Crop Plants for Paper Making. By Chas. J. Brand. Circular 

 No. 82, Bureau of Plant Industry. Washington, D. C. 191 1. 

 Pp. 19. 



A brief review of the experimental manufacture of paper from 

 cellulose producing plants. The author has made paper from 

 various plants, but he is not yet prepared to state that paper can 

 be profitably manufactured from any of them. In any case, it 

 will be possible to find only a partial substitute for wood. The 

 circular is printed on five different kinds of paper: namely 

 shredded corn stalks (80 per cent.) and cotton hull fibre (20 per 

 cent.) ; shredded broom corn stalks; rice straw soda pulp {yy per 

 cent.) and sulphite spruce pulp (23 per cent.) ; broom corn soda 

 pulp (50 per cent.) and poplar soda pulp (50 per cent.) ; pure 

 long fibre pulp of corn stalks.
