Now, let us look at the figures which give us the true state of Japan in this mat- ter. Of a total area of 160,474 miles, little more than one-tenth is under cul- tivation and five-eighths of that tenth is under rice, say 6,789,120 acres. There (Per E, E, A. & O. Telegraph Co's Line.) is thus an enormous waste of land in Japan, 144,423 miles of uncultivated land. Rice is the most profitable and easy cultivation of all grains, and there is no doubt much of the waste land is
