COTTON GROWING IN KOREA.
Country shows Great AdaptRbiIity
TO the Cultivation of the Plant.

A financial paper published in Yoko-
hama. japan. contains the following on
the cultivation Of cotton in Korea:
1t is "A well-known fact that the future
Of cotton planting in Korea is full Of
promise. and since the establishment OF
the Cotton Plantation Association various
measures have been adopted 20 introduce
improved methods of planting. and the
result has proven very satisfactory. The
cultivators of cotton have each been given
farming implement regardless of the
size Of their holdings. Prizes have been
given by the government to those who
are diligently engaging in the work Thus
everything possible Is being done for the
encouragement Of the cultivation OF the
plant.
During 1907 the work has been quite
satisfactory, with the exception of a few
plantations, and there is no room left 10
doubt the adaptability Of the Korean
climate and soil for the production of
cotton. Now the question is how far the
cultivation can be extended in Korea.
II things progress at the present rate.
within five years there. will be an area
OF plantation extending over 122,5O0 acres.
and the output OF ginned cotton will be
q sec ,666 pounds. valued at 50. 200. Com
pared with the sum realized by the old
Korean method, which is 12,560.0O0 pounds
valued At $3.50 coo, and excess OF 1916 $50
pounds valued az $1,Sl0,OOO, will be obtain
able. Thus II all Of the plantations in
Korea will use the new seeds the output
of ginned cotton will be O.. 10000 pounds,
valued at $3.50, OO0.

NOW GOOD-BY TO THE CITY.
Grant Parish Says Americans VIII
stay at Home This Year.


Grant Parish. the real estate broker, has
this 10 say concerning the present condi-
ton of affairs in what he deslgnates the
blue ribbon kind of realty in the coun-
try"
1t is now good-by to the town house
and hasten quickly 10 the open country.
Rural life is now in vOgue. All classes
join In the pursuits Of agriculture or sub
urban enterprises. The man with a short
pocketbook elbows the millionaire on the
thorOughfares leading to out-of-doors. the
green fields, and all the diversified JOYS
of country life. There is no monopoly.
The blue sky covers all alike, and there
is happiness to be found in cottage Of
modest value as there is in a marble pal
ace. After ALL It depends much on the
man and woman whether they make a go
OF rural occupation either as pastime or a
livelihood. To be successful one must
have a natural love for things beyond the
city limits"
Referring TO the summer homes Of the
social and high official people that make
Washington their winter soiourn, Mr..
Parish. who locates many of them at
Newport, Ear Harbor, Lenox, and other
fashionable resorts. reports the best bust
ness he has ever had. due mostly to the
fact that most of the notables. either in
social or political life. have felt the fnan-
cial depression as to dividends and the
annual trip abroad has been superseded
in favor OF a summer villa at home.
Hence the active demand for mountain
and seaside cottages
In speaking Of the charms Of American
resorts, Mr.. Parish spoke enthusiastically
of our own native places. Talking about
eled Europe over from all points and sec
tons. not once, but five times. and have
yet to find anything to discount that
beautiful body of water known as French
mans Bay, at Bar Harbor, and the glories
of Mount Desert Island Then there
is Lenox, Stockbridge, and the. entire
BerkshireS. for example; fine as six and
the equal Of anything in England, the ia
nous lake districts not excepted.
'As for Newport, we have the words OF
foreign docks that that principality is
without compare. Throughout the entire
United States all classes are cultivating
taste for things in the country and out
of doors. The town house Is simply a
four-month refuge. With the advent OF
the bluebird and the crocuses the exodus
Around about November the dusty, sun

The town house is thrown open; the hot

JAMAICA ANNATTO CULTURE
Product for Coloring Butter Elk.
ported Mostly to United States.
How Bixn OreIIann Is Cultivated and
Process of Preparing Dye for
Market Described.

