| have had the full care OF the patch,
which spread out, and filled up the
summer, by layers in the ground, and
grew it for fibre which cut the first
part of July, then five feet high, fine,
straight and nice as good for fibre as can
be grown anywhere in the world from
roots one year after planting.
The second crop have just cut on the
9Th inst, well matured and as high as
my head with my hat on fully five to six
feet high.
By the kindness of Mr.. VIM. Sander,
now Of the Agricultural Grounds [ had
permit to plant patch on the Agri-
cultural Grounds, near the seed house, in
heavy clay soil very much worn, dry
and hard. 1t was very lumpy when
they had 1t dug up for me to plant. Was
not summer fallowed nor cross
narrowed" and was planted cheaply as
fast as dug. 1t didn't cost half Of $50
per acre. The roots were furnished
from the Botanic Gprden by w. r. Smith
who says Was hington and New York are
the northern limits to grow ramie sue
cessfully and easily. commercial Y, not
botanically. These roots were dug up
when the tops had attained hegh of
seven to eight feet, out from the original
patch of 40 years growth which he
planted in 1855 and has ever since faith
fully guarded ard brought down % these
times and our Government Fibre agent
seemed never to have heard Of it
Now. when we speak of ramie grow
ing, we should do so-as it should be
grown for business-and that is thick all
over the ground, and from four to seven
feet high. At the right stage of ripen
ing-and that is when it begins to brown
at the bottom and before it begins to
branch out at the joints. Then we will
have only about five tons of green stalks,
and the leaves, which we knock off on
the ground before cutting, will amount
to about three fifths as much more or in
all eight tons, and this cut will produce
about 1000 pounds of decorticated fibre;
and this is all the farmer has to do; no
cleaning and no ungumming. Now here
in Washington / have grown the second
crop which is fully up to If not better
than the first one. They were both grown
in two months time each. The second
one lacked only one day of two months
but could have been cut one week sooner.
1t should grow thick all over the
ground, or in beds four feet wide, with
narrow paths between, and these only
need plOwlng out or cultivating. 1t
must not be grown in hills to be ''culti-
waited" for fibre. Any estimate in Cali
fornla of 10000 pounds to the acre in
two cuts is ridiculous. Mr.. E. w. Hill
gard estim ated seventeen tons "a, 900
pounds) to the acre the first cut, in Berk-
eIey, which was as wrong as wrong could
be. Of course he weighed and estimated
an old, hard, heavy, ripe stalk, too many
to the acre. He guessed wild. His spec
linen stalk, of course, overgrew long
time before the proper time of cutting,
and if he had extended the cutting time
until fall Gas it will keep growing all

estimates of the first crop and decreased
the second crop, which as it was, he al
