AMERICAN TEA-Mr. Smith, whose operations with

Americana aad who has planted his sprouts in South Car
DINA, expects to raise good tea in this country He est

to be eleven millions Of pounds; in Europe, y-total
sxty-one millions. China produces over nine hundred
millions of pounds, OF which the Chinese export only
about seventy millions. An of land will produce
SIT pounds; consequently the cultivation of 2o,lO0
acres of land in the fourteen tea growing States will sup.

Europe, would require 81 All Of land. He sup
poses that there fourteen OF States that would
grow tea and that IL $50 OF land cultivated
plantations, averaging 1865 for each of the fourteen
States, will supply the consumption OF the article both
for Europe and the United States The experiment Mr.
Smith engaged in is highly interesting one, and will
be attended with vast benefits to the country if complete
