BELC|ANS RECLAIM
 FLANDERS FIELDS
fBv United Press)

BrusselIs, Belgium, Feb. 23.-Cen- turies of spade and pioneer labor, performed by millions of tillers of the soil throughout the ages, had made of Flanders in 1914 one of the richest agricultural provinces in the world In four years of war the result of all those centuries of labor was an- initiated. The wiping-out of such an extensive region, with all it's vast agri- cultural resources, was unprecedented in history.
 The centers of the war zone here were Ypres, Furnes, Dixmude, Ostend and Courtrai. The districts of Ypres and Furnes, the richest agricultural lands contained 215,000 acres of land, 6S villages, three towns and an agri- cultural population of over ninety thousand Of the land, 1000 acres were axble and 55,000 pasture. The number of farms was 24,000, of hors- es 6,070, of horned cattle 47,000, and of pigs 42,000. Annual crops gather ed comprised an average of 437,000 sacks of wheat, barley and oats; mil lion kilos (say thousand tons) of tobacco; 125,000 tons of potatoes, and considerable quantity of hops.
 Of all this wealth, nothing remain ed at the armistice. Farmhouses were either destroyed or in ruins; villages were razed; the cattle had been slaughtered; the farmers and their hands had fled; barren inundated ground was all that remained.
 Pre-war values of this destroyed property may be estimated at $51,- 100000. That does not sound much if you say is quick enough, but, for anemic Belgium, it means lot! To put things right today, however, is goining to cost several times $51 ,OOO,- 900. Wages and raw materials have, on the whole, more than trebled, and estimates that put the restoration of agriculture alone, without any recon struction of villages, etc., at close to
