Tsang Shang districts. This rice is
greatly priced for curry and commands
high price in the San Francisco mar
ket. 1t would without doubt be very
remunerative crop here.
Although the Canton rice fields have
been in cultivation for upwards of
thousand years and produce two to
three crops annually. they are abun-
dainty fertile and show no signs of de-
creased crops No artificial fertilizers
are employed, but all refuse is most
carefully made use of, night soils be-
ing the main source of supply.
Conservation of Refuse.
One of the most striking lessons to
be learnt from an enquiry into the eco
nomic life of China is the system by
which the ultimate value is derived
from all waste. This is greatly exem-
plifed in the case of agricultural fer
tilization. Not only do cities control
and auction the privilege of disposing
Of public sewage, but landowners main
tain along the highways earthen re-
ceptacles for the convenience of trav-
elers It is not extravagant to assert
that, were modern sewage methods in
China, many cities would in a very
short time be reduced to condition
of famine by reason of crop diminu
ton.
Japan.
Passing to Japan the agricultural con-
dit:o were found to be very different
from those recently encountered. The
region south of Toxic is the most fully
cultivated and affords a revelation to
the traveller of the possibilities of agri-
cultural development. 1t may truly be
said that Japan is one vast garden in
the highest state of cultivation.
To rice alone over three million
acres are devoted, cut up into farms of
from one to FIVE acres. On account of
climatic conditions only one crop of
rice and another of wheat or barley
are grown annually, the rice being har
vested in the fall and the rotation crop
in the spring.
Experiment Work in Japan.
Tn contrast to China, Japan possesses
splendidly equipped department of
agriculture The main imperial expert
ment station is situated at Nishigahara,
near Toxic. where a staff of thirty spe-
cialists is in operation. Many of the
employees have received foreign educa-
ton and the research work is of high
order. Each of the forty prefectuTes
of the empire has special agricultural
demonstration station. The main lines
OF Investigation center around rice, tea
and tobacco. The latter crop is gov
ernment monopoly.
Japan and Cotton.
Ten years ago there were upwards Of
iftv thousand acres of land devoted TO
cotton cultivation in Japan, but this
has fallen off to less than one thousand.

LESSONS FROM
THE FAR EAST
Expert Reports on Cotton and
Rice in China and
Japan.

The recent mission of a representa-
tive of the Hawaii Experiment Station
to China and Japan in the interests or
our island agriculture, more particular
" with regard to the cotton and rice
industries, is an important one, and its
results are likely to be of far-reaching
benefit to Hawaiian growers, according
to the report of Frederick G. krauss,
the rice expert of the experiment sta
ton, who himself went to the Orient
to look into cotton and rice growing
there. In The Hawaiian Forester and
Agriculturist for November he writes:
The increasing oriental population in
the Islands c.eates a large demand for
rice, but although the local-grown prod
net is of good quality, it fails to APP
peal to the japanese, who find its fla
vor not acceptable. In order to sup
ply the demand for japanese rice, over
three-quarters of million dollars
worth is imported annually into these
Islands, which large sum is therefore
lost to our growers. Many attempts
have been made to grow rice from
japanese seed. but hitherto that prod
net has been lacking in those quail
ties which make it appeal TO our local
consumers. Attempts of a like nature
carried ion in other countries have also
met with the same lack of success.
The two most desired varieties of
Japanese rice are known as Omachi
and Shimriki, and are grown in the
KiUshiu and Yamaguchi districts, from
whence come most of the japanese la
borers in the Hawaiian Islands. The
securing of select seed rice from these
localities was one of the chief objects
Of the recent undertaking of the Ha-
wall Experiment Station, together with
an investigation of the cultural meth
DDS in operation in the Orient, for, as
IS wen known. the Hawaiian rice fields
have long yielded decreasing crops,
steadily deteriorating in quality.

TOP SOIL ROAD. ATHENS, GA.
tFrom Good Roads Magazine, New York
pose. 1t was observed in Clark county
that where the top soil consisted OF
Il mixture of sand. gravel and clay
the sand and gravel had been drawn
toward the surface and incorporated
with the clay during CIVILIZATIONS
The road is located and graded in
the same manner as for gravel or
macadam. The foundation is then
shaped with road machine and
Slightly crowned in the center. after
which layer of suitable top soil is
spread to a width of about sixteen
feet and Il depth of about ten inches
in the center and three or four inches
at the sides The next step is to open
up the side bitches with a road ma
chine. The earth from the bitches is
thrown up against the bed of top soil
as shoulder
The road machine is then used to
level off the surface and to give it the
proper slope from the center to the
side bitches. The road is now thrown
open to traffic and soon packs down
into a hard, dry surface. If rainy
weather occurs during the spreading
of the material or soon after. so much
the better Wet weather and heavy
traffic assist in the mixing and pud-
ding process. After this process has
continued until the surface soil is thor
Oughly mixed the road is dressed ami
reshaped with n light two horse grader.
This treatment is continued until the
surface is well hardened and all soft
or uneven spots are removed
To GEL the best top soil along any
particular road hand samples are tax,
en- and examined before the work is
begun. Samples Of uniform size are
selected and the percentage of gravel,
sand and clay aSrertaincd by washing
Out the cAy and sitting out the sand.
The sample which appears to have
abou. the right proportion Of sand,
gravel and clay is selected From 10
to p per cent of clay appears to be
sufficient for binding material.
Aside from the grading. these top
soil roads cost from $3.50 to $500 per
mile. The road shown in the photo
graph was SO bad the winter before
it was improved that the traffic was
forced into the adjacent woods and
cotton fields TO avoid the deep rutS
and mudholes Although the road had
just passed through a hard winter and
had been subjected to much heavy
hauling. the photograph shows that
now it is not only free from ruts and
mudholes. hut that it is hard and

How to iron a White Skirt.

To iron white undcrSkirt begin at
the strings and waistband, then take
the bottom of the skirt. Iron all round
on the right side with a very hot iron.
then iron the first fril. This frill will
probably have Sewed work or race.
In either case it must be nicely ironed
on the wrong side Probably above
the frill there will be tucks or hens.
They must next be ironcd over the
wrong side and afterward on the
right Rub the iron the way of the
hem. If there is a second frill the cloth
under the friI is ironed at the same
time as the hem or tucks and the frill
again ironed on the wrong side. Put
skirt board into the skirt and place
each end of the board on the table
thus allowing the skirt to hang over
the board 1t can thus be easily ironed
and nicely finished. Afterward fold it
