NO. 10 TOWNSHIP Crops are in need of rain. According to older persons this is the dryest year since 1881. But little rain has fell here since crops were planted, but notwith standing the prolonged routh the cotton crop is looking well. Os course there are Bome" fields that were replanted which have poor stands and can not produce anything like a crop. With occasional showers, we believe, there will be a nor mal crop produced. The corn crop will be short, the plants are dwarfy and can not produce a full ear.

They Are Now Utilized In Manufacture of Paper. Ames, lowa, July 21.—A ton of corn stalks in this region has been consider ed so much agricultural waste, but the chemical engineering department at lowa State College has found it to be worth, at present prices, about $l5O a ton when converted into paper. Prof. O. It. Sweeney, lias manufactur ed paper of n fine quality from corn stalks and he believes it can be made to match in quality any stock of wood pulp paper. Prof. Sweeney already has visions of paper mills in these- prairie states; bringing back an industry which the country is losing with the passing of its forests. The question of utilizing eorn stalks for the making of paper involves a uUm ber of industrial problems into which the chemists have been delving. Prof. Sween ey’s experiments show that by means of a chemical process worked out in liis laboratory, six-tenths of a ton of paper can be made from a ton of stalks. lowa produces between 20,000.000 and 25.- 000,000 tons of stalks yearly and the United States about 100.000,600 tons.. Oat and wheat straws have been used in the manufacture of straw-board but they are too sort-fibered for mak ing higher grades of paper. Corn stalks do not offer this difficulty, said l’rof. Sweeney, they being longer in fact than those of wood. Paper manufacturers wlio have seeo the paper made in the labora tory declared it ot be of high quality. The department also discovered a by product in tlie paper making process. The liquid extracted from the stalks was found to have high adhesive properties, wihch might be applied to new adhesive product. Bobbed Hair War {’loses School. Vienna, July 24.—A fight over bobbed hair recently necessitated the closing of the university here for a short time.

The girls were finally rescued by their brother students and sixteen of the reactionaries were arrested.
