Mr.. Swanson proposed that divis-

WILL TRANSFORM
COTTON STALKS
INTO FIBER AND
SAVE THOUSANDS

Utilization of cotton stalks is pro-
posed by T. w. Mccall and G. w.
Schlichten, the latter of Ramie fame.
Mr.. Schlicten is the designer and pat
entee of decorticating machine used
il connection with the ramie indus
try. The shortage of fibre stock,
due to the internal troubles in Mexi-
&C, has caused great apprehension
from binder twine manufacturers.
So manifest has this menace be-
come that H. L. Daniels, manager Of
the fibre department of the lnterna-
tional Harvester company, came to
Imperial Valley last week and inves-
tigated the possibilities of the decor
ticating machine with reference to
cotton stalks.
\ small quantity of cotton stalks
Rad previously been sent to Mr..
Schlichten at San Diego. These were
r1n through the machine and excel
lent results were claimed. A large
shipment is to be sent Immediately
Many manufacturers are watching the

enc set of electors may be lower than
the low man in the other set of cleo
tors, whose party candidate has re-
coivxed majority of electoral votes.
Four years ago this happened, Will
son getting two electors and Roose-
