the valley, and brings one back to the
realization that this is city. But
as one follows the tiny car on it's jour-
ney one notices it passing little
truck farm with ITS regular rows of
beets and cabbages and its notice that
fresh vegetables right out of the farm
are to be had daily. A truck farm on
Broadway! Truly, New York is
city of surprises. A few rods farther
and the car is passing quaint white
wooden church that looks as though it
had just stepped out of the pages Of
Rip VaN Wrinkle.
In another direction roll out before
the eye the wide acrek of Van Cort-
landt Park and beyond it the varied
landscape of Westchester county; on
the other side the Harlem river and
more wooded and rocky hillside on
the Bronx side, with the columns of
the Hall of Fame completing the pic
ture. Truly, it is a view worth going
many mile to see, never lacking in
interest or variety, and thoroughly
typical of the great city wherein 1t
lies. The city man loves that view
and goes there often to rest by look
ing above the rush and hurly-burly
and noise of the city, at the beauties
which lie on the higher level of vision.

OLD AND PROFITABLE TRADE
Chinese Government Derives a Hand
some Revenue From the Tea Mar
kets of Szechuan Province.

The tea trade of Tatsienlu, in the
Chinese province of Szechuan, near
the Tibetan border was first started
in the reign of Yung Cheng, some 200
years ago. At that time, it is said,
Tatsienlu did not exist as town, but
tents were pitched in the valley, and
the Tibetans gathered and bartered
on the occasion of religious fairs.
The tea trade is now established
under government control, yielding a
handsome revenue. Licenses are is
sued quarterly, and taken up by over
100 firms engaged in the trade. Each
license costs one tael in Chinese
money, equivalent to about 80 cents in
American exchange. The license al
lows the holder to import five bales of
tea into Tatsienlu, more being permit
ted according to requirements.
Tea has become almost indis-
penSable to the Tibetans, hence they
are naturally drawn to the tea mar
ket, to which they bring their own
products for sale or exchange. One
of the largest firms in Tatsienlu buys
as many as 10000 bales, others 10000
bales. The total regular licenses is
sued annually is given as 10000. The
licenses were formerly issued at
Chengtu, but the authority was trans
ferred to Tatsienlu in 1918.
Under the old arrangement, the tax
was paid when the tea actually passed
the local customs at Tatsienlu. Now
it is paid when the licenses are issued,
or within three months of that time.
The annual turnover is fully 100000
taels. Since the trade has been es-
tablished so long, it has probably
reached its maximum, but with seri-
ous competition from India, which the
Chinese have feared for many years,
the trade in Tatsienlu would decline

Boil Weevil Cuts
Deep Into the Crop

Reports to the Commercial Appea
indicate that the condition of thu
cotton crop at Aug. rs, was 55.5 pei
cent of a normal compared with
7O.3 per cent at July rs.
The indicated yield is 7,891,8OO
bales without linters.
Deterioration was very severe
during the last two weeks Of the
period, owing to drouth in Texas and
Oklahoma and boil weevil depreda-
tions elsewhere. Boil weevils also
contributed damage to the Texas
crop Notwithstanding the hot, dry
weather. Army worm was also a
factor in scattered localities
throughout the belt, but was more
frequently mentioned in reports
from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas
and Alabama than elsewhere.
The Carolinas complain of ferti-
lizer exhaustion.
Picking and ginning is we'll I'M
der way in Texas south of Austin,
and is started in south Georgia and
to a smaller extent in Alabama.
Cotton is beginning to open through
out all but the northermost sections
of the belt.

plains that the plant is fruiting
poorly. Arkansas and Tennessee Of
fer a reasonably good prospect for
middle and top crops, as well as
bottom crop. Elsewhere the bottom
crop is all that is expected and APP
pears to average between fair and
good. In some instances, however,
the main reliance is upon middle
or top crop, the bottom crop having
been destroyed.
Weather conditions east of the
Mississippi river during the past 80
days were mostly favorable for
plant growth, but, in Georgia par
ticularly favorable for boil weevil
activity. West of the river, and es-
pecially in Texas and Oklahoma the
weather was unfavorable for the
plant, but reports indicate that boil
weevil activity was not checked to
the extent that might have been ex-
pected.
Except in sections free, or rela-
lively free from boil weevil, which
embraces West Texas, the most of
Oklahoma, most of the northern
half of Arkansas, Tennessee, North
Carolina and northern sections of
South Carolina, reports indicate that
all the crop that can be expected is
safe from boil weevil dam
age.
This report is based on CORE
spOndence covering in detail 1872
counties and parishes embraced in
the ten principal cotton producing
