The phi nomenal Increase In the con sumption of Cov Ion und India tea In this cotintr has become ery striking, nnd those inteiested either from the standpoint of the seller or the consumer natural look for a reason for the giadltal change fiom teas that out peo ple have been using foi jeais to a tea that, prior to the Chicago World's Tutr, was prac tlcullv unknown heie In oidei to thitnv some light on tho mutter n lepiisentatlve of this paper intei viewed Mi Fred C Williams, of New Yoik, who hns been Intimately connected with the Inttoductlon of the tea in this t ountiy When asked how ho accounted for the unusual showing, Mi Williams snld ' Theie nip seveial nasons but para mount among them Is the meilt of the nrtlele Its u long story but I will give jou n short resume of how the consumption In little more than u de lude hns gone fiom thousands of pounds up to millions When tho World's Kulr wns projected, the plant ers of Cejlon und India tea, who hail abend absorbed the murkets of Gte.it Riltnln and weie making Imonds on Russia and other European loimtiles, saw the oppoitunlty to bring to the at tention of the people of the United States the merit ot a tea produced on virgin soil, manufactuied by scientific machinery nnd sold to the consumer uneaten ed and unadulterated, and when the Fair opened a part of the Indian exhibit was devoted to tea. nnd thou sands of oui people weie served with the 'nip that cheers but does not In ebriate" This vvas under the manage ment of Mi.

"Can tea bo grown In this counti"" wns nsked of Mr Williams He snld that there weie sevei.il States where the climatic conditions weie such that good ten had been raised, but labor bote was fur too high to compete with tea-grow Ing countries, but ho added that he bad heard expressions of opin ions from several practical tea plant ers legardlng the raising of tea In some of oui recently acqulied possessions The consensus of opinion seemed to be that It was quite possible that tea would In that way become one of th products of this eountr.
