M. Tower, Jeweler The first installment of an in teresting letter from Dr. J. Vin ton Scott, formerly a well known dentist of St. Johns. Owing to its length and the shortness of our space it will bo published in installments: Shanghai, China. Sept. 29th. 1920-Dear Mother: I will try and tell you something of our trip up North, altho I am quite sure I cannot finish it for this mail. It wan the morning of the 16th of September we left our home at coven o'clock in rickshas for the station. We ar rived in time to check our trunk. I attended to that whilo Frances and Janet went abonrd the train. The first class coaches arc built differently hero than in the states. From Shanghai to Nanking we rode in a day coach. The coach is made up of a number of tooms. each one seating eight persons. Ihcro is an aisle running along the aide of the car with doors opening into each room. Well, Tory for tunately wo had a room to our selves which made it very picas ant. As wo pulled out of Shang hai wo passed through dirty lit tle villages filled with dirty peo ple: all, however, seemed to en- 1 mil i .1 joy ineir nun. rrom mere vrc passed into tho country whoro farmers were busy harrostinsr their crops, which at this time of tho year consists of wheat, their rico having been already taken in. Tho wheat is handled differ ently hero than at home. When they plant it they first son it very thickly in fcrtilo beds and meantime tho farmers plow thoir and with water buffaloes and crudely mado ploughs. They then overflow tho land by pump ing water on it cither with tho buffaloes or by foot power. Af ter tho land it covered Bonio few inches or even a foot by water they plough it again and nguin, then harrow, then go over it and with their feet mash all the hard lumps until the whole field is mass of thin mud. You must remember tho Chinese farmers do not farm on a largo Rcnle like farmers in tho States do. Each farmer has from one to three or four mow of land which in the States would at the most caua about an aero of land. This land has a two foot wall around it. This wall acts as a division line, a wall to hold in tho water and also a foot path. Now the wheat or rice has grown to the height of about six inches and the far mcr takes it up and resets it in long rows: two rows very close togather, then a spaco of about eighteen inches. This ii not done, however, until tho water has receded enough to allow it to bo done. When this is done tho farmer pumps wutcr on the land and plows it and weeds it the name as ono -would corn. I have scan farmers plowing the ground, preparing it for the young sprouts in as much as two feet of water. At this time as wo passed through tho country wo could see farmers with their wivors and children cutting the wheat with hand sickles tho same as people did four thou sand years ago. This they stacked and later took it to the threshing floor. Ono thrcshintr floor usually did for a compound. Thero ate several ways thoy thresh. Somo beat out the whoat with a flail: others set up a large wooden grate, then takojip a bundle of wheat and beat out the wheat on this. But if there is a largo crop then it is spread over the thresh ing floor, which in made of dirt beaten hard. Then tho farmer hitches a buffalo to a largo utono roller and ho walks around with this roller until tho wheat is shelled. Tho wheat is swept i up, the chalT fanned out and put' in bags. Tho Btrnw is used for, different purposes, such as feed for stock, thatched roofs, etc. " He has no barn to put his straw in, so he stacks it up nicely then plasters it over with a good thick coat of mud and chaff. The sun bakes it and makes a nice roof for tho com ing rains. The stubble from the field is carefully gathered and used for fuel. To be continued. ! Rose Temple No. 43.
