The Cassava Industry in Jamaica.
Although an effort three years ago
by Americans to build up a cassava
industry in Jamaica proved unsuc
cessful, it is announced that another
attempt is about to be made to arow
cassava on a large scale.
The American promoters (address
obtainable from Bureau of Manu
factures) have acquired a large tract
of land in the parish of Trelawny on
which cocoanut trees will be set out
at regular intervals on the same
ground with the cassava plants. As
the work progresses it «.woyosed to
build a factory for manufacturing
the cassava tubers into various pro
ducts, but chiefly starch, for exporta"
tion to the United States. Of the ex.
ports of cassava starch front Jamaica
in 1910, amounting to $7,947, t!\^
United Kingdom took $6,363 and the
United States only $817; and of
$660 worth of cassava wafers ex
ported, the United States took $519,
or 80 per cent.
Cassava, which is also known as
“manioc," r» corruption of the name
of the genus “Manihot," is eultivat.
ed extensively in the West Indies,
in South Amerca and jin Africa,
where it forms a staple article of
diet. In Jamaica cassava ranks third
among the “ground provisions"
which are the principal articles of
food among the natives, yams com
ing first and potatoes second. Both
kinds of cassava ate grown in Ja
maica, the sweet cassava (Manihot
aipi) and the bitter cassava (Mani
hot utilissiina), both being proli
fic bearers of farinaceous tubers u -
ually 8 to 10 inches in length and
1 to 3 indies in diameter. The tuber*
of the sweet cassava are eaten as a
vegetable lik.* yams and potato#:*
The bitter cassavi contains an ac.-il,
l nisonous milky e, vi.ich ahs to
bo :v i 'o.' 1 • . re*»ure titer the tu
bers have been washed, scraped, and
grated. Bitter cassava i^ extensively
used to make starch for local use
and in making “bammies,” a sort of
cake much used as a substitute for
bread in the southern and western
parts of the island. There is a cas
sava factory in the parish of Claren
don which manufacturers a variety
of products, such as starch. Hour,
tapioca, breakfast foods, cakes wa
fers, eassareep, sauces, etc. Cassava
wafers are rightly regarded ar a
great delicacy, especially by tourists
to Jamaica.
The imports of cassava and tapio.
<a inlo the United States during the
fiscal year 1911 aggregated 60, 915,
112 pounds, Paving an average unit
invoice value of 2.3 cents per pound.

Increasing Wealth of Texas. |
Recent figures compiled by the
Texas Commercial Secretaries 4nd
Business .Men's Association *4u}w
that the wealth of Texas increased
the enormous sum of $46, 672,000
during the month of April 1912. Con
stituting this amount is the produc.
tion of the soil, the earth, the wa
ters and the value added by factories
and foreign capital coming to Tex
as. The amount credited to each one
is shown in the following table:
Agricultural production. $1 7,037,000
Mineral production. 187.000
Factory production. . . . 12,600,000
Fish and oyster produc.. 270,000
Foreign capital. 17,600.000
Total.$46,672,000
The largest item in the agricult ral
line was that of onions, there being
nearly 1200 cailoads shipped during
the month of April. Other large items j
were cabbage, lettuce and other i
truck cropping3 amounting to over '
$2,500,000.
Reports from all over the state
indicate that never has there been
such ideal conditions in agriculture i
and crop prospects so bright. Govern- '
mont reports show both the Texas j
winter wheat crop as well ns live
stock in better condition than has
been for ten vears. Irrigation pro.
erts running into millions cf dollars
are being put on foot in the south
and western parts cf the state to
reclaim hundreds of thousands of
acres of the most productive land.
I'nder the head of minerals the
oil output was the most vp.lnaMe,
amounting to 930,000 barrels, valued
at over a half a million dollars.
Coal was next there being 37,000
tons, valued at $.725,000. The lar°rst
item of manufacture was probably
that of lumber. Work has been pro
gressing on a number of railroads
and extensions, especially in South
west Texas. A number of electric
iMterurban lines were tinder con.
s^ruetrion in \orth Texas. Others
are 'projected.
One of the most important pro
jects in the nature or improvement
of waterways is the dredging of the
Sabine-Nechos project i> the Beau, j
mont country and work on the Tex
as.l.ouisiana intercoastal canal.
In the nature of foreign invest
ments it is shown that approximate
ly seven and one.half million dol
lars was invested in county, district
and municipal bonds during the past
month. An average o* ^>2,t*U0,OOO per
month is being invested in building'
in our largest eities and rt least
half of this amount is foreign capi
tal.
A steady flow of foreign capital
investing in real estate and mining
properties is coming to Texas.—Tex.
