SHANTUNG NOTES
Raising Potatoes In Chowtsun
This winter the weather has been rather müd temperature never going below zero as. It Usually does. There have been severa falls of
which snow rejoiced the hearts of the farmers and give good promise for the spring wheat.
The cultivation and use .of potatoes has made advance in recent years. Formerly It Was necessary to send to Cheloo or Tientsin for that luxury. Now th the Chowtsun district they can be purchased quite' cheaply on the regular market. Chinese use them in considerable quantities. Last year above 500 acres were devoted to raising potatoes in Chowtsun district.
Tobacco has been widely cul tivated in Tsing Chow district. In the Autumn the British Cigarette -Company, were, very busy here purchasing large quantities, some- where over 1,000 tons. The prices -were considerably less than last year's and many of the farmers lost on the harvest this year.
The old Chinese year is being celebrated here with much enthus- lasm in spite of Government pro- hibitions. It is no easy task to. change this age long custom.
The Middle School had its holi- day in the Solar New Year and were to continue all through the old year time. But "the scholars made so streng" and emphatic ap- peal that the Headmaster WELS compelled to yield a three days holiday!

There can be no better testimony to his qualities as an official, and "as a man than the fact that all Chinese who have had the privilege of his friendship, or have come in contact with him regard him as a "kwan-tsz," a term which Legge and other sinologues have translated into a superior
