QUESTION 7c. What do you Tcnoiv of your oivn observation of the influence of jute grown 

 near or with the cotton f 



ALABAMA. 



I am unacquainted entirely with the growth of jute. 'While I have never experi- 

 mented with a vine to any general benefit, yet, from casual observation, I think cot- 

 ton planted with corn, say in alternate rows, would be more likely to escape being 

 destroyed. This idea grew out of seeing some stalks of cotton come up from cotton- 

 seed used for manuring corn and allowed to mature, which retained its leaves and 

 made late cotton when the fields around were eaten clean. [Andrew Jay, Conecuh.

Have no personal knowledge as to the planting of jute near cotton to keep away the 

 army worm. Have heard of something of the kind, but placed no confidence in what

In 1877 I planted jute within 30 feet of a cotton-field. Worms did not eat up the 

 cottou until late in the season, but I can't say it was the jute that delayed .them ; 

 hardly think it was, as they would have as little regard for jute as for any other 

 weed. [J. W. Burch, Jefferson.
