Professor P. M. Roxby
(From North Regional)

The crops of China abound. Rice, wheat, beans, millet, potatoes, peanuts, cotton, and the opium poppy; apples, peas, plums, walnuts, strawberries; and the jujube; green, black, and brick tea; pineapple, cinnamon cassia and ginger. Cultivation is intense; two acres support five persons, against two in England. The soil is the most ungrateful in the world, but forty centuries of experience, multiple cropping, the use of every possible manure, incessant de-forestation, all help the Chinese in their struggle for subsistence. Mass education aids the spread of scientific agriculture and cooperative village banks yearly.
Professor Roxby's account of the peasant farmers, Chinese agriculture, and the conditions of rural life is absorbing.
