A short 1881 magazine article on jute, covering U.S. import values, the botany of the plant, and how the fiber is harvested and steeped. It lists uses such as gunny cloth, burlap, bagging, matting and cheap carpets, and notes that jute is poor for ropes. It argues that jute could be grown profitably in the Southern States and California to supply American demand, citing cotton baling needs.
