Results of Survey Number of farmers co-operating, 264; Average age of farm operators, 40 years; Average size of farm, 138 C tinctions and were of the same kind which aroused the world's horror at the time of the Nanking massacre in 1937, The Japanese actions, he said, ap- parently would pot bear independent investigation as permission was refus- ed for a representative of the Red Cross to go there.
