Series 51 contains the administrative files of Michael J. P. Malone who served as vice president and, later, president of The Kenaf Corporation. The files document the company's initial efforts to cultivate kenaf and produce a viable kenaf fiber in the early 1950s. The company switched to cattle feed operations after the kenaf experiments failed. Also included in the series are several reports on the potential of kenaf production in Cuba and Haiti and the proceedings of the World Conference on Kenaf held in Havana in October 1958.
