It is appropriate that agrleuj- ture should be the topic for the opening talk of the series. China Is fundamentally an agricultural country. Yet, in spite of the fact that agriculture is her main basic industry, and in spite of the fact that tillers of the soil. were held in high esteem in the Classics, agriculture in China to- day is one of her most backward industries. Moreover, farmora have not in recent years received ANY the standing and encouragement HATAVIA that they should.
