CONSUL NUMANO S ADDRESS
TO OREGON FRUITGROWERS
. '1 One of tha Zaost Interesting ad
dresses made before the Oregon
fruitgrowers convention this after
noon was ttat of T. Numano, ua-
perlal Japanese consul In this city,
' Mr. Numano, who by Ids long serv-
lce as a diplomat In Europe and the
United States, is particularly well
informed concerning the political
and trade relations of Japan and
America, took for his topic "The
' Brilliant Prospects for Trade With
the Far East," saying:
Mr. Chairman and Gsntleman It af
fords me a great plsasur to hare this
opportunity of speaking- before the large
asssmblage of representative members
ot the Northwest rroltgrowers asso
ciation. It is the purpose of my present
address briefly ..to describe Japan's
economic development in recent years,
and to give a short account of the im
mense natural resources In the outlying
territories ot Japan and also In Korea.
Manchuria and North China, and lastly
to account for the hopefulness of the
trade with the far east, especially with

Into a manufacturing country and the

The Island of Formosa, which was
added to the territories of Japan since
1895, has a population of about 1.000,000
and extremely productive soil. Although
the natural resources of the island are
not yet fully developed, It Is already
notea ror tne large proaucuon or sugar,
tea, camphor, timber and other tropical
Jiroducta. The trade of Formosa with
o reign countries, including Japan prop
er, exceeds $30,609,000 even now, and
is aaatined to grow faster than ever,
Talks of Korea,
Korea, ever which Japan's protector
ate was) established a couple of years
ago, has an area as large as the state
of Idaho and Its population la estimated
at 10,000.000. - The climate is compara
tively mild In the southern portion of
the peninsula, hut In the northern parts
It Is very severe, as In Siberia. Korea
Is decidedly an agricultural country, her
principal products being oereaia There
Is a vast tract of rich farming land
throughout the country. Although Ko
reans are generally primitive and eon
servatlve farmers, they have neverthe
less been able to produce grain to a
considerable amount every year. The
f nnoipai orops are rice, millet, beans,
ute. hemp, cotton, tobacco, wheat, bar
ley and ginseng. Of this last product
