The details are still in the learning stage, but it can be imagined from the red meat Melon species. Primary balance has been whispered in recent years, and the “G20; Its predecessor is the political system between governments consisting of France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada ≒ G7, 1975” is the only country in Japan that has adopted fiscal discipline. Encourage debt-to-GDP ratio ≒ Government Debt, to profitability. (It’s good if the ratio goes up, it’s important to maintain it.) It’s natural to learn the correct way of thinking, but I would like to talk a little about the economy. Indonesian currency unit. The currency code is “IDR” and the sub-currency is “Sen”; Auxiliary currency unit of Southeast Asian countries”, and 1 rupiah = 100 cents. The name “Rupiah” comes from the Indian currency “Rupee”. Since the latter half of 1997, the economic crisis has occurred due to a shortage of foreign currency, and the exchange rate has fallen to one-sixth in half a year. Floating exchange rate system: Consideration of Treasury and Asian central bank Denominations: Devaluation of currencies, all domestic assets and liabilities. If the number of digits displayed in the currency amount becomes large due to inflation etc., it may hinder economic activities. If the country grows, it is natural that debt will increase, and it can be predicted that the ratio to GDP will increase. It is certain that the ratio will increase from debt.

Kutchan is a kanji; Chinese characters for “倶知安”. Kutchan is named after the Ainu word “Kutchani”. Kusshani is the old name of the Kutosan River, a tributary of the Shiribetsu River. Kushani is “Ku Shan Yi” from the meaning of “a place that flows out of a place like a kudzu”. This Ku Shan Yi becomes Kusshani, and further changes to Kudosani to become the Kutoyama River. On the other hand, the same Kusshani became Kuchan and became a place name, which was announced in 1893. The “kanji” was assigned by Takeshi SHIRANI（He has served as the chief of the geography section of the department, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, the secretary of the Takushoku affairs, the secretary of the internal affairs, the chief of the internal affairs secretary / minister’s secretariat Hokkaido, the director of the shrine of the Ministry of Interior and the chief of the Hokkaido section of the general affairs bureau.）, the counselor of the Hokkaido Agency at that time.

The overlapping of snowflakes represents “contact”, the image of a fluttering bird represents “leap and dynamism”, and the blue symbol color represents “development and hope for the future”. It symbolizes “Kutchan, the town of contact”. It was enacted on July 1, 1991 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the foundation. And this year marks the 130th anniversary. Town Flower: “yellow-flowered rhododendron” – It is an evergreen small shrub that grows naturally in the high mountains of Hokkaido and Tohoku, and has five yellow petals that can be cultivated from July to August. It was selected because it is a representative alpine plant of Mt. Yotei and the Niseko mountain range, and was considered as one of the projects commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the foundation in 1991. Town Tree: Acer pictum Thunb. Subsp. Mono (Maxim.) H. Ohashi, 1993-It is a deciduous tree of the Aceraceae family, and in the fall, seven constricted leaves turn yellow. Selected because it is widely distributed around the town and was used as a material for skis in the early days of skiing. Widely used in parks and roadside trees. It was examined together with Machihana, and was announced and enacted on December 11, 1998. Image character: Jyagata-Kun-The design is for potatoes to ski, with potatoes wearing blue skis and green ski caps. The triangular ski cap is a Sho-chan hat, which was unveiled on August 3, 1991, in the image of Mt.

Located in the western part of Central Hokkaido, almost in the center of the Shiribeshi jurisdiction. Surrounded by the mountains of Mt. Yotei (1,898 m), a national park in the east, and Niseko Annupuri (1,309 m), a national park in the north, it forms a hilly basin with many wavy slopes. The Shiribetsu River (the clearest river in Japan in 2004) flows in the center of the town, and small and medium-sized rivers such as the Konbu River, Nisekoanbetsu River, and Makkari River flow into it. It has an inland climate, with an average temperature of 6.3 degrees Celsius, and the deepest snowfall in winter can reach as high as 200 cm. It is within 120 minutes by private car from Sapporo City and Chitose Airport, and about 90 minutes by private car from Otaru City. Niseko means “a steep cliff” in the Ainu language. Also, “Nupuri” means “mountain” in the Ainu language, and the mountain “Niseko Annupuri” with a ski resort means “mountain with a steep cliff (and a river below it)” in the Ainu language. It seems to be. 1895 Entered Nishitomi, the first immigrant of Town. 1897 Separated from Abuta Village and entered the area of Makkari Village. Even as of 1901, the branch village became independent from the neighboring village, Makkari Village. Named “Katamura” from Makkari Village character Makkari Betsuta, and set up a government office in the current aza-motomachi. The town system was enforced in 1950, and the name was changed to Niseko Town in 1964. 