The "Seoul Press" states that according to a report, issued by the Seoul Chamber of Commerce the prospect of the rice crop in Korea for this year is very good, it being considered that it will be as good as that obtained in 1918, when a record yield was gathered.
Especially hopeful is said to be the condition in Kyongki, Whanghai and North Choongchong Provinees. South Choongchong North and South Chonla Provinces are also expected to give a good yield, while in North and South Kyongsang and Kangwon Provinces the condition of rice cultivation is by no means bad.
