Thl. t'ouutry. Prof. David F. Fairchlld, agricultural explorer of the department of agriculture, has just returned trom a year's ex ploratlon In Europe and Africa.

His collections included all sorts of plants, seeds and cuttings which may prove of value to agriculture in some parts of the United States, and his shipments to the department during the year numbered about 300. In Bavaria he obta'ned 1,200 hop plants Including the five best varieties known, Saaz and Semsch being ttti; principal ones. The hops now grown in the United States are not the best, by far, and Immense quantities are imported annually from Bavaria.

He forwarded from Austria seed of the famous Hanna brewing barley of Moravia; also the Slavonian quince, a new variety which very likely will prove of commercial value here.
