Corn Paper
Product Made of Stalks;
Vast Possibilities Seen
in New Process.
DAWN of a new era for the mid

DAWN of a new era for the mid
~ die west farm was signalized
today with the appearance Of the
Prairie Farmer, with Offices at II
West Market street, printed on
corn-stalk paper, the first CONNER
cial use Of the product of a revolu-
Lionary pl ocess.
The paper made from corn-stalkS
of Indiana and Illinois farmers, also
will be used in Sundays issue of the
Danville qll) Commercial News
and next week New York news
paper will try it out.
Chemists for many years have
been attempting to find some prac-
tical Use for dried cornStalkS.
The farm paper halls its own sue
ceSstul use of the new product as
proof that profitable market for
hitherto waste material has been
opened.
TINE farm paper predicts that
Il rayon, insulating material, lac
quer, artificial leather and many
other things soon will be manufac-
tured from cornStalkS.
Perfection of a process for reduc-
ing corn stalks to celluloSe, the basic
chemical compound which makes
up the skeleton of all plant Struc-
lures paved the way for making
paper.
Cellulose is the chief constituent
in rayon, films, insulating material,
cardboard, explosives, absorbent,
lacquer, radio dials and boards,
combs, artificial leather and a host
of other manufactured products.
The process which has proven
successful in the middle west has
lain undeveloped in Europe, through
lack of capital for several years.
Twenty years ago young Hungar-
ian chemist Bella Dorner, began re-
search which led in 1912 to discov-
cry of a way to get the celluIose
from corn stalks.
TWO years ago Frank K. Gard
l. ner, native Hoosier, met Dor
ner while waiting for a train in
Budapest while ON a mission for a
New York bond house. Gardner, a
chemist, instantly recognized pos
Sibilities, got out of the bond bust
ness as quickly as possible, talked
a New York Chicago financial syn
dictate into backing the project and
brought Dorner and an assistant to
this country.
+ The result is a factory producing
ten tons day of corn-stalk paper
pulp which is sent on to paper mills
for rolling into paper. The factory
is at Danville, Ill, close enough to
Hoosier farmers to provide an eco
nomical market.
Makers of the corn-Stalk paper
say experiments prove it has twice
the tensile strength of wood-pulp
paper.
This would be valuable advan-
tage for newspapers and magazines,
since paper breakage is one of the
most annoying problems in speedy
production.

likewise became the champions of
Cameron county by defeating San
Benito and Brownsville. McAllen
Pups then met ard defeated Harlin-
gen by the score Of IL TO O.. This
determined the championship of the
two counties.
Later McAllen juniors played u
game with the Brownsville juniors
that had no bearing on the champ
ionship since Brownsville had al
ready been eliminated. Harrington
still laws claim to the championship
OF Cameron county and there Il no
question about the championship OF
Hidalgo county. and since McAllen
has met and defeated Harlingen the
~bicounty championship is detern-
ined.
However, IL Brownsville or Har-
lingen should lay claim 4 champ-
ionship upon the percentage basis.
then McAllen has the better OF the
contest. The Pups have played 8
games and had one forfeited to
them; HnrlinRen has plsyed q
games. ard Brownsville has PLAYED
only three. Each team has been de-
feated n time. This gives the Me-
