10 has been stated by senator Fall
that fiber from this plant is not

should be made from the cotton itself.
This IS not an economic proposition
and 90 can be shown that DO is not

OF cotton Estimating from last

$4,000, 600 pounds OF bagging- should
cotton be used for this enormous
amount OF bagging, it would cost the
country the difference between o

from cotton. This would make an
