S|SAL CLOTH AS
RIVAL TO BURLAP

The finding of a cheap method of
weaving sisal fibre into burIap- like
fabric, as reported from New York,
presents the possibility to Hawai- OF
be coming independent Of India for the
sugar bag material used so extensively
here. In New York., Senior Eduardo
Perez de Lara, a representative of the
Henequen sisal Market Commission, of
Yucatan, is demonstrating the uti ity
Of sisal sacking, with particular refer,
ence to the usefulness and availability
for cotton bale wrappers and coffee
sacks. ~. 4eE# -, Il
OF his visit to New York and its
purpose, the New York Herald says:
lie has had sisal woven into a stout
cloth on looms in Worcester, SMassa
chGsetts, and the result is a fabric of
unusual strength which Senior de Lara
DECLARES is greatly superior to bur APP
made from jute. 1t is likely to bee ONE
an important factor in the market at
this time because of the scarcity of
the buFlaps made In India. The cotton
and the coffee industries and many
Others haye been much affected by tho
'Iiftierlty OF getting burlap from the
Orient.
The sd' fire is strong and wirelike
and is far lrss inflaRlnahle than into.
As the henequen plant, from which this
fibre is made, derives lite moisture
from the ground the fibre rcsists water
to fer greater extept than does lite.
SepOr de Lara IS arranging for the
purchase of machinery for treating, and
weaving the fibre, and he feels conf.
dent that the trade between Yucutan
and this country will be greatly in.
creased through sales of sisal. +,
There are exportea," said Souor de
Lara, "about one million bales of sisal

vester Company uses about seventy.

advantage is that II would advance the

One hears from many farmers thru
out the county complaints of a short
cotton crop this year and yet the gin
ners' report issued by the census de-
partment recently gives the number of
bales ginned in this county this season
up to November as ll.l4O, and up to
the same date last season as IL $50
Some farmers say there will be but
half crop and insome sections Of the
county this is true beyond q doubt. but
ginnings are keeping pretty close to
last years record. OF course this is
not . good index to the number of bales
raised for the reason that weather has
been good for gathering and q much
larger per cent Of the crop has been
ginned this year than was last wear
70 the same date. ANY way with prices
for cotton and seed where they are this
year the crop will bring farmers vastly
more than il did last year.
