of all plant growths. 1t is found in
annual plants like corn and cotton as
well as in wood. Rayon is made from
cellulose extracted from cotton and
wood; separated from other SUBJ
tances by a process of cooking with
chemicals.
"The problem of obtaining cellu-
lose is to find the process that will ex-
tract it economically from such by
products of farming as sugar cane,
cornstalks, cotton seed and oat hulls,
after the oils and other useful things
have been obtained.
There are several grades of cellu-
lose designated as Alpha, Beta and
Gamma.
"Rayon is made of SO per cent pure
alpha cellulose. 1t is really cotton
itself in a refined or distilled form.
1t combines nicely with silk.
paper pulp is not as pure. We
can use alpha that is only 70 to 80
per cent pure, which of course low
ers the cost Of manufacture.
ct is true that rayon at present
does not have all the qualities of
true silk, but processes are being
worked out now that make it very
nearly approach it. A fiber that one
can hardly distinguish from wool is
also being made now from alpha Gel
lulose. 1t is freely predicted that it
will displace wool, as rayon has cot
ton, in garments.
"The crux of the whole problem of
making cornstalk paper a commercial
success lies in the cost of gathering
the corn stalks in the field, and deliv-
ering them as raw material to the

plant. 1t must be done cheaper than
spruce bolts can be delivered to a
wood pulp mill.
I'VE have demonstrated that we
can gather stalks economically enough
to make ton of our pulp cheaper
than a ton of chemical wood pulp
can be made. Of course, the costs
vary with localities. We could not
go up into Canada, where the paper
mills are near the forests, and COM
pete with wood-pulp mill. But they
could not come into the corn and COM
pete with US. We have further adj
vantage of being closer to the markets
for the finished product. They can
not move nearer the consumer of pa
per because they have to follow their
sources of raw materials. We can
grows ours in the neighborhood of
the plant.
"We go into the farmers field, cut
his standing corn, husk it for him,
deliver the ear corn to him, then
shred the stalk, bale it, and pay him
for it.
According to engineering data it
costs the farmer at least eight cents
bushel Or $3.50 an acre to husk
corn. Some agricultural engineers
figure that it costs as high as II
cents. 1t also costs him 60 cents an
acre to get rid of the corn stalks af-
terward, by blowing them under or
other processes. That's total cost
of $3.50 an acre to the farmer to get
rid of his crop.
"We have succeeded in doing all
this for $3.50 an acre this year. We
expect to develop machine that will
gather, husk and bale in one opera
ton, after the style of the combine
thresher. This will further reduce
the costs. The price we pay for stalk
varies, but we bought some of it this
year for $3.50 an acre (about 1.25

tons), paid the farmer and his hired
help the going price of farm labor
for doing the work. Thus, he got his
corn crop harvested, saved the $3.50
an acre, and got market price for his
labor.
"We are experimenting with the
growing varieties of corn for our
own raw material. 1t can be planted
thickly in rows like silage corn is
grown, to increase the tonnage. We
are also experimenting in our labor
atories with the extraction of cellu-
lose from sugar cane, flax fiber, cot
ton seed hulls, and straw Alpha cell
lulose nitrated and reduced to WIS.,
cous liquid is being obtained mostly
from cotton now. But it can be and
will be obtained in the future not only
from these materials, but from pea
nut hulls, oat hulls and rice and straw
and hulls.
Don't think we have any idea of
Immediately upsetting the paper
making industry. Our output of only
a year or more could not even be
factor in it. 1t will take another
year to get our output up to abou
100 tons a day. Our gathering pro-
gram for raw material would make
it necessary to hold the output back
another IL months. At present we
produce about 25 tons of finished pulp
every "a hours.
"But in the next or ten years the
use of annual plant fiber in the paper
making industry is coming. 1t is GO
ing to be developed in mills located
where they can take advantage of
corn-pulp, such as in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota."
DR.. Sweeney estimates that the
utilizing of the cornstalks in making
cellulose products will add at least
SO per cent to the value of the crop.
