The invention of a process by which
cotton seed hulls may be converted
into superior paper furnishes a quick
and prime market for this part of the
plant, equal to that which exists for
the lint itself.
The inventor, Mr.. r. Thomas. now
living in New York, writes a letter to

which already commands so large
