The War was followed by a severe financial crisis. Professor Nasu wrote to me during the summer of 1921: Where exact statements of area and yield are necessary, as in the study of the intense agriculture of Japan, local measures are preferable to our equivalents in awkward fractions. Further, the measures used in this book are easily remembered, and no serious study of Japanese agriculture on the spot is possible without remembering them. While, however, Japanese currency, weights and measures have been uniformly used, equivalents have been supplied at every place in the book where their omission might be reasonably considered to interfere with easy reading. The following tables are restricted to currency, weights and measures mentioned in the book. MONEY LONG Ri are converted into miles by being multiplied by 2.44. SQUARE An acre is about 4 tan 10 bu or 1,200 bu or tsubo . The size of rooms is reckoned by the number of mats, which are ordinarily 6 shaku in length and 3 shaku in breadth. CAPACITY A koku of imported rice is, however, 330-1/2 lbs. The following koku must also be noted: ordinary barley, 231 lbs.; naked barley 301.1 lbs.; wheat 288.7 lbs.; proso millet, 247.9 lbs.; foxtail millet, 280.9 lbs.; barnyard millet, 165.2 lbs.; brickaheat, 247.9 lbs.; maize, 289.2 lbs.; soya beans, 286.5 lbs.; azuki beans, 319.9 lbs.; horse beans, 266.6 lbs.; peas, 306.5 lbs. Rice is not bagged but baled, and a bale is 4 t? or 1 hy?. Add to tbrJar First Page Next Page Prev Page |
