PLANTING cocoanuts In Samoa.

+. G. Simion, a cocoanut planter OF
Samoa who is in Seattle. declares that
the German government Is saving the
world from possible cocoanut fam
inc by having the old and dead trees
in the domain under its jurisdiction
replaced by young and healthy trees
each year. According TO Simon.
there is no immediate danger of the
cocoanut supply becoming exhausted,
but the market for the commodity Is
growing better each year. The recent
large foreign experiments in the cult
walton of copra, the dried kernel Of
the cocoanut, from which cocoanut oil
is made, 1t is said by Simon to also
be an important reason why new trees
should be planted. The planter de-
clares that the United States is neg
lecting its holdings In Samoa, while
the various foreign powers are taking
advantage Of every opportunity to
make money on the island.-Seattle

Paper from Grass.

Esparto is not an agricultural prod
net, and 1t seems fitting that the lead
ing export Of the Tripolitan people
should be a product Of their own arid
land, wild and incapable of cultivation.
Since 1868, when the first shipload
of esparto was sent to England, YES
sells have borne away thousands Of
tons yearly to that country. Yor or
pick up a heavy looking novel per-
chance and marvel at its lightness,
and the reader of some London news
paper peruses its columns and then
casts aside the finished product Of the
esparto picker.
In 1901, which was an average year,
215, 155 camel loads came into the
coast towns, nearly $4,000 passed
through the gateway of the Suk-el-
Halfa, the total export of the country
amounting to about $4,000 tons. That
from the town of Tripoli, 16,690 tons,
brought e75,500. which was over a
fourth Of the amount of her total ex-
ports.-Harper's Magazine.
