has turned over to the new company

requested of the firms and individuals

KiIlinu Weeds With Paper.

The apparent success of the Eckart
process in cUltiv2ting sugar cane has
been the subjectNf much discussion,
according to the Tech Engineering
News, since experiments on large areas
have indicated that the cost Of grow
Ing the cane can be reduced from 80
to 40 per cent and the crop increased
by ten tons an acre, which is equiva-
lent to one ton of raw sugar. After
the field has been planted it is covered
with peculiar asphalt paper that will
withstand six weeks of weather and
that at the same time is soft enough
to allow the sharp growing points Of
the sugar cane to break through. The
cane grows more vigorously and the
weed seeds sprout at once. but the
weeds are quickly blanched and with
cred by the black covering. The pa
per is made by cooking pulp for IL
hours with lime under pressure and
then after a few days running it out
on the paper machine and treating it
with asphalt.-YOuth's Companion.
