raised on the plantation of 2. B. Sims, Esq,
of this county, which in our judgment, is
equal, if not superior, 10 any Kentucky raised
Hemp we have ever seen. The fibre is much
finer and stronger and very much resembles
the Kentucky and Missouri fax.
We have always believed that Hemp could
be made successful and profitable growth in
Texas. We still believe it stronger now than
ever, and hope that Mr.. Sims will demonstrate
the fact beyond possibility of doubt in the
curing and preparing for market his present
crop.-BOaham Lnaepen4em.
