FARMERS OF MANCHURIA
HAVE PROSPEROUS YEAR
KaoIiang Is the Staple and Most
Profitable Crop

Reports from all quarters indicate
that the year 1908 has been an unusu-
ally prosperous one for the Manchurian
farmers. Especially is this true as
regards the farmers of the province of
Shengking, where the crop yield is
stated to be 90 per cent greater than
the average annual yield. The general
range of prices for all farm products
is also somewhat above the average.
The total population of the province
of Shengking (Fengtien) is 10,312,241.
of which number 2,52O,145 are engaged
in agriculture.
The total area of the province under
cultivation is 4,333,333 acres-that is,
there are 1.T2 acres of titled land per
capita of the farming population. No
accurate data are available as to the
average size of a southern Manchurian
farm, but it is not far wrong to put
it at u acres.
The following table indicates the ap-
proXimate acreage devoted to each crop.
together with the total amount pro-
duced of each and the approximate
total thereof:

AS shown by the table, kaoliang
(sorghum vulgare, Barbados mille)
is the most extensively grown and the
most valuable crop, while the soy
bean is second. Kaoliang is the food
staple of Manchuria, and bears the
same relative value in the food econ
omy Of Manchurians that rice does
with the southern Chinese, or wheat in
the greater portion of the Manchu-
rian's daily food, it supplies an alco-
holic drink, thatching for houses and
barns, mating for summer sheds and
winter floors, WindbreakS and fuel.
No part of the kaoliang plant is al
lowed. to go to waste. Even the stub
bic and roots are carefully pulled up,
dried, and put away for fuel. The
green blades are gathered just before
the grain is fully ripe, tied in bundles,
and stored for winter fodder for the
donkeys and cattle.
A kaoliang field after the crop has
been harvested is absolutely bare,
there being nothing left of the vege-
tation to re-enter the soil, and herein
lies the chief and practically the only
objection to the continuous cropping
of kaoliang.
The soy bean, on the other hand, is a
good soil fertilizer, and is extensively
grown throughout the province. The
bean is the greatest of all export crops
from Manchuria, and can always be
relied upon to afford the farmer ready
cash. Bean oil is used throughout
China for culinary purposes being en-
ployed as lard is used in American
households, while the residue, after the
old has been expressed, bean cake, is
exported mostly to Japan, where it is
used for fertilizer.

Not Their Funeral.

Republicans In the General AS
sembly made no effort last week
to defeat the election of Stone. 1t
was not their funeral. He had
managed to get into the statutes
senatorial primary election pri-
mary election law under which be
could utilize that element of the
Democracy which he controls and
had thus defeated Governor Folk
for his party nomination. He was
the choice of majority of Demo
cratic voters, no matter how he
had managed to get that majority.
1t was a Democratic affair. He
had a majority in the General AS
sem bly, which could not be over
co me by the Republicans. without
unseating Democratic members in
the House-a matter OF doubtful
expediency, though eight or ten of
them might have been contested
on legal grounds.
True, the opposition of some of
the Democrats to Stone might
have been encouraged with hope
full results, but it is not the bust
ness of Republicans to promote
party dissension. They could not
afford to meddle with a family
quarrel among the Democratic
brethren, especially when not
asked for counsel or cooperation.
They could only stand firm fol
Mckinley, their own nominee, a
man in every way worthy of theil
support and their endorsement.
Stone was elected by the Demo
Gratis, and whatever complaint
may arise among the people must
be lodged at the door of the Demo
cracy. He was presented to the
Legislature by Folk man as the
hero of many successful battles in
behalf of his party; as a states
man tried and true; as a man
worthy of every Democratic vote
in the General Assembly-and he
got them. Ii it was a funeral
Democratic leaders were the pail
bearers and Democratic chieftians
officiated. The Republicans coult
only look on with fearless eyel
and hope that no resurrection may
come for the political corpse.

War With Japan.

Admiral Robley D. Evans, in an
interview at Pittsburg, Pa, one
day this week said: "This coun-
try will have war with japan and
it will be one of the most terrible
of modern times. But it will be a
battle of dollars, and not of bull
let's. Mr.. Hobson or any other
man who says there is any desire
on the part of Japan to fight this
nation is talking the utmost fool
ishness.
