tific methods into the agriculture of
India. The inert masses resist innova-
tion with conservatism born of CEN
turies of stagnation. The traditional
implements and processes of an early
age are still used in the tillage of India.
The plows and harrows and the ma
chimes for spinning and weaving are of
the rudest description. The natives are
too poor to buy improved tools and too
ignorant to use the better methods. They
have not analyzed thei soils, ascertained
the best succession of crops, tested the
different systems of fertilization, or i'm
proved their primitive processes of pre-
parlng and manufacturing their staples.
In fine. their labor IS unintelligent,
and therefore ineffective and unthrifty.
ern States with India greatly encourages
our hopes of success in this new industry
The labor of the South is far more in
telligent than that of India, and it is
constantly under skillful guidance. The
southern planters Will not follow an an
tediluvian style Of agriculture. In India
the best soil is usually devoted to raising
jute for the market, and the poorer land
is left for production of jute- seed. The
natural consequence of this course is
the deterioration OF the seed. In the
United States, in contrary, portion of
the best land has been reserved for seed,
and the result is a signal improvement
in the quality Of seed. Am erican lutte
seed is one sixth heavier than thai Of
India The broadcast sowing of Bengal
is uneven and wasteful. Our patent
drills saving fifteen or twenty pounds to
the acre, do The work with far greater
rapidity and equality of distribution.
The efficiency of our agricultural ma
chinery will more than neuGralize the
seeming advantage which India possesses
in the cheapness of it's manual labor. 1t
would take tens of hundreds of Indian
hands to do the work of one American
machine.
1t will be strange indeed if the mechan-
ical ingenuity which in some depart
ments of manufacture has triumphed
over the cheap skilled labor of Europe
and enabled the United States proftably
to export to the great centers of indus
trial art watches, cutlery, agricultural
implements, coarse domestics and some
fine fabrics, cannot win far greater
victory over the unskilled hand labor of
India. 1t is high time for general In

progress of naturalization should be at
tended by intelligent experiment. Tests
of every kind of soil and treatment will
result in better seeds, larger yield, a
rotation of crops that will be least ex-
hausting to the soil, machines for the
cheap and rapid removal OF the bark of
the plant, and processes of sleeping that

Jute Culture.

Jute Culture.
Especial Report OF the U. s. Department of
Agriculture prepared by Prof. S. Waterhouse,
st. Louis. MOI
(CoNTINUED.)
In 1870 the quantity of cereals and
vegetables produced in the United States
and requiring to be sacked before they
could be sent to market, was largely
more than 1,5OO,OOO 900 bushels. Ulti-
mately this vast mass was handled in
bulk by elevators. barges, Canal-boats,
railroads and steamship, but before it
could be brought from the various points
of production to these facilities of trans
portatlon it had to be enclosed in bags.
If it were necessary to renew these
bags every year, it would now cost the
United States 800, 100000 annually for
it's grain, pulse, and potato sacks. This
calculation is based upon the assum ption
that all the bags are made of jute. If
the material were cotton. flax or hemp.
the expense would be still greater. But
as the sacks last several years, the an
AudI OOOb 10 hDV PINOh'lf WV NUN Va WIZ
above aggregate. In 1876 the cotton
crop of the United States was about
4,50O, 900 bales, and at the ruling rates
The cost Of the gunny cloth in which
this cotton was sent to market was not
less than So, 100000
Unlike the grain sacks, the jute baling
cannot be used a second time, and there
fore wholly fresh supply is necessary
every year. Our native production of
fibers is greatly inadequate to meet the
demand. In 1868, the United States paid
1872, 900, 600 for imported flax, hemp and
iute. In 1870, the cost of imported
fbers was more than $50, 900, 900 in gold.
The quantity of iute alone imported in
1870 was upw ards Of $4,000, 900 pounds.
Yet these figures, although large, but
imperfectly indicate the demand which
there would be for jute if 1t were do
mestic production. The cheaper fiber
would, of course, be substituted for the
more costly wherever it was possible,
and accordingly jute, in consequence Of
it's comparative inexpensiveness, would
supplant hemp and fax in the manufac-
ture of carpets and many other fabrics.
For bagging and cotton baling, jute has
already almost entirely superseded the
use of the other fbers. But possibly it
will be found better, in order more fully
to meet the varying needs Of commerce,
to Intervene iute with cotton, flax and
hemp; and in that event the introduc-
tion of jute, instead of depressing, woald
stimulate the culture of these fbers.
But the vast need of our country for
grain sacks, cotton-bale covers and a
cheap warp for woof of other textile
materials will create correspondingly
vast demand for homegrown iute. 1t
will indicate lack of southern enter
prise if American jute does not yet rise
to textile Importance second to that
only of American cotton.
Heretofore the agriculture of the South
has been restricted to the produc-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-06-05

ton of few staples. This narrow
limitation of southern industry is an es-
sentially false policy. The South has
made the grave mistake of confning it's
activities almost exclusively to one pur-
suit But no country can realize it's
highest possibilities of material great
ness by following a single employment.
The urgent need of the South to-day is
wide range Of industries. 1t ought to
superadd manufactures to larger
variety of agriculture productions.
Then the competition of the different
occupations would impart activity to
business, give more employment to
labor, create better local markets, raise
the price of agricultural and manufac-
tured products. increasing the profits Of
workmen, planters, and manufacturers,
and promote the we'll being of the entire
community.
The introduction of the growth and
manufacture Of iute presents new op-
portunity for djversifying the industries
of the Southern States If the expert
ments which have been already tried in
the South are a safe guide, then the
profits of jute culture would amply re-
ward the American planter.
According to the estimates of prac-
tical experience, jute- butts can be pro-
duced in the United States for cents
pound, in currency, and the fine fiber for
8 cents. The average price of Indian
butts in this country is 3 or cents a
pound in gold, and the fine yarn is
worth or 20 cents pound in gold. Nor
is the difference between the cost of
Indian and American iute the only
source of profit.
There is a relative economy in the
cultivation of this plant. According to
Southern testimony, 1T is four times as
productive as cotton or flax, while at the
same time it takes not more than one
tenth as much labor to raise it. In the
manufacture of hemp and flax there is
loss of Is or 20 per cent of the material,
while the loss in working jute is only
about per cent. In our markets jute
bags are worth from to cent a yard
more than f1ax-bags. Hemp rots much
quicker than jute does. The superior
cheapness and durability of jute are rap
idly displacing flax and hemp in low
priced manufactures.
There are also important incidental
advantages of this tillage. The yigor-
Gus luxuriant growth of the jute almost
exterminates weeds from the soil in
which it is sown, while the bitterness of
it's juice repels the attack of insects. 1t
has been found that cotton fields sur
rounded by belt of jute were exempt
from the depredations of the caterpillar
while unprotected fields in the same
neighborhood suffered from its ravages.
The profits from the domestic manu-
facture of jute are not unworthy the at
Tention of capitalists. Eighteen hun
