PENINSULA COFFEE GROWERS.
EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG EAST
ERN SHORE MAN IN THE LAND
OF THE MONTEzUMAS.


OF THE MONTEzUMAS.
Easton, Md May Edward Trippe,
a Young man from Easton, now In the
coffee culture business in Southern
Mexico. is home on a visit to his
father DR.. Edward r. Trippe. Two
years ago he left Talbot county and
went by steamer from New York toI
Vera Cruz, Mexico, and from there by
sailing vessel to COatZacOalcas, on the
coast of the Tehuantepec isthmus, and
thence up La Trinidad river to where
he Is now located, near San Juan Evan
gelistio. where he bought a wooded
plantation to clean up and plant in cof-
fee The country is rolling and high
200 feet above the sea at Trippe's
place-the climate is salubrious, the
soil Is alluvial from three to fifteen feet
deep.
Boston and Chicago capital is going
there to develop the country, which is
just really becoming known to the out
side world. and Mn Trippe predicts it
will become the greatest coffee-grow-
ing section of this country.
The coffee trees are set out in holes
a foot square and ten inches deep, and
will bear in two years. the productive
life being about twenty years. They
grow eight feet high and yield from two
TO five pounds of coffee per tree. Be
sides coffee, sugar and tobacco are sta
pies of the country.
Dr. William S. Cockrell, a son of
United States Senator Cockrell, of Mis-
souri,. has plant worth over S75,00O
and some 200 acres in sugar cane which
he will increase to 500 acres. His plan
tation adjoins Mr.. Trippes. Another
neighbor is Arthur X. Easter, of Balti-
more. Other Americans are going there
to find homes. They are welcomed cor
daily by the natives. 1t is an Original
country as Mr.. Trippe says, but its
prospects and possibilities under Amer.
ican enterprise and capital are beyont
calculation. Mr. Trippe will soon star
on his return 20 his new home.
