The increasing ratio of the burning cultivator in the beginning of Syowa era when we are convinced in the sure statistics, shows 16%. It is high above the increasing ratio of the population in Korea, 6%. That shows the increase by the immigrants.
Why have these burning cultivator, in such an age being modernized as present, appeared, breaking the strict prohibition in the mountain regions of northern Korea where natural circumstances are quite severe?
As the trial of the explanation for it, I pursuited the relation between the population and the land. With the governess of colony by Japan which is firstly directed with the increasing rice-plan, the disorganization of Korean village has rapidly been promoted. For example, in the Chunando in 1930, the tenant-houses against the whole farmers has reached 89%, and the tenant-land against the whole cultivated land shows 69%, in adition the goods farm rate which equals to 50% of the whole products has also promoted the trival devision of land and poverty. The rapid increase of the burning cultivator shows the result that the part of farmers who left their farmer, above mentioned, lived in the mountain regions so as not to be deprived of their products from the whole areas of Korea.
The general principle does not true of Korea that the population move from the region of the lower living standard to that of the higher, and the remove opposite to the above is done only as a ruler. The living standard of the burning cultivators is lower than that of the plain-farmers. Only freedom permitted there it not to be deprived of their products.
