- By 1807,37,926 kyol ofland, or 2.6 percent of the total registered land in the nation
belonged to this category. Ibid., p. 1508-10.
- These figures for average acreage corresponded more or less to the least two fer-
tile categories of kyril since the areas of the six grades of one kyol in the early Choson
dynasty were 2.25, 2.65, 3.21,3.786,5.63, and 9.01 acres. The survey conducted by the
Japanese in 1901 reported that the average size of a kyol varied by province, reflecting
the greater fertility of land in the south where double-cropping of wet rice agriculture
was more productive than the greater dry-field farming ofthe north. Ibid., pp. 1492, 1495.
