John d. Us,ery, the prominent planter
and scientific farmer, near Austin, Mis-,
yesterday LEFT at the APPEAL office Two
specimen wisps Of bear-grass fiber prepsred
BY himself, which equal, if not surpass, sill
other 6brous plants psed 10 the manufacture
Of cordage, bagging, etc. Although i. is ne~
to Mr.. Ussery, and he is entitled to credit
for the originality, yet we hear that the
preparation of bear-grass for such purposes
has been in vogue several years. 1t possess
es many features of superiority, one of which
Lies 10 the faat that each fiber can easily be
subdivided into az many as thirty.two parts
almost as fine as the web from the silkworm,
and then becomes adaptable to many pur-
poses tia. fax is unfit for. The bsar-grass
fber is much stronger snd longer than fax,
which Is another feature of its superiority.
Mr.. pssery states that bear grass grows p
taneeus and in Vast abundance In his region
needs no cultivation nor replantiug.
