GERMANY'S FOOD OUTLOOK.
MORE COMPLICATED.
DECREASING CROP AREA
(Times and Sydney Sun' Services)
AMSTERDAM, February 11
The Socialist paper "Vorwaerts" publishes details of the harvest of 1915. It was unsatisfactory, the cultivated area having decreased and the crops suffering from the inexperienced labourers substituted for the agricultural labourers taken away for military duty. The military strain on the railways is causing a shortage in supplies of artificial manure. Many manufacturing firms now prefer making the more profitable machine guns, instead of agricultural machinery. The tcne of the article suggests that the German food problem is becoming more complicated.
