The weights and measures used in the Colony consist of the standards in use in the United Kingdom, and the following Chinese weights and measures, given with their equivalents in avoirdupois:
| 1 fan (candareen) | = | .0133 ounces |
| 1 ts'in (mace) | = | .133 ounces |
| 1 leung (tael) | = | 1.33 ounces |
| 1 kan (catty = 16 taels) | = | 1.33 pounds |
| 1 tam (picul = 100 catties) | = | 133.33 pounds |
| 1 tam (picul = 100 catties) | = | 1.19 cwts. |
| 1 tam (picul = 100 catties) | = | 0.0595 tons |
| 1 ch'ek (foot) | = | Statutory equivalent 14⅝ inches. The ch'ek is divided into 10 ts'un (inches), and each ts'un into ten fan, or tenths. |
In practice the equivalent length of a ch'ek varies, according to the trade in which it is used, from 14⅝ inches to 11½ inches, the commonest equivalent being 14.14 inches.

# Hong Kong Annual Report, 1956/Chapter 11

Welfare work in present day Hong Kong is carried out against a social background probably without parallel anywhere else in the world. The outstanding factor in this background is density of population, a population which has become swollen far beyond the Colony's capacity to absorb it effectively, and which includes some 700,000 who came to Hong Kong as refugees from Mainland China. Next in importance in the social background is the low standard of living of a large part of the population, and the fact that the restrictions on Hong Kong's traditional status as a free port, which have been in existence since shortly after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, have caused a slow but progressive deterioration in living standards generally. The population is almost entirely Chinese, the great majority being Cantonese from the neighbouring province of Kwangtung. Probably less than 50% have lived in the Colony as long as ten years.
Hong Kong has always been fortunate in the number of religious and voluntary organizations which serve its welfare needs. there are some with a hundred years of service to the Colony who are still working here. Government did not directly concern itself with social welfare work until it set up its own Social Welfare Office in 1948. this department, from its beginning as in offshoot of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs, has grown steadily, and now comprises seven separate divisions dealing with Relief, Child Welfare, Youth Welfare, Women and Girls' Welfare, Probation, Community Development, and Special Welfare Services (which includes such handicapped groups as the blind and crippled).
The relationship between the official Social Welfare Office and the many unofficial religious and voluntary welfare bodies has always been close and harmonious, and this has drawn particular comment from welfare workers visiting the Colony from overseas. It is Government's policy to encourage wherever possible that spirit of service to the community which is so characteristic of Hong Kong, and the Social Welfare Office is the direct link between the Government and the voluntary welfare organizations, both Chinese and non-Chinese.

# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Parsley

Layout 2
PARSLEY.
This should be grown by every gardener on account of its usefulness, both for seasoning and garnishing. As it seeds in the second season, fresh plantings should be made every spring. The seed, being very slow to germinate, should be soaked in tepid water for twenty-four hours before planting. The best way is to sow in the hotbed or cold frame and transplant to the garden, but it can be sown in drills where wanted and thinned out to the proper distance apart. I always try to have a bed of it near the kitchen door, as it saves much running; if such a bed cannot be conveniently placed, some should be cut and brought in with the other vegetables, as it will keep fresh some days if kept in cold water. In the fall some of the best roots should be taken up and planted in the cold frame, or put in pots and boxes in the sunny ​windows of the house, for a winter supply. The leaves and tops from trimming the celery are also very fine for flavoring.
EXTRA CURLED DWARF PARSLEY.
The Extra Curled Dwarf is so much finer and handsomer than the other kinds that it should be the only one grown.
# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Peppers

Layout 2
PEPPERS.
The seed should be sown about the middle of March, in the hotbed, if wanted for summer use, and as soon as the nights are warm they should be planted out. They can be sown in the open ground if the fruit is not wanted for use before fall. As they are used in preparing various kinds of pickles, etc., it would probably be the better plan to plant some at both times. When about six inches high, they should be transplanted to the rows where they arc to fruit, and should be set about two feet apart in the row. Where room is scarce, I usually set two pepper plants between each hill of cantaloupes, as they grow well above the vines and are not at all in the way, while having the ground shaded from the hot sun by the vines of the melons, the surface being kept cool and moist by their broad leaves, is of great advantage to the peppers. In choosing varieties, ​those kinds having the mildest flavor and handsomest appearance should be selected.
VARIETIES OF PEPPERS.
Burpee’s Ruby King.—This variety produces the handsomest, and at the same time the largest and mildest peppers that I have ever grown; one specimen this season being six inches long and over ten
inches in round circumference. When ripe the fruit is a beautiful, bright, ruby-red color, and the flavor is mild and pleasant, being much milder than in any other variety of red pepper.
​Burpee’s Golden Upright.—In this variety the fruit grows in a different manner from any other large pepper that I have ever seen; it grows upright on the fruit stems, instead of pendulous. The fruits are large and handsome, being about four to five
BURPEE’S GOLDEN UPRIGHT PEPPER.
inches in length, and are of rich golden yellow tinged with red. In taste it is as mild as the Ruby King—the two making a very fine contrast when used together.
Bull Nose and Golden Dawn are the finest of the older kinds, but do not compare with the two above given, either for size or mildness of flavor.
Red Cluster.—This is one of the finest varieties that I have ever grown; it is low and bushy in ​growth, and is covered with a profusion of thin, round peppers, about three inches in length and one-quarter inch in diameter at the base, tapering to a long, sharp point. When ripe, the fruit is a brilliant coral red, and a plant covered with fruit looks like

