HERE AND IN GERMANY.

Attention has recently been directed
| to the extensive use of commercial
fertilizers in Germany and to the fact
that the, yield Of crops to the acre in
that country IL much larger than in the
United States. the natural inference on
the part of the reader being that the
fertilizers would accomplish astonish-
ing results in this country.
That the crops in Germany. says the
Kansas Industrialist in a discussion OF
this important subject, are increased
by the use of commercial fertilizer can
not be doubted: the German farmer
would not spend from 50 to s. an acre
for fertilizer il 1t did no good. There
are. however, many other factors In
continental Europe which also assist
in increasing the average acre yield.
Among these are the application of
manure and other organic matter to
the soil, careful tillage, and, perhaps
most important of all, the extensive
employment OF hand labor for such
purposes as the removal Of weeds.
+ So far as the United States IL con-
cerned. the increase Of the crop yield
by the employment Of German meth
DDS is neither wholly possible nor
wholly desirable.
The more extensive and careful use
of barnyard manure is desideratum,
and there are other things about the
German eystem that might profitAbly
be introduced here. But when it
comes to hand labor, 1t IL neither pos
sible nor desirable that persons shall
be employed in this country at the
wage paid in Germany.
Commercial fertilizers are used in
Germany because the soil, having been
cropped for hundreds Of years, needs
them. In some parts Of the United
States-indeed, in some parts Of Kan
sas-they are used with satisfaction.
Their Introduction into this country to
the extent to which they are used in
Germany would by no means, how
ever. reproduce German crop condi-
tiOnS.
