  "I 
  am 
  informed 
  that 
  to 
  properly 
  mature 
  dates 
  a 
  steady 
  sustained, 
  hot, 
  dry 
  wind 
  for 
  

   about 
  30 
  days 
  is 
  necessary

  that 
  this

  prevails

  "This 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  our 
  experimental 
  work 
  to 
  produce 
  a 
  light 
  bulky 
  paper 
  in 
  

   many 
  respects 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  made 
  from 
  esparto. 
  The 
  yield 
  of 
  fiber 
  is 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  

   average 
  of 
  esparto, 
  and 
  there 
  may 
  be 
  areas 
  where 
  the 
  plant 
  can 
  be 
  grown 
  especially 
  

   for 
  paper 
  making. 
  It 
  thrives 
  on 
  the 
  poorer 
  soils 
  in 
  this 
  region 
  (Washington, 
  D. 
  C.) 
  

   and 
  has 
  been 
  grown 
  with 
  some 
  success 
  even 
  in 
  Maine; 
  the 
  excessive 
  winter 
  killing 
  

   here, 
  however, 
  would 
  prevent 
  its 
  becoming 
  a 
  successful 
  crop
