The American Farm Bureau Federation donates 15 million bushels of corn in January to help Herbert Hoover's European Relief Committee, the American Committee for China Famine Fund, and the Near East Relief Committee. The American Relief Administration feeds some 10.5 million hungry Russians per day in August as famine continues in what will soon be the Soviet Union (see 1921). Before it ends, at least 5 million will have died, but Russia harvests a new crop that eases hunger, and the worst of the famine is over by fall (see 1923).
