JAPANESE PAPER PLANT
TO BE INTRODUCED HERE
Thought That 1t VIII Thrive I'm Cali
fOrnin Piver Valleys and Be
Source OF Wealth.

The cultivation OF paper plants IN
Japan is a very important industry
As is we'll known. Japanese paper OF
various kinds is in demand throughout
the world. Recently American and
European manufacturers have been
giving some attention to the possibility
of producing from Japanese paper-pulp
some of the numberless useful articles
and toys similar to those in vogue in
the island empire. To that end Japan
csc paper shrubs are to be planted in
America and in the countries of South
ern Europe. The United states Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which recently
sent experts to secure seeds OF the nit
sumata plants, is to make extensive
experiments in growing this particular
ly valuable variety. 1t is believed that
this shrub will thrive in Florida, LOUIS
lana, in irrigated parts Of Texas and
the Colorado Desert and IN some sec
tions of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin valleys in California Should this
introduction of the Japanese mitsumata
plant into America prove successful II
will bring fortune to many farmers
Rice planters. particularly in Texas
the climate Of which. it Is believed.
will prove suitable TO the valuable
exotic-could set shrubs out along the
unoccupied dikes and on all the narrow
strips of land dividing flooded fields
and secure profitable returns from the
enterprise. The American experts. who
! have been investigating the subject in
Japan, are inclined to believe that
when the mitsumata plants are grown
successfully in America and American
machinery is invented for the conver-
sion of the pulp into paper. that pro-
duct will be put to many uses not
thought of in Japan.
The yield of the mitsumata paper
plant in Japan frequently amounts to
1000 pounds Of raw bark to the acre
The crude pulp is readily sold at 50
sen Q6 cents) the pound. The seeds
alone are sometimes quoted at three
yen (s1 SOD the gallon. AS many as
$4,000 shrubs are grown on an acre. The
harvesting is done by cutting the
plants off at the roots. The next spring
the shrub grows up again. In fact,
mitsumata' roots a century old, and
still sending up new shoots. are often
shown. The plant is highly decorative
and is grown as an ornament In some
of the gardens Of Japan.-BOoklovers

When the CoIored Fisherman Returns


It's a sight to sc a colored fisherman
coming in with a string of fish and dis
playing it to admiring friends along In
diana avenue. string of fish, espe-
cially If there is a good cat" or two
among them. makes a Bucktown darky
as happy as if it were a string of pearls.
The other evening just before dusk a
happy looking darky turned into In
diana avenue at the yellow bridge. He
had been fishing up the creek and had
a channel cat" on his string. the rest
being small sinners" He had no more
than landed in the avenue when a
crowd of darkies gathered around him
and looked at his fish in great admira-
tiOn.
Where you all done git 'em, Pete?"
asked one.
Way uD 'bove JacksOns Hole It's
scandaIous how dey do bite up dere!"
Then every darky laughed and Pete
moved on down the avenue. stopping
here and there as the admiring crowds
came out of the stores and saloons to
look at his string
He started in at 7:30 and at 10 o'clock
he was still in the avenue and had not
gone over three blocks. When asked
about it a friendly darky said:
why, dat niger won't done git
home dis night, shuah,"-IndianapOl

The Maine Farmer, today. will pre-
sent reports from correspondents from
all parts of Maine, showing an I'M
usually heavy yield and superior quail
ity all over the State Of the potato
crop. Rot is quite general where spray
ing has not been thoroughly done.
Aroostook county reports about the
same average as last year. the yield
heavier. no rot, quality superior. and
spra wing universal. Washington coun-
~ gives an increase of 100 to 500 per
cent. and conditions similar to Aroos-
took. Old sections report more rot.
Where spraying has been general the
yield is from 20 to 325 bushels per acre
of sound and high quality potatoes.
Large shipments are being made direct
from the fields at 30 cents per bushel.

PartrldgeS are reported to be wild,
this fall. and not very plenty. but
when one can catch them right on
Water street, it certainly leaves some
doubt as to the accuracy Of the above
statement That was what happened,
Yesterday morning and the man who
made the capture WAS VIM. Young, the
we'll known fish dealer When Mr..
Young came down to his market, in the
early morning. he noticed a bird in
the doorway of the store recently va
Gated by the Whitman & Adams Co.
and upon closer examination ii was
found To b" a partridge Mr.. Young
had no gun With him. but the moment
his eyes alighted on the game. he was
seized with Il desire to possess II.
When he WAS younger. it is said. he
used to be more or less of a hall play
err and with the old instinct strong
within him. he made d grab for the
bird in about the same way in which
man would scoop up a grounder out in
left field. But the partridge is very
agile bird. and when the mans hands
closed together the first time they
grasped only the empty air In tho
scramble that followed the h;rd was
finally caught. but she gave her captor
a lively minute or two. and if is said
that during the chase he executed a
