the Bean milling is in most cases conducted mostly as a 
domestic by-industry to fill the local needs (Hankow being 
excepted). Therefore, the consumptions are not at all 
large. Of about 2,000,000 “‘koku” of Manchurian Beans 
exported to Shanghai and South China, what is used for 
milling purposes is only of very small quantity, the major 
remainder serving as material for preparing divers kinds of 
food, .

Java has been importing Manchurian Beans in recent 
years to the amount of 500,000-600,000 ‘‘koku’’ a year. 
Java being in the Tropics is unsuited to Bean cultivation, 
but on the higher levels in the mountainous or hilly districts, 
the temperature is more temperate, better suited to Bean 
raising. However, Beans are of poor quality and are more- 
over put out only in a limited amount, the total production 
being 800,000 “‘koku’ or so without prospect of future 
increase. How Manchurian Beans came to be in request 
in Java district originated from their import from Chefoo 
and Tientsin by the old Chinese setilers in the Island. By 
and by, the natives got acquainted with them until they 
have become one of the food stuffs of cheap price and for 
daily consumption.
