A two-page article from Science (June 5, 1891) on Manila hemp cultivation in the Philippine Islands, based on a report by the British consul at Manila. It covers soil and climate, planting and crop timing, harvesting and hand-cleaning of the fibre with knife and board, drying, costs, labor arrangements, land ownership rules for foreigners, and 1890 export figures. It does not deal with African basketry or weaving.
