- Title
AGRICULTURE IN EASTERN EUROPE.
- Authors
Durand, E. Dana
- Abstract
This article talks about agriculture in Eastern Europe. As a result of overpopulation and underproduction, the agricultural output per head of the population of Eastern Europe is significantly low as compared with that in the U.S. According to the author, the small consumption of meat and other animal products in the region greatly affects the whole character of agriculture, as a consequent lack of fertilizing manure results in low crop yields. He explained that war affected Eastern Europe's agricultural production, with military operations precluding the cultivation of soil over considerable areas, peasants being driven away from their homes and their animals being carried away for military use.
