Land Consolidation and Animal Introduction for Utilization of Waste Land of Paddy Fields in Steep Sloping Area

通过调查，明确了土地整理面积的选择方法和陡坡区水田废弃地的利用方法。为了说明引进牛、鹿、绵羊、山羊等动物利用水田荒地的前景，进行了实地调查。研究结果表明：1)在坡度较大的地区，总荒地难以完全利用为水田；有必要将山地总面积划分为适于水田和周转的区域，以生产其他农产品。2)在废牧场中饲养奶牛通常有三种效果；a)使用电动割草机进行除草工作，减少了繁重的劳动，从而改善了视野。b)动物生产具有保护环境的作用。c)保护有害鸟兽的后代。其他动物的饲养也有影响，如a)和b)。3)在鹿场观察到围场中鹿的过度拥挤。有必要记住，在围场中饲养准确数量的动物对于适当的管理是重要的。鹿的过度拥挤可能是由于缺乏屠宰，这阻碍了农产品的流通。改善肉类等农产品的整体流通是显而易见的。4)畜牧业对面积的要求很大，目前的养殖场面积还不能满足这一要求。棕化荒地需要农业合作组织和地方政府的参与。

We investigated to clarify the method of selection of land consolidation area and the method for utilization of waste land of paddy field in steep sloping area. To illustrate the prospect of introducing of animals like cow, deer, sheep, goat etc.for utilization of waste land of paddy field, the field investigation was performed. The results are summarized as follows :1) In steep sloping area, it is difficult to complete utilization of total waste land as paddy field. It is necessary to separate the total mountainous area as suitable for paddy field and turnover to area for producing other farm products.2) The rearing of cow in the waste pastureland usually has three effects ;a) Reduce of heavy labor by using power grass cutter needs for weeding work and consequently improve the sight view.b) Animal production has the effect for environment conservation.c) Protect the outgrowth of hazardous birds and beasts.The effect of rearing of other animals also found like number a) and b).3) The over crowding of deer in the paddock was observed in the deer farm. It is necessary to remember the rearing of exact number of animalss in a paddock is important for proper management. The over crowding of deer is probably due to lack of slaughter and which prevent the circulation of farm products. It is obvious to improve the overall circulation of farm products like meat.4) The animal farming requires a large amount of area and the present status of farm area is not fulfillling the exact requirement. The involvement of agricultural co-operative organization and local administration is necessary for browning the wasteland.
