PAPER PROM COTTON STALKS. One would thinik that the byV-pro duet poissiblnhit ies otf King Cot tn had i i bleenl exhia ust edh, s(oli numeriouis areC the uses to which the' kinigly' platiit is put11 by the mnanuf'eaturinig genius oIf muan, bult it. nlow seems certacin that the cot ton1 stal1k, heretofore of no0 use save to be plowed under to give its unite of humus to thle soil, is at a not far dis tant day to be a rival of wood pulp in the manufacture of paper. Nor does the manufacturing uses of the cotton .stalk stop with paper. Cotton bagging and cloth cani be made from its fiber, and it is probable that other things, such as rope and cord age, will eventually be manufactured from the hitherto useless raw ma terial. Tihe cotton stalk paper mann facturing process that is believed by many paper manufacturing experts to be about to revolutionize the paper making industry of the world, is call.. ed the Croll process, the invention of Mir. W. H Croll, of Atlanta. Mr. Croll for more than fifteen years was a paper manufacturer in Terre Haute, Ind., and but a short time ago sever ed his connection wth a paper mill ini that place. Of his great discovery, he says: "tOn a trip through South Carolini1 J noticed for the first time the stalki of cotton standing in the field aftei the merchantable cotton had beer picked. My attention was attracted to it from a similarity to its twir sister, Flax, in the north. I pulled Sup quite a number of stalks, beinh satisfied that the fiber contained ir all parts of It would make a superi article of paper. In the early sprint Y of 1905 1 commenced studying a pro cess that would act on all parts ani fibers of the plant, i. e.; stalks, seed roett, bark, bol1l, cotton nlot mature. in -boll, leaves and branches. A fteo trying. different known processes fo: /other paper stock without success, combined and made a formula tha has rewarded my efforts. Samples o pulp and paper made by hand proces demonstrate beyond all question th feasibility of cotton stalks as mater ial for the manufacture of all grade of paper. By my process none of th stalk is thrown away, and the unopen ed bolls as well as the leaves an branches are utilized. In gatherin the stalks for use it will be seen tha no culling will be necessary." A very small per cent of the pape mills of the country are located h the south. With the use of the cot ton stalk as raw material for thi manufacture of paper, there woub seeil I i he nlo realsonl why a irgo per cellge of the paper mills of th colintry sihould lot he located in tihi sect ion. Telo paper industry is one oj the most important ones in the coun try and represelts it presellt Jinl in Vested capital of about $175,000,000 AMost of the paper mills are loeatei il New England, just as originally mo-W o the cot-toil ills were located there And just a,s the manufacture of cot ton ill te south, Close to the cottol field, is resulting in pulling the cot ton mills away from New Englan< anid locating them in the cotton belt where they logically belong, so will the manufacture of paper from cottor stalks eventually result in the con. centration of tile paper-making indus try in the United States. The great bulk of the paper in commercial use is manufactured from spruce woo(l pulp, and to supply the raw material the spruce forests of the world have been practically destroyed. It is only i matter of i few years until spriec fiber is at a great, premium, and the present hit-h price of palper is attri illted to the scarcity of this valua ble article of commerce. If the cot ton stalk will take the place of wood pulp, it is a great thin for the uscrs of paper--the newspa pers, especially-and it is a greal thin-g-for tile cotton farmer and th< soItern states. It. would mean mil. lions of new capital invested ill t<i South, and thousands of intelligen1 wager-earnrs given good employment -Athanla Conisfi.itution. wilv wv :- beenl lookinlg f,or man111 .vears sevim s b1)ou11t to be aecollplish (Id thle manuf111,1eVurIe of' palper frloml cot. tonl stalks.
