in the event Of success, the new indus
try would enrich the nation. But, IN
order to avoid possible loss, the tests
in the Central States should be made
on small scale. The experience Of
the present season will determine to
what extent jute culture in the United
States can proftably be carried.
Jute seed and practical instructions
with regard to the time of planting and
the preparation Of the fiber for market
can be obtained from the Agricultural
Commissioner, at Washington. But

arrived, and planters who are purpos-

culture should make immediate appil-

sibilities Of national wealth deserves
encouragement BY legislative bounties'

will further the success of this under
taking by official recommendations
and that the Legislature and State
Board Of Agriculture will actively aid
an enterprise whose prosperity would
SO effectively promote the material IN
terest of the nation.
Very respectfully, yours,
