Hemp Plant Along Gulf Coast.

From the San Antonio Express
The valuable nature CT the work now
being carried on in Texas by the United
States Agricultural Department is again
shown by the discovery that the ''abaco"
or hemp plant can be successfully grown
in the Southwest Gulf coast country. FIX
periments have been carried on the last
year and the horticulturists are convinced
that this valuable addition can b. made
TO the list of Texas crops. 1t has long
been the theory that the hemp plant
would not grow successfully in any sec
ton OF ti.e world except the Philippine
Islands. Efforts have been made 10 trans
plant it to Africa, India, and South
America, but with little success. Hereto
fore Manila has had a monopoly OF the
hemp trade, and the finest ropes and cord
age come from that city. The hemp plant
is a variety OF banana aud has exactly
the same appearance as the broad-leafed
plants found growing ii many San An
tonic yards. II was quite by accident
that the discovery was made that the
hemp plant could be successfully grown
n Texas.
