JAPANESE PAPER PLANT
The conversation here turned TO tht
japanese paper plants which are being
brought to the United States The
japanese make the finest papers OF The
world. They have some which look
like silk, so strong that large sheet
will support the weight of the average
man. They have the finest OF Tissue
papers, some of which are imported by
opticians for wiping lenses and glasses
and the dentists all over the couRtrT
dry out the cavities in teeth, preparh-
tory to filling them with gold, with a
porous paper made in Japan Mr..
Fairchild showed me samples Of son1s.
of these papers, and, among otheE
things, what looked like a leather purt-
folio, which would, / suppose, psst a.
least IS at any notion store IN ibis
country 1t was made of paper In
stead of leather. and l was told it baS
cost just IS cents.
THE Japanese papers" said ny
Fairchild. come from different sources
but chiefly from the mitsumats IBs1gIs
which covers the hilIsides and IS aAa@9
grown between the rice fields through
out central Japan. 1T is a perennfaa
shrub with long, lance-shaped 3eaVsE.
and yellow flowers. It's bark has i0TS
delicate ffbers. and it is secured by Gull
ting the plant and stripping off Ghs
bark. which is then macerated apE
made into paper.
This plant could be grown IN The
United states, and it might be harvest
ed by machinery. The plants are groHE-
from the seed and afterward set out ana
cultivated. They are cut off from YesE-
to year. other sprouts coming up for
another crop"
