LEARN ECONOMY OF CHINESE
Twelve Persons, Two Pigs, Donkey
and Cow Live Well on Two and
One-Half Acres.

Not long ago the land Office at
Washington, as well as the department
of the interior, the department of ag-
riculture and the head Of the irriga-
alton service received stormy letters of
protest from everybody under the La
guna dam because some people feared
the farm unit of the Yuma project
was to be placed at 20 acres. When
Professor Forbes of the University of
Arizona contended that 20 acres would
make a big living for from five to
seven people the farmers there were
loud in their content tons that such a
thing was impossible. In China, DR..
F. H. King of the State University Of
Wisconsin, found IL persons, two pigs,
a donkey and a COW living very we'll
from the production of two and one
half acres.
The economy of the Chinese in the
treatment Of their land is amazing,
says the Los Angeles Times. AL
though they have abundant rainfall
they take no chances of anything less
than perfectly dependable irrigation
system. The whole arabic surface Of
farm lands in Japan, China and Korea
Is made into shallow and level basins
which are irrigated by an infallible
system. No matter how much rain
falls they can always turn on the wa
ter from their streams at any hour of
the day or night in any season. Thus
no crop ever receives its needed water
supply an hour later than such need
is perceived
