Paper Making From
Sugar Cane.

The claim of a sugar planter on
the island of Trinidad that he has
discovered a practical method oil
making paper from the stalks Of
sugar cane, after the juice has been
extracted, has attracted attention.
The claims of the inventor are set
forth in a report to this govern
ment by CONSUL General Richard
Guenther of Frankfort, Germany.
The increasing scarcity of spruce
which is the wood most used for
making, paper is well known.
Active search is being made inmany
parts of the world for materials to
take the place of pulpwood. Enor.
nous quantities of ground sugar
cane 60 to waste at the sugar fac
tories. Some of it is used for fuel
under the boilers, but a very large
part is left to rot.
From time to time experiments
have been made to convert the
bagasse, or cane refuse, into paper,
but with limited success, commerce.
ally, unless the Trinidad planters
claim is we'll founded. He is con.
fident that he has made a valuable
discovery and has built an $500
paper mill as and adjunct to his
sugar factory. He has turned out
paper worth 1874 ton, according
to Consul General Guenther. About
a ton and a quarter of cane makes
a ton of pulp. 1t is reported that
the process of manufacture is COM
psratively inexpensive. The
planter claims that it will pay to
grow cane for paper alone leaving
the sugar as clear profit.
