,„ Koh priority on cl9riculture Farms on commune basis
China strives for self sufficiency
By J. A, MacDDNALD
The principal of Centralia's
College of Agricultural
Technology, Jim MacDonald
recently returned _from, a trip to
China as a member of an Ontario
government mission,
In the following article he gives
some of his impressions of the
country.
In March I was privileged to
participate in an Ontario Trade
Mission to Peking in the People's
Republic of China, The mission
provided mean opportunity to
.* travel in China and then to
continue on to the Phillipines,
Taiwan, Korea, Japan and
Honolulu. The mission included
representatives of different
Ontario industries who met with

By Appointment
Chinese trading officials to
familiarize them with Ontario
industry and products and to
investigate future trade
possibilities, Earlier in 1971 the
Chinese had indicated an, interest
in specific Canadian com-
modities and this mission in-
cluded appropriate represen-
tatives. In recent years China has
indicated an interest in ex-
paneling her animal agriculture
and my responsibility was to
exchange technical information
and provide information on
Canadian livestock production
and management systems,
China recognizes Canada as
one of her close friends — this
friendship dates back to the
contribution made to China by
Dr. Norman Bethune in the field
of medicine. In the years 1937 to
1939 Dr. Bethune, a native of
Gravenhurst, Ontario, trained
medical technicians and treated
hundreds of wounded Chinese
soldiers during the Sino Japanese
war, Memorials have been
erected and the "Bethune"
building in Canton tells of the
many heroic deeds performed by
Bethune,
The Chinese policy is to make
their country as self sufficient as
possible. Imports are restricted
to domestic products that are in
short supply and to other high
priority items required in their
development and expansion
plans. They rely on export ear-
nings to pay for imports and
hence China carries no foreign
debts. Canada is China's sixth
most important trading partner
and in 1971 total trade to China
exceeded $200 million. In turn,
however, Canada imported
approximately $20 million of
goods from China. Wheat ac-
counts for most of the Canadian
exports received in China,
Since the revolution in 1949
China has placed a high priority
on improving agricultural
production in an attempt to
achieve self sufficiency in food
production. With less than 10 per
cent of her land arable and with a
population of over 800 million
people a quarter of the world's
population — it is doubtful if they
can achieve complete self suf-
ficiency but their improvement in
recent years is dramatic. This
has been accomplished by im-
proved land, water, and fertility
management.
A gigantic land levelling
program has produced huge
tracts of level farm land in the
areas we visited, around sPekinge
This program is still in progress
and new areas are being
prepared for agricultural
production. This has been a
colossal task and practically all
of the improvements have been
made by hand labour. The land
levelling program has provided
them with a more effective water
control system — this combined
with increased use of chemical
fertilizers and good production
practices has resulted in con-
siderably higher yields of feed
and food crops.
The farms in China are
organized on the large commune
basis. The commune I visited
comprised 9,000 acres of land and
included extensive livestock,
poultry, fish, and fruit en-
terprises, The livestock operation
included 2,200 head of Holstein
cows, a breeding herd of 500 sows
as well as a large broiler and
Peking duck enterprise. In ad-
dition to supporting the 3,600
households and the 29,000 people
associated with this commune,
the workers have an annual
commitment to produce
required quotas of meat, milk,
fish and fruit for the State,
Although several tractors are
used on this commune — many of
them two wheeled hand operated,
most of the field work is per-
formed manually. Over 80 per
cent of China's 800 million people
live in the rural areas and
although much of their land
would adapt to mechanization it

During one hectic session
around the Jet net early in the
third period when the Comets had
the pressure on, goalie Lorne
Daer lost his stick and one glove.
His mates were able to clear the
puck away and with the help of
Barry Baynham and Dick
Doughty was able to get all his
equipment back,
The Jets were without forwards
Bill White, Pete Loveless and
Steve Storey for the final game.
All were out with injuries.
Talking about the final series
with Napanee, manager Don
Urbshott commented, "I don't
think we were consistent enough.
We played good hockey for
awhile and then if we letdown for
a couple of minutes, they scored
goals."
Urbshott continued, "If a club
is playing real well, letdowns
won't hurt you."
Questioned about the lack of
stiff competition during the year,
the manager replied, "I don't
think the lack of stiffer games
hurt ifs toceniuch. Although, if the.
competition 'would have been a
little, teughes, during the season
some of our faults would have
shown up quicker and we could
have corrected them."
The Jets were unable to find a
suitable league to play in during
the season and had to settle for
exhibition games.
is difficult to imagine an in-
dustrial expansion that would
provide enough employment for
the peasants should they
mechanize their agriculture, We
had an opportunity to visit
primary and middle schoolS at
the commune where 8,000
students attended. Also located
on this commune was a hospital

summer home consisting once
again of magnificently designed
buildings set in a beautiful
garden on the edge of Kunming
Lake. Over the centuries the
Summer Palace has on occasions
been damaged by invading forces
— but it has been restored and is
now a beautiful location for the
Chinese people to visit and enjoy.
Much has been written about
the Great Wall of China — in fact
it has been said that it is the only
man made structure on earth
that could be seen by telescope
from the moon, The Great Wall is
built in an extremely moun-
tainous area in the northern
provinces and extends over 6,000
kilometers in a winding
haphazard manner. The wall is at
least 20 feet high and on the top
approximately 16 feet wide. The
wall was built over 2,000 years
ago by forced labour — it was
built in parts by the different
provincial rulers and was later
joined to form the one continuous
wall.
The tombs of 13 Ming emperors
are located in a natural am-
phitheatre formed by a backdrop
of mountains, The entrance to the
tomb areas is guarded by large
carved figures of many animals

Underground Palace of the. Ming
Emperor Wan Li, who ruled from
1573 to 1629. The tomb consisted
of huge marble lined halls and
rooms that provided burial space
for the emperor, his many
treasures, his wives and his
concubines.
The Chinese are excellent hosts
and have an established
reputation for their excellent
cuisine. The menus of the many
luncheons and dinners we at-
tended generally included a
range of fish, pork, poultry —
often the Peking Duck — and
vegetable dishes. Provided also
were the traditional dishes of rice
and different kinds of soup.
Normally dessert included a
variety of fresh fruit, After our
eight day visit in China I must
say that I became quite proficient
with chop sticks. Considerable
publicity was given to mao tai by
the Nixon party on their return
from Peking. Mao tai is a clear
liquor (130 proof) made from
sorghum and it is used in the
many toasts that are proposed
throughout the seven and eight
course meals. We were en-
tertained on two occasions at the
world famous Peking Duck
restaurant and in the dining room
at the Peking hotel.
Although the meals we were
served contained a great variety
of food this is not generally the
case in China. Fresh pork is
perhaps one of the main sources
of animal protein but the diet of
the people generally is restricted
to rice and bean curd — a protein
drink made from soybeans. The
combination of these foods is
nevertheless very nutritious and
in our travel in China we saw no
evidence of starvation or
malnutrition because of the
apparent adequate supply of
these protein and energy foods.
Although their system of
government may have its faults it
has achieved one important thing
— a general distribution of the
country's wealth among the
masses of its population and has
provided adequate clothing and
food for the people.
