Farms OF COrea.

Today most of the farms of Corea are
confined to the valleys. The area being
cultivated is just about half that which
Is titled In Japan, and If it were as in
tensively farmed it would be feeding
5000, 600 people instead of less than 1000
900. as now. 1 am told that the soil here
is naturally much better than that of ia
pan, but ! doubt If the product is one
fourth as large. The farmers f~ertilize but
little and they know nothing of artificial
manures During a recent trip over the
country I saw men carrying manure from
the villages to the fields on their backs,
and farther on bullocks were used for the
purpose, the stuff being loaded into baskets
of straw rope which hung down on each
side of the animal.
Everywhere the methods of cultivation
were crude. The plows were little more
than forked sticks shod with iron. They
are o~ne-handled affairs. drawn by bull
locks, reminding one of the plows of the
scriptures. Much OF the country is hoed
over by men and women. The clods are
broken up with mallets. which the peo-
pie swing back and forth as they. walk
through the burrows. There is no machin-
cry of any kind. The grain is all sowed
by hand. 1t is threshed with fails and
winnowed in the wind, the grain and chaff
being thrown high into the air.
The contrast between the country
scenes of Japan and Corea is striking.
Everything in the former country shines
with thrift. There is not a weed in the
fields. the houses are neat and well built
and the people clean and rosy from the
hot baths they take every day. All farm
ing here is lone in the most slovenly
way. The methods of taxation and
squeezing have been such as to leave but
little incentive to work, and the bulk
of the profits have gone TO the officials.
The farmhouses are mean. They are
squalid huts of mud and stone with roofs
of straw thatch tied on with strings. They
are collected together in little villages
which often nestle on the sides of the
hills. There are no trees or gardens
about them. Every home is surrounded

At Taiku, a city of $1,000, a hundred
miles further north, there is another large
japanese settlement, and Japanese cities
have sprung up at ~Pyengyang and Gensan.
Pyengyang is the biggest town between
Seoul and the Yalu. Previous to the Japan
China war it contained $4,000 people, and 1t
is now the third largest city in the empire.
1t lies on the right bank of the Taidong
river, some distance inland from the sea,
and its situation is such that some think
1t will eventually be the biggest town in
Corea- 1t has already in the neighborhood
Of 10000 japanese settlers, and a section
devoted to them has been laid out near
the station and is fast building up. Public
buildings have been erected. The Dali
Ichii Ginko has erected a new bank build
ing close to the gate and the settlement
has a city hall, a clubhouse, a theater and
a government hospital. Schools for both
japanese and Coreans are going up and the
dry bones OF the natives are beginning to
shake at the changes.
There are now between 5000 and 10000
japanese at Gensan on the west coast,
and there are 10000 or more here at Seoul,
with another large settlement at Chemulpo,
on the Yellow sea. twenty-six miles
away. More than $4,000 immigrants came
In last year and the prospects are for a
steady increase from now on. This is
especially SO from the fact that a big
colonization company. backed by the gov
ernment has been formed in Japan. This
has a capital of 100000, and it will ex-
ploit the crown lands which we're taken
charge of under certain conditions by the
Japanese after the abdicatlon Of the old
emperor now almost two years ago.

Well, that is just about the condition of
Japan and Korea. The strait which flows
between the countries can be crossed in a
night, and today the JAPANESE are emigrat-
ing in great numbers and gradually taking
possession Of this territory which they have
gotten through their struggle with Russia
There are already. outside the officials and
army, 1900 100 of them on the ground. and
they are rapidly changing the face OF the
country. They have their settlements in
all the large centers. I found Fusan a new
city when I landed there a few weeks ago.
Instead of mud huts. matched with straw,
running along dirty alleys, covered with
filth, a new Japanese city had arisen. Wide
streets, as clean as a Dutch kitchen floor,
crossed one another at right angles, run
ming far up the hills. There were many
two-story buildings. and shops with all
kinds Of goods. / rode several miles
through business streets OF one kind and
another, passed several schools and a big
city building, and finally stopped at a
three-story structure which proved to be a
commercial museum, containing every va
riety Of goods, both Japanese and Korean.
There were samples of Korean cotton and
Korean silk. and many suggestions to the
natives as to how they might develop their
country.

hope to tell you Of just what the morsel

prospective mastication. During the past
few months l have been travelling in
Japan, and, II hunger is any index, there
is no question but that Korea will even
tually rest I'm the Japanese stomach. Just
now the government is acting somewhat
on the humanitarian plan which we have
adopted as to the Philippine Islands. This
was originated by Prince Ito, and, as far
as he and his assistants can go, II is be-
ing carried out in good faith. The situa-
ton, however, is such that II is doubtful
whether this can be long continued.
Let me give you one phase of 1t in a
nutshell. Japan now has 5O,0oO.OOO of the
most industrious. most aggressive and most
entertaining souls upon earth, and to these
she is adding 10000 more. In births every
year. All these are confined to a country
about the size of California, a country so
mountainous that It's good farming land is
only 100000 acres. Collected in one place,
it would be about half the size of Ken
lucky. and this small area is now support
ing the whole fifty millions. II all the
land were divided equally there would only
be one-quarter acre per head and the hold
ings all told average less than two acres
in size. Suppose you were to cut our
farmers holdings down to two acres each
and put the whole American people into
Kentucky. you would have about the condi-
lions that prevail in japan. At the same
time. imagine that Indiana, just over the
Ohio river, had a more fertile soil and that

Land OF Mountains.
Corea, like Japan, is a land of noun
tains, but the mountains are less steep
and there are more broad, open valleys.
There is a range which runs north and
south from Manchuria to the Strait OF
Corea, with spurs branching off here and
there. The range is not lofty. There are
but few peaks a mile above the sea, and
the highest of them all is only 5000 feet.
This is Mount ~Palk-To-San, an extinct
volcano. whose crater is filled with water.
forming a beautiful lake Of unknown
depth. The average hills are below the
altitude of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, and
some slope off into plains.
All OF these mountains were at one time
well wooded. There were forests from one
end of the peninsula to the other. and the
farms ran up the sides OF the hills. Today
In the central and lower parts of Corea
the tops of the ridges are as bare as the
desert of Sahara, and there. is only a
thin growth of pines on the sides. This
is so all the way from Fusan to Seoul.

cut down the trees. Later they chop
away the sprouts and young growth and
finally pull up the grass until the country

How Corea Keeps Warm.

At this writing the streets of Seoul are
filled with bullocks, ponies and men loaded
with fuel which they have brought into
the city for sale. Porters go along with
carloads of evergreen branche fastened
to the jlggy, n sort of framework which
they wear upon their backs. Bullocks by
scores are entirely covered with bundles
of similar fuel. A single animal will carry
almost 1000 pounds. or as much as one
horse could haul in a cart in our country.
Indeed. the load is so large that you could
not put it into an American cart. IT rises
six or eight feet above the back OF the
bullock. and hangs down on the sides al
most to his feet, so that one sees little
more than his head, tail and hoofs as he
goes along the road. There are ponies
carrying wood. chopped into stove lengths
and tied up in bundles, and men laden with
charcoal which has been made in the hills.

flues, which run under the floor, and straw
