Manufacture Of Paper from Cotton
Stalks,

The value Of tho cotton plant is
sufficiently appreciated in all parts of
the world, and especially in our own
section Of it. It is destined, how
ever, to rise still higher in public ia.
vor, Tor 1t is now ascertained that the
stalks, after the crop has all been
gathered, arc available for paper
making. We owe this to the inven-
tive powers and research of our towns
man, DIR. j. B. Read, to whom a pat
ent has just been issued for this new
manufacture. Okra paper, also pat
ented by this gentleman, is destined
to an important place among Ameri-
can manufactures, but we predfct q
still higher place for his last discoyes-
ry. We examined last winter sam
pies OF Okra paper made at' the
Chiclasabogue Mill, near Mobile,
and concluded at once that Okra pa
per was much too good for. ordinary
printing purposes. It. was like paper
made from linen rags, and will find
its proper place for book printing and
fine stationery. -a!. - =,
Cotton stalk paper, we learn, will
have more the characteristics of pa-
per made from common cotton rags!
Cotton and Okra belong to- the
same botanical order, and the stalks
having very silex in. their compost
ton, both will make soft and fexi-
bic paper. - -
Newspaperdom will fnd at last, in
cotton stalk paper, what has SO long
been desired, supply of cheaper aud
better paper, as the raw material is
almost without limit, and has hither-
to been q waste product. ol' >,
In the name Of the press, therefore,
we hail the new invention. The pa.
per mills Of the Middle and North
ern States must give inmediate -at-
tention to securing Okra; which they
can grow within sight of their milfs,
if they hope to compete successfully
with the South in the manufacsafe, ,6f
| paper.
The whole of the cotton, stalk,
without the necessity df' any sep
Grafton of parts, is available for
paper making, and no curing .is
necessary, save what it receives in
the field. Neither are there / re-
quired any expensive process or
changes in machinery. IT, isdevi-
dent that rags cannot compete
successively with waste field crops,
like okra or cotton stalks; neither
has Esparto broom any chance for
successful rivalry, on this, ssida Of
the Atlantic, at least, @ ,".,,, oJ,
This, new manufacture is, in opr
opinion, destined to rank in, ippor-
