They're out there.  Just ask Mr. Google.  He'll find them for ya.  Hemp is a good material to make clothing out of.  It is an environmentally-positive crop, actually improving the condition of the ground. It requires no herbicides and is naturally resistant to insects, fungus, and other pests.

Jute is a long, soft, shiny plant fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from plants in the genus Corchorus, which see for botanical information and other uses. Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibres, and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses. Jute fibres are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin. It falls into the Bast fibre category (fibre collected from bast or skin of the plant) along with Kenaf, Industrial Hemp, Ramie,and Banana fibres.

Jute is called different names in different parts of the world. For instance, jute fibre is often called Hessian Fibre, jute fabrics are also called Hessian Cloth, and jute sacks are called Gunny Bags in some European countries. The fabric made from Jute is popularly known as Burlap in North America. In Spanish, Jute is called Yute and Jute fabrics are called Arpillera. The jute fibre is called Jutefaser <<Translation... Jute Fiber>> in German. The Portuguese and Brazilians call it Juta. The Italians also adopted the name Juta, but the most popular name is Iuta and some call it Corcoro. In Chinese, Jute is called Huang-ma (黄麻), which means "Yellow Hemp", as Jute is very similar to Industrial Hemp and blooms yellow flowers. The Arabic world have found medicinal value of the Jute plant and traditionally they call Tossa Jute as Nalita/Nalta Jute and Mulukhiya.

Now class, as we can see here, Jute is indeed very close to Hemp.  I just wonder if anyone ever tried to smoke it or make teas from the blooms.  Hmmmmm.

[Ozark Tracker]

Just be careful in selecting the correct species of plant.

But the real question is, "Does rope contain dope?"  According to a 1970's giverment pamplet I looked at once, the answer is no.   But it might have been a conspiricy to protect the rope supply.

[Trinity]

Several hungry cowhands at the Ranch with No Name beg to differ. 

[Forty Rod]

Cows never had fleas or ticks until cowboys came along, either.

[Trinity]

Happy birthday, big brother.  What does this make it?  102?
