OPIUM CULTURE IN SIBERIA
Poppy Is Grown by Chinese on Land
That Is Leased From
Peasants.

a bill to prohibit opium poppy
growing in the Russian far east has
been introduced in the duma and in
formation on the industry is being
collected, says Vladivostok dispatch
to the New York Sun.
Poppy culture was introduced into
the Ussuri district by Chinese before
this region became Russian territory.
In 1907 the Russian consul at Che
foo reported the export Of opium
from the Maritime province to China
as 1928 pounds and in later years
shipments have increased.
Climatic conditions in the Ussuri
district are favorable to poppy grow
ing and three varieties are cultivated
"a white poppy with white seeds
and capsules; a poppy with blue and
gray seeds and open copsules. The
aforementioned variety is grown
for opium production and the two
others for oil.
Poppy culture is entirely in the
hands of the Chinese, who pay high
rents to the peasant land owners,
this freeing them from the necessity
Of working, which has injurious re-
suits. Although poppy culture ex-
hausts the soil, the Chinese use the
land after the poppy harvest for
raising vegetables, and in this way
entirely spoil the fields in short
time. Poppy culture also hurts api-
culture, the productiveness Of the
hive falling off rs per cent.
Since the employment Of yellow
labor on government works was re-
stricted in 1910 a large number OF
Chinese have gone to the villages
and the interior to raise peoples, and
the area under cultivation in the
coast region has risen from SIG
acres in 1910 to $3.50 acres in 1912
The rental an acre has also increased
from 1915 to $38.15, to which must
be added the cost Of guarding the
lands from the hunghuses or bandits,
who are attracted to the opium re-
gions. The high rents paid induce
the Russian owners to lease the best
Of their lands for poppy growing and
the area under grain is thereby be-
ing decreased.

 Loftus went out to meet the Rube one afternoon and said to. the south paw. Come on, Eddie, sign this," and presented the contract.
 But, Tom," said Rube, "I can get q lot more."
