THE dwellers on the Florida Keys are
very much exasperated at the constant
theft of their sisal by Bahamians, who
visit the Keys by stealth and carry
away boatloads of the plant. Sisal was
first introduced from Yucutan about
fifty years ago, and now grows luxuri.
antly among the Keys, especially in
the neighborhood of Biscayne bay. It's
cultivation was seriously interfered
with by the civil war, but there are
magnificent undeveloped possibilities
an it. Yucatan last year exported sisal
to the value of $1,000 OoO and owes
her woalth in the product to cheap
labor.