Consul +. Van Dyne writes from King
ston that one Of the products of Jamaica
is used to a considerable extent for dye
ing purposes, which he thus describes:
This is annatto (Bixa orellana). en-
ployed in coloring butter and cheese and
as a dye for calico. silk. WOOL skins.
feathers, ivory. and bone. It produces a
fast color OF both yellow and red tints.
The plant producing annatto dye is a
native Of the West Indies and other parts
Of tropical America. It Is a small shrub
by tree, attaining a height Of eight 10
| twelve feet II has heart-shaped leaves
ana bears at the ends OF the branches
loose punches Of rose-colored flowers The
| fruit consists Of miter-shaped capsules.
covered with soft spinUles and splitting
into two valves, on the inside OF which
are attached seeds covered with a thin
coating of reddish waxy pulp. the botani-
cal name Of which is the tesla. This waxy
/ substance. when removed. Is the dye
known as annattO. The nature Of this
| dye was known to the warlike Caribs who
inhabited the Lesser Antilles when Amer
lea was discovered by Columbus and they
used 1t as a pigment 20 paint their faces
and bodies
which is sown before It is entirely dry in
nursery beds made in shady places. II is
a hardy plant and win grow, I'm suitable
climates. on almost any soil except soils
! that are swampy, but il gives much larg-
er returns when cultivated on rich lands.
such as the banks of rivers and WELL
| drained alluvial flats. The best climate
for II is one where the temperature ranges
from IS degrees TO so degrees +. and the
! rainfall is abundant.
When the seedlings are about four
months old, at which time they should be
! six 10 eight inches nigh, they are trans
! planted, being set in holes from six 10
/ twelve feet apart. according TO the char
acter of the soil. The land is kept clear
Of weeds. which are hOed up and buried
in trenches between the plants. Full crops
cannot be expected under three or four
years. but seeds may be gathered in eight
cen months or even earlier. II has been
calculated that the first full crop will
yield about five hundredweight Of seed
to an acre, and this will increase for sew
eral years.
When the capsules split open and show
the seeds they are gathered by women
The Washington herald., 1908-06-07

and shildren, the seeds extracted and
dried in the sun. The seeds are valuable
solely for the yellow waxy tesla which
en,elops them.
The seeds are put in tub Of boiling
water and the mass stirred so as to wash
of the waxy tesla from the seeds. After
some days II is passed through a sieve
and the liquid is left for a week TO fer
ment and TO allow the dye to settle. The
clear water is then decanted off and the
deposited dye is allowed 20 evaporate In
shallow pans. When the substance is OF
the consistency Of putty IL Is nodded into
rolls wrapped In banana leaves. and be-
comes the annatto OF commerce. The
cakes are usually packed in casks FOR ex-
port.
In Jamaica annatto Is almost entirely
the production Of the peasant class. The
amount of annatto exported has steadily
grown. In lSS2 only $4,000 pounds were
exported, while during the fiscal year
1906 the exports reached 45I. 2S pounds
Owing 10 the drought II last year the
crop was materially curtailed. and the ex-
ports were only 29O,573 pounds. OF this,
2C4 $50 pounds went 10 the United States.
The imports of annatto into the United
States for the fiscal year 1906 amounted to
PSI .574 pounds. worth $22.1j6. and for the
fiscal year 1907 to Cd. $50 pounds. worth
81. I2S.

INvENTs WICKER LIFE BOAT.
Maker Claims IL Is UnbreakabIe and
Lighter Than Wooden Craft.

A lifeboat that has more than mere nov
city to commend it to the attention OF the
seafaring community has recently been
constructed by c. J. F. de Vos. of Rotter-
dam, says the Shipping World It's claims
are essentially practical and there is
nothing about this Dutch invention to
suggest the fantastic. a characteristic too
often encountered in lifeboat patents.
In point Of fact, there is nothing unusual
in the model favored by Mr. de Vos. It is
In the adoption of a new material Of con-
struction that the value and interest of
his invention lie Its huh is made OF
cane or plated wickerwork, and the in
ventor, who is already we'll known In Hol-
land for his marine auxiliary patents.
claims for this new method of lifeboat
building many advantages over other and
older forms.
Its first and foremost advantage is OBJ
viously it's practically unbreakable char
acter. This has already been put 20 a Sc
we're test in a collision which occurred
an the River Mas some month ago be-
tween a Belgian sailing yacht and a
Dutch motor boat. The violence of the
collision was considerably mitieated by
the fact that this wicker lifeboat lay
between the two craft, and. as it turned
out, acted as a sort of buffer. sustaining
no other damage than the breaking of
the mast and stays.
1t is unsuitable. II has no rusting ma
terials. and, therefore. requires no paint.
II is not liable TO leakage, and, in addi-
ton to being much lighter than ordinary
wooden boats. it has more room for
storing provisions and water. Finally, 1t
costs less money than the usual type OF
| boat.
