s.. ,KitAs tlEhip wv have already no
.tieed, some time since, Il specimen Of #.
hemp Of a56ne quality made from the
fibres of the okfa or s'gulnbo' plant,
which grows with so much abundance
in this State, and requires so lit
tile care in its cultivation. We have
before us another specimen of this
hemp, and take this occasion to make a
few remarks concerning it.
The manner Of turHing the fibre of
the okra into hemp is, we understand,
very simple, and was the discovery Of
a. gentleman named Blanc. He made
the experiment on Colonel Maun
sci Whites plantation, and complete
ly succeeded. Mr.. Blanc has TAX
en- out o patent for his invention, and
is now endeavoring to bring it in
to notice.
The merit of this hemp consists in
the chcapness ofits culture; the abun-
dance of the raw material; the quick
ness with which it grows, giving, we
understand, three crops a year, its su-
perior yield to the acre, of five times as
much as the Kentucky hemp: the mo-
ney saved in its being made near at
homo and not brought from distance;
its more durable. qualities in water or
damp than any other hemp; and its very
easy manufacture into bagging. This last
article is made and needed in such guam
titles, that any substance that will sup
ply it, of equally good quality and at
cheaper rates than can be afforded by
the present basis of manufacture, must
become staple in this market, and
one of profitable pursuit.
We append the documents relating
to this discovery, which We find in the
report Of the u S. Patent Office:
PARISH OF PLAauEMINEs, Jan. "a,
lS5l.-John Blanc, the bearer here
OF, raised on my plantation, at Deer
Range, some beautiful specimens of
hemp from the okra plant, and raised
seed enough to plant forty or fifty acres
J consider it as valuable Us any other
staple raised in this State, and should
have continued the culture were it not
that it intcrfercd with the works was
compelled to pursue in the manage
mcnt of my cane crop.
am not able to say how much it
would produce to the acre; but, from
what ] saw, think it would weld
from thirty-five hundred to five thou
sand pounds clean hemp per acre, and
require less work than any other
crop until the gathering commences,
when, with proper apparatus, the Ia
Dor would be less than with either cot
ton or sugar.
Mr. Blanc himself is an honest and
industrious man, worthy of all praise,
and give him this testimony with
pleasure.
