10 the deSlfaOll1Cy from every stand
point Of paper made from these
stalks. In fact, expert chemists and
men familiar with the requirements
of paper stock have long been agreed
that the very best cellulose for max
ing a durable book paper would come
from the fiber of the cotton plant.
You see, this fiber is a thin walled
tube which collapses in a peculiar,
twisted manner in the beating proc
ess, interlaces in the telling process
much better than other fibers, and
holds its grasp tenaciously. It is both
strong and flexible.
con this trip I collected quite a
bundle Of the stalks. [ tried on these
every known process used in the
preparation Of other paper stock, but
without success. In order to be prac-
ticable, I knew that some way must
be found by which the entire plant
could be utilized. There are ten dis
tinct parts Of this plant, that is: the
stalk, root, branches, leaves, boil, cot
ton not matured in the boil, seed, oil
in the seed, bark, and pith in stalk. I
knew also that the process must be
such as to prevent excessive waste in
the stock.
" 1t seems a long time that I have
been working on this, even when you
only count the years, and, when I
think of the many, many disappoint-
ments, the numberless times when [
seemed right on the point of finding
what | sought, [ feel that [ must have
spent a lifetime at least before 7
finally did hit upon the right combina-
tlon-and [ know that it is right, be-
cause samples Of the pulp and paper,
made both by hand and on a regular
paper machine demonstrate beyond
question the feasibility of cotton
stalks as material for the manu-
facture of paper of all grades, from
the hight fllmsy quality to the heavy,
coarse wrapping paper; and, later
on, when the wood is all gone, it is
the only material that will take it's
place for the manufacture of news.
paper, book paper, fine writing paper
in fact, paper for every use.''
By this process no parts of the
stalks are thrown away The I'M
opened hollis, as we'll as the roots,
leaves, and branches are utilized, so
that, in gathering the stalks, no Gull
ing will be necessary; nor will it be
necessary to provide any special ma
chinery, the ordinary equipment of
any up to date paper mill being all
that is required
There is no question as to the sup
ply Of raw material being practically
lnexhaustible. There are enough cot
ton stalks grown each year to supply
pulp for more than twice the amount
OF paper we use, figured on the basis
OF allowing one and half tons for
each ton of paper.

appears little, if any, possible con-
nection between the industrial prob
lens that beset the people of these
two widely separated States-yet, the
connection is there, and
But let's look closer. Urged by a
steadily growing demand for paper,
the forests of the one State are dis
appearing at rate to cause the most
serious apprehension. So serious, in
fact, that tardy government is now
taking measures to preserve at least
a remnant Of what seemed at first to
be an inexhaustible supply Of timber.
It is estimated that there is barely
sufficient supply Of spruce pine to
last for three years more at the pres
ent rate Of consumption, and, when
you consider that it requires twenty
eight acres Of this wood to furnish
the pulp to make paper for one edi-
ton Of large metropolitan newspa-
per, you may possible get some idea
of the acreage that must be cut over
every year to secure pulp wood for
the stock on which we print our in
Vulnerable papers, magazines, and
books, aside from the enormous guam
titles used in other ways.
Only the other day one of the best
informed writer's Of our time pre-
dicted that, unless something was
done to provide substitute for wood
pulp, we would, within a few years,
be paying ten cents for newspaper
and fifty cents for a magazine. The
owner Of a popular magazine printed
two pages in a recent issue, on black
paper, with white ink, with the ac-
companying prophecy that this would
be the style in which we might ex-
pect to receive the newspaper of the
future, unless something was dis
covered to take the place Of wood in
the manufacture Of paper.
Canada, profting by the example
of her reckless neighbor, and fore
seeing the same devastation Of her
own forests, is endeavoring to safe
guard her own interests by prohibit
ing the export Of wood for pulp.
To add to this, forest fires, extend
ing from Maine to Michigan, have
been far more destructive than ever
before-the loss from this source
alone amounting to millions upon
millions Of cords.
This, then, is the problem of the
one section-to supply pulp wood,
despite these handicaps, with which
to meet the insistent demands for
paper. Paper we must and will have.
It's use marks the progress of a ma
ton s civilization.
Now, look at Mississippi-an ugly
little bug, with case-hardened COW
ering and boring machine head, has
marched triumphantly and all too
rapidly across Texas, through Louis
lana and found lodging within her
borders-and this, too, regardless of

ment scientists and all the planters

the greater portion of the crop has
been picked and burn them, not wait
ing to secure the late top crop, which

complete ruin faces the cotton plant
er.
There you have the problem of the
other section-the determination of
the boil weevil. Both of these are so
worldwide in their effects that thew
must necessarily touch at some point,
yet, even in this day, when the occur
renee Of the merely unexpected has
become commonplace, if you are told
that with the solution of the one
problem the other will disappear, that
this can be done not only without
cost, but that its full accomplishment
will add more than fifty millions of
dollars annually to the wealth of this
country, you will hardly grasp it fully
at first, and the chances are that,
when you do, the overworked adiec
tive wonderful" will be called forth
for further duty. Now up comes a
man, w. Fl. Croll, with a process for
manufacturing paper from cotton
stalks.
The United States uses annually
about four million tons of paper of
all kinds, and when it is known that
, there are enough cotton stalks grown
every year in the South to make
eight million tons, the result is OBJ
vious. Furthermore, grinding the
stalks, leave, roots, and unopened
bolls Of cotton into pulp will effec-
tually destroy the boil weevil. Be-
yond this, the use of this waste is an
additional source of revenue to the
cotton grower. The average produc-
ton is one ton of stalks for each bale
of cotton, and the farmer can get
from three to five dollars per ton to
gather and deliver these stalks, which
would mean thirty-six to sixty mil
lion of dollars added each year to the
cotton growers of the country.
Mr.. Croll, the inventor of this new
process of making paper, had, up to
1902, long been engaged in the manu-
facture Of paper, and, when he first
saw cotton plant, he was impressed
with the possibility of it's containing
suitable fiber for paper, and COM
menced the experiments which have
just been made commercial posi-
bihty. The paper has been made and
it is only question of short while
when, it is claimed by the new manu-
facturers, it will be on the market.
"What particularly attracted my
attention." said the inventor, "to the
cotton stalk was it's similarity to fax.
[ knew that the fiber must be there,
because experts had been engaged for
years trying to solve the practical
features in the use of these stalks
for paper making. The problem has
