Rice Cultivation. Principal among the various questions brought up for discus- alon at the meeting was an offer received from Mr. J. M. da Rocha, proprietor of the firm of Messrs. J. A da Rocha and Co., importers and exporters.
The offer was fully set out in a letter to the hon. English Secretary in which Mr. da Kocha in part said:
"The members of your Com- mittee are probably aware that my firm is largely interested in the export trade of rice from Hongkong. From what I can gather, rice cultivation in the New Territories has not yet as- sumed such proportions as would allow of any appreciable quan- tity for export after providing 'for the needs of the peasants in the hinterland of Hongkong, Still, one cannot tell what the encouragement given by the forthcoming Agricultural Show may bring about in the future arid I am hoping that some day Hongkong-grown rice will figure appreciably in the export statis- ties of longkong.”
With Mr. Rocha many will wish that his hope might be realised if not in the near, yet in the remote, future. Mr. Rocha submitted to the Committee the offer of the 13 first prizes for the Rice Section of the exhibits. His second offer is
stationed there.
On Saturday, concerts were

More important than the actual distribution of the fertilizers was a practical demonstration of the increased productivity of the soil when proper treated with Chilean nitrate, so explained Senor Pena- fiel to the large number of Chinese district representatives, present at the meeting. To this end Senor Penafiel with apply to "Lady Ho Sien and a Chinese gentleman (to to present a sufficient number of Tung for a small patch of ground be nominated by Mr. J.

Penafiel offered to teach any Chin ese farmer in the New Territories willing to learn the use of nitrates for improving the soil. His nat- ural fertilizers in the cultivation of vegetables are especially bene ficial.
The only condition imposed by the donor is that mention be made that the first prizes for the Rice Section are presented by the firm of Messrs. J. M. da Rocha and Co. Needless to say, after discussion, the Committee unanimously agreed to accept the generous offer.
