Where Fine Coffee is Grown.

The Harar district, town and
province. is the center Of produc-
ton OF cultivated coffee in Ethi-
opla. The bean produced Is OF ex-
cellent quality and ranks next only
10 Mocha In world markets. 1t Is
called "long- berry Mocha" and is
sold 10 a discriminating clientele In
the United States. Although the
Harar plantations are descended
from seed introduced from the
Mocha district In Arabia, Ethiopia
Is the home of coffee. The tree
was found originally by Arab trav-
elers in the Ethiopian province OF
Kafa, from which 1t took its name
Seed was taken from Kafa to
Arabia, and thence came back to
Harar. According to the Arabs, the
cultivation of coffee also spread to
other parts OF the world from the
Yemen, I'm southwestern ArlbIa.
In Kafa and adjoining parts Of
southwestern Ethiopia may be seen
today vast and virgin forests of
coffee Of the Indigenous variety. 1t
necessarily grows without cultlva-
tion or care and thousands of tons
Of the barries fall to the ground in
waste each year. The outer fringes
of some OF these forests are worked
by natives in sections not too far
from export trading centers, where
the market value Of coffee is known.
Egypt buys much Of this coffee,
shipped via Khartoum. in place OF
former importations Of the Brazil
ian product.
Lions are numerous In the Harar
district. They are the fine black
named fellows so alluring to the
biggame hunter. Probably other
kinds can chew one up Just as thor
oughly, bue the Harar fellow is par
ticularly respected. When an
Ethiopian kills a lion, he has the
right to demand a special audience
from the emperor during which to
declaim and act out the feat. Aft
erwards he is privileged to wear the
name and skin as part of his war
rior dress.
