in Berlin at that time tspring and
early summer. 1870 and once a week
for meat was all that could be cx-
pccted, Sometimes even this was i'm
possible. As green vegetables and
fruit were plentiful and the full quota
OF bread sufficient We got on very well
with our vegetable diet. Some people,
however, were alarmed, but l had &C.

not need meats in warm weather, the

OF July. 1916. 1t was safe to hope that
meat rstions would be considerably
larger than any time since the first
year Of the war.
However, much privation Is expert

II is not easy to replace 1917 900 tons
Of lard formerly from the United

10000 ton OF tallow, 81 900 tons of
bacon and fish fats. Also the milk
shortage Is inconvenient. In fact, in
some cases this shortage causes real
hardship, because Denmark. Holland,
Switzerland and Russia formerly
shipped much cream. milk, butter and
cheese TO Germany. Milk Of home
production has been reserved entirely
for invalids and children.

Rye was fertilzcd with stable manure
and a variety of yellow clover was
sown between the row and ploughed

no other fertilization except stable

From this actual example we find
that In Importance the chief fertilizers
are stable manure, Chile saltpetre and
phosphates, The question IL, are these
fertilizers holding out or Is the pro-
duCtiy,ty of the soil decreasing for
lack of these fertilizers? AS regards
stable manure the supply Is dlmin-

manure contributes nitrogen, and nj