2001 100 years since the opening of Niseko Town. This year marks the 120th anniversary of the milestone. Enforcement of “Niseko Town Town Development Basic Ordinance”. The town was separated from Makkari Village (Currently Rusutsu Village) in November 1901, and the Tocho Office was set up in the current Town district. The pioneer hoe was put down in the present Nishitomi area by the ancestors, and the town developed while confronting many difficulties under the harsh natural conditions. Overview of town history, prehistoric times : Paleolithic and Jomon period ruins are left in the town. The Paleolithic period was the final stage of the ice age, and the straits around Hokkaido were connected to the land, so it is speculated that people moved in search of food. In the Jomon period, the climate approached the current state, and the lifestyle changed from a dynamic life to a sedentary life. By this time, people are thought to have lived in the hills of the Shiribetsu River, and many ruins such as earthenware and arrowheads are left behind. Prehistoric times are revealed in the ruins. However, no records have been found from the Middle Ages (Kamakura, Muromachi period), when the Ainu society and culture were formed, to the latter half of the Edo period, and the actual situation remains unknown. Fascinate. More than 13,000 years ago, when tools were made mainly from stone and used on a daily basis to carry out daily life, pottery was used as a container and had a diverse cultural structure. It refers to the era from 1000 years ago to 2300 years ago. The town is located in the area called “Shiribeshi”, and the name was given by the pioneer ambassador in 1869, adopting the idea of Takeshiro Matsuura. Mr. Takeshiro investigated the basin of the Shiribetsu River twice at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, and considered Mt. It is said that he called “Yotei”. In addition, it is said that the country name of this region was “Shiribeshi”. In the early Edo period, the river flow was strong upstream from the vicinity of Niseko Town, and it seems that there were no Ainu settlements because it was difficult to fish for salmon and trout. However, when I learned that this basin had abundant resources, I came to work during the fishing season. The Japanese clerk is Japan’s first Chokusenshu history book, completed in 720? It is said that when Abe no Hirafu-Ko, who was the national guard of the Hokuriku region, led the Navy to conquer Ezo, he set the rear Yotei as the administrative agency and appointed a county official according to the opinions of the two Ezo. Agricultural work during the pioneering period: In 1894, the land that had been the imperial forest was converted to a national forest. This makes it possible to cultivate. In 1895, a plot was set up, and a hoe for clearing was to be put in. Unlike other areas, the town is characterized by the fact that it has been cultivated by farms invested by capitalists in Honshu and group settlers, and among them, the nationally famous farm is “Arishima Farm”. A farm reclaimed by Takeshi Arishima (Mr. Takeo’s father: Although he was a samurai of the Shimazu clan, he was promoted as a bureaucrat of the Meiji government and retired as the director of the government bond bureau of the Ministry of Finance. Served as an officer. When the State-owned Undeveloped Land Disposal Law was enforced in Hokkaido in 1897, he started a reclamation project on 350 ha of land in Kaributo Village, Hokkaido.) in 1899 after receiving a wage cut on undeveloped land. The farm was taken over by Takero in 1908, but in 1922 he declared the farm open for free and gave the farmland to the peasants free of charge. The peasants organized the “Kaributo Symbiotic Farmers’ Association（Business: Agricultural land sharing, rice cultivation, dairy farming, joint purchase / use of materials / machinery, joint direct sales to the market.）” and managed all of the farm facilities as a shared property. This will continue until the 1949 Act on Special Measures for the Creation of Homegrown Farms comes into force. This act had a great impact on the society at that time.Before the liberation, it was the office of Arishima Farm and the residence of Mr. Takeo Arishima, after the liberation it was the office of Kaributo Kyosei Agricultural Co., Ltd., and after the dissolution, it was the first “Arishima Memorial Hall”, but it was destroyed by fire in 1957. The Arishima Thanksgiving Hall was built in 1963 with the cooperation of former union members and local residents. Around 1897, Kaributo Village (now Niseko Town) was considered to be an undeveloped land in Makkari Village, so all the duties including family register affairs had to go to Makkari Village. Around 1901, the movement of residents who wanted a branch village became active, and the first residents’ convention was held on September 17. On October 16th of the same year, a notification of the branch village was issued from Hokkaido, and the branch village will be approved in a short time. Regarding the revision of the town name, there was a movement in 1936, but as a result, it ended in misfire, and in 1966, the second katakana town “Niseko Town” was born by the second movement. Located in the southern part of Mt. Yotei, which is known as Ezo Fuji, it is a pure farming village that has developed with agriculture as its core industry. The main crops are potatoes, radishes, carrots, etc. Among them, edible lily roots It boasts the largest shipment volume in Japan. It is also well known as the birthplace of enka singer Takashi Hosokawa, and the Makkari River Park, which runs through the village, has a singing “Takashi Hosokawa Memorial Statue” and is said to be a popular tourist