To make Germany agriculturally selfsupporting, the creation of new kinds of grain and other plants was advocated by Professor E. Baur at the general meeting of the German League for Technics and Science. Professor Baur considered the creation of such plants very possible through systematic crossings between the existing indigenous products, an increase of which to the extent of only 15 per cent, he believed, would suffice 'to change Germany from a grain importing to a grain exporting country. Such new grain species, he said, would allow of more profuse watering by means of artificial rain with the prospect of thereby extracting a much greater amount of nutritive values from the soil.
