Commissioner of Agriculture Wombwell has in
his office sample of extra fine FIBRE made
from The ordinary Bear Grass and which will
compare favorably with the best cordage fibre
to be found anywhere.
This fibre was grown and prepared by MIR.
McCannon, of Baldwin county, Ala, who, after
giving the plant and its manipulation the most
thorough tests, says it can be produced
at cost Of two cents per pound
and, further, that it is equal in texture, strength
and durability to the finest MANILA. The sam
pie in question has a peculiar oily, soft feeling,
and accompanying it is hard twisted strand OF
firstclass fish line cord from the same material,
showing most concusively its adaptability for
all kinds Of cordage, netting and coarse CLOTH or
bagging. This sample has been submitted to
number Of experts each and all Of whom pro-
nounce ii very superior article, one going so far
as 10 say that it is worth one-thrd more than the
best MANILA. The fine qualities of bear grass have
long been known TO many Alabamians and Flo
rdans, and it has often been made into pOw
lines, ropes, collars, SC, by the plantation ne
groes, but in such crude and imperfect man
ner as not to give a true idea Of its immense
VAlue ana DCOauuOu OuIy ucVclOpcu Lut
possibility OF its profitable culture in search for
something to take the place of jute IN the manu-
tacture Of bagging.
The plant is indigenous all along the Gulf
coast and the sandy lands contiguous
thereto, and when once planted needs no
further care than to cut the leaves, of which
two cuttings can be made annually, and the
cleansing of the fibre from the pulp. The latte
is the most troublesome part of the busine 50
and has so far been done by the simple macera :
ton of the leaves in water and the stripping of
the pulp from the fibre There is little doubt :,
however, that this can be done in a much more
speedy and less costly manner by properly ar
ranged machinery, and doubtless such machln-
cry can be easily and cheaply procured.
| If our people will examine into the matter they
will readily see that an acre of bear grass will
produce more than five acres of cotton, and with
less than one-h half the labor to cultivate and
I gather, while the bear grass will grow and
thrive most luxuriantly on sashy lands which
| are fit for other crop.
With plenty of bear grass we not only sue
cessfully solve the jute bagging problem, but at
the same time have the very best material for
cables rope, cords and twine at a nominal price.
So try it, farmers, and see what big bonanza
! you are leaving unwOrked
