EXCELLENT TEA CAN BE GROWN IN AMERICA

When an American makes up his
mind that he can do something. he Gen-
orally does it. There was a man down
in Pinehurst. S. c., several years ago
who decided that tea could be grown
there as we'll as in Asia, and the result
is that tea is being raised there in suf-
ficient quantity for commercial pur-
poses, and of such fine quality that
1t commands 81 a pound at retail
Asiatie tea experts say that tea can
not be grown successfully where there
is not at least so to 100 inches of rain
fall annually. Pinehurst averages 46
inches. Asiatic experts say tea cannot
be grown in a region where there are
frosts. Pinehurst has frosts. 1t has
been asserted, too, that tea growing is
impra racticable, except where there is the
cheapest kind of labor to be obtained
for the picking.
DR.. Charles U. Shepard laughs at
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-02

these assertions. He knows better.
And Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
meta phorically patting DR.. Shepard on
the back and endeavoring to encourage
others throughout the South to emulate
DIR. Shepard's example.
DIR. Shepard was not able to draw
down from the clouds twice as much
rainfall for his gardens as nature ordi-
narily bestows on that part of South
Carolina, but he was able to make the
small amount of moisture at his dis
posal go further than it would If left to
nature alone. He did this by under
draining his gardens and plowing the
soil unusually deep, so that the water,
instead of draining off after wetting
the surface of the ground, soaks in and
is absorbed by the porous ground,
which holds it like a sponge and gives
off water gradually to nourish the
plants.
The labor question was solved in an
entirely original way. 1t was found
that the children of colored families liv-
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-02

ing in the neighborhood of Pinehurst
could be taught to be very expert tea
pickers. The gardens were not exten-
siVe enough to keep a force constantly
employed, and it was very difficult to
get the pickers together when they
We're wanted. DR.. Shepard puzzled over
this problem for quite a long time, but
finally solved it.
The quality of tea produced depends
to very great degree upon the selec-
ton of the proper leaves in picking
and the high price obtained for the
Pinehurst teas is due very largely to
the care exercised in selecting the
proper leaves. The pickers are trained
to distinguish by the touch the leaves
which are just right for picking and
to pass over all the other leaves. AS
a result the teas put upon the market
are remarkably uniform in grade, and
do not have such a large percentage
of undeveloped leaves as in the case
with most imported teas especially
those from China,

WAR AGAINST MRS. EYLER
Bishop Will Look For sOoiety's

Tsnecia1 Id ..The Jersey City News.'

Especial to ssThe Jersey City News."1
PATTERSON, Sept. G, 1Ss9.-There is like
" to be a lively time at the next State
melting Of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children on account of the
recent attacks made by Barto B. Hutch
inson. president of the Mercer county or
ganization ON Arthur W. Bishop. Of this
city. growing out of the State Industrial
School scandal.
Mr.. Bishop, who had been out Of the
city for a few days, returned yesterday
morning and the presumption was that
he had been away on the Mrs. Eyler bust
ness, and hunting up evidence for the
Mercer County Grand Jury; but it turned
out that he was in Pennsylvania for a
short vacation from the cares of his
office.
The letters against Mrs. Eyler and the
trustees of the school still pour into Mr..
Bishops office, and all urge him to night
the trustees to a finish. Mr.. Bishop will
shortly have the State officers of the so-
ciety pass on the controversy. and the
probabilities are that the majority will
favor his stand, for they know that he
takes 1t up as a matter of duty, with
malice toward none. and only to see that
justice is dom to the children at the State
school.