spot. The name of the village is derived from the Ainu language “Makkaripet”: a conversion from the river surrounding Mt. Yotei. Rusutsu Village was founded in 1872 when Higashi Honganji opened a new road to Usu district and moved to Sannohe. After passing through branch villages, the current Rusutsu Village was born in 1924. With an area of 119.84 km2, National Highway No. 230 runs from Sapporo to Toyako Onsen in the center of the village. Mt. Yotei rises to the north of the village, and is adjacent to Kimobetsu Town in the northeast, Makkari Village in the northwest, Toyako Town (Former: Toya Village) in the Iburi Subprefecture in the south, and Date City (Former: Otaki Village). At the foot of Mt. Yotei, the village of Rusutsu, a plateau of green and white snow, is an endless village of happiness, thanks to the hard work of its ancestors and the blessings of abundant nature, who endured the harsh wind and snow and broke the foundation of their hometown. Established a charter in hopes of its development. Rusutsu: Mr. Takeshiro Matsuura, a Japanese man who passed through the village more than 140 years ago. The footsteps are described in the “Backward Yotei Diary” (diary on February 2, 1952). “Go to Horonutsuf (Shino) Nutsukehetsu (Genya Kitakawa to Akota territory Hen) Yutoenka (Hara) Rusochi (Miscellaneous trees), It reaches Sorioi (at the foot of Yudake) . ” (“Takishiro Ezo Diary Collection No. 2” Japanese Classic Complete Works Publishing Association) Rusutsu in the text is said to be the origin of the name of Rusutsu today. One of the first people to settle in the village, Kazaemon Abe, moved to the village with Kuninari Date in April 1871 as a clan of the Sendai domain, and in 1872 he handled the station in Kimobetsu. He is said to be the first person to settle in village on record. Large farm management: In 1888, Bunzo Hashiguchi entered Rusutsu Village and moved to the United States at the age of 22 to study agriculture. He aimed to manage a large American farm and dreamed of a model farm by importing all the machinery from San Francisco. Abandoned the business due to labor shortage and inconvenient transportation, and in 1892 Yasuaki Kato took over the farm with Mr. Bunzo’s dream. Mr. Bunzo and Yasuaki Kato could not realize the concept of large farm management, but they left a big mark on Rusutsu agriculture and were the first to put a hoe in the village. In 1891, the predecessor of National Highway No. 230 started construction on the road from “Abuta” to Sapporo via Toya, Rusutsu, Nakayama Pass, and Jozankei, and was completed in 1895. This road played a major role in agricultural development at the foot of Mt. Yotei. The JA Yotei jurisdiction is located in the central and southern part of the Shiribeshi branch office jurisdiction in southwestern Hokkaido. In this position, there is the Conide-type independent peak “Mt. Yotei”, which is the symbol of this JA, and the countryside spreads around it, and you can see “Mt. Yotei”, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, from each area. The climate is generally warm and sunny from spring to summer, but in winter it is affected by the northwest monsoon, and there is a lot of snowfall, with heavy snowfall extending from mid-November to mid-April, especially in the foothills of Yotei. , It is one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Hokkaido. In local agriculture, a wide range of production such as rice farming, upland farming, vegetables, and livestock farming is carried out, and various management forms suitable for climate, soil, and climate conditions are formed. The Yotei Agricultural Cooperative is located in the southwestern part of the foot of Mt. Yotei in the Shiribeshi jurisdiction and consists of 9 towns and villages. It was established in March 1997 as a merged agricultural cooperative of 8JA. The head office is located in Kutchan Town, and there is “Mt. Yotei” in the center of the area, and the agricultural land spreads around it. Among agricultural productions, Jingle bells were designated as a vegetable production area as the “Mt. Yotei” area in 1974, and as a result of vigorous production promotion since then, they are now the main production area for edible horse bells in Hokkaido. It has been highly evaluated. Jingle bell, which accounts for one-third of the sales business, boasts a planted area of 3,500 ha and a collection volume of about 80,000 tons, and is a major pillar of JA. After the merger of JA, the “Yotei Agricultural Cooperative Edible Horse Bell Production Organization Liaison Council” (about 900 producers) was established in March 1997 to unify the production union activities inherited from the former agricultural cooperative. Toward the early establishment of the “Yotei brand”, we have been actively engaged in business with the aim of achieving high quality leveling, standardization and production promotion. Cultivation workshops, quality standards, acceptance handling standards, consumer area market research, etc. meet more than 20 times a year and consist of tireless efforts. Raw edible horse bells at the foot of Mt. Yotei are famous all over the country for their good taste, and even after the merger of JA, we focused on early shipment before the August bon, and long-term leveling by early shipment, the largest raw edible horse bell in Hokkaido. We have built a planned shipping system of 80,000 tons. It is sought after as a “Reliable Production Area” from mass retailers such as Keihanshin and Kanto. The producer proved that the crops were