INTRODUCTORY.

Soon after the organization of the Arizona Experiment Station the at tention of the Station Staff was called to the canaigre as a plant worthy of investigation. Feeling assured that If the plant was of commercial value the available wild growth would soon be exhausted and at most would hardly warrant it's adoption by the trade unless d large and constant sup ply could be depended on. it was con cluded that the investigation should include cultivation as well as determ- inaton of the properties of the plant in other ways.
 For the purpose of calling attention to the plant and securing all possible data in regard to it's geographical dis trlbution and habits, bulletin was issued in April, 1892, stating the ob- ject of the investigation.
 Chemical examination was begun in March, 1891, since which time the work has been m progress.
 Members of tile station Staff have studied the growth and gathered roots from large area Of country, embracing the Salt, tiila. santa Cruz, Rillito River valleys, and many speci- mems have been secured from other places and from New Mexico and Texas for examination, and the wild growth and plantations set last fall near Dcming, and in the Pecos valley, New Mexico, examined by a member of the staiT quite recently.
 Soon after commencing the inyest' gation we were led to believe that if the plant would respond to cultivation it's production would rapidly develop into a large industry, and the inyesti- gations todatc fully realize cur expect atlnns

adopted at once by the trade if it were not for the fact that the present sup ply is limited and uncertain.
 MARKET DEMAND.
 During 1891 and 1892 the shipments of canaigre roots from Arizona, New Mexico and Southwestern Texas began to assume some importance, the Can aigre Supply Company of Tucson, and Messrs. Kerr of Deming, and Pepper & Thornton of Fl Paso, being the largest shippers. We have not been able to get data in regard to the ship ments over the Texas X Pacific and Santa Fe railways, but from January lst, 1891, to October lst, 1892, the Southern Pacific Company handled 37O car loads of sliced and dried roots consigned to Europe. As much more may have been forwarded by the other roads.
 These roots were gathered from patches lying within radius of ten or fifteen miles from the stations. and in addition large quantity is stored at the Extract Works at Demillg, ta be worked up when the factory is ready to operate.
 The ordinary method of preparing canaigre for shipment is for some one to locate a good patch, then with a force of men make a camp at this place. The men dig the root by con- tract. certain price being paid for the roots delivered at the cutting ma- chine. This machine slices the root into pieces sone-twentieth to one-fourth inch thick. These pieces are then ex- posed to the sun and air until dried. In this state they contain about per cent moisture and from 20 to 8 per cent. jamie acid, and can be safely shipped if they are kept dry. This is a cheap and efficient method, requir- ing little capital or machinery and being adapted to handle canaigre growing in a wild state.
 The supply of wild. canaigre is be- coming limited. Good authorities state that at the present price tife supply will hardly last more than two years. At present price" means the supply within profitable hauling distance of the railroads. If canaigre is only to be obtained from the nat ural supply it will be but an incident in the tanning trade. But if, as the experiments at this station show, can aigre can be protitably cultivated it will soon become permanent factor, with thousands of acres of land producing yearly hundreds of thousands of tons of canaigre, and the problem will be to get the tannic acid into the market at the least expense.

