    This article discusses the friar lands question in the Philippines during the early American colonial period. After the United States had taken possession of the Philippines at the turn of the century, the colonial government purchased haciendas and parcels of land owned by three religious orders to put an end to agrarian unrest in the Tagalog region. The Friar Lands Act was enacted in 1904 to regulate the procedures of land redistribution by the colonial government to former tenants of these friar lands.
     The colonial government, however, faced difficulty in selling the land to former tenants, because among the friar lands were large uncultivated haciendas in remote areas. After the amendment of the Friar Lands Act in 1908–1909,which abolished the limitation of sales to individuals, the San Jose Estate of more than 22,000 hectares was purchased by American sugar capital. This was a forerunner of the American capital investment in the Philippines which flourished in the 1920s.

    Mangrove, peat swamp forest, and freshwater swamp are the major swamp forests in Southeast Asia. Of these, mangrove has been the most intensively studied because of its peculiar morphology and physiognomy. This forest occurs in coastal areas and large river estuaries throughout the tropics and subtropics. Compared with American and African mangrove, Southeast Asian mangrove is largest in community and individual size. Species diversity is also the greatest in the world in this area, with sixty species of mangrove found here. This paper reviews the references on mangrove in Southeast Asia. The distribution patterns of mangrove vegetation are described and the factors of zonation, ecology, morphological characteristics and utilization are discussed.

    This is a research report of two sago-villages in Kabupaten Luwu, South Sulawesi. Desa Takkalala, a community which formerly produced sago for subsistence, has been undergoing a drastic change in the last 10 to 15 years due to the improvement of the highway system and the consequent inflow of a large number of Bugis migrants, who are industrious planters of cloves and other cash crops. The market price of sago has risen recently, because the newcomers welcomed this crop as a cheap substitute for rice. But some villagers had already converted their sago forest into banana and cocoa gardens. They are hoping to transform the village into a sort of truck-farming village where they can grow more valuable crops than sago. In contrast to Desa Takkalala, Desa Pengkajoang remains a genuine sago-village, where sago is the mainstay of life. Besides sago production, villagers rely heavily on raising buffalo and fish. They believe that this is the best combination for tropical lowland, and argue that sago cultivation can be a commercially sound business if a market is secured.
