JUTE MAY SUPPLANT
COTTON in SOUTH
EXPERIMENTS IN RAISING JuTE
AND FLAX OPENS WAY FOR
TWO GREAT NEW INDUS
TRIES

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 1.-THE possi-
bility that jute may be grown sue
cessfully in the south to take the
place of cotton, which has been hea.
willy ravaged by the boil weevil this
year. is developed in an interesting
way at Triton, Ga, according to In
formation received in this city.
| A citizen of Triton has grown In
forty days in his garden some stalks
lof jute measuring three and half
feet in length The normal growth
of the plant is ninety days. The
stalks grown at Triton are said to be
perfect specimens as far as they have
developed. Investigation discloses
the fact that jute is supposed to grow
successfully wherever cotton is
grown.
India has always enjoyed mono
poly on jute because of cheap labor.
The full-grown jute stalk measures
about ten feet in length. It consists
of thin outside bark, then fibre,
then soft pth. The natives soak it
in running water thirty days, rotting
the bark and the pith, then go into
the water up to their waists and pick
out the fibre, which is used in max
ing rope, bags for sugar and cotton,
as well as a coarse filler in cheap silk
Recently, it is claimed, Cuban has
invented machine to separate the H.
bre from the stalk at once, without
waiting for the long, slow water pro-
cess used in India.
The possibility Of raising jute In
Georgia, coupled with the remarkably
successful experiments in fax raising
along the coast, give rise to promise
of great new industries.

HUNS USING PLANE
CARRYING EIGHT MEN

With the British Army in France
Sept, 18-Last night German airplan-
es were busy bombing the st Quentin
sector and the enemy utilized a num-
Der of new type planes of huge size
Three of these were shot down east
of Peronne. They were capable of
seating eight men. The most astoqnd-
ing thing about them, however, was
that they carried bombs thirteen
feet long which contained 1900
pounds of explosives This is by far
the biggest bomb the Germans have
yet produced.
