LESSON FROM JAPAN AND CHINA
VALUE OF CONSERVATIVE
FARMING.
Professor F. H. King of Madison,
Wisconsin in writing on soil cultiva
tion In the far East in Farm and Fire
.le makes these interesting com
ments: It could not fail to be a matter
of the highest industrial, educational
and social importance to all nations,
were lit possible to bring to them a
full and accurate, account of all those
conditions and practices which have
made it possible for such dense popu
lations to be maintained so largely
upon the products of Chinese, Korean
and Japanese soils. Many of the
steps, phases and practices through
which this evolution has passed; are
Irrevocably buried In the past, but
such remarkable maintenance effic
iency atta'ned' centuries ago and pro
jected into the past with little ap
parent decadence, merits the most
profound sttMy and the time Is fully
ripe whan It should be made.
With our population increasing at
the rate of nearly a million a year
during the last half century It la
clear that we can hardly learn too
son or too thoroughly our probable
l:inlt if roil and crop product'on,
anul f.h best methods of insuring and
maintaining It. Probably nothing can
give a safer measure) of the mainten
ance capacity of the farm and farm-
era of a nation than the number of
people they feed per unit area of cul
tivated field and it Is doubtful Uf
there is a better place to study this
problem than in China and Japan
at the present time. -.'
