SOIL FERTILITY IN GERMANY

WIZ NV
Fertilizers are used in Germany in
growing measure and already to far
greater extent than in the United
States. There are. indeed, few coun-
tries in which the per acre expenditure
for fertilizers is as high as In Germany.
The German Agricultural Society, an
officially recognized association of
German agriculturists, states that ex-
isting laws contain no provision look
ing to the maintenance of the fertility
of farm land. The old Prussian code
or 'Landrecht" provides that farmer
who was unreasonably negligent might
be compelled to abandon his land; but
there is no record Of the provision
having ever been enforced, and It was
omitted from the existing civil code.
The theory Of the old law was that the
farmer held his land as a trust.
In earlier times very stringent claus
es were regularly inserted In leases
with view to the preservation Of the
fertility of the land. They dealt with
the rotation Of crops and other meth
DDS Of cultivation, including manuring,
and usually contained an absolute pro
hibition Of the sale of straw, hay, ma
nure, etc. It is the present custom,
brought about by the introduction Of
artificial fertilizers and a better scien-
tiflc appreciation Of agricultural meth
DDS, to leave all such stipulations out
Of leases as far as possible and to pre-
scribe merely that when hay, straw,
natural manure, etc, are sold artificial
manure in corresponding quantity shall
be purchased and added to the ground.
Some restriction is, however, usually
placed on the sale OF hay and straw
during the last two years Of the term
of the lease, and it is provided that,
| as the lease draws to close, insurance
indemnity received for the loss OF
straw by fire shall go to the lessor or
to the subsequent Jesse.
In the districts where farming is car.
ried on most intensively-that is. in
general, the country lying west of the
Elbe, It is usual at the time of lease
Examinations or transfers to include in
the inventory as property Of the lessee
and to make payment therefor, besides
the live stock, fixed adjuncts, ETC., the
increment in the cultivable value Of
the ground resulting from a more In
tense agriculture, On the other hand
1t is not the custom to assign a certain
degree Of fertility to the land when the
lessee enters into possession and t.
liquidate in money any amelioration o.
deterioration which is found to hav,
occurred at the termination Of tn,
lease. The lessor is protected agains
his land being abused by q right whicl
: he enjoys at any time to look into tn
management Of the farm and 10 q
anime to greater or less extent tn
farmers accounts.

= tural land OF Germany was being wor'
ed by It's owners and Is per cent
