TEUT0N law ON FOODS
NATION MUST NO LONGER
DEPEND ON OTHERS
Intensive Cultivation Has Been
Urged As the Remedy For
Shortage

Berlin, October 7.-ECorrespon-
dence OF The United Pressl-Mil-
lions Of Germans can die for want
of food. as against thousands dur
ing the blockade, unless the nation
takes the strictest measures to meet
it's food problems, according 10
Professor Won Gruber of Munich,
speaking before the Scientific Con-
gress at Bad Nauheim.
He contended that the Versailles
treaty had robbed Germany OF vital
food supply sources and that many
were consequently condemned to
death. He counselled intensive pro-
duction, greater application Of fer
tilizers, and as moderate consumpt-
ton as possible.
The idea that Germany Ncould lean
on, foreign lands for large food sup
plies, as 1t has recently done, is
deceptive, he said. This system, he
pointed out, must come to an end
some time, due to the inability of
the nation to repay under Its low
cred valuta and due to its lowered
productive capacity traceable to de-
creased raw materials.
Problems OF Farmer
"Will the agriculturists work for
paper money!" he queried. els he
willing to put In twelve hours work
while the cities only work eight.
Will he be industrious when he sees
the cities idle-even against their
will. II he is unwilling to meet
these conditions, then hunger, boil
shevism, anarchy will come in Ger
many, dragging down with them the
'kulter' Of Germany as well an that
of the other lands of Europe"
Other speakers pointed out that
the development of nitrogen from
the air must be furthered to as
sist in fertilizing the country.
Recent Investigations show that
Germany is tending to extensive
cultivation rather than intensive.
due to lack Of fertilizers. That is
to say, farmers are letting some land
lie falllow to restore 1t instead of
resorting to use of expensive fer
,tilizers.
Incidentally, a serious phase Of
the food situation Is that consider
able grain, fit for human consumpt-
ton, Is being fed to cattle, since
this is cheaper for the landlord than
to sell his grain for bread and then
buy fodder in the Ausland for his
cattle at the prevailing high prices.