some brilliant-foliaged plant that has escaped from the flower garden. It is very hot and pungent in flavor, and an idea of the productiveness can be had from the fact that over twelve hundred were counted on a single plant this last summer.
# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Okra

OKRA.
This plant, like the carrot, is too little grown, as its green pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and mixed stews; besides being very palatable when stowed and served as is a dish of asparagus; the pods can also be dried for winter use. The seeds should be planted in drills, and if the dwarf variety be used, which I think is preferable, as it produces an abundance of pods and does not take up nearly so much room, the plants may be allowed to stand about one and a half feet apart in the row, the rows being three feet apart, though a quarter or half a row in the kitchen garden, as here described, will furnish an ample supply, both for use and drying. For either purpose, they should be cut before the pods attain their full size or they will be hard and woody. For drying, the best way is to string ​them on a fine wire or thread and suspend them to the rafters of a cool loft or garret until wanted for use. The culture of this vegetable is very simple, as

the seeds are planted in drills about two inches deep, and the after treatment is the same as for corn.
# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Parsnips

Layout 2
PARSNIPS.
This is a winter vegetable, needing hard freezing to refine and bring out its best quality; the roots should be left to stand where grown until they can be dug in the spring or through the winter as wanted, though some may be dug and stored in heaps for use when the ground is frozen too solidly to admit of digging them. If there is more than are wanted for table use, there should be no delay in getting them dug and marketed as early in the spring as possible, ​for when they begin to sprout and grow, they very soon become woody and unfit to eat. A row should be sown in the garden at the same time as the onions, beets, etc., are planted. It is best to sow the seed quite thickly; by thickly I mean one seed every inch or so; when the young plants are about three inches high they should be thinned out to six inches apart in the row, care being taken to leave only one plant in a place, as, if two are left, they will spoil the symmetrical shape of the roots by growing against each other. In planting the seed I always try to run it in between two rows of beets, onions, lettuce, or other early crop, thus working it with the wheel hoe while

small, and when the other crops have been taken off there is room to work it with the cultivator, which is run as close to the rows and as deeply as possible, so that the roots may attain the largest size. In digging the roots when the ground is frozen hard and is impenetrable to the spade, I use a long iron post digger with a steel blade.
VARIETIES OF PARSNIPS.
For the last three seasons I have grown the Improved Guernsey, and have found it so much superior in size and quality to the Long Smooth, as to be above comparison. The roots are smooth, fine shaped, and free from small roots, while the quality is very superior.
# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Potatoes

Layout 2
POTATOES.
A small planting, say two or three rows, of these should be made as early as possible in the spring, the amount planted depending on how soon they will be followed by the main crop. These may be planted in the furrow when the ground is plowed, but I prefer to plant the earliest ones in furrows struck out about three inches deep, after the ground has been thoroughly prepared, as they will come up more quickly. The rows should be dressed with phosphate, to give them a quick growing start, and the pieces of tuber placed about one foot apart; the ground may be run over with a sharp spike harrow when the potatoes are just coming through, or left a little longer and then worked with the cultivator. The soil must be kept well worked, and as close to the roots as it is possible to run. The bugs must be watched for and destroyed as soon as they appear, either by dusting with Paris green mixed with plaster, or with other insect poisons, or by picking them off and destroying them by hand, which is the easier way when the patch is small and potato plants are young. If these early bugs are destroyed before they can lay their eggs, the work of protecting the summer crop will be greatly ​lessened. Where the main crop of potatoes is to be raised in the garden, they should be planted about the first day of May, or the middle of April, that they may be harvested by the middle or last of August, and the ground used for a crop of turnips, peas, or other second-crop vegetables. As soon as the vines begin to die, and the skin of the potatoes is well set, so that it will not rub off with the fingers, the tubers should be dug or plowed up and stored, not only that the ground may be used again, but because, if they are left in the ground, they will either start to grow again or begin to rot. When dug, I pile them in small heaps of twenty bushels or so on the barn floor, dusting each pile as it is made with dry, air-slacked lime, about a quart to a heap; this helps to dry and preserve them, and prevents any tendency to rot. The barn doors are left open through the day, for a few days, and the potatoes dry gradually, until time for storing them, when it comes cold, though where there is a cool vegetable cellar it will save time to store them at once, and, of course, at this time of the year the ventilators of the cellar should be wide open. Where the cellar is too warın and the potatoes start to sprout, it is said that it may be prevented by turning them frequently, but I have never had an opportunity to try it. The first planting should be made of some very early ripening varieties, while the main crop should be of a kind selected for good size, heavy cropping, and the best cooking qualities.
# How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre (10th Ed)/Pumpkins

