Notes.

For number of years the plant
known throughout Mexico, Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona as canaigre (rumex
menosepalum) and in Southern Califor-
MIA as the Southern California dock, has
been known to contain considerable
percentage of tannin. Particularly in
Mexico and Arizona has the root of this
plant been used for long time by the
Indians and others in tanning hides
and pelts. But it has not until re-
Gently been generally known that the
canaigre of Mexico was identical with
the common wild dock of South
ern California. The plant grows in many
parts of Southern California, seeming to
prefer warm, sandy soils. but not in
digenous to the northern part OF the
,, state. Professor Hilgard has, however,
successfully traneplanted it at the ex-
pertinent station at Berkeley, where he
has made number of tests OF the roots.
These analyses have shown from 80 to
45 per cent OF tannin in the roots-a per-
centage which makes them by far the
most valuable for tannin purposes of
any plant or tree growing, and carrying
or hemlock.
These facts have led Mr.. Richard Gird
to further investigation of the merits
of the canaigre, and his ambition to be
in the van OF any enterprise promising
diversity of industries and the pros
perity and upbuildiDg of this county,
has induced him 20 make practical
trial of the utility of the plant. He has
received seed from Mexico and will plant
at least ten acres of the canaigre, and
will give it thorough test in field and
in tannery.
The director of the United States ex-
pertinent station at Tucson, AriZ., esti-
mates the yield OF the tubers at from
| fifteen to twenty tons per acre, and says
| the green roots are worth not less than
| $5 per ton. AT that rate it will certainly
be most profitable crop. An English
firm has an agent in this country to as
certain if the roots can be obtained in
large qantites, and they are prepared to
handle thousands of tons of them. That
would seem to indicate that the market
for canaigre is good.
Mr.. Gird is peculiarly well situated to
use this plant to the best advantage. 1t
will grow to perfection on the Chino
ranch, and the thousands of hides taken
at the slaughter house west of town will
afford material to conduct a good sized
tannery, and thus make an immense
saving by turning out leather instead of
raw hides, the tannin all being fur
nished from the ranch. This opens up
large field in industrial economy. We
hope to see the day, and that not far
distant, when the Chino ranch will not
only supply the surrounding country
with beef, but will export leather and
leather goods on an extensive scale, and
large tanning business will be con-
Quoted. And then the cognate work of
manufacturing boots, shoes, harness,
etc., will begin. We have reason to
hope to see great industry built up
here on that line. Why not?-[Chino
