served 10y picking, and in Europe forms
an important article Of food for the peo-
pie. The wood Of the olive. especially
the root part, 10 beautifully clouded and
veined, has an agreeable odor, and is sus-
ceptiblc of the highest polish. Valuable
lubricating and illuminating oils are also
produced from the fruit, aud an inferior
product enters largely into the manufac-
ture Of fine soaps.
The cultivation OF the olive has several
times been attempted in this country,
and hardy specimens now exist in Cali
fornia and South Carolina. Although no
one seems ever to have carried the mat.

an industry which is of so much value
to France, Italy, and various countries in
the East should not thrive in America.
No traveller in Eastern lands, nor reader
of books of Eastern travel, needs to be
told how important place in the ORR

classes, is that held by the date and fig.

Mr.. Jones has collected information
from our foreign representatives and 9TH
ers abroad, and his papers give all that
can be learned regarding the soils and
climates most favorable to these trees,
as we'll as the best methods of cultivation
and preparation of the fruit for the mar
ket. The papers will form part of the
next annual report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture. Mr.. Jones believes that
both the fig aud the date may be cult
