TO USE COTTON STALKS.

Cotton stalks that were formerly
thrown away as useless are now to be
utilized in making various fiber goods.
The machinery for extracting fiber
from this waste material was in
vented by textile manufacturer, and
is now being tested with evidence OF
success in Imperial Valley, CAL
Many tons of cotton stalks will now
be saved and converted into Irvine,
cordage and hurlap II is believed
that the pulp left can then be made
into paper pulp or used as stock feed
as tests have been made showing q
high per centage OF protein in tbs
cotton stalks. Cattle have thriyed OIL
a diet of which this was a part
Rame, hemp and bean straw also
have been put thru the machine ant
have been found to yield valuable and
abundant fiber
The present outlook is that all the
Pacific Coast needs in paper products
and burlaD for cotton bales may be
supplied thru the utilization of the
cotton stalks grown nearby in the
valley. Acres are being planted to
ramie and hemp, TOO. Hitherto this
fibre has been made from jute raised
in India. This brings a new industry
to the Pacific Coast region econo-
mizes where there has been great
waste and helps to conteract the
shortage in the usual raw materials
needed in paper manufactures
