corning the UNCONVENTIONAL situation
which were made at the general as.
sembly at De3 MoinCs, Iowa, IN May

that the Presbyterian church had
broken its record for enrolled com
munlcant members, passing the NIL
lion and three.quartCr mark. ana us
record for Sunday school enrolment
the highest in It's history The church
had held its own in spite OF the
strinsClcies of the year and made a.
$500 600 increase in total contribu'
tions TIE total contributions through
the year b. Presbyerians for all pur-I
poses were S41,3ii,00O or this
amount $ll0O0.000 was reported
raised for the de1ominational bencyo'I
lencr budget Of $1,000, l00 or 81 per

been paid in through degominational

find wide use in all parts of the East.
Any one who has used a bamboo
handled broom will appreciate it's
iightness and the smooth finish to its
surface, while the split strands of
bamboo are so stiff and elastic that
they have been used most successfully
in broom making-they may even COM
pete with the broom-corn straw for
broom manufacture.
Who knows but that the paper sup
ply of the future may come largely
from bamboo Paper is made from
the young stems in both the East and
West Indies and in China.
1t seems as if bamboo could be
found for many kinds of climates.
The bamboo is found in India, China,
Japan and in Africa and tropical
America. There are about 200 vari-
cites. Many species do well in Eng
lish gardens. The extensive cane
brakes of southern United States are
a kind of native bamboo-Arundinaria
Macros-perma. In short, it will APP
parently grow freely anywhere in trop-
ical and subtropical climates.
Every angler with any pride in his
tackle has a split-bamboo rod. 1t
makes no difference whether he is fly
caster or bait-caster. If he is both,
he has two split-bamboo rods. The
bamboo is imported and the rods are
made in this country. At rod making
the American leads the world. 1t
would be no small matter if the bam-
boo for these millions of rods were
grown in this country.
While these are a few of the OBJ
vious uses which will probably be first
investigated by Americans, it is incon-
ceivable that the ingenuity of the
American will not find new uses for
so unique raw product as the bam-
boo. The grove at Savannah may
play most important role in the edu-
cation of the people of this continent
in the uses and beauty of this re-
markable plant.
Surely, with the increasing depletion
of our forests and the exceedingly
high cost of lumber and timber in
many places where the local supply
has been exhausted, the possibilities of
the bamboo are well worth thorough
investigation. Doubtless it may not
be as good as our natural woods, but
ii is, likely that it can be used as
fairly satisfactory substitute.
