134 Q Continued from page 64j stones placed one upon the other. Before the farmsteads, women might be seen threshing out grain by grasping the sheathes and beating them over a stone rollcr placed in the center of a small clearing where the clay had been beaten down smooth and allowed to bake in the sun. More often two or three women would be swinging their wooden flails rhythmi- cally in turn as they beat upon a pile of straw. Primitive methods? Yes, but what impressed me most was the stupendous amount of human labor. And yet as I sat watching from that car window, I found growing within me a tremendous respect for this great land and its people. As an agriculturalist I was witnessing methods and practices which these oldest of the world's farmers had been led to adopt through the experience of many centuries of sternest necessity. I could see not a square foot of land that was not being put to some intensive use. China--where there are more miles of canals than there are miles of railroad in the United States, enough in fact to stretch forty times across our great land from north to south and sixty times from east to west. China-whose rice fields equal in area our wheat lands, whose annual rice crop is nearly three times our wheat output, and still these same rice fields produce at least one and sometimes two other crops each year. China-the land where one is never for a single moment out of sight of a human being, living or deadg Where seven out of every eight people are toiling in the soil in the desperate effort to keep soul and body togetherg where human labor is the cheapest commodity to be found. A As I tl1ought of this, is it any small wonder that I felt a longing to be out among them-to help in the great work of unbending the backs of these toilers in the soil, to lift their eyes from the dirt of the struggle for existence. that they may stand erect and look out with clear-seeing eyes upon a new world of knowledge and their brother-men--and, perhaps, may even look up and see thc stars?
