Not everyone in the United States owns land for a garden．Yet gardening is a popular activity for them，too．They may also grow flowers in containers on a balcony（阳台）high above the street or grow herbs in little boxes in a window． They may also join a community（社会团体）garden．Usually，the local（当地的）government owns the land where the community garden is planted．It could be next to an apartment（公寓） building or in a park．The land is divided into small gardens．In this way， more people get the chance to grow things，even if they do not own land of their own．

During the last Spring Festival 2，000 boxes of American oranges were shipped to Shanghai and sold out within two hours． Though no exact figures are available to show how seriously Chinese agriculture is affected by the WTO，the extent of the hardship imposed can be judged from Henan，where there is a grain reserve of 30 million tons—double its storage capacity．

Lin Zuoji，a researcher at the Henan Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences， has described the effect of the WTO on Chinese agriculture as instant．He said that in the past a large amount of Henan's grain was sold to coastal areas，but as soon as China entered the WTO，enterprises in coastal areas began to import grain directly from abroad．It has been pointed out in the foreign media that China's 900 million farmers will be the most affected by the country's entry into the WTO．

To extricate Chinese farmers from this difficult situation，some large agricultural provinces，including Henan，have started to encourage farmers to grow high-quality wheat and to help them adjust their farming structure．The Yantai municipal government in Shandong Province has for the past four years invested over 50 million Yuan each year into new breed research and development．

Mr．Li says that for the time being the Agricultural Agreement permits the operation of“yellow boxes”and“green boxes”policies in China，which provides breathing space for the development of Chinese agriculture． During the Fifth Session of the Ninth National People's Congress，Premier Zhu Rongji stressed the need to increase farmers' incomes，and the Chinese Government has wasted no time in strengthening its measures to reduce the burden on farmers and lead them out of their current difficulties．
