Berlin, July 17.
Although by virtue of its intensive methods German agriculture produces more in proportion to the cultivated area than other countries, it is planned to stimulate production still further in connection with the Four Year Plan. The great food production exhibition at Munich affords a good view of what has been achieved in this direction. The most interesting scheme is that of providing more rain water.
The theory that rain could be produced artificially by cannon fire was exploded during the war. The present plan is to send water to the fields that need it most by means of a widespread irrigation system.—Trans-Ocean.
