It attributes the gap to cultivation methods rather than soil, noting Germany’s 1912 yield of 223 bushels per acre versus the U.S. 115.4, and cites Belgium 318, Holland 286, UK 177, Canada 175, Sweden 173, Japan 148, Argentina 188, with France, Chile and others also ahead. The bulletin calls for longer crop rotations, more fertilization, better seed, and improved marketing.
