ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1871 Ramie. As the culture of this new textile will probably be soon introduced among us, we deem the following information, mostly gleaned from a pamphlet upon the subject with which we have been favored by Mr. Cushing, as of sufficient interest to our readers to deserve a place in the Gazette. Ramie is a native of Java, and was first brought to Europe in 1844. Its botanical name is Boehmeria Tenacissima. It was introduced into the United States in 1867 and has excited much interest among European manufacturers who consider its fibre as superior to that of any other textile plant and have given every encouragement to producers in the East Indies, but still the supply is far short of the demand. Fabrics of the finest quality are made from it, excelling in strength, beauty and finish, the finest linen and rivalling even silk in lustre. The supply from the Indies is said to be inferior in quality to that produced in this state where the soil and climate are peculiarly adapted to its cultivation. The fibre of the Ramie, being enclosed by the inner bark of the stem is not liable like cotton to injury by the army worm, will not be hurt by either long continued wet or dry weather, and being perennial, not requiring repanting and being easily propagated and culti- the bark from the stalk; and the Indian government offered a price of $25,000 for a machine to accept this object. Two machines have brought out, that answer the cone One, made by Lafrane of New York turns out 600 lbs of clean fibre and costs $500. RECREATING — To the kindness Tustin we are indebted for the drive on Wednesday last beautiful home near the town Tustin City. We passed, on the location of Richland the latitude of our numerous towns, where waving corn-heads and the loft of the land agent. The irrigation of Chapman & Co., has had a positive effect in the vicinity, charming dry brown earth to smiling green. It is in contemplation this canal to Tustin City about further. Arrived at the latter found the new school house residences, the only buildings the town site. At the residence Tustin we heard some fine instrumental music, in the ex-which the daughters of Mr. skilled.

The fibre of the Ramie, being enclosed by the inner bark of the stem is not liable like cotton to injury by the army worm, will not be hurt by either long continued wet or dry weather, and being perennial, not requiring rep planting and being easily propagated and cultivated is grown with less outlay of capital than a cotton crop requires. The following general rules are given for its cultivation. Rich sandy or loamy soil is the most suitable for a nursery; for field culture the plant will thrive in any good sandy or loamy land. The land should be thoroughly broken to a uniform depth of about ten inches and well pulverized. Root cuttings should always be used for first planting. Plant six feet apart each way, three inches deep and slantingly, with one inch exposed above the surface. No further attention except weeding is required until the plants are three or four feet high when they become of a brownish color near the roots and are ready for propagation. The stem should then be bent gently down and covered with three or four inches of loose earth leaving two inches of the leafy end uncovered. Within a month, the layers will have made shoots and may then be separated from the main root and divided in pieces four inches long for planting in the field. Here the land is to be prepared as in the first instance and the cuttings obtained from the mother root planted three feet apart in rows four feet from each other. When well rooted, the first stems are to be cut off near the ground to force others to spring from the root and within four or six weeks thereafter the entire field will be covered with fine green bushes of Ramie. At first the field must be kept clear of weeds but when the plant has grown thickly, this labor will be dispensed with. After five or six crops the field will be as thickly covered as a wheat field, and will remain so for years. The rainy season is the time for planting in California.

After five or six crops, the field will be as thickly covered as a wheat field, and will remain so for years. The rainy season is the time for planting in California. When the stems are six or eight feet high the leaves will fall from the stalk which is then ready to harvest. A mowing machine may be used for cutting, the stem being cut as near the ground as possible. The fibre should be extracted before the stems are dry as the labor is easier and the fibre itself worth more than afterwards. Plants are not injured by cold unless the ground freezes more than six inches deep. The fibre is so fine that from one pound of it a thread over 10,000 yards in length has been obtained. Ramie has been introduced into California by J. S. Finch who, with Wm. Meek, has a nursery of it at Haywards, Alameda County, which was started in February 1879 by plants brought from Louisiana. It grows eight feet high in the southern states and yields two crops per year. Probably three crops could be grown here. There are no manufactories yet for the use of the ramie fibre in the United States but one is soon to be built and the crop which has been heretofore sent to Europe will be kept at home. The value of the raw fibre is quoted in the Liverpool market at $264 gold, per ton and it is calculated that an acro will produce a ton at each cutting, equal here to three tons per year. Much difficulty was at first experienced in separating the fibre from the bark and The spicy little Figaro cisco makes remarks in The Anaheim Gazette breaks out in great rejoice that "the entire De has been elected"—in Anaheim is elected Governor by in Anaheim.
