Editor Star II Is matter OF interest to
know that the Chinese tea plant Is being Guilt
waited In this country, but 1t certainly cannot
now be considered novelty, seeing that it has
been subject OF governmental aid for the past
quarter OF century. 1t Is well known chat
Tor several years previous to the organization
OF the Department OF Agriculture the tea plant
was extensively introduced by the Patent Off e
authorities, and ever since the above depart
growing tea plants and making annual dlstri-
buttons OF them In regions where they would
flourish. 1t Is also matter OF record that the
department. has from time to time during the
past fifteen years, received samples OF prepared
Tea from the southern states, which have D3en
tested and pronounced OF excellent quality.
Many OF these samples were received from the
same plantation which furnished the teas re-
Gently tested In this ana other cities, and which
are enormously stated as coming from gov
eminent plantation. 1t appears. however, that
the present Commissioned OF Agriculture Is de-
sirouS OF fndiyidualiZlng himself as the intro
Queer OF this Industry, completely Ignoring the
BOW makes avail, and to whose efforts he Is
wholly and entirely Indebted for the ODportuni-
~ OF seeing sample OF so-called American tea.
IL Is not cOmmendable practice for an Off Ger
OF the government to endeavor to make pre-
tentious claim TO whatever OF good has resulted
from the far seeing and carefully wrought out
plans Of his predecessors IN ofi;e, and It Is eS.
the energies OF the present Commissioner of
Agriculture have been mainly directed to the
work Of Qepreciating the actions OF his prede-
cessorS. he evidently soon learned that ft was
much easter to IND fault With the work which
had been accomplished by the department than
to suggest or inaugurate Improvements upon
IL, as his published reports amply certify.
