Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 5.--The first
week of the year on the Curb Exchange
closed with the upward movement still
in progress. Outstanding among the
issues selected for leadership were the
shares of prominent public utilities and
airplane companies.
East States Power Glass B; American
Super power, Glass B, and Empire
Power all reached new high records.
Sikorsky Aviation and North American
Aviation went into new high ground,
and the demand kept on for Niles
Bement Pond and Universal Aviation.
Niles Bement Pond was Influenced by
the prospect of increased earnings from
one of its subsidiaries engaged IN the
MAI .ufacture of airplanes, while Univer-
sal Aviation had the attraction of valu-
able air transportation lines.
Interest centered in the initial trad

Buying for control was the rumor
incident with the continued price APP

Ltd, the English subsidiary, continued
active, opening on a block of 10000

already, in consequence Of Japan's
highly intelligent and progressive policy,
showing signs of holding their own
against the rains. Since the annexa-
tion-a word which heard used several
times today by high officials of the gov
titled in using 1t myself--some 2,700, 900
trees have been set out on these hills.
The afforestation work is progressing
at the rate Of 5000 hectares planted en-
nually by the government and 10000 by
the people, under q system OF subsidy
and cost-price sale of young trees. Then
in addition to these $4,000 hectares
planted in trees, the government is an
nually terracing 5000 hectares for food
prevention, making total of $1,000
hectares that each year are being pre-
pared against erosion.
River Beds Deepening.
Floods have visibly decreased, 1t is
said, since afforestation work started.
In the course of few years the river
beds, which were steadily filling up
with sand and gravel under the infiu-
ence of the floods, are deepening. Some
say that the rains are increasing. This
I question. doubt If there are yet EVIL
dent any changes in the meteorological
conditions of Chosen. But in SO more
years, If this policy is continued, this
now semi-arid land may be as well wa
tered as Japan, In consequence OF the
presence of the forests that are now
being planted and cultivated.
In the earlier times the forests were
common property, not owned by any
body in particular. Enormous areas OF
the land of Chosen were thus exposed
to depredations. Trees were slaugh-
tered, as for some decades they have
been in the United States, with no af-
forestation whatever. Now no man may
cut a tree, even on his own land, with
out the consent Of the government, and
whenever he cuts tree he must plant
another to replace 1t.
Yesterday at several places noticed
numbers Of poplars, tall, slim, sickly-
looking trees, standing in short rows
along the sides of the roads, which in
the main are little more than paths be-
tween fields. These trees seemed to be
having a hard time. After noting them
for a time I asked the reason for their
slimness and general appearance Of dis
couragement and was told that they
were planted by the farmers and kept
for fuel, but are not cut down, being
only trimmed of their lower branches
for fagots. Later ] saw a man with a

at least that seemed to be the purpose.
Sand and gravel was being scooped up
from the lower to higher level and
spread out on the bank or levee. Five
or six men stood on the top OF the en-
bankment and hauled at rope TO which
a long scoop or trough OF metal was
fastened. Some men below started 1t
at the right angle and then the men
above pulled 1t up with load OF mate
rial, perhaps a couple Of bushels at a
time, and deposited It on the top. About
10 men constituted the gang.

All this labor is perhaps profitable in

Pile. have noted in the annual report
of the governor general of Chosen for
1926-27, a copy of which reached me in
Toxic, that of the 19,103,900 popula-
ton in this country at the end of 1925,
15,5l3,418 were engaged in agriculture,
or 81 per cent. 1t is the policy Of the
government to provide other employ
ment for the people, If possible. And at
the same time the administration is
trying to lessen the labors of the people
engaged In farming, teaching them bet
ter methods and training the young
people in farm science, as at a large
agricultural school near Keijo. But
this is slow work, for the people are re-
luctant to learn and 10 adopt new meth
DDS. There is much superstition In this
attitude and it may take a generation
at least before improved methods can be
established in the land.
Cooperation among the farmers is
evident in the rice fields. Lone lines
of people, men and women, are en-
gagged in planting the tender shoots
taken from the starting beds, as many
as 20 in a row across one paddy, with
a man standing at the end of the line
as marker, watching operations. These
are the people of single neighbor-
hood, or perhaps a village, going about
from field to field and transplanting
for one another. This planting must
be done at a certain time, and quickly,
to take advantage of the most favorable
conditions.
Soil erosion through floods has de-
stroved much of the value Of the land
of Chosen. Countless millions of tons
of dirt have been washed down from
the hills, covering the fertile fields I'M

out many years Of preparation and fer

dure has been checked. The hills are

these people are doing their work in the
simplest and at the same time the most
laborious manner. They are following
almost precisely the agricultural meth
DDS Of their forbears Of many centuries
ago. There may be here and there a
new facility as an appurtenance, as a
steel share on a pillow, while the pillow
beam and handles are of rude bent
sticks, but the tillsge of the soil is as
it was long before the world at large
knew there was such place as Chosen.
Down below the car window in one
glimpse I saw two men engaged in sift-
ing barley. One held the seive, crude
affair, and the other poured into 1t from
a shovel small quantities of grain. Then
the first man shook the sieve while the
second man waited. As long as could
see them, while the train rounded a
curve, they we're thus engaged in a slow,
tedious process that one man could
have done as well.
A little farther along, out in field,
were two men engaged in singing water
up from a field well or pool to higher
level for distribution to the rice pad

man process in my preceding letter.
These two men held two strands of

Locust trees, or acacias as they are
called here, are abundant, being grown
for two purposes. It has been found
that the leaves, dried in Autumn and
kept for Winter use, make good feed
for chickens when wetted. And also it
is known that these leaves are useful
for the fertilization Of the rice fields.
In Japan the birds are a nuisance to
the farmers, who 60 to all extents save
to the point of slaughter to drive them
away from the fields. Scarecrows Of a
most ingenious style, startlingly human
in appearance in some cases, do their
bit to this end. Here in Chosen I have

tering rags or swinging branches hang
over the fields for protection. The Ko-
