MITsUMATA EXPERIMENTS.
Japanese Plant Cut OF which Good
Paper IL Made May BE IntFO-
ducad IN the south.

Interesting experiences are now be-
ing carried on by the department Of
agriculture with a new paper plant
from Japan, called mitsumata- The
experiments are the result Of one Of
the trips Of Barbour Lathrop. Of Chi
cago, and d. G. Fairchild, foreign
agent for the department to Japan
and other foreign countries In search
Of plants for the government
Mitsumata is adapted to warmer
parts Of the country and Is one Of the
most valuable plants known for the
production Of bark paper, 90 much
used by the japanese. Il offers an en-
tirely new crop TO the south II Il can
be successfully raised here. Forty
two million japanese live upon the
revenue created by manufacturing pa
per, and most Of the product Is manu-
factured from bark cultivated upon an
area about one-third the size Of the
state Of Illinois.
The mitsumata plant fourishes upon
land too poor for rice growing. Is es-
pecially adapted to clay soil and from
900 to 1000 pounds Of raw bark are
produced upon q single acre. This
pulp Is worth In japan from Is to 16
