Greece alone imported over 900 tons Of
this commodity last year
Nearly all the iD-OTtatiCns have so
far come from Great Britain, which in
1863. furnished a satisfactory article At
an average price Of SII436 per ton. The
British product contains from % To 80 per
cent Of pure suiphate of copper. the resi-
due consisting Of copperas and d few
other impurities During the past spring
the suIphate was sold to the consumer At
margin Of only %N.II per ton. Ia this

that in order to encourage the spraying
Of vines the Greek Government some

NEEDED IN CURRANT CULTURE
suIphafe of Copper in Great Demand
in Parts of Greece.

Frederick ". Hossfeld, the United
States Consul at Trieste, Austria, writes
20 the State Department that there IS .
considerable demand in the currant-grow-
ing districts of Greece for suIphate Of
copper. Referring 10 the matter, Mr.
Hossfeld says:
In consequence Of the great Increase
Of phylIoxera in the curraut-g growing ,iis-
tricts OF Greece, sUlphate Of copper has
become an important article Of imp0Tta-
ton in that country. The present yearly
consumption IS estimated at from 1909 to
300 tons, and the home production Is
scarcely worth mentioning
The wholesale currant trade Of Greece
Is almost entirely controlled by banks and
commercial syndicates. These associa-
lions, realizing the necessity OF counter
acting the ravages Of the disappearing
phyIlOxeTa, have not only made system
attic efforts TO impress upon the planters
The Importance Of spraying their vines
but have also taken steps to import sui
phate Of copper IN large quantities and

The little child IS safe from ordinary

But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the

those invisible foes that lurk in air,
