Ms. G. W. Groff writing in the Custon Guzette, Sage -- :

The attration of the Ling Nan Agricut. tural College has recently been added to the importance of reviving the wood nit industry in South Ching The founda tion for this industry is the cultivation of several speels of trees belonging to the genus Aleurite of the family Euphor b-nces which are grown very largely for the oils they yield bus also som times for shade and ornament, They a tropical trees and cunnot be grown to advantage north of the Yangtsze river, bar the region to the south is xcodingly well alapted to their culture.

For many years China has grown these trees for the drying ait derived from the areth. These cils are similar to linsed vil, but dry quicker and are hardlier and more waterproof, but not lightproof and elastic. Within comparatively recent times Wester

From this nursery there will be selected the most bardly strains of plants for the two groves and the remainder of the Spez will be sold to residents of the community who may be interested in planting them. In order to encourage this industry in Florida over sixty varnish manufacturers have subscribed funds to make the project possible. They have organized a corpora tion to be known as the American Tung Ou Corporation and are preparing in formation regarding cultural methods for thos who wish to grow the trees.

If China does not speedily produce in- credit quantities of pure wood all at reasonable prices there is danger that she will lose her grasp on this important in- dustry.
