The Gotten Tree.

General Joe Wheeler, vino is now
in the Philippines, recently wrote
latter from Manila to relative in
this country, in which, among
other things, he said:
The cotton tree is found growing
in an uncultivated state IN many
islands of the archipelago. Long
staple cotton was formerly ex:en-
sively cultivated IN the province of
Ilocos Norte, whence many years
ago large quantities of good cotton
stnffs were exported. This industry
still exists. The cultivation Of this
staple was, however, discouraged
by the local governors, in order to
urge the planting Of tobacco for the
government supplies. 1t has sine (

pamphlet from (for which a pfize
was awarded in Madr,d), was gra-
tuitously distributed over the colony
in 1888, with that object. Nrver

ing in still carried on in reduced
scale in the Ilocos province. Gu
zon, west coast.)
"lid cotton is pIact'Ca'iy useless
for spinning, s the staple is ex-
tremely short. but perhaps by by
bridization and careful attention its
culture might become valuable TO
the colony. The pod is ellipt'cal
and the cotton, which bursts from
it at M aturity. is snow white. 1t is
used for s,uffing pillows and mat
tresses. 1t is common thing to
see wild cotton trees planted along
the high road to serve as telegraph
posts. BY the time the seed is fully
ripe every leaf has fallen and moth
ing but the bursting pods remain
hanging to the branches.
