of Colonel B. Englehard, formerly a
member of the Russian Duma and a
student of economic conditions in Rus
sia before and after the revolution.
In a talk with an Associated Press
correspondent he said that foreigners
seem to fail to realize the collapse of
the Russian transportation systems,
reduced to manpower and run-down
condition of the Russian farm lands.
This comment was evoked by re
ports of the negotiations of Russian
economic agents with Premier Lloyd
George in London and the announce
ruent that the United States had lift
^^ed prohibition upon American trade
„ with Soviet Russia.
Colonel Englehard is confident that
Russia will again play an important
role in European markets but, said he,
“the revival of Russian trade will not
come until there shall be established
a normal state of life when men shall
renounce attempts of establishing im
mediately the paradise of communism.
■ “It should be borne in mind that
European Russia has been greatly re
duced in size,” said Colonel Englehard.
“Formerly it had over 5,000,000 square
kilometers of land and 157,000,000 in
habitants. Poland, Finland, a great
part .of the Caucasuns and several
Baltic provinces, with about 50,000,
000 inhabitants and about 1,250,000
square kilometers of land have de
tached themselves. The greater
part of these detached territories or
dinarily had a notable surplus of grain
and othe farm products which con
stituted the major part of Russia's ex
ports.
“In 1913, the last year when condi
tions were normal in Russia, exports
were valued at 1,500,000,000 gold rubles
or $750,000,000. The greatest single
item on that list was grain. The total
grain exports were 12,870,000 tons,
valued at $325,000,000. European Rus
sia used to harvest 58,500,000 tons of
grain annually. With its reduced area
and with the breaking up of big es
tates, lack of machinery and ruin that
was wrought bjr continuous war in
many of its most fertile areas it >
may be affirmed the grain harvest of
the soviet republic will scarcely reach
31,500,000 tons annually. One cannot
say now what events here will be
in the immediate future. So far as
Siberia and the provinces in Central
Asia are concerned they used to pro
duce S00 pounds of grain for each in
habitant and it is doubtful whether
any considerable quantity of grain can
be exported from Siberia.”
Colonel Englehard says livestock of
all sorts has been reduced so greatly
by the war that it is impossible to
consider the exportation of meat or
live animals. The civil war in the
Don and Kuban wiped out the sheep
there and make the extensive exporta
tion of wool impossible. The sugar
industry is so disorganized and fuel
so scarce he does not believe soviet
Russia will be able to supply its local
market for many years.
Flax is the one product which Col
onel Englehard believes soviet Russia
will be able to export in large quanti
ties immediately.
Oil is the greatest hope of the sov
iet government, in the opinion of Col
nel Englehard. Large quantities of
oil still are stored and produced in the
Baker fields and it is the product
which all the world is seeking. Fight
ing has interrupted the Baku-Batum
pipeline repeatedly during the last few
months, but Georgia and the Bolshev
iki have now reached an agreement
and the prospects are better for oil
sales in Batum. The Grozny oil field,
which is entirely dependent upon the
Vladikavakas railway for transporta
tion is also in the hands of the Bol
) sheviki, who have control of the rail
way and can readily transfer the pro
duct to Baku if rolling stock is avail
able.
“But up to the present time the Bol
shevik regime has only diminished the
production of oil,” said Colonel Engle
hard. “It seems certain that the na
tionalization of enterprises every
place by the Communists will work
the same havoc in the oil fields that
it has in the Russian industries as a
whole.”
When a girl begins changing the
spelling of her front name, it is pretty
certain that a reasonable proposition
to obliterate the last name would re
ceive favorable consideration.

I SUCCESS OF THE]
MARSON FAMILY
•>
—An Inspiration
When the Marsons purchased their little 5-acre farm less than three years
ago, their capital consisted of a few hundred dollars, plus an abundance of pluck
and determination.
Today their modern poultry houses contain many hundred thoroughbred
White Leghorn hens, each producing its daily quota of the big tri-weeklv ship
ment. of new laid eggs that go to one of Seattle’s leading cafes. Promptly Uncle
Sam’s faithful mail carrier brings back a handsome check from the cater
er who gladly pays a premium for the superior Alderwood Manor eggs.
The picture tells the story: The modem home with its well kept lawn, veg
etable and berry garden, up-to-date poultry plant, is one of the most attractive
in the wonderful Alderwood Manor district.
Mrs. Marson keenly enjoys looking after the chickens and gathering the
eggs, while Mr. Marson continues to work at his trade, for the Marsons are
thrifty folks who believe in “team work”; combining their efforts now that they
may live a life of ease in their declining years.
Modern methods and a strict accounting system have proved to Mrs. Mar
son that each laving hen produces better than two dollars net profit each year.
(Take a pencil and figure out what the 1,500 hens that can be kept on 5
acres under the Alderwood Manor plan ^fould produce you). Are you making
$3,000 a year in your present position!
Are you willing to grasp a big opportunity! Does Independence, with plenty
and to spare appeal to you!
1 ho 1 uget Mill Compam, an old responsible concern that has played a big'
part in the industrial development of the state of Washington, starting way
back in 1853, established the wonderful Alderwood Manor poultry district, just
outside the great city of Seattle, three years ago. Today thousands of Seattle
folks own little 5-acre farms out there, more than 350 homes and poultry plants
have already been built and are now occupied by men and women who point with
pride to their success. It is the most remarkable, most practicable development
of its kind in America.
The wonderful $200,000.00 Alderwood Demonstration Farm and Poultry Col
lege, where a staff of skilled experts teach (free) those who desire to follow mod
ern methods in poultry raising, home gardening, fruit and berry culture is the
center around which the greatest poultry community in the United States is be
ing built.
Wouldn’t you like to live in the finest climate in the world where there is
never extreme heat or cold, seldom snows in the winter ? Where you can view the
beautiful snow-capped mountains from porch or window and only a few minute’s
drive from beautiful lakes and shores of Puget Sound? And Seattle, the chief
seaport city of the Pacific coast, but 45 minutes from your home? Where vou
can make an independent living on 5 acres of land—with a strong company back
of you always ready to extend financial assistance.
If you are interested in knowing all about Alderwood Manor; in learning
how the Puget Mill Company will help you to own 5 acres of rich soil that will
produce a bigger income with less effort than you can ever hope to earn on the
payroll, write for the complete story of Alderwood Manor and the New Life of
the Land. It’s free for the asking.
