20, 3 Wells, Agcaoili, and Feliciano: Philippine Rice 861 
SUMMARY 
1. The scientific control of fertilizers, cultural methods, irri- 
gation, etc., are very important factors in improving the yield 
and the quality of rice; the simple expedient of allowing the 
rice a longer time in which to mature will undoubtedly be ben- 
eficial. 
2. Philippine rice compares very favorably with rice grown 
in the United States. 
3. Improvement in quality should be directed to increasing 
the percentage of protein and carbohydrate contents.
