In the demonstration. The stalks were

Judgment and care against taking

the printing establishments of Macon.
"A hne quality of roping and twine

IN quality for bagging and sacks also
came from the experiments and all
the output has been on exhibit sew
eral weeks at the Offices of the Ma.
con Chamber Of Commerce. Secre-
'ary Harry Burns, Of the Chamber Of
commerce has been overworked an
s"ering inquiries as to the certainties
ana the successes that have attended
the experiment.
Business men here and throughout
wide scope Of the State have all
ready been convinced of the merits Of
this new industrial undertaking ard
those who have the lead now are
meeting with little difficulty in ac-
complishing the work that will be- re
quired to set the enterprise on foot
All interested persons have a strong
determination to launch a large busi-
ness In the making of paper and other
materials from the okra plant.
The great problem confronting not
only the newspapers but the entire
printing trade today is the steadily
increasing price of white paper, due
To the rapid depletion of the visible
supply of spruce and poplar which are
the main source Of the raw materia,
for paper making. The knowledge OF
this condition has stimulated the
search for a substitute for wood and
various sources of paper stock" have
been suggested, such as corn and cot
ton stalks, many thousands of tons
OF which annually go to waste. But
1t has been found that, while there
are millions Of tons in the aggregate.
the yield paper material to the ton
is so small that the amount really
available at any given point is not
sufficient to warrant the erection OF
a paper mill.
1t has been determined from actual
tests that the average weight of cot
ton stalks upon an acre is $50 pounds
and the yield of paper is not quite
one-fifth Of the gross weight of the
stalks, while when corn stalks are
used, it takes the product from seven
acres to produce one ton Of paper
When one realizes the fact that every
day there are nearly $4,000 tons of
paper made in the United States of
which 1000 tons are used by the
newspapers alone, it takes but a sim
pie calculation to see the futility of
aHy y" aepehoence upon either of thes,
sources of supply. The same objec
tons are found 10 all others which
have been suggested so far, excep
the okra plant.
The experiments which have beer
carried on in Macon during the pas
year show that in okra the bes

: covered, has been found. 1t combine
