help somewhat for q time, but 1t was

OUR FARMERS ARE WAsTEFUL
Russia 10 Only Country That Does
Not Raise Bigger Yield Of Wheat
Than United States.

A recent issue Of The Consular
Trade Reports calls attention to the
wasteful manner in which American
farmers handle their land, emphasiz-
Ing thereby the value Of the Rookie
teller educational boards efforts to
open the eyes Of the agriculturists to
the need for intensive farming.
With the exception Of Russia, every
European country raises more wheat;
and rye per acre than does the United
States. The increase ranges from 60
to 100 per cent. or more. In oats and
barley two or three other countries
fall behind this in the average produc.
ton per acre, but our advantage Is
slight, not ranging more than to Z
per cent.
Where the average American acre
yields 1873 bushels Of wheat, the same
quantity Of land in Germany yields
2S.4 bushels. and in England 39.A
bushels. Here are further figures:
