Professor Dr. Max Fesc, who visited Ceylon recently was interviewed by a Times of Ceylon reporter and we give the result' below; The Professor, said he had been route to Germany from Japan since the 2nd January last. He arrived in the Far East in 1885, intend to stay for three years, but has remained here ever since, and he tbloks it probable he will not return. The Pro fessor has been engaged in geological and agricultural surveying in Japan, and he naturally saw a great deal of tea cuidvation.

TEA V THE MULBERRY.
"The Japanese manufacture green tea almost
solely," said the Professor in response to a ques- tlon, "What is consumed to the country cannot "be determined by accurate data ; but the export is from five to six million yang worth per annum, and this may be said to be all greta tes, and almost all of it goes to America."
Can you tell me why the amount exported is not increasing 7"
"The mulberry," was the reply, "is already growing along with the tea, and silk culture and manufacture to lar more profitable and attractive to be people. They export 15 million yens worth of silk, and this is a minimum estimate. Thus, I think, the export of green tex will decrease Instead of increase; and that the extension of the mulberry will be preferred. The old famous tea districts will iemain; but there will be little new land opened up in tea, and some will be changed in favour of sille production.""

THE AGE AND YIELD OF TEA. "Anything about tea lnterests us here, Pro- ferror; will you tell'me what effect age has on the bushes?"
"There are shruba 150 years old, and though the quantity yloided is less the quality is belter than when they were young plants. That is the rula in gead districts, where the soil is suitable. The average up to which the heavy yields continue is some 30 year and then, as I have said, the quality rather improves. There are two seasons for plucking in the year, the first commencing now, or a little later, with the summer monsoon. In a wet year there would be a third time of pluck Ing; but this latter would be only inferior tes. Of course, the bashes have « rest in the winter ; but it is a striking fact that the annual yield per acre in Japan is larger than in Ceylon or Jav. I have compared the yields, and so beneficial is the winter rest, apparently, for the subsequent enormous. reproduction of leaves, that the months of idlenessa compared with plucking all the year
