THE PLIGHT OF BELGIUM.

International law-really we beg
pardon for The words as its purpose
and intent have heen so far forsaken
bv one or more countries now engag-
ed in the Europen awar as to make it
& dream, rather than an actually. But
International law would allow the En-
tenle Allies to blockade Belgium the
same as the Central Empires, and thus
render the responsibility and worry of
the Teutons much greater. Charity
from the Entente has forbidden this,
though, and the neutrals of the world
are engaged in feeding a pitiable ma
ton. which should be done by the
Germans under the terms of interna-
tional law
This course towards the people OF
King Albert is told in a clear way
through an interview with Field
Marshal Lord French, the Commander
in-Chief of the British Home Forces
who under Sir Douglas Haig assumed
command, had charge of the British
forces in France. In a simple way,
Lord French says:
The strictly military interests OF
the Allies as regards Belgium, when
that country had been occupied, leav-
ing out of account all questions of
humanity, would have been to apply
the blockade to Belgium in the same
way as to the Central Empires them
selves. The right to blockade friendly
or neutral territory occupied by an
enemy is clearly recognized by the
Hague convention. and this recognition
indicates what the military interests of
a belligerent must be.
The cost to the Allies of feeding
Belgium may be reckoned as follows

France have contributed to the Relic

THE CAR SHORTAGE.

The railroads of the nation have
been sharply criticized of late because
of the freight car shortage, causing
actual want and privation it, some sec
tions of the country. Reports OF
blockaded ports and great freight ter
minal centers are we'll known to the
public. The railroads are not entirely
to blame, and although we would not
charge Indifference to Washington, GER
tainIy it can be safely said that they
have been slow in assisting shipping to
clear the harbors of the country since
the German blockade of our ports.
If as much time was spent in the
gay capital in profitable action on be-
half of the shipping as there has been
on the part of inaugural and other
plans. there would be bettered con-
dltion in prices of foodstuffs.
Figures are always interesting, and
statement from the American Rail-
way association is of much Importance
at this particular time because of the
freight car shortage. This organiza-
ton alleges that the railroads of the
country have lost $7S,85S,290 in ten
years from 1907-1917 from car short
ages. Startling is the comparison when
they say that the roads have lost in
gross earnings from car idleness dur
ing the same period the huge sum of
$1,057 1851, 977.50. Compiled figures show
that the railroads of the United States
during a ten-year period have added to
their equipment about $4,000 freight
cars, and during that time on an av
erage of ninety-two days out of every
one hundred the railroads provided
more cars than the shippers called for
to carry the traffic of the country. At
times, the railway association says that
an extraordinary percentage of the
cars was idle for the lack of freight.
The situation seems to be the old
law whereby the maximum and mimi
mum must go to determine the amount
On an average for the needs of people
and industry. The railroads cannot
be expected to build enough freight
cars to serve in abnormal times and
during the average years let this ener-
nous amount of rolling stock be idle
with nc interest accruing on the in
vestment.
I'm official of the association before
The Interstate Commerce commission
sad that railroads can increase their
facilities for holding at your big term
ipals, but they cannot force unload
ing. That has got to be done by the
consignee himself" This is an inter-
csting phase.
AS long. as the federal government
has self-imposed the trust of conduct
ing all of the affairs of the entire
country, they should at least look into
this serious condition.

should be Of such length as to allow the
by inches. The handle NJ permits the
teeth to be raised or lowered to catch
the heads at the proper height. The
limits through which teeth may be rails
ed or lowered are fixed by means of the
slot F. This prevents either the front
or back Of the machine fitting enough to
strike the ground. When it is desired
to hold the stripper rigid the removable
bolt C can be taken out and inserted in
one of the holes E Bolt D should fit
loosely in the bottom Of board B to per-
init easy action Of the attachment. It
is necessary to have the plank N to
which the whiffletree is attached fasten-
ed toy the shafts far enough in front Of
the teeth to prevent the horses hoofs
from coming in contact with the teeth Of
the stripper. The teeth are sawed out
Of oak boards, which in turn are nailed
to planks H and K.
The commercial production Of crimson
clover seed in this country is especially
handicapped by frequent untimely rains
which occur after the crop is cut and be-
fore the services Of a huller can be OBJ
tanned. A considerable acreage in a Civ
en- locality is required to justify the pre-
sence of a huller in that vicinity. Where
it is not desired to raise seed for COM
mercial purposes the simple devices,
some types Of which can be made on the
farm from readily available material at
the expenditure Of few dollars, make
it possible for anyone with a crimson
clover field to obtain seed for reseeding
purposes.
The comb stripper illustrated herewith
can bS 0f any desired size ranging from
/ foot to 10 feet In width, depending up
on the quantity Of seed to be gathered.
Milford chronicle., 1917-06-01

bottom Of the stripper to miss the ground
The handswung strippers are usually
about / foot wide with the teeth 10
inches long The particular stripper il
lustrated is 1-2 feet wide. This is n
convenient size where seed for 8 to 20
acres is desired. Where seed for less
than three acres is to be gathered It can
be stripped by one Of the hand-swung
strippers or even by hand. especially if
cut by hand, although the operation is
somewhat slow. The stripper 3 1-2 feet
wide can easily be swung on the axle
of the wheels taken from an old buggy
between the hind wheels of a buggy. or
even between the hind wheels Of a farm
wagon. This width is epecially recon-
mended when the special fields on which
it is to work are in sections not connect
ed by wide roads. This machine can be
taken along any ordinary wagon road on
its own wheels. If necessary, one man
and a horse can operate the machine to
good advantage, although boy TO assist
in bagging the seed and cleaning the
teeth when choled up is advisable. The
wider stripper may be swung between
hayrake wheels OF set up on wheels Of
iron or wood. If these wheels be IS
inches or less in diameter. the stripper
can be placed above the axle. 1t is ne
cessary that the seed be fully ripe in
order to strip easily, and it is also desir-
able that the ground be given level till
age in order to facilitate the operation Of
the strippsr.
Too much emphasis can not be laid on
the Importance to. the individual farmer
throughout the middle Atlantic and the
Southern states OF the seeding OF largely
increased acreages of crimson clover OF
or similar winter legume cover crops.

1t is very important that every effort
Zoe made to save as much crimson clover
seed As possible this year. since the sup
ply which is annually received from Eu-
rope will be greatly reduced. The pro-
.duction of seed in this country will also
be less than has formerly been harvest
ed. as a large percentage of the acreage
in the South winter-killed. The value
of crimson clover as soil producing
makes 1t imperative that the acreage be
extended rather than reduced this fan,
but in order to do this it will be neces-
sary for the South to save as much seed
as possible.
a homemade device for gathering Grim
son clover seed, which the Southern
farmer may make and use with a small
outlay Of time and money, IS described
in Farmers Bulletin No. GAG, which may
be had free OF charge by applicants. The
device promises a solution Of the prob
lem Of annual reseeding which may make
the Southern farmer Independent Of any
