TO UTILIZE MARSH GRASS.
Company Formed to Manufacture from
1t Twine, Rope and Mating.

1t Twine, Rope and Mating.
The tendency SO characteristic of the
present age to put to practical use
what has heretofore been considered
largely waste or useless material has
found fresh exemplifcation in a new
enterprise, at the head of which Is ex-
Senator Warner Miller Of New York.
Throughout Wisconsin, southern Mlchl-
gan and Minnesota are thousands OF
acres of marsh land upon which grows
tall, rank, coarse grass, which is prac-
tically without any commercial value.
Some of the finer varieties are utilized
as hay, although without any pro-
nounced edible or nourishing qualities,
and occasionally some Of the coarser
varieties are used as bedding for STOCK.
but as rule only an exceedingly small
portion of the million Of tons which
grow every year finds any use what
ever. All this, by the aid OF ingen1-
Gus machinery, can be readily con-
verted into a number of cheap and
useful articles Of commerce, such as
binding twine. rope, cotton bagglng,
udlllUS, ana d SUBSTITUTE Iol NoAP
paper, and promises to develop into an
industry in which thousands of people
will find employment. The enterprise
is called a new one, although it has
been in successful operation for over
year but it is only recently that plans
have been perfected for pushing it on
an extensive scale. Within the last
| few weeks the large plant OF the
| Northwestern Cordage company of St.
Paul has been purchased by the new
company, and is being put in shape for
handling the product, while contracts
have already been made for $4,000 or
10000 tons of marsh grass for use dur
ing the coming season. The grass,
which will be mostly used, is what is
known as wire" grass, which has a
tough, hard, round stem, and is abso-
lutely without any value as a food
product. This can be made into a
binding twine, which is said to be full
ly equal to that made from Manila
