General Report Of The Deputation Sent By The American Board To China In 1907 PDF Download

Excerpt from General Report of the Deputation Sent by the American Board to China in 1907 The resources of China are enormous. When it is remembered that until within a little more than a generation this country was practically sealed against all the rest of the world, it will be seen that from time immemorial the land has produced the food of its vast population and has supplied material for their clothing. Even now the importation of food stuffs and raw materials is but slight. The methods of agriculture are still of the most primitive sort. Yet its great plains are highly productive and in the south two crops of rice and sometimes a third crop of some other product are produced each year. With improved methods of agriculture undoubtedly the products of the soil might be enormously increased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
