Tea Culture in Japan.

The war in the East has tended to in
crease public interest in anything that re-
lates TO Japan, and for this reason recent
report by United States Consul Abercrom-
bic upon tea culture is specially timely.
He reports that in his province
tea is cultivated as follows: On inclined
ground, the tea is planted in burrows, but
on level ground, the plants are grown
separately. The space between each row
is about l-2 feet. On the hillside, 1t Is
planted in rows, but on the plain, near
houses, circularly. After the first and
second leaves are picked, the branches are
cut with shears. The object in cutting IS
mostly to make the plant round or semi
circular. Formerly the plant was cut down
nearly to the ground every three years.
The ground is cultivated three or four
times in the spring, summer and autumn.
The grasses are cut and manure app led
twice year-in spring and in autumn For
manure night soil, green weeds, accumn-
Lated SOIL cakes and fish are used. These
manures are used only for plants near peo-
pies residences; for those on the hillsides.
weddings are performed twice a year-in

leaves Washington in order to avoid the
protests and opportunities of the discharged

The season for gathering first tea buds O
leaves begins On the 1st or % of May, bu
in some localities first, leaves are gathered
about the goth of May. Second buds OF
leaves are generally allowed to grow, up-
less the market price is very high or the fri
leaves gathered are found much less tb'n
usual. In the vicinity of Omurs SUI
Htrado, however, they gather both fri anu
second leaves. In picking leaves w VIC
best tea, three tender leaves sr p''Aeu
together; for the middle and lo'ei ILLNESSES
of tea, We leaves are picked . once ana
for the lowest, all the yong leaves are
gathered.
For pickiny leaves. wopen are usually
employed. The avers@ quah''y Oh the

to 10 catties day, ard her wages are from
4 to sen for nickiog 6 IA catties. For

the wages Der IA catties are to l-2

pounds, audthat a sen is trife less than

The manufacture of the tea is conducted
along With the picking, and was formerly
,nducted in two ways, viz: By drying
in 90 iron pan or in the sun; then drying
inpiper utensils was introduced, and more
recently, drying in bamboo baskets came
into vogue. The method of drying in the
iron pan is still extensively used. For
black tea, the Indian
method was formerly used, but at present
the Chinese method is adopted. For sort
ing tea leaves, heated in paper utensils,
round ard square sieves are used,
and for rolling utensils either case
or bag is used. The hours of labor are
from A. M. till z. M. The daily pro-
duct per day per man is as follows: With
the iron pan about 80 catties; with the pa
per utensil, about 20 catties; with the bam-
boo basket, abont IS catties. The women
are employed only at steaming the tea
leaves, and are paid only half the rate paid
men. When the manufacturing season ar
rives, the workmen are hired daily, the fam
lilies helping each other. In Onlura, con-
tracts are made beforehand by advancing
money about January or February.
For renting tea field, the landlord lends
to his tenants without fixing the term, it
being customary to rent the fields after the
tea is planted The rent standard is rice,
at the rate of one ard one-half to two
bushels per one-fourth of an acre for the
first three or four years after planting.
Wheat and beans are sometimes used in
place of rice. The rent is somewhat in
creased from the fifth year. In lieu of
rent, the landlord sometimes takes half of
the crop.

Concerning Cotton.

Herodotus about $50 years B. G. first
notices cotton as trees, bearing as their
fruit 1eeccs more delicate and beautiful
than those of sheep" Cotton seed was first
planted in the United States in 1921, but
for long time was considered only as q
garden plant. The first shipment to Liver
pool was made in 174S and consisted of
seven bales and was valued at $50 per bale
Another shipment was made of three
bales in ITO. In 1901 the sea island cot
ton crop exceeded s, 900, 900 pounds, while
the upland shore staple cotton amounted
to As, 000,0 600 pounds, of which 20, 900, 900
pounds We're exported.

The Unqrateful South.

The New York Sun, in an editorial under
the caption THE Amazing lngratitude of
the Southern Democracy" makes some very
plain talk to the Bourbons. After remind
ing them of how much they owe the North
ern Democrats for their slavish support.
The Sun says:
'In return, as reward, the South has
imposed on the Democratic party of the
North the odum of an income tax, meas
ure which defies all Democratic principle
from the time of the founding of the Demo
cratic party until the adoption of the Chi
cago platform, With its formal denuncIatlon
of such class taxation as atrocious and I'M
constitutional The Southern Democrats i'm
ported into Democratic legislation principle
utterly repellant to Democracy and destruc
tive of its consistency. 1t is true that they
had aid from some Northern dough-face
Democrats and also from the Populists, from
whom alone the original demand for the
onious tax came; but we should have had
no income tax except orthem. 1t was more
peculiarly Southern measure, outside of
the ranks of the political freebooters of
Populism, Socialism, and Communism
The people had not voted for it in voting
for the Democratic party. They had ex-
pressly voted against it in sustaining the
principles of that party. But the Southern
Democrats insisted on stufiing the abhor-
rent principles down the throats of the
Democracy.
Gould there have been worse political in
gratitude? Moreover, it is ingratitude
from which those guilty of it will be the
chief sufferers. The advocacy of the in
come tax by the South is an expression of
hostility to the rights of capital which will
tend to divert from the South the outside
investments and the outside enterprise it
so much needs. Capitalists are afraid
of region in which the sentiment
prevails that wealth as wealth should
be subjected to special and repressive pen
alties in taxation Politically, too, the
course Of the Southern Democrats promises
to be fatal TO them. They have discredited
the Democratic party by putting on it a
load which endsngers its future at the
North, though upon its prosperity their
own political hopes depend.

Let the Law Remain as II Is.

The comments of the press of the State
seem to be generally in favor of letting the
ballot law as it now exists alone. The
opinion thus expressed is wise. With the
experience gained in voting with the pres
ent ballot in the late election an improve
ment ought to be shown in the future,
while further tinkeripg would only tend to
further confusion. The fact that the
number of ballots incorrectly marked was
large does not justify changing the law
again. Those who failed to vote correctly
have only themselves to blame. The
newspapers of both parties gave full and
careful instructions as to the proper
method of marking and the polling places
were well supplied with sample ballots
and with official directions.
