BINDER TWINE NEEDS
Uncertainty of Supply Causes
Anxiety in Washington.
Diligent Effort4 Being Made to Find |
New Soureea for the
Material. ?'
Washington.--The United States baa j
topf depended for much of It* sup- j
ply of hinder twine on henequen from
Yuen tan. The uncertainty of the sui>
ply tlnrlnjc tlio past several years has
caused serious anxiety lest there
should not ho enough binder twine to
harvest the increasing crops of grain :
In this country, and the United Btatea
department of agriculture |,as been
making diligent efforts to Ond new
sources of supply or new regions where
hinder twine fibers way be produced.
The chief of the bureau of plant In
dustry reports ? encouraging results.
The conditions in limited ureas, ex
treme southern Florida end on the
larger keys, are regarded as suitable
for the production of sisal andheue
quen fibers, provided the cost of land
and labor.Js not too high to permit auc
cessful competition. Henequen has
been cultivated successfully for several
years in Cuhp and the plantations are
being Increased, but thus far they pro
duce scarcely enough fiber to supply
TTfe cordago mills on the Island. Con*
dltlons are regarded as favorable for
the production of binder twine fibers
In limited areas in Haiti and over a
much larger area in southern Santo
Domingo. Experimental plantings In
i'orto ltlco have resulted In the estab
lishment of a commercial plantation
near Yauco and trial plantings near
Quebrandallas and on Mona Island
have given promise of growth. In
the Virgin Islands excellent conditions
for the cultivation of sisal have been
found on St. Croix. In the Philippines
the Introduction of modern fiber-clean
ing muchincs has resulted in increased
plantings ot' sisal and private capital
has bought and installed machines to
develop thr industry on a larger
scale.

UNABLE TO ANALYZE DRUG
Intoxicating Principles of Powerful
Narcotic, "Cohoba," Remain a
Mystery to Chemiats.
Wlif 11 Columbus arrived at I be is
land of Haiti he and his follower*
were interested to observe a curious
practice of (lie natives, who were ac
customed on ceremonial occasions to
make use of a narcotic snuff produc
tive of n sort of hypnotic state, with
\ is ion supposed to be supernatural.
Tile tribal wizards, or priests, while
under the Influence of (he drug, were
accustomed to hold communication
with unseen powers, and their mut
terings were construed as prophecies
and revelations of hidden things.
The snuff w'fifc called "cohoba." and,
In the form of u line powder. was In
haled through a forked wooden tube,
the forks being Inserted in the nos
trils and the lower end of the tube
buried In a little heap of the snuff,
which was held on a tray of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used for snuff boxes.
The mimosa-like tree from which
the snuff is obtained is plentiful along
the banks of the'-- Orinoco and the
Amazon. It grown in Haiti. Porto
Rico and other islands of the Antilles.
The seeds yielded by i?s pods are
dried, rousted and ground to yowder,
which is sometimes mixed with lime
from calcined snail shell.
Only recently has thM- tree been
Identified by f>r. W. 10. Stafford of tlie
government plant bureau the
source of (lie snuff, the origin of which
has hitherto been h puzzle. The
chemical properties of the drug are still
unknown and so its intoxicating prin
ciple remains n mystery..