tity to Chicago and other places. and with the aid of chemists whom he employed succeeded in making an ex- tract of high grade.
 The establishment of the tanning extract works at Deming is largely the result Of MT. Denigs labors.
 MT. R. J. Kerr of Deming, N. M., who is engaged in gathering and ship ping canaigre, has kindly furnished the following information. He says:
 "I shipped the first carload ever shipped from Tucson in February, '1SS7, to Martin X Miller, Glasgow, Scotland. 1t was shipped in the green state and arrived there in good order After the trial they told me, while in Glasgow, that they ''alone could use ten thousand tons annually if it were possible to get it for fS lS40.00l per ton in sliced and dried state. In January, 1890, ''l shipped the first carload, sliced ''and dried, from here to Liverpool. Tn some unaccountable manner it got wet, and, with the exception of four .'or five sacks, was all ruined. then made continuous shipments the bal ''ance of the year with but slight loss. Last July l shipped twenty tons to Virginia. the whole being fer ''mented on arrival. This car, for some reason. did not reach the con- ''signee until several weeks after ''shiDment l made one shipment to 'J. X T. Grant, tanners, Woodstock, "Ontaro. Canada. and they were more than pleased with the results. lowing. however, to high freight rates ''it was impossible to supply them lat any price they could afford to pay. l found it hard to introduce it into the United Statgs."
 Among the articles which have ap- peared is one deserving more than passing notice: 'Canaigre, New Tan ming Process by Prof W. Either. Prof. Either is at the head of the Vienna Research Station for Leather Industry. and recognized authority in Europe in such matters. He has tested canaigre from the standpoint of a practical tanner. In that arti- ce he especially recommends it for it's Quickness in tanning, it's filling quail ties and it's beautiful color. He says: q consider this article especially adapted for tanning uppers, fine "saddlery and fancy feathers. 1t can 'be used alone or in connection with .othcr materials" He also states that at the price laid down in Vienna -lS norins per 100 kilos about s65 per ton it is quite reasonable. In fact he has everything to say in it's favor and nothing against it.
 The European tanners are awake to the value of this material. The German Tanning School at Freiburg, Saxony. mentions canaigre as one of the materials with which they are working and experimenting.
 In 1886 tannery was erected at Tucson for tanning hides with canal. gre, but owing to lack of proper man. agement and disagreement among stockholders the business was never fairly started. A considerable num- Der of cattle hides and other skins were tanned and sent to leather deal CTS in this country, all of whom rated the material produced as of tifc first quality

from Texas to the agricultural depart
 ment at Washington, but it was mis-
 laid and the analysis was not made
 until 1878. In 1889 Prof. Henry Trim
 ble published an article on Canaigre
 in which he gives it's history to that
 time and records some analyses made
 by himself and others. He states that Mr. Rudolph V2lcker of Galveston,
 Texas. published an analysis of roots gathered in 1874, giving 23.l6 per cent. of jamie acid Roots were exhibited at the New Orleans Expositicl labeled "A New Tanning Material. Since then considerable attention has been given to this plant and number of articles have been written, both in this country and abroad, in all of which it is agreed that canaigre is valuable tanning material.
 So far as we can learn the first effort mace to establish the value of canaigre as a tanning product was in the year 1882, when Col J c. Tiffany, then gov mcnt agent for the Apache Indians at San Carlos Arizona, shipped con siderable quantities of the root to Deming, New Mexico, and Fl Paso, Texas; to New York City, and also to Germany, Austria and Great Britain. The root was first shipped green, which caused it to ferment, and its use abroad in fermented condition destroyed the leather to which it was applied, which temporarily brought it into dis favor: but subsequently,, iu the year 1881, the root was shipped by one of Col. Tiffany's sons, in a sliced and dried state, when it arrived abroad in good condition, was successfully used in all experiments made, and immedi- ately met with great favor Nothing resulted from the efforts of Col. Tiffa- ny and his associates, for the reason that it was feared the root in it's wild state could not be secured in quanti- ties at a price which would enable it to be brought it into general use, and it's cultivation at that time was not thought of
 Not long after this Thomas Fitch, Esq. organized wealthy company in San Francisco. California, for the same purpose, but the enterprise was aban- doned by it's projectors because sufti- cient canaigre could not be found to meet the the demand which the com pany was organized to supply, the idea of cultiyating the plant not having occurred.
 The Canaigre Supply Company of Tucson, Arizona, first as a partnership and subsequently, as an incorporation, has devoted several years and expended capital in introducing canaigre to the trade. A number of small shipments were made to chem ists and tanners in this country and Europe for experimental purposes. Large shipments followed to meet the demand which resulted from such ex- periments, the product meeting with favor wherever used This company claims to have procured letters patent for a certain process of manufactur- ing an extract from canaigre. Exper- imentS made with this process are said to have determined the fact that an extract can be made from cul- tiyated canaigre at cost with which extracts of oak and hemlock cannot compete.
