CHINESE AS SLOW AS EVER
Agricultural Machinery Is a Rarity
in the Fields Of Their
Country.

In the agricultural sections Of the

agricultural implements. The Chi.

the gardens find the Chinese nipple.
ments Of greater utility than any Of
the foreign and adhere to them. The
Chinese hoe, which contains 4 much
greater weight Of metal than the for.
eign one, being practically a mattock,
Is, according to their ideas, more
serviceable in this heavy soil than
the foreign Implement.
All the ordinary hand implements
Of agriculture are shaped and con.
structed according to Chinese taste.
Agricultural machinery IL not used
In this section, even the plow being
. great rarity. The Chinese turn over
the ground usually with their mat.
tocks. It is narrowed in primitive
way and when the crop is gathered
hand labor does all the work.
Under these conditions It IL not
strange that the importing firms OF
Shanghai do not consider 1t worth
while to carry q line OF agricultural
implements. It Is difncult even to OBJ.
tain q foreign, implement for use in
the garden Of foreigner in Shanghai.
This is the present condition and to
all appearances It bids fair to con.
tinue for an indefinite period. In the
north. and especially in Manchuria,
some agricultural implements are be-
ing used, but these are rather the re-
suit Of Russian introduction than OF
Chinese desire. The statement was
made recently in one Of the northern
papers that the Introduction OF mod.
