Cotton And Rice In Fiji

THE Pacific Ocean has been receiving much attention lately in the Baltic nations. As a result of the visit to the Pacific territories last year by Mr. Rosenberg, famous journalist and clever photographer, copiously-illustrated articles describing Papua, New Guinea, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, and many parts of Polynesia have been appearing in the “Familie Journal,” which has an enormous circulation in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

We are in debted to Mr.

W. L. Parham, of Sigatoka, Fiji, for this interesting photo graph of cotton and upland rice, growing on a Fijian native plantation. The young Fijian owners are also shown.

These crops are grown by the natives themselves, on their own land, under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture.
