to indicate that the culture OF TINS

lead to large fortunes 1t is not gen.
orally known that attempts were
made to esta blish tea gardens here be-
| fore the war, and since the end of that
outbreak systematic efforts have been
made to revive the old gardens. Prof.
Massey Of the State agricultural col
lege has been instrumental in trying
to spread information among the farm
ers concerning the culture of tea, and
few have been induced to put out
gardens. The tea sent from the old
Smith farm this season brought 50
cents pound, and some from the
Summerville gardens in South Caro-
lima brought as high as 81 pound.
Last summer the tea cut at Summer

pounds, and this year several times
that amount has been sold. DR.. Shep-

1T is astonishing to what a null

said C. j. Johnson, of Atlanta, to the
Globe Democrat man. "For CEN
turtles this important part OF the
cotton crop (the sced), except what
was used for planting, was either
thrown away as waste, used for en-
riching the soil or fed to cattle.
Only of late years was the mercantile
value of the oil discovered. 1t de-

be hard to tell in how many ways it

for the seed after the oil is extracted,

and great loss occurs, not only before
they are dug but even after they are
stored in the cellar, if the conditions
there should be favorable. The
threads of the fungus live over winter

serve to start the disease again the
following summer.
TREATMENT.
If it can be avoided, potatoes which
are known to be diseased or which
have been grown in field attacked'b by
the blight should not be used for seed.
However, a remedy has been found
which, if used in season, seems
to be very efficient in check

They do not require very rich soil, nor

it should be clean culture from the

also must be done with great care, not

ground if it is at all wet. A good
crop should pay at least as well as a

that it helps to distribute the labor

SEEDLEss GRAPEs-It has been stated
in recent essay by a prominent hor-
ticulturist that seedless grapes are
produced Ivy growing q plant from
cuttings for several successive gener-
atoms. The theory is that a plant
becomes accustomed to this mode OF
propagation, and then the natural
process Of producing seeds becomes
abortive by disuse. While those Of
wide experience may smile at this
speculation, it is really one on which
many scientific men differ. That
there is no ground whatever for be-
lieving that seedless grapes can be
produced in this way is evident from
the case of the red currant in our gar
dens. This has been continuously
pcopagated by cuttings from the time
when the Romans had sway in Eng.
land, and yet as it is we'll known, it
produces seeds as freely to-day as II
it had been raised continuously from
seeds for a couple of thousand Of
years. Just how nature does produce
the seedless grapes is not yet well
known; and the honest answer to the
questions as to how seedless grapes
are produced would be to say that I'VE
don't know" -Meehan's Monthly.
