Our Poor Record,

The average yield Of potatoes in the
United States is 1874 bushels to the
acre. In Germany 1t Is 1S3 bushels
The average yield Of wheat here is $50
bushels. In Germany it is 80. The
yield Of oats here is 37.4. In Germany
it is Al. The yield Of barley is 29.7. In
Germany each acre produces thirty-six
bushels.
But German fields did not always
yield such bountiful crops. Thirty-five
years ago Germany raised only 10
bushels OF potatoes, nineteen bushels
Of wheat, twenty-five bushels Of oats
and twenty-three bushels Of barley to
the acre. The German soil is poor.
The German climate is unfavorable to
successful agriculture. Yet by a care

it has been possible to increase their
