WHAT WAS CLAIMED.

| summary OI buS OdscS Z rcbcubCa W eAAc
Two Governments.
The Behring Sea tribunal has rem
dered its decision under article six of
the agreement governing the arbitration.
That article summarized the con-
tentions of the two governments and to
each point an answer has been returned.
The claims, on the part of the United
States, from which the summary was
made were:
Up to the cession of Alaska, Russia ex-
ercised an exclusive right to the seal fish
cries in Behring Sea.
Great Britain, not having objected to
the assertion of such right, is deemed to
have assented to it.
Behring Sea was not included in the
| phrase Pacific ocean, used in the trea-
iy of 1926 between Great Britain and
Russia. All the rights and authority of
Russia in respect to seal fisheries in
Behring Sea, east of the boundary estab-
lished by the treaty of 1867, passed to the
United States under that treaty.
The United States has such a property
in the Alaskan seal herd as to justify
employment of means necessary to pre-
vent the destruction of such herd, and
compensation should be made to the
United States by Great Britain for the
losses of the United States due to pelagic
| sealing of British vessels.
Should it be considered that the Unit
ed States has not the full property inter-
est asserted, it should be decreed to be
the duty of Great Britain to concur
with the United States in enforcing reg
ulations to prevent capture upon the
| high seas of seals belonging to the Alas
| ka herd.
| The claims for Great Britain were as
follows:
Behring Sea is an open sea. and the
rights of all nations to navigate and fish
therein cannot be taken away or restrict
| ed by the declaration or claim of any one
or more nations, not impaired by non
/ exercise.
When, in the year 1921, Russia attempt
| ed by ukase to close to other nations the
4 non-territorial waters of great part of
| the Pacific ocean Including Behring
Seal, Great Britain and the United
| States protested against such attempts.
1 Therefore, in the years 1S24-5, Russia
withdrew her pretensIons to authority
over the non-territorial waters.
From 1867 to 1886 the United States did
| not attempt to interfere with the rights
/ of other nations in the non-territorial
| waters.
1 But because of the growth of pelagic
sealing the United States reverted tc
claims based upon those of the Russian
ukase of 1921. Later these claims were
dropped, and claims were made based
upon alleged property in seals.
While Great Britain has opposed al
exceptional pretensions and claims, she
has been favorably disposed toward
equitable general measures for protecting
seals.
Both parties filed claims for damages

Harvesting by Machinery-Picked Over
by Hand For Market.
If any reader will go to western New
York to the northern part of Monroe,
Orleans or Niagara counties, north Of
the Central railroad, extending to Lake
Ontario, he will find a section where
farmers raise all the way from l to
100 acres of beans. When grown on
large scale, these beans are harvested by
means of one of the modern devices con-
structed for the purpose and operated by
one or more horses. A western New
York beangrower tells in The Farm
Journal just how the bean harvest is
conducted in his locality. He says:
"There are machines for pulling made
with knives. The newest patterns have
rotary knives that cut the stalk off just
below the ground, cutting two rows at
once. Men with pitchforks follow, fork
ing the vines into winrows of four rows
each. When dried, they are piled in
punches, and as soon as thoroughly dry
drawn to the barn. Wehave bean thrash
ers made expressly for the purpose.
Some Of these are run by steam, similar
to wheat thrashers.
"After running through the tanning
mill they are sold to buyers Or dealers.
If very black or spotted, they have to
be picked over by hand.
"Every buyer has all his beans hand
picked before shipping. For this purpose
they have a large, well lighted room, with
tables arranged around the sides. The
beans are brought in spouts before each
picker, when they are sorted and swept
into barrels placed beneath the tables
The pickers are seated around the tables
on stools. They are paid by the barrel,
or when they are taken home and sorted
they are paid by the pound, that is, they
pay Q or 81 cents per pound-for all the
poor beans picked out.
ssThe poor beans are fed to sheep or
boiled and fed to other stock, even to
horses. Farmers have been engaged in
bean raising for over 80 years in this sec
ton. The price per bushel has been as
high as So, but usually varies from 81 to
So or $780, There are other sections in
this state, and also in Michigan, where
they are beginning to raise large quanti-
ties"
The bean crop is harvested in the alb
sence of machine for the purpose by
pulling the plants up by hand, laying in
rows on the ground, and when sufh-
GENTLY cured putting in small stocks or
taken to the barn, and in due time
thrashed out and cleaned.
