NORWIGH BU’LLEI'IN,‘ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916° They measure their land by “hec- tares” and not acres. A “hectare” is about two acres and a half. i Comparing the four years 1883-1887 with the four 1309-1913 Herr Helfferich shows that the average apnual yield, per hectare, has increased in rye from 20 hundredsweight to 37: in wheat from in oats from in barley from in potatoes hundredweight to 4 undredweight to 38 hundredweight to from 175 hundredweight to 267. There had been hunted up a little additional land in tke Guarter century intervening so that about 6 per cent. more was cropped in 1913 than in 1887 but the increas in total crops was al- most S8 per cent. Herr Helfterich fig- ures the exact increase in net return per hectare at 77.7 per cent. This increase, keeping pace with the increase of population, enables Dr. Helfferich, who is Germany's new min- ister of the interior, to Dboast that, “without any imports whatsoever, our astuffs are still more plentiful, per | than they were thirty years he deduces the natural no “that blockade will be able to starve Ge: Asked how the increase in produc- tion had be secured, he answered: “Improverents were cffected by means of more s agricul- tural schools and bet- er methods ng ational systen: age, rotation of of artificial fertilizatio the Unfortunately, 0 many anifested desire of German govern- | ment officials to put the best facc on & rather bad situation by color facts | a little rosier than their hue makes it scar safe to accept all thelr statements and ail their reason- ing.

There was no epoch-making discov- ery of anything new behind it. There was no outburst of special enthusiasm to stimulate it. There was no compe- tition for “premiums” or “records” to make it boil. It was brought about sieady, perstatent, unspectacular work on_individual ferms and with indl- vidual farmers, studying out and measuring the capacities and the needs of the land, as well as teaching and training the land-worker in better methods, more rational systems and more truly scientific adaption of means to_ends. Moreover, Germany began this cam- paign for increased produstion when her already better-worked farms were producing much higher average yields an those of this country. Her low- water mark in production was above us; yet by “more sclentific cultivation,” “better methods” and ‘“raticnal s terps” she has increased her existing lead by over three-quarters. solely by t dossn’t really make very erence what you and I think k we think—about “scientific !

It seems that, while the” Prussian masters of Germany were planning ahead for the war, they not only made immense preparations in mechanical ways but also in agricultural matters. So far back as 1887 they were begin- ning to work for an agricultural Jde- velopment that should render them self-supporting if war shut them off from outside supplie: They couldn't very largely increase the area which was suitable for crop- ping. So they set at the task of in- Creasing the production from the acre- age they already possessed. Tt they couldn’t ger more acres, they proposed to make each acre they had jeld more. A s Chey have succesded is indi- cated by figures adduced by Herr Helffcrich in a formal interview which he gave the Associated Press at Berlin, last week. acre he possesses, if he sincercly wants to and is willing to go at it the right way.

I am regularly putting more. fertilizer and more labor on five acres ¢f ground than my predecessor on this farm put on forty acres. And I am regularly getting a better profit off tha five than he averaged off the forty. I am pro- ducing more dollars' wortk of crop from five acres than he averaged from forty, at a iess cost for the production of same dollar's worth. But I do not say that this can be done by every farmer on every five or forty acre Very likely there may be cases where it couldn’t be. Soils dif- fer: market conditions va: indtvid- ual farmers are unlike in aptitude and capacity. But, whether or no it would be a paying proposition for every farmer to attempt hundred per cent. in- crease in his crops, I am profoundly convinced that it would be a paying proposition for pretty nearly all the farmers 1 know if they would make a steady effort to increase production ¥ some degree, per acre, each vear.
