Tea Growing In South CaroIiu.

Or. Charles \. Shepard of South
Carolina has proved on his own plan
tation at SummerVille. twenty miles
out OF Charleston. that the growing of
tea can be carried on successfully and
probably. He has been doing this for
the past twelve years, with such good
results that the secretary of agricul-
ture and the congress of the United
States highly approve his deeds. and
both are extending him liberal assist
ance
My idea from the start" said DIR.
shepard, was to add an additional
crop TO the farm products Of the coun-
try. The road TO agricultural supremacy
is through diversifying. Tea raising in
the United States is certainly practical
BILE 1t is no new thing in this country.
for in the old days French priest
planted tea on the banks of the Ashley
river. But owing TO the difference in
the cost Of labor the United States cam
not compete with the orient in low
grade OF cheap teas. 1t will pay us to
produce only that of the highest quail
ity and which brings n high price In
market The tea grown on my place in
South Carolina compares with the best
that is imported from eastern lands. -
