OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OQOOOO0OOO00O0O00OO appears from recent developments that their labors and expenditures of money are to be re. warded with signal and striking auO' cess. Not only have these Investiga tions passed the experimental stags, but they are rapidly being shaped to be placed Into practical operation. How this new enterprise will affect the present manufacturers of paper re mains to be seen. More than 8278,000,. 000 now Is Invented In the 780 paper- making establishments In existence In the United State*, the value of the pro ducts of which In about *200J)00,000 an nually. Will Bring $100,000,000 to 8outh. In the first place, the practical ef' feet of the manufacture of paper and alcohol from cotton-stalk fiber will be to Increase the present value of the South's cotton crop by about 11*0,000,- 000; It will revnlutlonlz* tha handling of the cotton crop and aav* about $80,- 090,000 In freight charges; It will cheapen the price of paper, and by tha elimination of the boll weevil pest save about 878,000,000 yearly to the cotton growers of th* South. About 88 per cent of the fiber treated can ha made Into paper and about I per cent Into alcohol. The residue, after all by-product* ar* extracted from the cotton-stalks, becomes the/best known quality of fer- tillxar. The use of the cotton-stalks will sar* to the farmer the expense of gathering and give him a profit for the bringing of them to th* mill, and alao will absolutely eliminate the boll wee vil. Which is today the great peet of th* South. Thla latter will be accom plished by the removal of the stalk* from th* fields In th* early fall. Stalks Wasted Heretofore. The amount of cotton-stalks In th* cotton belt Is estimated at 80,000,000 tons, heretofore a waste product which has been burned annually, and It now will be salable at 81.80 to 82.80 per ton and manufactured Into valuable this company.
