FAMINE WILL FOLLOW
WAR-CROPS NEGLECT
ED WHILE MEN FIGHT

There is one aspect OF the war situa.l
in Europe that has not yet been noticed,
and 1t is an appalling one to contemplate
This is the almost certain loss of thel
crops IN the countries affected by the
war Americans generally do not realize
what these conditions are. The holdings
are mostly small ones, and in many
cases the use of machinery to harvest
crops is practically impossible
The weather conditions, too, are en-
tirely different. The straw of wheat,
oats and barley is much heavier and con-
tains great deal of moisture. So do the
berries. In the great grain fields of the
West, Argentina, India and Australia
the grain is ready to thrash just as soon
as cut.
Not so in Europe. The grain must be
tied in sheaves, piled together in shocks
and later on stacked in the fields before
being sufficiently cured for thrashing
The weather conditions have to be
watched to shield the grain in the fields
and protect it from injury as far as pos
sible
Right now is the harvest season. and
with all the available men drawn out
for war the prospect is a CHASTITY one for
the young and old the women and chill
dren, who are practically facing famine
in the near future, for il the little har-
vest is not saved there is no chance of
food in the coming winter Unable to
save the crops in time, they will rot In
the fields and the poor will starve.
Not only are the grain crops affected,
but the root crops as we'll Much of the
European supply of meat depends on the
root crops. Cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs have to be fed during the long win
ter. and. if for sale. fattened on the pota-
toes. turnips and mangels, the latter a
huge beet. Sections of turnip fields are
cut off by netting and into these sheep
are turned until the last shred is con-
sumed. State fed cattle are fattened
largly on the same root, and these with
potatoes, go to fatten hogs. These crops
have TO be carefully tended during the
summer and fall-weeded. pulled and
pitted for winter use With most Of the
able bodied men called to war, what is to
become of them? Neglect means loss of
the crops and this latter is but the pre-
limtnary Of famine and all its horrors.
Even in the south of England the gov
eminent has not infrequently found it
necessary to release soldiers and send
them out to the farmers to help aid In
harvesting the crops. In countries where
peat is used for fuel there is another
trial, to get it dried and home for the
winter consumption. No doubt the old
people, women and children will make
heroic efforts to meet the situation. but
there are conditions that no such feeble
efforts can meet. and these are the awful
conditions that the country folk in Eu-
rope have to face now, when their har-
vest time is in full swing.
