In the ten years from 1899 TO 1903 1t
was 16.1 bushels. During all this pc
riod the progress of knowledge and
skill in the cultivation Of their fields
enabled the farmers of your state to
add only 2.S bushels per acre to their
wheat yield. During this same period
the wheat crop of Germany rose from
seventeen bushels to thirty bushels an
acre. a gain of thirteen bushels an
acre. The Increase secured by the
German farmers is equal to nearly sew
en-eighths Of the total average yield in
Wisconsin,.
In the decade ending with 1878 the
farmers Of Wisconsin harvested an
average of 34.3 bushels of oats to the
acre. In the decade 1S99-190S they
harvested 1874. The progress of the
art of agriculture in dealing with the
Wisconsin oat crop had resulted in a
loss OF practically one bushel to the
acre in period of thirty years. At
the same time the yield per acre of
oats in Germany increased from 81
bushels TO 80 bushels per acre. Start
ing with an average Of two bushels
less to the acre. the German oat grow
ers have advanced to a position where
they are obtaining over % bushels
more to the acre than are the farmers
of Wisconsin.
while the yield Of barley has gone
from % to 80 bushels an acre In Ger
many during the past three decades, 1t
has advanced only 21a bushels in Wis
consin. Germany's rye crop gave an
average yield Of barely - bushels nm
acre in 1879 and at the end Of thirty
years was producing over % bushels
to the acre In that same period the
rye crop OF Wisconsin had improved
less than IL bushels to the acre.
wisconsin grows many potatoes.
but her farmers today are able TO coax
from an acre of land only FIVE bushels

On the other hand. the German potato

NEW METHODS HOLD KEY

American Farmers Now Far
Behind Germans In All
Crop Yields Per Acre,
Says Expert.
TUpGEn by Communism with oth

TUDGED by comparison with 9TH
er states. Wisconsin is holding
q her own as producer of farm
crops. Judged by what has
been accomplished by European farm
erS on their wornout lands. which have
been titled for centuries Wisconsin's
farm output is far below what it
should be. The farmers Of the state
ought To be receiving for their staple
crops $4,000. 600 to S60.00o.OOo year
Elore than they are now receiving.
They could do this as result of in
creased yields if they would adopt the
crops and cultural methods which
have proved tremendously successful
in advancing agricultural production
in Germany during the past thirty
years and to which Wisconsin is well
adapted.
These are some Of the striking CON
illusions to be drawn from letter
on Wisconsin agricultural conditions
which has Just been addressed to Sen
ator La Toilette by Truman G. Palmer.
a distinguished student Of agricultural
economics. who has spent the past fif-
teen years in studying farming condi-
tons in the United States aud Europe.
During the past tbirty-three years,
writes MIR Palmer, "the German farm
err has increased his collective aver
age yield of wheat, oats, barley and
rye so per cent. During the same pc
Rod Wisconsin farmers have Increased
their yield Of the same crops only 6
per cent, or slightly under the aver
age increase for the United States.
In the ten year period from 1869 to
