Smithsonian Report, 1957.— McClure 



PLATE 2 



1. At the recently completed Karnaphuli Paper Mill, East Pakistan, bamboo will be used 

 to produce 100 tons of pulp per day. Equipment shown was specially designed to lift 

 rafted bundles of bamboo from the river to the flume, by way of which they will reach 

 the mill. 



2. Although the bamboo withes from which they are made appear frail and inconsequential, 

 these baskets effectively stabilize a footbridge of field stones near Kao-dien, Hupeh 

 Province, China. (Photograph by F. N. Meyer, from the U. S. Department of Agri-
