Rice planters in the South are accus-
toned to burn their rice straw to get it
out of the way. We understand, says
the Mangaetursrs' Record, that recent
practical tests have demonstrated that
this straw makes excellent paper mate
rial. One paper company has gone Sc
far as to order some 5000 or 1000 tons Of
this straw to further experiment. Rice
straw may yet prove to be a cotton seed
in miniature. At any rate, the results OF
these experiments viii be watched with
interest.

Our first prediction was that the fol

We hit it even to the variable. She
varied from a frost to such hot night
that everybody kicked the quilts off. The
