Rice was of paramount importance in yield per acre, but it required optimum conditions of soil and drainage and, moreover, a considerable amount of intensive labor. The seed was planted in small beds, and later the seedlings were transplanted by hand to the carefully prepared paddy fields. [Okinawa: History of an Island People, Kerr, 1958] |
