PROFIT IN TEA GROWING
IN THE UNITED STATES
Department of Agriculture
Makes Satisfactory Expert
ments in South Carolina.

Tea can be grown at a profit in the
United States, according to a report Of
the Department of Agriculture, just is
sued. and a large part Of the $16.OO0.00O
that this country spends abroad annually
for tea can be kept at home. But the
conduct of a successful tea plantation is
not a poor mans pastime. 1t requires
the investment OF considerable capital
and more experience. and 1t is six, or
seven years after the initial investment
before the plantation begins to pay for
itself.
Profits on the Investment
The experiment that the department
has just concluded indicates that with an
Investment of $4,000 a tea plantation of
300 acres can be established, and with
careful marketing and supervision the
plantation can pay off the indebtedness
in sixteen years and yield about $1,000
year for an indefinite period there
after. In taking this length of time to
liquidate the original debt. allowance In
made for absorbing some of the income i'm
dividends for several years before the
debt Is paid off
The experiment with the tea garden
was conducted at Summerville. s. c.,
-.
Kinslear Of the department, and for q
term of years thereafter by George F.
Mitchell who submitted .the final report
This report Is complete treatise on tea
growing In America, and contains q mass
Of technical information of interest only
to the prospective grower.
Use Of Special Machinery.
The general conclusions of interest to
the lay reader are that In spite Of the
higher labor cost in this country it is
possible to grow tea at IL profit. This is
due largely to the use Of special ma
ch;nery, much of 1t designed by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Considerable OF
the success in the south is attributed
largely to the availability OF the CHEAP
labor OF colored women and children.
The greater use OF machinery In handling
the crop makes for q cleaner and more
sanitary product.
The experiment was tried on an area
OF I'D acres divided into several gar
dens. Careful records were kept OF the
weather conditions. the cost Of fertilizers
and labor and the expense Of marketing
the tea.
Gives History Of Tea Growing.
The report gives history of tea grow
ing In America reaching back to 1900.
These first attempts were commercially
Improbable, but it was shown that the
climate and soil were satisfactory This
last and extensive experiment has proved
to the satisfaction Of the department
that America can raise all the tea il needs
for its own use. 1t is said that were the
stead Of 200 acres the profits would be
considerably more than doubled.

1.-THE SEVEN KEYS"

THE title of the new serial that
begins in our next SUNDAY
MAGAZINE suggests all manner
of mysterious things and there is
more mystery in it than any title
could possibly indicate. You may
imagine the seven keys have SYM
bolic significance, that they open the
door to all manner of reforms; but If
you expect this you will be very pleas
antly disappointed For this serial is
all story, with no Interior purpose
whatever
There hasn't been tale written in
many long day that is so choke full of
excitement You will wonder how the
chief characters are able to stand 1t.
1t takes a whole book to narrate the
events crowded into two and half
days The people couldn't have kept
up the pace much longer than that.
The story starts with a rush that
never lets up for moment. The
author brings together the hero and
heroine, utter strangers to each other,
in the first paragraph, and in circum-
stances that leave each of them
wholly in the dark as to the others
real identity. You know all about

HOW GERMAN WORDS ARE MADE

THE following is the authentic history OF
a formidable German word:
Among the Hottentots lin German, Hot
tentotten) many marsupials are found. The
works on natural history do not reveal this
fact; but the story is good as II they did.
Whenever the narsuplals are caught they
are put into a cage, there known as hotter,
provided with cover to keep out the ram
(the cover is called in German LGhengifer).
The cage then becomes known as Latengt-
teyspetterkotter, and the marsupal, after his
imprisonment in one of them, is a Ldtten

of HottentOt woman, the mother OF two
suffering and stupid children, who was
called, on this account, Observation-Disclosures
rottelmntter. The malefactor was confined
in marsupials cage, whence he escaped.
He was recaptured by Hottentot, who put
him in safe place and came to the chief of
the nearest German South African station
and said, with beaming eyes, for he thought
he had mastered the German tongue:

CURSE FROM "R L. s."
AMONG the unpublished papers of the
late Charles Warren is a poetic calling
card p" once left by Robert Louis Stevenson
at the San Francisco home of the American.
There was a vagabond strain in Mr.. Stod-
dard that must have made strong appeal
to r. L. S., a sort of wanderlust, which so
often carried him abroad on protracted
walks that his friends usually found him
out-or, rather, did not find him in. When
this unwelcOme experience came to the nov
elist he slipped an impromptu under the door:
o Stoddard. in our hearts of ease,
Despondent. dull. and hard to please.
When coins and business wrack the brow.

while he'd been with them. They assured
him that they were all regular and stanch";
but had, strange to say, forgotten to bring

Soon afterward the next Mavor met them

there was a full array of gambling stuff,

had been taken "in the name of the law
