Hon. ZEBULoN Il. VANCE,
GocernOr Of North Carolina i:
Dear Sir My interest in the indus
trial welfare of the country induces
me to address you upon a subject Of
great economic moment.
Personal Investigations in India have
fully convinced me that Jute can be
naturalized in the United States. The
conditions of soil and climate in our
Southern States and in California are
suited to the growth of this plant.
The commercial Importance of Jute is
now immense. The culture Of this
staple now adds several of millions
annually To the productive wealth Of
India. Amid all the vast and diversi-
fled productions of that fruitful land.
only cotton, opium, and rice exceed
Jute in mercantile value. In 1872.
besides all the domestic consumption
of Jute, 700, 600, 900 pounds were ex-
ported to foreign countries. The
United Kingdom now annually manu-
features more than 500. 900, 600 pounds
of this fiber.
The range of its uses is broad. 1t
now enters into the manufacture of
almost every kind of fabric, from the
coarsest gunny-cloth to the finest satin:
1t Is claimed that the culture of Jute
Is less exhaustive to the land and more
profitable to the cultivator than that
of sugar-cane or cotton. The plant
grows with rank Insurance. Some
times the yield eracre is $500 pounds.
The cheapness of native Jute for
bags and baling would facilitate the
movement of our crops and the revival
of our domestic commerce.. The fer
tiity of u soil, the economy of our
agricultural machinery, our skilled
labor and scientific supervision, and
our superior chemical and mechanical
processes of treatment Will assuredly
enable Americans successfully to COM
pete with the rude manual indus
try of India in the cultivation and
manufacture of this important staple.
Planters. chemists and inventors
may protitably direct their attention
TO this new source of personal and
public wealth. improvements in meth
DDS Of cultivation, in processes of
sleeping the plant, and in mechanical
facilities for removing the bark, would
open to ingenious minds untrodden
paths to o~pulence.
Perhaps the Middle States also are
adapted to the growth of Jute. Even
in the case of failure, the experiments
would involve no serious loss while,
