Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly s20,000,000 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main In
dustry, but after disease OF the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article.
the islands old prosperity revived To
day Ceylon boasts $500 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch mancinery and feed 1t from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents a day, while foreman's
salary averages $500 a month.-Har-
