In the Introduction, the author notes: ?The United States as yet a nation of but few people widely scattered over a broad virgin land with more than twenty acres to the support of every man, woman and child, while the people whose practices are to be considered are toiling in fields tilled more than three thousand years and who have scarcely more than two acres per capita, more than one-half of which is uncultivable land.? Researchers and scholars in the fields of human geography, regional studies and earth sciences, as well as social and economic history will welcome this landmark study being returned to printing. 606 $aAgriculture$zChina 606 $aAgriculture$zKorea 606 $aAgriculture$zJapan 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aAgriculture 676 $a630.951 700 $aKing$b F.
