WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY,
st. Louis, May 5, 1880.


Editor RepubLican-DEAR SIR Mr.. 1t
Due the Commissioner of Agriculture, has
kindly sent me a quantity of jute seed. As
the time for planting has already arrived
it is hoped that those who wish to try the
experiment of raising jute will make imme-
date application for the seed TO DR.. G.,
Hanback,, of Washington University, who
has kindly consented to superintend the dis
tribution. As it is desirable to have the
tests made on as large an area as possible,
only small quantity of seed will be sent to
any one applicant.
Jute grows in warm climate and a moist
alluvial soil The seed should be planted
i'll drills about three feet apart, in ground
which has been thoroughly pulverized by the
pillow and harrow. Drilling is better than
broadcast sowing because it gives a chance
for the easy removal of weeds. The cultiva-
tor should be frequently used between the
rows so as to keep the soil in friable con-
dition.
These experiments will be purely tenta-
tive. They are intended to determine
under what conditions of climate and soil
Indian jute can be naturalized in the Uni
ted States. Planters should keep careful
record of the time of planting, Towering and
maturity, of the character of the soil of
the monthly temperature and rainfall, the
period of cultivation, and of the height of
sic stdAA anu Tic Ol the
fiber. Only those who will consent to OBJ
serve these conditions should send orders
for seed.
1t is extremely important that all the
seed of the homegrown jute be preserved
for future use.
AS the seed which the agricultural
bureau has sent me was imported from
India, it is not worth while for farmers
north of the latitude OF st. Louis to attempt
its cultivation.
The successful culture of Indian jute
would probably demand warmer climate
than that of North Missouri. 1t seems to
me that our Southern States cannot any
longer affort to neglect an industry that is
bringing to India more than one hundred
millions year. Probably the single State
Of Texas has more land suitable for the cul-

Only baby,
Kissed and caressed,
Gently held to a mothers breast.
Only child,
Todiling alone,
Frightening now its happy home.
Only boy,
Trudging 10 school,
Governed now by sterner rule.
Only youth,
Living in dreams,
Full OF promise life now seems.
Only a man,
Battling with life,
Shared in now by loving wife
Only a father,
Burlened with care,
Silver threads IN dark-brOwn halr-
Duly graybeard.
Toddling again.
Growing old and full Of pain.
only a mound,
o ergrown with grass,
Dreams unrealized-rest at last
