the use of the fiber OF the banana
palm, thousands of tons of which are
wasted annually, as q substitute for

banana fiber would be three times as
strong and last four times as long
as jute bags, he said Jute fiber Is
not as strong as It was 10 years ago

poorer. the reason being that natives

said. Jute Is raised In one country

the jute bags they need this year
Warden Henry Drum Of the state
prison recommended that Washing.
ton and California cooperate in ex.
periments with the banana palm fiber
Small quantities OF the banana fiber
experimental with at the prison have
been satisfactory. Sacks would be
manufactured more cheaply with
banana fiber than with jute, the war
den declared. Warden Drum recon-
mended that the Farmers Union take
up with the legislature the matter of
an appropriation for experiments.
The union will investigate.

The withdrawal of the Pacific Mail
from the Pacific trade ! looked upon
az very regrettable thing, contin-
ued the speaker, "and almost every
