STRANGE PAPER PULP

The world shortage of pulp for} paper-making is creating a new demand in Britain for unusual raw materials in the United' Kingdom and from oversens.

Research chemists seeking to replace the 2,000,000 tons of pulp used every year by British paper mills are substituting the straw of oats and other cereals for the 300,000 tons of esparto grass im- ported annually. Reeds, covering an extensive acreage in Norfolk and Suffolk, are being converted into pulp and the possibilitles of bracken and potato haulm are also being investigated.

The Indian pulp industry is already using bamboo with suc- cess and vast quantities of it are available in Burma, India, Kenya, anti the West Indies. Experiments indicate

good potentialities in elephant and Tamboukie grass from Africa, and lalang grass from | Malaya, Ceylon and Papua, Reeds and papyrus from the Nile may also be of service.

The possibilities of such agricul- tural wastes as- cotton plant stems from Egypt, India and the 'United States; Indian rice straw; and the vast quantities of Indian, Canadian and Argentine Unseed straw are all being explored.
