NO FEAR OF STARVATION

NO FEAR OF STARVATION
BY WIN. BAYARD HALL.

Berlin Aug 25.-My observation OF
- ~, r,,ast made during a tour of the
central empires n fortnight ago are
horne out by reports from thousands
of communities which are now being
received ard collected 1T the ministry
Of the interior.
The estimates, gathered from the
chief agricultural sections of the Ger
man and Austro Hungarian empires,
noint to the conclusion that Germany
(o,,tsida of the occupied territory
and not counting shipments of grain
from Rumania) will garner mar
vest exceeding the 1915 yield by fully
10 per cent This prediction is oaSeo
on sectional forecasts and on samples
OF threshing tests
When the official figures are made
public the world at large will learn
that Germany's crop of wheat, rye,
oats, barley and potatoes is such that
the prophecy of the allies regarding
the starvation of Germany is made to
look ridiculous.
Potatoes Uncertain.
Reports now at hand from Ger
many granaries, which include
chiefly East and West Prussia, Silesia,
SchIeswig- Holstein, Mecklenburg, Ba-
varia and SaXonia, say that rye and
oats are dominating in yield the
heaviest emphasis, apparently, mas
been placed on the desirability of OBJ
tanning amplec rops of these grains.
Hardly less interest has been taken in
the cultivation of wheat, barley pota-
toes and sugar beets, all of which,
when tbs final records ere made, will
show yield far above the avera ge
German crop. Potatoes alone are the
uncertain quantity. but nc fears are eX-
pressed that the tubcrs will fail to
measure up to anticipation.
No other feature of the pation's life,
aside from the war. has so engrossed
public concern as the 1915 crop
Leaden skies and excessive rains for a
long time during the midsummer gave
rise to grave forebodings, but later
winds and cool weather accomplished
the evaporation of the surplus mois-
ture and the nation today is con-
graduating itself that the battle on the
farms has been won
Intensified Farming.
Never in the worlds history has in
tensifled farming been put to such
rigid practice. Every spot of German
earth has brought forth some life sus-
tanning blade or grain. In some sec
tons the scarcity of threshing ma
chimes has forced men to take to fails

ono Of the most momentous scenes
which the oldest parliamentary vet,

The new premier declared that be-
