Paper From Cotton Stalks

The discovery of a process by which the finest of paper may be manufactured out of cotton stalks means another source of vast wealth for the South if the product can be turned out profitably.
 If the stalks should prove one filth as valuable as the cottonseed, they would bring very considerable increase to the revenues of the planters and lead to the establish ment of paper mills everywhere throughout this section, which would be of incalculable benefit to the various communities in which they were located.
 It has not been a great many years since the cottonseed were of little use to the planter; now they are worth to him a fourth or fifth as much as the cotton itself in or dinary years The change has been brought about by the growth and improvement in the manufac- ture of the cottonsecd products and the vast increase in the demand for those products. If the manufac- ture and sale of paper from cotton stalks is success it will give an immense impetus to the boom that the South is already enjoying.
 Paper is coming more and more into use and as the forests disap-

pear t will become more necces- sary to find fbrous plants as substitute for the wood pulp. If the cotton stalk can be utilized for paper making, as is claimed, it will be, therefore an industry which will increase in bulk and value as time goes on. It is to be greatly hoped that the most sanguine claims for the new discovery will be realized.-Memphis News.