cultivated and harvested safely by observing the standards stated in the cultivation calendar such as daily control and fertilization by the efforts of all the members of the production history book, and in JA, before shipping. It is said that it is working to create a production area that is trusted by consumers by voluntarily conducting residual inspections of pesticides. In addition, a compost intensive treatment facility and a compost house have been developed to effectively utilize organic resources in the area and to build a function to circulate them. For that purpose, we will analyze the soil and compost components of the fields that require compost input, promote the systematization of compost input based on the soil diagnosis fertilizer application design, and promote sustainable circulation as a production base for edible horse bells. We are promoting type farming. The harvest of the early-maturing variety “Toya potato” has reached its final stage, and the harvest of the advanced cultivation “Danshaku potato”, which began in early August, has reached its peak, and 5,000 to 15,000 cases per day are shipped to prefectures. Mikado Kyowa : Under the Lima Gran Group, Kyowa Seedling Co., Ltd. and Mikado Breeding Farm Co., Ltd. merged in 2007 and started as “Mikado Kyowa Co., Ltd.” Hokkaido Branch: Kita 3-jo, Chuo Word, Sapporo City, Hokkaido: Onodai, Midori Word, Chiba City, Chiba. Rupiah Red Melon was announced in 1990 from the mating of (IK × Andes) × Earls, and is known as a popular red meat net melon that is easy to make. It is a middle leaf with medium internodes and a little strong grass. Female flower settling and fruit set are stable and good. The fruit is a regular sphere inside and outside 1500 g, the skin color is grayish green, the net is dense and evenly expressed, and it rises a little. The flesh is dark orange and thick, and the lenticel green flesh is slightly thin. It is hard to become hollow fruit and seeds do not flow. The sugar content is high and stable at 16 degrees inside and outside, the meat quality is rich in melting quality, and the taste is good. 53 days after flowering, it matures properly inside and outside, and 3 to 7 days after harvest is the best time to eat, which is a delicious time. It is hard to vine, has good female flower settling and fruit set, and is easy to cultivate. In addition, it is resistant to Fusarium oxysporuｍ (race 0,2) and is resistant to powdery mildew. The optimum temperature for germination is around 27 ° C, and after germination, the seedlings are transplanted to a seedling raising pot and gradually acclimatized to low temperatures. The standard amount of fertilizer applied is nitrogen 8-10 kg / 10 a, phosphoric acid 15-20 kg / 10 a, K 10-12 kg / 10 a. It is advisable to add enough good quality compost so that the fertilizer effect will last for a long time. Beds should be prepared early, mulched and tunneled, and warm enough. Plant after the soil temperature can be secured at 16 ℃ or higher. No special cultivation technique such as “steaming” is required. Throughout the growing season, the maximum temperature is 28 ° C, the eve temperature (temperature until 12:00 pm) is 12 ° C, and the minimum temperature is 10 ° C. From around the mating period until the net is completed, I would like to aim for a temperature of 15 ° C the night before. When the outside air is cold, pay attention to the ventilation volume and wind direction so that the outside air does not come into direct contact with the crops, and devise ways such as making the film in the tunnel inside the house half-open to make it a tsuitate. Irrigation should be done around the time when the resulting branches are aligned, after confirming fruit set and during the horizontal net development period, and irrigation should be modest from about 10 days before the harvest time. The number of days from flowering to harvest is about 55 days, depending on the cultivation season and grass vigor, and it seems that harvesting may take 60 days in the low temperature period and 50 days in the high temperature period. Discoloration of the fruit stem, change in skin color, result: Soil deficiency of the first leaf of the branch, cracks in the fallen cork, thin nets between the nets, etc. It is good to judge and judge the harvest. A popular red meat melon that is easy to make, has a high sugar content, and has a nostalgic scent. The flesh is soft, the mouthfeel is mellow and juicy. Although the net (stitch pattern on the skin surface), which is a marker of sweetness, has a high density, it is famous as a variety whose sweetness tends to decrease because it is vulnerable to a hot and humid environment. “Yotei Melon” from Niseko Town was shipped for the first time on June 16, 2021, cutting the top of the agricultural cooperative jurisdiction. Blessed with good weather from March to April, it is a little larger than usual and is said to have great sweetness. The producer brought 12 cases of red meat “Rupiah Red” (8 kg per case) to the warehouse of the Niseko branch of the agricultural cooperative. The sugar content is 17.4 to 17.5 degrees, and it seems that it was shipped to the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. The long-awaited season for consumers has arrived. The author has just been accompanied the other day. The family was very pleased with the exceptional taste. In addition to melons, it is a large production area where many tastes of Hokkaido such as asparagus, tomatoes, carrots, burdock, dioscorea opposita, and potatoes are harvested.
