This volume is a valuable addition to the agricultural litera- 

 ture of the Far East. 



The people of the Occident, save a few travelers who chanced 

 to witness and study eastern agricultural activities, have little 

 appreciation of the methods used by the people of the Orient in 

 developing agricultural resources. 



It has been commonly said that the nations of the West have 

 much to teach their sisters in the East in the several lines of 

 human activities, and vice versa, as far as they are concerned 

 in the struggle for life. This being true. Professor King's book 

 affords eloquent data and straightforward argument in support 

 of what the Western people are lacking in agricultural develop- 

 ment. This book is a valuable contribution to the universal 

 endeavor toward improving the agriculture of the world as the 

 backbone of wealth of mankind. 



So far as the agriculture of these Islands is concerned, I 

 unhesitatingly bespeak the acquisition of Professor King's book 

 by all those who are truly devoted to farming. It will furnish 

 them an opportune idea of the agricultural expansion of the 

 inhabitants of the neighboring countries, thus enabling them to 

 acquire lessons in connection with the betterment of the prod- 

 uction of our staple crops, especially rice. 



In my opinion the book should be translated into Spanish — 

 the language commonly spoken among our farmers — in order 

 to encourage its reading by the farmer.
