 Leigh Hunt

The following intensely interesting letter came to the editor of The Age Herald yesterday.
 It is from one he met when in China in the spring of 1895 during the closing days of the Chinese Japanese war
 Leigh Hunt was there represent ing an American syndicate building railroads in China and he and the writer were more or less together for a month or two, and were com panions on many trips in both China and Japan.
 Several years thereafter Hunt went to the Sudan and organized a cotton growing enterprise m mat country.
 Leigh Hunt has been an interna tional promoter, is a man of wealth, learning and vision. Therefore the enclosed letter printed just as he wrote it will be intensely interest ing to many people of the south. It is indeed worth serious thought,

This work has been so highly com
mended that the bureau expects 10

Experiments have shown that
sprays must be applied just before a
rainy spell in order to produce the
best results 1t requires from 4S to

of the large orchards. so that fore
casts for a longer period than is COW
cred by the regular daily forecasts,
and with the occurrence of rain es-
pecially I'm mind, are necessary for
this work In many cases forecasts
covered three TO four days
In the special forecasts during the
harvest seasons the predictions are
made daily but cover just as long a
period as the bureau feels that the
condition as shown on the current
weather maps justify a reasonable
expectation OF accuracy. Ten coun
ties in New York received this ser
vice during the last year
These predictions sent out from
the bureau are not wOrded in the
ordinary way. which the farmer
might not be able TO understand suf-
flciently TO apply 20 practical pur-
poses. but are so phrased as TO con-
vey the confidence the forecaster

with the county agents who have IN
dertaken TO disseminate the predlc-

has not yet been completed, but an
indication Of the interest taken in

The lawyers declare their clients are

bars into stove wood and that the
city IS liable for damages.
From other sources il is answered
