TAILIEUCHUNG - RICE CULTURE IN THE ORIENT

The basal food crop of the people of China, Korea and Japan is rice, and the mean consumption in Japan, for the five years ending 1906, per capita and per annum, was 302 pounds. Of Japan's 175,428 square miles she devoted, in 1906, 12,856 to the rice crop. Her average yield of water rice on 12,534 square miles exceeded 33 bushels per acre, and the dry land rice averaged 18 bushels per acre on 321 square miles. In the Hokkaido, as far north as northern Illinois, Japan harvested 1,780,000 bushels of water rice from 53,000 acres. In Szechwan province, China,. | RICE CULTURE IN THE ORIENT The basal food crop of the people of China Korea and Japan is rice and the mean consumption in Japan for the five years ending 1906 per capita and per annum was 302 pounds. Of Japan s 175 428 square miles she devoted in 1906 12 856 to the rice crop. Her average yield of water rice on 12 534 square miles exceeded 33 bushels per acre and the dry land rice averaged 18 bushels per acre on 321 square miles. In the Hokkaido as far north as northern Illinois Japan harvested 1 780 000 bushels of water rice from 53 000 acres. In Szechwan province China Consul-General Hosie places the yield of water rice on the plains land at 44 bushels per acre and that of the dry land rice at 22 bushels. Data given us in China show an average yield of 42 bushels of water rice per acre while the average yield of wheat was 25 bushels per acre the normal yield in Japan being about 17 bushels. If the rice eaten per capita in China proper and Korea is equal to that in Japan the annual consumption for the three nations using the round number 300 pounds per capita per annum would be Population. Consumption. China 410 000 000 61 500 000 tons Korea 12 000 000 1 800 000 tons Japan 53 000 000 7 950 000 tons Total 475 000 000 71 250 000 tons If the ratio of irrigated to dry land rice in Korea and China proper is the same as that in Japan and if the mean yield of rice per acre in these countries were forty bushels for the water rice and twenty bushels for the dry land rice the acreage required to give this production would be Area.
