He says that he never knew what Southern hospitality was until his trip south. He was dined and wined from the time he entered the boundaries ot the Sunny South un- til he left them on his return home. He says that if he 1s as successful as he expects to be in the experiments conducted under his direction, the sugar trade of the country will be revolutionized, and there will bea saving ot 40 per cent, bythe new diffusion process.
