Associated Press Special
Merlin. August iMi Far reaching
experiments are being made in the
German armj in teaching the sol-
diers both practical and theoretical
farming during their service in the
ranks Many of the soldiers even
those from the cities become so in-
terested that when they have finish-
ed their term they take advantage oi
law passed some years ago by which
they are enabled to purchase small
plots of land by the payment in
ready money of a quarter of its val-
ue. in this way it is hoped to stem
i lu* rush of people from the agricul
tural districts to the cities which
has caused so much anxiety to the
authorities of recent years
The Prussian State itself sells
much of its reclaimed moor lands in
this manner In plots ranging from
ball in a< < 1 twenty-five
It charges interest at the rate of
only 3 m. per cent on three-quarters
of the purchase money and also
advances money for the erection of
houses and barns. The tenant may
pay off as much as lie likes every
year and after certain number of
years the property becomes his own
In some instances larger plots oi
land are acquired from private
owners by the State and laid out in
contiguous small farms which are
sold in a similar manner to farm
laborers. These by a system of co-
operative working are enabled t >
cultivate their laud at a much
cheaper rate than if they weie
ing alone. The idea of the gradual
purchase system is spreading rapid-
ly through the government’s efforts
and many rural districts hitherto
sparsely populated and poorly culti-
vated. are becoming thriving agri-
cultural centers. The Government
has appointed 150 com mission on-
to assist in the purchase of real
estate by ex-soldiers and thrifty
workers.
The hoof and mouth disease is
now making such ravages anioiu
German flocks that even tin Agra
rian organs admit that th< meat
supply of the country is seriously
threatened. An official report o. i
the Imperial Government dated July I
I .\\. shows that ‘.51926 farms located l
in 4.808 different districts are af-]
fee ted. One result of the spread of
the (lisoHfi.1 lias been a reduef/oi; in j
the number of raffle fn flit* coiinfry. /
/ According <<> the latest cft'dnl
I reports the number of aII live stock
except swine brought to market this
year has been smaller than iri 11*10
It is claimed r>y me wgiarmn news-
papers that the disease was brought
into Germany in June. 191 n. from
Russia and that despite the rigor-
ous precautionary measures of the
authorities it has spread to its
present proportions in the brief
space of one year. Just now the
meat supply is further threatened
by the certainty that all sorts of
animal food products will be scarce
and high. The grass cron has been
greatly damaged bs th<
beat and drought of the spring ana
summer The potato crop also as i.
j feared will be much shorter than
usual; and this means r m b for th
meat supply since the 1 arte of on- j

Hamburg reported a reduction o;
2G0(H) in a total of 487X8. Tl
causes assigned for the lighter out-
go this year are in part the unfavor-
able business situation in the t inted
States and the more rigid applica-
tion of the American immigration
laws Another cause however is evi- I
dently the prosperous condition of
the countries that now supply the
I'nited States Tills year Germany it-
ilhlt is feeling very keenly the short
age in the supply of Russian farm
laborers due to the fact that Russia
is now enjoying unusual prosperity
wages have been raised and the peo-
ple are consequently staying at
home The shortage of Russian la
borers has amounted to the propor-
tions of a calamity for the farmers t
in the eastern German provinces j
Fewer Galicians and Hungarian la-
borers too are coming into Ger-
many this year owing to more pros j
porous times in those countriesStlie
