BARREN AREAS
CULTIVATION IN GERMANY. BACK TO LAND CAMPAIGN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, December 18. For the purpose of providing all the food Germany needs the Ministry of Labour has prepared a 20-year “back to the land” campaign in which the existing voluntary labour army of 246,000 will be supplanted by a conscripted body of 500,000 which will increase the value of agricultural produce by £100,000,000 a year. The existing volunteers are expected in 1935 to complete 100 new villages and 5000 new homesteads on hitherto barren areas in East Friesia, Hanover, Pomerania and Silesia.
