Cotton Plant By-Products.
! >orfOlk Virginia Pilot.


The Nashville Banner is authority
for the statement that a company,
with capital stock of half million
dollars, has been organized in At
lanta, to manufacture paper from
cotton stalks. More than a year
ago announcements was made of the
discovery of a process by which the
fibre of the cotton plant could be
converted into paper of a superior
quality to that made from wood
pulp and at a cost eqnally as low, if
not lower. While there was general
recognition of what the discovery, If
all that was claiming for it, would
mean to the country, in lessening the
drain upon its dwindling forests, and
to the cotton planters, in giving
them profitable market for product
now valueless and allowed to go to
waste, the announcement was re-
ceived with more or less scepticism.
That scepticism seemed to find war
rant in the fact that no Immediate
steps were taken to put the discovery
into practice. The organization OF
the Atlanta company, however,
would indicate that sufficient conf
denee is felt in the process to give it
practical test. Let us hope that it
will prove successful in the highest
degree.
If the process and the adventure
should prove successful in the high
est degree.
If the process and the adventure
should prove successful, the result
will mark another step in the utili-
zation of the by-products of the cot
ton plant and help to sustain the

opinion of the late Edward Atkin-
son, of Boston, who years ago de-
clared that the cultivation of the
plant could be made profitable even
if it prodnced no lint. Since that
time the cotton-seed oil industry has
developed to such proportions that
by-product and its sub-by-products
increase the value of the cotton crop
to the South by several million dol
lars annually. 1t is not impossible
that the stalk may prove source of
even greater additional value.
To those afflicted with kidney and bladder
trouble. backache, rheumatism, Pineules for
the kidneys bring relief in the first dose.

markable healing and tonic properties. 80
