Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Report on the Cultivation of Ramie in the United States, Vol. 7: With Statements Concerning the Practice in Foreign Countries, Cost of Cultivation and Percentages of Yield, the Machine Question, and Preparation of the Fiber for Manufacture United States Department of Agriculture, Office of Fiber Investigations, Washington, D. C., April 1, 1895. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the manuscript for Report No. 7 of the Fiber Investigations series, on the cultivation of ramie in the United States. The publication of this report is important at this time in view of the fact that there is great inquiry for reliable information regarding this promising textile plant, and also because the literature of the subject is meager as it relates to the practical considerations of culture, cost of establishing plantations, and possible yields of fiber. The Department publications on this subject were issued several years ago, since which time the situation has changed materially, and on many points the existing literature is now behind the times. In the present report, therefore, the aim has been to tell the whole story of ramie, the discouraging features of the industry as well as its possibilities, in order that farmers desiring to take up its culture may do so understandingly. I am respectfully, Chas. Richards Dodge, Special Agent, in Charge of Fiber Investigations. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Secretary.
