Then you come to the sandy regions. These are the famous "fertile plains of Flanders." But they are fertile only because of the severest toil. Rowntree says, "There is scarcely any soil in Europe so infertile by nature, and if abandoned for only two or three years it re- turns to barren waste. Constant care and enormous quantities of manure are required if good crops are to be obtained. A proprietor whose farm has been neglected by a bad tenant is glad to let it to a capable farmer rent-free fo...r some years, that it may be brought into good heart again." So intensive is the cultiva- tion of this tract that over one third of its area yields two crops a year. Thus alone could so dense a population thrive. The northernmost 150 BELGIUM: INTERNATIONAL WAIF portion of this plain is dotted with marshes and bogs, and is called the Campine. It is the most infertile and poverty-stricken portion of Belgium. To the southwest lies a rich loamy region, which gently ascends into the beauti- ful Ardennes.
