NOTHING WASTED BY CHINESE
FloWery kingdon's Farmers Even Uti-
iize the Prolific Weeds for Fer
tilizer and Fuel.

Nothing goes TO waste on the Chi
nese farm-not even the weeds. Ac-
cOrding to the farmers ideas, there
are good weeds and bad weeds, states
a writer. The good weeds are put
into compost heaps and return fertili-
zatiOn to the soil. The coarse weeds
with woody stems which will not cas-
lily rot are cut down and allowed to
dry until the son of the family has
time to rake them up for use as winter
fuel.
Nowhere as in China do the dead
rob the living. Millions of graves are
scattered over the fields, their loca-
ton directed by the complicated rules
Of feng shut. In some sections of the
country more than One-sixth of the til
liable area is covered with graves of
estimable but now useless ancestors,
and sometimes when young man
falls heir to a farm he finds that it is
a farm full Of graves, and his biggest
crop is a crop of duty to dead and
half-forgOtten ancestors.
Chinese women didn't wait for the
outbreak Uf war to put on trousers
and volunteer for work in the fields.
They have been wearing trousers for
many centuries and for many more
they have been helping the beans and
potatoes to do their bit for their
country. The Chinese sages have had
a great deal to say about the inferior
ity of woman, but when it comes to
digging in the fields the Chinese wom-
an is equal to any man.