Layout 2
PUMPKINS.
These take up so much room that they properly belong in the corn field, or in a patch of their own, in one of the cultivated fields. If there is no place for them outside the kitchen garden, and they can be kept far enough away from the squashes and cantaloupes, they can be planted about every twenty feet, in every fourth row of potatoes or sweet corn. They should not be planted until the corn or potatoes

NEW GOLDEN MARROW PUMPKIN.
have grown three or four inches high, or they will be in the way of cultivating these crops. If one row of the corn were left out, and a row of pumpkins planted, it would probably be the most satisfactory way to grow them, as the tall growing corn, of which there should be at least five rows between them and any other vines, would prevent the pollen from mixing, and as the hills need only be four or five feet apart, a great many could be raised in a row. The ​pumpkins must all be gathered in and stored before any heavy frosts, as it will spoil and start them to rotting.
VARIETIES OF PUMPKINS.
Small Sugar.—This is very handsome and prolific, of small size, the pumpkins averaging about ten inches in diameter; the skin is a deep orange yellow. It is very fine grained in flesh, sweet in taste, and an excellent keeper.
Golden Marrow.—Of round shape, slightly ribbed and flattened at the ends; the skin is a rich golden orange color; the flesh is of extra quality, and very soft and tender when cooked. It is a splendid keeper, vigorous grower, and keeps well throughout the winter.

STANZAS TO THE MEMORY OF * * *
In the full tide of melody and mirth,  While joy's bright spirit beams from every eye, Forget not him, whose soul, though fled from earth,  Seems yet to speak in strains that cannot die.
Forget him not, for many a festal hour,  Charm'd by those strains, for us has lightly flown: And memory's visions, mingling with their power,  Wake the heart's thrill at each familiar tone.
Blest be the harmonist, whose well-known lays  Revive life's morning dreams, when youth is fled, And, fraught with images of other days,  Recall the loved, the absent, and the dead.
His the dear art whose spells awhile renew  Hope's first illusions in their tenderest bloom— Oh! what were life, unless such moments threw  Bright gleams, "like angel visits," o'er its gloom?

THE FORSAKEN HEARTH.
"And still the green is bright with flowers;
And dancing through the sunny hours,
Like blossoms from enchanted bowers
 On a sudden wafted by,
Obedient to the changeful air,
And proudly feeling they are fair,
 Glide bird and butterfly:
But where is the tiny hunter-rout,
That revelled on with dance and shout,
 Against their airy prey?"–Wilson.
The Hearth, the Hearth is desolate—the fire is quenched and gone,
That into happy children's eyes once brightly laughing shone;
The place where mirth and music met is hush'd through day and night:
Oh! for one kind, one sunny face, of all that here made light!
But scattered are those pleasant smiles afar by mount and shore,
Like gleaming waters from one spring dispersed to meet no more;
Those kindred eyes reflect not now each other's grief or mirth,
Unbound is that sweet wreath of home—alas! the lonely Hearth!
The voices that have mingled here now speak another tongue,
Or breathe, perchance, to alien ears the songs their mother sung;
Sad, strangely sad, in stranger lands, must sound each household tone—
The Hearth, the Hearth is desolate—the bright fire quenched and gone!
But are they speaking, singing yet, as in their days of glee? Those voices, are they lovely still? still sweet on land or sea?
Oh! some are hushed, and some are changed—and never shall one strain
Blend their fraternal cadences triumphantly again!
And of the hearts that here were linked by long remembered years,
Alas! the brother knows not now where fall the sister's tears! One haply revels at the feast, while one may droop alone;
For broken is the household chain—the bright fire quenched and gone!
Not so!—'tis not a broken chain—thy memory binds them still,
Thou holy Hearth of other days, though silent now and chill! The smiles, the tears, the rites beheld by thine attesting stone,
Have yet a living power to mark thy children for thine own.
The father's voice—the mother's prayer—though called from earth away—
With music rising from the dead, their spirits yet shall sway;
And by the past, and by the grave, the parted yet are one,
Though the loved Hearth be desolate, the bright fire quenched and gone.
