LETTERS OF A MISSIONARY


China is an agricultural nation and
I think that Agricultural. Missions
would be one of the most fruitful
ways OF getting in contact with the
people who form the backbone of
.hls nation. Most OF the schools
that we have. fine and worthwhile
as they are, are situated in the
cities and appeal only to the scholar
class who form only very small
per cent OF the population.
The first corn | saw ] wanted to
buy some TO pop this winter; it~was
so small took 1t for popcorn.
Next fall | want some one 10 send
me a few ears of nice seed corn.
/ want to see these people open their
eyes wide. then l want to see II II
will grow American seeds in gener-
al do not do well here. The Chinese
have no idea at all of how to select
seed or improve their crops In any
way. The Chinese use more cotton
than any other people. Only small
per cent of the population can af-
ford to wear silks. In winter their
clothing is wadded with cotton just
like our bed covers, for they have
no fires in their houses. But the
Chinese cotton is the poorest cotton
in the world. The agricultural de-
partment of Nanking University has
ten experiment stations around
Nanking. They have been able to
raise q far larger yield and better
quality. This attracted much atten-
tion. In several small towns they
are asking that a church be estab-
lished, but there are not enough
workers. A young man who has a
little education feels that he dis
graces himself and family If he does
any kind of manual labor. The
| Chinese teachers say 1t is best to run
the school straight through the
summer, for the farmers are very
busy and would not want their stu
dent sons at home then. They make
great sacrifice to send one relative
to school as a great honor to the
family, then after they are dead
they can be worshiped by a man OF
high social standing, thus gaining
great prestige in the spirit world.
If he should work on the farm he
would lose his social standing and
all their sacrifices would be in vain.
When they become Christians they
do not at once get the attitude to-
ward work that we have. 1t surely
is slow and painful process to
break up and change the customs of
centuries.
The problems are many and diff
cult beyond words. II seems to me
now that the greatest is the un-
christian conduct of the people of
Christian nations.
Not all the Chinese are standing
anxiously waiting for some one to
teach them to be Christians The
Kingdom has to advance in the face
of powerful opposition, but this is
not so strong as in times past.
While some things look hard and
discouraging, many things look
bright and promising. The home

The women of the imperial city OF

their brothers and husbands. They
used to shave their chlns and smear
unguents over them. II appears, how
ever, that the men Of Rome did not
favor this feminine eccentricity, for
Cicero mentions law that was passed
to prevent women raising boards.

acres. This movement originated In
Louisiana, the clubs organized being
the first of their kind in the world.

RAPID DESTRUCTION
OF FOREST GROWTH

The necessity for forest preserve
tion in the South was graphically
shown by figures read at the recent
Forestry Congress at Jackson, Miss
The figures were extracted from the
Capper report, and attract attention
sharply to the need OF legislation on
the subject OF the forests. The origf-
nal pine forests of the southern Appa-
lachian and southeastern States, with
the exception Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and West Virginia, covered from 1885,
600, 900 TO O,000,O00 acres and had q
stand Of timber Of about 65e,000. .G0O,.
900 feet. At the present time the
stand Of merchantable pine in this
territory is estimated at about 2SS. .00O.-
100000 feet, Of which 81 per cent 10
old timber, the rest of second growth.
