CoNSTRASTED
CONDITIONS.

While the TeutOns are engaged i'll
war and devasting what were for
mcrly fruitful sections in her enc
mics country, Germany is one i'm
mcnse truck garden and farm this
year. Not in the entire history of the
empire has there been such a whole
sale reversion to agriculture.
In unprecedented numbers Ger
mans have turned out, in the cities
as well as the country, and have plow-
ed and planted every available acre
almost every square yard of land, in
anticipation Of crop that shall put
an end to the rumors that the coun-
try can be starved out.
Large numbers of women, boys
ranging from six to 10 and old men
arc all industriously blowing, plant
ing or sowing. In place of the horse
that have been requisitioncd for mi
litary purposes, one sees quantities
of oxen and even mich COWS. attach
cd to plows harrows and wagons.
So keen has the agricultural con-
test become that plots of ground that
formerly went to waste are now be-
ing prepared for gardens. For miles
and miles the blowing extends right
up to the railroad tracks, and in
places, especially in. the central ana
southern parts of Germany, minia-
ture truck gardens lie in between the
rails-the gardens lie in between the
men and minor railroad officials.
The approach to every city OF any
size in the land is heralded by acres
of tiny gardens, planted and cared
for by city residents, who is every
spare moment make for the suburbs
and spend their time in working. To
maintain at least small plot OF
ground has become almost a patrlo-
tic duty.
Greater Berlin, in common with
dozens of other cities, today presents
an unprecedented appearance. Ten
mis- courts by the dozen have been
ripped up and transformed into gar
dens. A trip through the suburbs on
any afternoon reveals hundreds OF
persons bent over their agricultural
work.
With characteristic German thor
oughness the gardening impulse has
been carefully forstered for months.
In the winter plans already were LAID
for giving instruction to women in
the agricultural arts, and now that
spring has arrived the female rela-
lives Of men in the field are more
than doing their share toward rails
ing crop that shall be record
breaker.
