SAPANEsh PROGRESS IN W0OLEN GOODS
HOW CHINA WILL GAIN By THE
PROPOSED NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ssh
FIcATIoN OF SOILS.
Corresp pondence ofthe Baltimore sun.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2, 1882.
japan has made great progress In max
Ing woollen goods. It's cloth is equal TO
best import. TIE government can now
clo.he its armies with native cloth at
great saving, and soon the country will
buy no mole from foreigners. Japanese
papers notice that Mongolians ara not
named 10 our interdlction, the word Chi
Dese being used exclusively. Their idea
is that China will be the gamer. Al
ready she Is inangurating . system OF
railways which will give employment at
home to the class that now seeks 1t In
America. Wheat culture is being ex-
tended and nourer mills introduced, to
make them Independent OF California,
and textile factories are already success
fully working. Mining is being developed
under competent engineers. Ship build
ing is telLR expanded, and q beginning
is made In agricultural implements.
Shoes aud all kincs If clothing they can
make in China, and supply their Callfor-
MIA customers at round profits. Cotton
Of course, they eau grow. Cbinamen
here who mouopolize 30 many trades are
OF the lowest uuskilled laborers. Yet af-
ter two lessons they get the hang If every
American machine and become delicate
ly-6Dgered expsrts in manufacturing.
But II an implement gets cut OF order
they cannot rt City 1t. The Japan papers
say "Lhis We eau remedy" The Japan
ese, like the Yankees, are created with
invention on the brain. They can dupli-
cate and improve inventiveiy our incest
patents.
Under patronage of the Immiera ion
Association and with the corporation
Of the AgriCul ural and Horticultural
Societl 8, q useful work of classification
Is being iRAugurated. All soils aud all
localities are not alike adapted to all
fiults. There are zones specially suited
TO epples, others respectively to peacht s,
prnnes, nectarines, almonds and olives.
Figs, apricots and pluDs grow almost
everyW here, and cherries in very few
localitits. II is so with grares. One
hillside is peculiar for sherry wines,
another for port and claret, aDOther for
TaislI s, &C., while in sight, and often on
adjoining land, facing differ sDtly, two
entirely different adaptlons exist. Men
Of means, having no guide, occasionly
report failures. These are usually
traceable to non-adaptlon to the pArtic-
ular culture they fabeied. In no State
is there more need If classification into
districts { t fitting production. Remem-
her, our State is 700 by 200 miles, with
numerous div.s OF in regard to rainfall
and drCu! !ht, artesian water, early fruit,
&C., &c maritime and mountain n valleys
timber belts, &c. 1t would treble i'm
migration and production If the State
would issue an authoratlve guidebook
Of this kind.
Tie tarO is a wild lily with edible
roots OF large size. 1t has been the chief
food Gfthe natives of Sandwich Islands.
1t is rich In farina when baked. 1t
grows In patches here and there. Com
plants are made 10 the government that
the Cinnamon are destroying every
patch and planting bananas, which sell
for export. The lara (aIumes cullen
tum) will grow In Florida, and doubt
less would rival the root (cassava) from
which Philadelphia Is extracting glu-
cose.
Wbila wheat sel's at 81 60 per GENITAL
at San francisco corn aud rye and oats
are sold at the ssme 6gure, and barley
brings 81 80. Ships never were more
plenty, at 50 sblllings to Europe. Wheat
Is unusually abundant, and so are the
merchaDtships on the way to this port
for grain.
From the Sandwich Islands we learn
that SpreOkle's cane-sugar mill produced
right along in 1881 thirty tons of raw
sugar daIly-equal to nearly IL 900 tons
for the year. Now he has two like mills
ready and another neariy so, 80 that he
expects to make this year 100 tons a day.
This will all come to America to be re-
fined. In the raw state it is exemptfrom
cuty. We have only one beet sugarIe In
California. 1t Is not affected by this free
importation.
The entire press from north to south
and from eat to west, 700 by 200 miles,
proclalms assumed crops OF gr s., ii
grain, of fruit and of all growing thingn.
Not q corner seems excepted, at d thank
full aspirations ascend from our graceful
hearts.
Does the temperature increase by reg
ulAr graduation from the iurface to the

scientific men descended Id one OF the
