CHINESE FARMERS
FORCE Big YIELDS
Square Mile Supports 3,072
Persons and More Than q
Thousand Animals.

Statistical totals are not to be had
be made on accessible data secured by
competent experta
In Shantung province there are farm
ers Of 2.5 acres Of cultivation who main
tain thereon families Of twelve each. and
stock of one donkey and one COW used
for work only. and two pigs. This
density per square mile figures out 3,072
people, 256 donkeys. 256 cattle and 512
pigs-all maintained on a single square
nile of soil.
The remarkable results of the skill
of Chinese farmers follows the methods
they use. They select rice and the
millets as the great staples Of their food
crops and secure three crops a year.
At Tientsn latitude of Cincinnati)
farmer follows his crop Of wheat by
crop Of onions. and his crop OF onions
by third of cabbage. Or he plants
Irish potatoes first, digs them when
small, following with radishes, and
thirdly by cabbage.
The rice acreage of China totals about
the same as the wheat acreage Of the
United States The annual produce OF
China's rice crop Is about three times
our total wheat crop. Yet China's rice
area Is used to produce two other addi-
tional crops per year. Clover may fol-
low the rice harvesting. to be turned
under or to be stacked for later use
For hundreds of years Chinese farmers
have used legumes in crop rotation.
1t Is very common to see three crops
growing in the same field at one and
the same time-each in a different stage
of maturity. With heavy fertilization
and irrigation as needed. the soil is
used to the utmost during the grow
ing season.
On a single acre during thirty to fifty
days a Chinese farmer may prepare for
transplanting enough plants to occupy
ten acres, at the same time using the
other nine to grow a crop of rice. The
plants composing the second crop OF the
entire ten acres did their growing when
small, all on the one acre. when the
nine acres were growtss the rice crop.

Wages Lag but Little.

Contrasting with the rs per cent. in
crease In the cost Of food is the 1855
per cent increase in wages up to Sep
tember 1918. The Year Book points out,
however. that since perhaps much less
than half OF the householders wages are
expended for food. the discrepancy be-
tween the two figures is not as large
as would appear upon first thought.
Continuing its comment, the Year Book
says:
THE increase in wages, however, does
not adequately represent the increase in
earnings. Enllstments In the imperial
forces and the demand for labor for
war work have so affected the labor
market that employment is much more
regular than previously, while a con-
siderable amount OF overtime is being
worked In various industries. This has
undoubtedly had the effect OF increasing
earnings to greater extent than that
shown by the wages rates Another
influence which has benefited certain
classes OF workers has been the drawing
into skilled or semi-skilled employment
of men who were previously working
at lower paid trades, and, in fact, the
general scarcity demand for labor has
tended toward raising wage rates them
selves above those fixed by awards of
the courts"
The total estimated population of the
Dominion OF New Zealand at the be-
ginning OF 1918 was 1.1e0, 245. Of which
62,b73 were native Maoris and residents
OF the Cook and other Pacific islands
annexed in 1901. OF the total number
569,S45 were males and 10000 females.
New Zealand and It's possessions have
a total area OF 103,s61 square miles. The
Dominion consists Of three main islands,
with several groups OF smaller Islands
lying at some distance frota the prin-
oipal group. The main islands, known
as the North, the South and Stewart
islands, have n coast line 1890 miles in
length. Other Islands included within
the Dominion are the Chatham. Auck-
land, Campbell, Shares, Anttpodes,
Bounty and Kermadec islands, and the
Cook group and certain neighboring in
sular areas.
While the Dominion Is known as the
Switzerland of the Antipodes, and has
all the characteristics OF a mountainous
country, II possesses large tracts OF val
liable agricultural lands, is rich min
orally. and has many Industrial poten-
tialities.
II Is a self-governing Dominion. with
a Governor-General appointed by the
British crown and a Parliament elected
by the people.
