about by mud dikes, each in perfect
order; next to them, OH slightly high
cr ground, arc the patches of barley,
peas and mi: :, all arranged with a
precision almost mathematical
While one field lies fallow for brief
six months, another next to it is tend
cd with an individual care almost be-
yond belief.
Each rice plant that is sunk in the
mud of the flooded field receives al
most as much attention as the care
fully numbered fowls that roost seach
night on the thatch Of the farmers
hut. Seed is not scattered boardcast;
it is too precious for that. Instead it
is pushed into the loan of forcing
bed by the finger of the farmer or
his wife.
When the rice plants are three or
four inches high they arc transplant
ed to the paddy, groups Of three or
four plants in HILL This is grilling
work. It means that the farmer, his
wife and his daughters, naked all of
them save a cloth about the waist,
must bend their backs all day in the
streaming fields during May and ear
~ June in water and heavy mud up
to their knees and fighting lceches
constantly.
When the stalks Of grain and rice
are above ground and flourishing
comes the farmers dread: The tor
rental rains of the naiubai (phoneti-
callv transcribcd,) or summer wet
season. Tn an hour the work of
months may he flattcncd to the
ground, dikcs washed out and the
rivers roaring over the fields that had
cnc"ached on their dry channels.
Nothing but total loss of crops can
result from this onslaught of the rain.
Even with all conditions favoring.
the Japanese farmer has to work like
a scrf to gather his harvest. The rows
OF grain are cut with n sickle, for no
field is large enough to accommodate
a cutting and threshing machine even
though so expensive an adjunct to
farming on large scale could be af-
fOrdcd.
When the grain is brought out of
the field it is laid by handfuls on the
ground in front Of the farmers house
and there the heads are pulled off and
the kernels, still bearded. are caught
on piece of mating by the laborious
process of pulling each handful Of
grain through the close set teeth of n
dcntated iron knife.
Old women and children do this
work and it is usually the old women
who have to place thc kernels in
wooden mortar and pound them with
a heavy mallct until the chaff is
l"oScncd. Then the handfuls of mixed
Kernels and grain are tossed in the
air over piece of mattin" contiu
uouSly until the wind has carried
away the rhafl'.
Each seed that the farmer gains af
ter his long year of untirinw effort
seems to represent an individual plea
Tor mrhcaSc made to the parent seed
that was planted. for on no other land
under heaven is the parable of the
seed that is Sown so faithfully cxcm-
pllficd and perhaps nowhere else does
the planter of the seed pray so ar
IDENTIFY against the inexorablc Dropor-
tlon of disappointment.
