(The comparable return for 1918 was 493,845.) It has been suggested
that these official statistics are incomplete; 7,000 as the number of
Japanese in Russian territory seems low. Even during the War, in 1917,
passports were issued to 62,000 Japanese going abroad. Of these,
according to the _Japan Year-book_, 23,000 were made out for Siberia.
Professor Shiga has stated that "no small number" of Japanese leave
their country as stowaways.

RISE IN PRODUCTION PER "TAN" OF PADDY [LXXV]. The 3 or 4 _koku_ is
reached in favourable circumstances only. The average is far below
this, but it rises, as shown in Appendix XV.

Between 1887 and 1915 the area under barley and wheat rose from
1,591,000 _cho_ to 1,812,000 _cho_
