different crops are common sights, the
soil being fortified and handled in
such a as to bring results in
every month of the year.
One peasant who obtained some over.
flowed land turned what in this coun-
try would be waste ground to profit.
Converting the marshy overflow into
ponds, he bred and raised snapping
turtles, which IN Japan are considered
as much Of a delicacy as diamond back

Tokyo and Yokohama markets by the

In May on June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk in
shallow water, and In August the tiny
shells begin TO appear on them. The
stones remain for two months, but
since the young oysters cannot endure
