Wheat will be the major product to be cultivated as there is an acute shortage of this plant in Manchuria. It is hoped naў in 1941, the year when the whole of the land will be under operation, 160,000 tons of wheat can be harvested. Barley, oats, soya beans and maize will be planted in rotation and their cultivation will be limited to the quantity which will not bring about exhaustion of the soil Much of the soya bean crop will be used as fertilizer.
Eight tractors will form the mechanized power forthe farms. Most of these will be Diesels, to be purchased from Germany. In addition each farm will have 300 horses and 200 cows, either of which can, if necessary, be used for tilling the soil. The greater part of other farm equipment needed for these farms will be bought from the United States, though Japan will supply some.
