Cotton Stalks Made Into Paper

With the diminution of our great timber supply, it is encouraging to note that the cotton stalk which for years has been considered utterly worthless after the fleecy product has been picked from it, can now be used in the manufacture of paper. This brings nearly all the cotton plant into use. From the fiber, cloth is made, the oil is now in demand everywhere, considered by many as superior to olive-oil; fertilizers and oil-cakes for stock are made from the hulls of the seeds, and now the stalk goes into paper.
