PREFACE
|
|
|
|
Although the following Articles have most of them been before the public,
|
|
very few, it is believed, gave them at the time of publication, that attention
|
|
which their importance deserved; and many who NOW feel a deep interest upon the
|
|
subject, have not the means of readily obtaining the information they desire.
|
|
|
|
The attention of the Agriculture Public has of late been much excited in
|
|
relation to the culture of HEMP, but there are few whose EXPERIENCE enables
|
|
them to engage in the business with confidence of success.
|
|
|
|
The information contained in the articles here selected is valuable,
|
|
embracing the result of experiments relating to the adaptation of our soil and
|
|
climate to the growing of Hemp -- the method of preparing the Land -- the time
|
|
and manner of Sowing and Harvesting -- preparation for the Market, & c., &c.
|
|
These articles have been cut from different Newspapers, without any view to the
|
|
present compilation, some of them are unavoidably inserted without giving
|
|
credit to the Authors; but those embracing the most important information are
|
|
under the signature of Gentlemen well known, and whose integrity and judgment
|
|
entitle their communications to the highest confidence.
|
|
|
|
The insulated situation particularly of the Northern and Middle sections of
|
|
Vermont, must for a long time to come, render most kinds of surplus produce of
|
|
comparatively little value. hemp will be an exception -- And it is believed
|
|
that no country, for soil and climate is better adapted to its culture. Aware
|
|
of the importance of this branch of Agriculture, a respectable proportion of
|
|
the Farmers in Franklin, Orleans and Caledonia counties have commence the
|
|
business with a spirit and enterprise much to their credit. Establishments for
|
|
cleaning it are in a state of forwardness at Barton, in Orleans County,
|
|
Hardwick, in Caledonia County, and Waterville, in Franklin county; and one of
|
|
Hines & Bain's Machines will be put in operation in each of those places the
|
|
present season. At St. Johnsbury in Caledonia County, a Company has recently
|
|
been formed for the purpose of putting one in operation early next Summer.
|
|
|
|
These Machines are built at St. Johnsbury, by E. & T. Fairbanks, and
|
|
warranted good.
|
|
|
|
The following facts from the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury,
|
|
transmitting statements of the imports and exports of the U. States for the
|
|
year ending 30th Sept. 1828, will illustrate in some measure the extent of the
|
|
market for hemp. It should be remembered that "the articles imported into the
|
|
United States, are in all cases valued at their actual cost, or the value which
|
|
they sustain in the foreign port from whence they are imported into the United
|
|
States, are in all cases valued at their actual cost, or the value which they
|
|
sustain in the foreign port from whence they are imported into the U. States,
|
|
free of any subsequent charge whatever." The aggregate, therefore, paid in our
|
|
ports for hemp and flax, and for manufactures of hemp and flax, may be safely
|
|
estimated at Ten Millions of Dollars, annually.
|
|
|
|
It is a rational presumption that the consumption of hemp will be greatly
|
|
increased; not only from the consideration of an increased population, but from
|
|
the fact that the recent improvements in spinning and manufacturing it will
|
|
render hempen goods a cheap and comfortable article for domestic use --
|
|
superseding in great measure the use of cotton sheetings and shirtings in the
|
|
Northern States -- and probably, at no distant period, a profitable article for
|
|
exportation. It may not be improper here to remark, that of the article entered
|
|
as "Linens", a large proportion of those not exceeding fifty cents per yard,
|
|
are manufactured from hemp.
