Secretary Wilson believes that it is
possible to raise the same crops in
Alaska that are raised in Finland,
where population of 100000 people
is supported by agricultural indus
tries. He has reached this conclusion
after three years of exploration and
experiment by competent agents.
While the area susceptible of cultiva-
tion in Alaska is very small compared
with the vast extent of the territory,
the agricultural possibilities are no
longer matter of doubt, the soil in
the valleys being fertile and produc-
tive. 1t has been shown that wheat,
corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, flax and
considerable variety of vegetables and
foliage plants can be successfully
grown in many parts of the territory.

New Methods i'm Paper Making

When we reflect that it takes the
wood from seventeen acres of land for
one issue of one of the leading New
York dailies, and when we consider
that the price of white paper is going
up gradually, the announcement that
other methods of paper making are be.
ing discovered will be welcomed. One
OF great interest to the south is the
discovery of chemicals that will extract
the fibers from cotton bulls useful
now only for cattle feed. The discov-
erer Of this method is a gentleman
who has long conducted a pulp paper
mill in Florida. He sold out his plant
when he found that his idea was a
good one, and he has invested his mon
ey in machinery and is proceeding to
make pulp out of the cotton hulls.
While cheap enough, it is claimed
that this pulp is of such high grade
as to be best suited for the higher grades
OF writing paper, but as it costs on
ly half as much as newspaper pulp it
may come into general use. This will
be Of advantage to the cotton planter,
as it must surely increase the value of
his product. 1t means, too, that these
pulp machines must come south at the
base of supplies of the raw material.
By and by there will be nothing wasted
from the cotton patch but the song of
the Negro as he works in the field.
Another method of making paper
has been discovered also in Florida.
1t is process by which pulp can be
made from the palmetto. The Pal
metto State can furnish palmettos
enough to make paper for many a
year to come.
What is perhaps the greatest discov
cry, however, is an improved process
of cleansing paper that has already
been used of ink and other impurities
and reconverting it into an excellent
pulp. Old books, Autographs, colored
prints, paper sacks, newspapers, and
all manner of waste paper can be pro-
cessed and turned into first class pulp.
Greatest of all, it will establish an
endless chain which will relieve the
forests of America from the awful
strain and devastation which they have
been undergoing.-Comm ercial Appeal.
