CANE-PAPER

ARE SUCCESS
0Iaa Manager Returns From
Boston Bringing Samples of
By-ProduCt From HaWaii's
Fields

That paper Of all kinds can be
manufactured at low cost from Ha-
waiian sugar cane bagasse, which fact
holds promise of furnishing a new and
profitable industry for Hawaii was re.
ported by c. F. Eckart, manager OF
olaa plantation, this morning upon
his arrival in Honolulu from Boston
where Tor the past few months he has
supervised the successful experiments
made along these lines.
Mr.. Eckart brought back with him
samples of mulching paper made
from Hawaiian sugar cane bagasse
which were of black variety but of
exceptionally good quality. The new
mulch paper is called asphalt-felt and
will be used t0' cover the sugar. fields
to hold down the weeds. The cahe be-
ing sitter and stronger is able to
break through the mulch Paper while
the weeds being tender are unable to
penetrate and must die.

now may be undertaken if the direct
ors OF the company deem the expert
mental results warrant it.
As to the cost of manufacturing pa
per from bagasse Mr. Eckart was 81.
lent except on the point that the cost
of making paper of all kinds from ba-
Gasse would be great deal cheaper
than making it from pulp. He remark
ed that paper Of almost any kind
manufactured from bagasse could
easily compete with paper made from
pulp or any other raw material CIV
the market.
Just what the directors of Olaa
plantation intend to do in the way OF
making paper has not been decided,
but it is understood that they will
build such a plant for mulch paper
manufacturing which can be enlarged
from time to time in case the need
is apparent and in case it Is deemed
advisable to go into the general paper
making business on a big scale.

that q wireless message to Mrs. Clegg
