Show Paper From Pine A large part of the paper used to print newspapers cn in this country is imported from Canada. During the past few years Dr. Charles W. Herty, chemist, has demonstrated at Savannah that newsprint could be satisfactorily manufactured from Southern slash pine. The importance of this demonstration demon-stration to the South has not yet been fully grasped. This pine can grow in about one half the time taken by other trees being used in the manufacture of paper. Much of the unused or unprofitably used land in the South could then Ix profitably used In the growing of slash pine for pulp mills. |
