and to other borrowers 273 millions.  In 1915 co-operative credit associations had advanced 45 millions to farmers and 11 millions to other borrowers.  The paid-up capital of companies, was, in 1913, 1,983 million, of which 27 million was agricultural, and in 1916, 2,434 million, of which 31 million was agricultural.  The reserves were, in 1913, 542 million, of which 1 million was agricultural, and in 1916, 841 million, of which 3 were agricultural. (For some reason or other, “fishing” is included under “agricultural.”  On careful dissection I find that of the 45 million of investments credited to agriculture in 1918, only 28 million are purely agricultural.) The land tax is estimated to yield 73 million yen in 1920-1.  It is 2-1/2 per cent. on residential land, 4.5 per cent. on paddy and cultivated land—­3.2 per cent, in Hokkaido—­and 5.5 per cent. on other land—­4 per cent. in Hokkaido.
