London Shop Reaponsible For Boston
Tea Party Still Exists.
J .
In London, on Leadenhall street,
there is a grocery' shop which has had
an interesting hUtory. It was founded
in 1650 and was the first shop in
London to sell tea. This store shipped
the tea to Boston which was
thrown overboard by the New Engenders
dressed as Mohawk Indians?
the famous Boston tea party.
Tea is one of the most interesting
of all common beverages. The great
majority of the tea used throughout
the world comes from Japan, Formosa,
Ceylon, India, China, and the
Dutch East Indies. Nearly a third of
the tea used in America comes from
Ceylon. On an average, each American
uses slightly less than a pound of
tea a year?about 250 cups.
We are acquainted with green tea
land black tea. As a matter of fact all
tea is green until it is made black by
a special process. In making green
tea the leaves are steamed as soon as
they are gathered; but in making
black tea the leaves are allowed to
ferment before they are dried. The
result is that black tea contains much
less tannin than greon tea does.
In upper Siam tea is pickled for
chewing instead of being used as a
drink. The leaves are first sun dried
and then steamed to rid them of tannin.
Next they are weighted down for
fermentation, somewhat as the Germans
weight down sauerkraut. The
resulting substance is placed in the
mouth and kept there until the juices
are removed. Individuals with these
balls in their cheeks are a never-ending
source of amusement for travelers
in Upper Siam.
Everybody has heard of the teatasters.
These are persons, generally
from England, who make a profession
of tasting tea on the plantations in
order to determine its quality. These
tea-tasters have to be very carefu.
with themselves. They cannot smoke,
and for several weeks before they
begin work they cannot eat any highly
seasoned food, because it might
impair their delicate sense of taste.
Their work is limited to only a few
hours a day and they are paid good
salaries.
| Small quantities of the tea to be
tested are put in cups on a large table
and one by one hot water is poured
into the cups. After the tea has
had time to steep the taster sips some
of it, notes its flavor and then grades
it accordingly. He is very careful not
to swallow any of the tea. In spitfc of
this precaution, however, the tea has
an injurious effect on his health after
a few years and as a rule tea-tasters
are short-lived. The uniform quality
of the tea bought on the market is
largely due to their careful work.
Even Uncle Sam employs several teatasters
to test the product as it i-J
imported.?The Pathfinder.

planting, thin heeding mid poor inoculation
are the ihost common ctliw
of failure to succeed with winter legumes
In South Carolina, according
to observations and report# by many
farmers, nay# T. S. Buie, head of the
agronomy division.
"nWrder that a winter legume nj$y
develop a satisfactory root system
before cold leather it is necessary
that it be planted earlier than Is often
the case/' continues d)r. "Buie.
["Experiments conducted at Clemson
College and other places in the state
have shown that a much better early
season growth, as well as a higher
total yield is secured when the winter
legume is planted before October
"The cost of seed may seem to be
eonsbUrnablc, but when compared with
t he expected profits one sees that a
failure to plant sufficient seed M
false economy. From 30 to 40 pounds
i>jk Austrian field pea seed, or from
2& to 30 pounds of vetch seed should
l>e planted per acre. If rye or oats
used this amount may be reduced*stJntewhnt.
"If pro|>e|f growth is to be made,
inoculation of the legume with the
p: uper bacteria is absolutely necessary.
On many farms the organisms
are present and inoculation is not necessary.
The safest ryle to follow,
however, is to inoculate either with
commercial cultufe or soil unless it is
known that this is unnecessary."

Kershaw County Corn in Fairs
- Eight progressive Kershaw County
Farmers are competing this year
in the state-wide corn contest. The
following farmers have entered corn
exhibits in the Pee Dee fair in Florence:
W. D. MeDowall, R. C. 'McCoy,
W. L. Miles, Paul BrowO,
Grettys, N. P. Gettys. 'B. C. Truesdale,
E. C. Pearce and W. C. Seagle.
These corn exhibits will also "be
shown in other district fairs in South
Carolina and in the state fair in Columbia,
says Henry D. Green, the
eounty agent. ?
/
When we consider that the average
corn production in South Carolina
is only 12 bushels per acre, it
behooves us to take certain steps to
increase this yield. This can best be
done by using legumes, such as hairy
vetch, Austrian peas, clovers, &ojfl
beans and velvet beans.
