FARMERS TO DO REPAIRS,
THEMSELVES..
Peking, May 8-Discussing the broken Yellow River dyke, the China International Famine Re- hief Bulletin states that owing to the recent disturbances in Shantung. it has not been pract ticable for the Commission to un- dertake repairs to the Linpuchi dyke in the western part of the province.
The farmers of eight affected districts have joined together. however, and are making such repairs as they can by native methods. It is quite possible that they will block the flow that has been cutting across their farm lands and hold the river in its previous channel through the coming summer..
It will be necessary to reinforce. this work in a way to insure, it against failure in times of exces sive foods. For this the Con- mission may or may not be called to handle the engineering and advance part of the funds as was planned last fall
