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

通过调查，明确了陡坡地区土地整理用地的选择方法和稻田的荒地利用方法。为了说明引进牛、鹿、绵羊、山羊等动物利用稻田荒地的前景，进行了实地调查。主要研究结果如下：1)在陡坡地区，荒地作为水田很难完全利用。2)在荒草地上饲养奶牛通常有三个作用：a)使用电动割草机减少除草工作所需的繁重劳动，从而改善景观；b)动物生产具有保护环境的作用；c)保护危险鸟类和动物的生长。饲养其他动物的效果也如a)和b)。3)鹿场观察到围场鹿过于拥挤。记住在围场里饲养动物的确切数量对于正确的管理是很重要的。鹿的过度拥挤可能是由于缺乏屠宰，阻碍了农产品的流通。肉类等农产品整体流通改善明显。4)畜牧业占地面积大，目前养殖场面积现状还不能完全满足要求。要使荒地褐化，必须有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.
