Cheap Labor Kills Competition.

Washington, July 6. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has received a re-
port from veteran horticulturist,
whom he sent recently to investigate
the tea farming industry carried on at
Summerville, S. c., with view of as
certaining the prospects of profitable
growth of the tea plant in this country.
The report estimates the minimum cost
about eight times as much to pick one
pound of tea in South Carolina as that
paid for the same service in Asia, and
suggests that it seems impracticable
to compete with the cheap Oriental
labor.
