of Ksing grass into paper palp, 3.. and subsequently paper, a simple. and economical matter.. grass, with which large tracts of b. Lower Barma abound, can be placed in the same category from an economical point of view to manufacturers as esparto gr288, and cenainly is much cheaper, though naturally the quality of the palp is not quite so good se esparto. Kaing grass, be it noted, grows wild which ca- parto is to a large extent, cultivar- ed, and chiedy outside the Em- pire. The London Times,writer's estimate of 12,000,000 tons of bamboo pulp per annum is a very moderate one. One interested in the project of turning Kaing grass into pulp thinks that 10,000 tens per month of Kaing grass could be exported. It is under stood that the investigation into the Ksing grass question referred to shove will result shortly m arrangements being made for the collection and treatment of Bärma

ing and other grasses for ex- tation to paper makers at Bame (Kaing gram in known
