Hindenburg ruft Dich auf zur verstärkten Mitwirkung im wirtschaftlichen Kampf. Das ist Deine vaterländische Pflicht wie die Hingabe von Leib und Leben an der Front. Woran fehlt es am meisten? An Speisekartoffeln! Deutschlands Kartoffelernte darfnie wieder so gering ausfallen wie 1916. Pflanze nie mehr abgebaute Kartoffeln, die viel schlechter lohnen, als neuere Sorten. Wechsele bei schlechter Ernte des Saatgut, beziehe es durch Deine Landwirt: schaftskammer, möglichst vom Sandboden des Ostens. Pflanze auf keinen Fall zu kleine Saatkartoffeln, schneide die Kartoffeln nicht wieder. Dünge kräftig mit Stallmist, Gründüngung, Kunstdung. Hatte die Kartoffeln unkrautfrei, behäufele jedesmal, wenn der Boden verkrustet ist. Und schliesslich die Hauptsache: Entschliesse Dich sofort, mehr Acker zum Frühjahr für Kartoffeln fertig zu machen, keinesfalls aber baue weniger. 135 DZ v.

BERLIN, SW [The war commandments of the potato grower. Farmer! Hindenburg calls on you for increased cooperation in the economic battle. This is your patriotic duty just like sacrificing life and limb at the front. Where is the greatest shortage? In cooking potatoes! Germany's potato harvest must never be so low as in 1916. Never plant degraded potatoes again, which are much less cost-effective than newer varieties. If the harvest is poor, change the seeds used; buy them from your local farmers' chamber, preferably from the sandy soil of the east. Never plant excessively small seed potatoes, do not re-cut the potatoes. Fertilise intensively with horse manure, plant fertiliser, artif. fertiliser. Keep the potatoes free of weeds, hoe the soil whenever it becomes compacted. And finally the main thing: make up your mind at once to prepare more acreage for spring potatoes, but in no event plant less. 135 DH per hectare: Germany's average potato harvest. 216 DH per hectare: 10-year average of well-managed potato farming on light soil.
