India, Siam, IndoChina, Java, China, Japan, and the Philippines are of first importance among the rice-producing countries of the world. Yet some of these do not produce sufficient to feed their own people and are often under the necessity of importing from other countries to make up the deficiency. China, Japan, and the Philippines are in this category and draw theeir neces- sary supply from Siam and Indo-China as a rule.
 The method of cultivation pursued In the Philippines is much the same as in Japan and other Oriental coun- tries. The seed is first planted in beds and when we'll sprouted the shoots are transplanted by hand The land to be planted is divided into plots of one- fourth acre to one acre in extent and these are separated by earthen dykes to retain the water. The soil is ploughed and narrowed with the water on 1t until each little field is a puddle from one to two feet in depth, and while in this state the transplanting Is effected. In from ninety to one hundred days it is ready for harvest. This is done by hand, while fully three-fourths of the rice produced is threshed by using fails or tramping 1t with the feet or having carabao trample it.
 Luzon Center for Mills.
 There are a number of rice mills in operation in various parts of the islands. principally in central Luzon, where most of the surplus crop Is produced, but the general tendency is to continue the use of primitive meth ods. The cost of producing rice is rarely calculated or taken into ac- count. AS 8 rule, occupants pay the owners of the land as rental & stipu- lated quantity of the rice produced for each hectare Gone heotare is equal to 2.471 acres). There can be no doubt that a tremendous saving would be brought about by adopting modern methods. While 1t is true that the la bor employed is comparatively cheap. yet it costs considerably more to pro- duce rice in the Philippines as 1t Is produced today than 1t does to produce it on the plains of Arkansas or in
