grade paper from cornstalks have been completed on the Governments experimental plant at Cumberland Mills near Portland Me Samples of paper were brought to Washington a few days ago andare now im der test and further investigation in the papermaking laboratories of the Agricultural Department The experiments have been so successful as to lead experts to declare that cornstalk paper rivals that made from wood pulp for books writing purposes and other uses requiring a good grade of paper At I the present time the manufacture of cornstalk paper is too costly to make it available for newspaper use The Government experts declare it can be manufactured to compete profitably with wood pulp paper for other uses and that it gives promise of being more endurable than the paper now in use I The machine invented dy George Sherwood of Oak Park Illwas I constructed for the experimental plant near Portlandand the corn experiments will be followed by attempts to make a commercial product from rice straw Experiments I were also made with broomcorn but I were in no sense as successful as I those recently completed with cornstalks I stalksThe The experiments have resulted in statements by the Government experts that cornstalks can he converted into paper at a comermciul scale and that they offer a satisfactory and immediate substitute for pulpwood The recent action of Canadian provinces in prohibiting the exportation of pulp wood in this country has resulted in close observation of the Governments experiments by the financial interests and the new paper is being submitted to close
