MAIN POINTS When interviewed concerning some of the main points in the plan and how it will be carried out, Dr. Linmade the following statement:
TECHNICAL PART
The technical part of the plan, involving an expenditure of $30,- 600,000 for the three years, which is to come out of the Provincial Treasury, Dr. Lin explained, was drawn up by three technical bureaux of the Provincial Govern-. ment, namely, the Bureap of Agriculture and Forestry, the Land, Bureau and the Bureau of Con- servancy. It is highly technical, but it may be roughly divided in- to three sections:---
1 An irrigation and drainage plan of increasing the yield of zice for 2,600,000 mow of land,
2. A reclamation plan for colonis ing and developing at least 500,000 mow or unnsed agricultural land in the Houwen district, fak
