Eight hundred transmigrants have been placed by the Ukrainian Comzet at forest work in the Cherson District, Odessa and Krivoy Rog.

The land administration in the Krivoy Rog District assigned 792,000 roubles for social work among Jewish transmigrats there.

Seven transmigrant families arrived in Tichonkoya from Smolensk; five arrived at Charabovsk from Zinovievsk. They will proced to Yekaterina Nikolsk.

Progress in the distribution of machinery to Jewish settlers, paid for by their relatives in America, is reported by the Ort, the society for encouraging trade and agriculture. Some orders have had to be suspended, however, due to misunderstanding on the parts of applicants who ask for the machines priced at $550, while their relatives are willing to supply only $200.
