which runs from the south into the heart of the
country is of sufficient extent to support twenty
or thirty million people. Here, where com-
munication from town to town and from the
interior to the sea-coast is easy, progress has
always been rapid. And the fertility of the
soil is such that crops of millet, wheat, barley,
beans, rice, hemp, etc., scarcely to be equalled
elsewhere, are grown. Food is, therefore,
abundant and cheap, and there is ample sur-
plus production for export.

As a result of this abundance, man and beast
are well fed, and with the neighbouring pas-
ture-lands of Mongolia to serve as a breeding
ground, and with a plentiful supply of grain
always at hand in the agricultural districts, the
domestic animals are numerous. The inhabi-
tant of Manchuria need never want for sheep
or cattle for slaughter, oxen or ponies for his
plough, or mules and donkeys for his carts.
Agricultural operations are, therefore, easily
carried on, the produce is with little expense
transported to market, and the means of
proceeding from one district to another are
readily available. In all these respects de-
velopment is greatly favoured.
