This is a photograph of the Ifugao igorrot rice terraces, which are among
he most remarkable of their kind in the world They are one of the many
marvelous s:g L i c fr, r i).,, tourist io see in the Philippine Islands and are to be j
found in the Tfugap district of the Mountain province, Northern Luzon.
The height of tlie.se terraces, which ire held up by stone walls, is from 4
o 18 feel, avei tig us 8 feet high, It is estimated there are 12,121 miles of i
elglit-fo.ot stone walls in the Ifugao terraces, which is approximately half j
lie distance around the world.
These terraces are skillfully irrigated by water brought in troughs along .'

fertile land than Japan—this in spite
of the fact that the population of the
