What reading level is Agriculture in the Tropics An Elementary Treatise book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mate or Paraguay Tea. This plant (Ilex paraguayensis} furnishes one of the staple drinks of South America: it contains a considerable proportion of caffein, the alkaloid to which coffee owes its stimulating properties. Many attempts have been made to introduce this drink in northern countries, but the mistake has been made of trying to introduce it as mate, and no success has been attained, as was the case with kola. What should be done is to mix it in small proportion with tea or coffee, calli...ng the mixture by some fancy name including tea or coffee in the title, and as the taste for the mixture grows increase the proportion of mate.
The consumption in South America, where the plant is native in southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, is enormous. Brazil exports about 190, 000, 000 Ibs. A year, besides consuming a good deal locally; and Paraguay also a very large amount, most of it going to Argentina.
The plant is but rarely cultivated, but occurs wild in great abundance. The young branches are cut, and dried over a fire of aromatic wood, until the leaves are crisp, when they are broken off and packed to go to the grinding mill, where they are ground into a fine powder in a large iron pan, and packed for market.
