Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... american jute culture. introductory. In the section on hemp, in the first part of this report, it is suggested that as hemp is already established in American agriculture, by extending its culture, it might be made to take the place of jute in many of the coarse jute manufactures now produced in this country, and in a measure regain its lost position. In this connection, I may state that while hemp is the stronger and better fiber, and its culture fully understood, a strong point in the argument for jute cultivation is the fact that the present large demand for India jute assures a ready market for the American product. As many manufacturers are using jute and not hemp, and their machinery is adapted to the softer fiber, they will continue to use jute until satisfied of a positive advantage in employing the other kind. But at the outset it should be understood that the Department urges experiments in the cultivation of both hemp and jute, growing them together in localities where both plants will thrive, in order to ascertain the relative cost of culture of each. The first belongs to more temperate climates, however, while the last is a hotcountry product. The employment, in our industrial economy, of both hemp and jute fiber grown on American soil would add greatly to the prosperity of the farmers of both sections of the United States, giving to each a crop with which to replace, in part, the culture of staples which are no longer profitable. A little more than half a century ago jute was brought into prominence in Europe through the experiments of a Dundee manufacturer, and from that time on the use of the fiber has increased rapidly, until to-day the large consumption of the fiber in all manufacturing countries has given it a very...

Excerpt from Report on Jute Culture: And the Importance of the Industry Heretofore the agriculture of the South has been restricted to the pro duction of a very few staples. This narrow limitation of southern industry is an essentially false policy. The South has made the grave mistake of confining its activities almost exclusively to one pursuit. But no country can realize its highest possibilities of material greatness by following a single employment. The urgent need of the South to day is a wide range of industries. It ought to superadd manufactures to a larger variety of agricultural productions. Then the competition of the different occupations would impart activity to business, give more employment to labor, create better local markets, raise the price of a gri cultural and manufactured products, increasing the profits of workmen.

Excerpt from A Report on the Culture of Hemp and Jute in the United States: With Statements Concerning the Practice in Foreign Countries, the Preparation of the Fiber for Market, and Remarks on the Machine QuestionIt is not necessary to go into details regarding the varieties of hemp. Several are grown in this country, that cultivated in Kentucky, and having a hollow stem, being the most common. China hemp, with slender stems, growing very erect, has a wide range of culture. Smyrna hemp is adapted to cultivation over a still wider range, and Japanese hemp is beginning to be cultivated, particularly in California, where it reaches a height of 15 feet.1 Russian and Italian seed have been experimented with, but the former produces a short stalk, while the latter only grows to a medium height. A small quantity of Piedmont ese hemp seed from Italy was distributed by the Department in 1893, having been received through the Chicago Exposition, but it failed to germinate, as doubtless the seed was too old.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
