Throughout Wlsconslnonthern Michigan and Minnesota are thousands of seres of marsh land upon which grows tall, rank, coarse grass, which la practically without any commercial value. Somerof the finer varieties are utilised as hay, although without any pronounced edible or nourishing qualities, and occasionally some of tha coarser varieties are used as bedding for stock, but as a rule only an exceedingly smalt portion of the million of tons which grow every year find any use whatever. . All this, by the aid of Ingenious machinery, can be readily converted into a number of cheap and useful articles of commerce, such as binding twine,' rope, cotton bagging, matting, and.A. substitute for carpel paper, and promises to develop into aa industry in which thousands of peopls will find employment, Tha enterprise is called a new one, although H has been in successful operation for ovar n year, but It la only recently that plana have been perfected for pushing It on an extensive seals.
