it. By the time improved methods of forestry have
established an equilibrium between production and consumption, the price
of pulp wood may be such that a knowledge of other available raw
materials may be imperative.

Semicommercial paper-making tests were conducted, therefore, on hemp
hurds, in cooperation with a paper manufacturer. After several trials,
under conditions of treatment and manufacture which are regarded as
favorable in comparison with those used with pulp wood, paper was
produced which received very favorable comment both from investigators
and from the trade and which according to official tests would be
classed as a No. 1 machine-finish printing paper.
