In this connexion it may be noted that the West India Committee have published their correspondence with Colonial Governments on the possibilities of the sugar-cane industry extension, in pamphlet form. A copy of this pamphlet has bren sent by the Committee to the Prime Minister. Paper is being manufactured in Cuba from the megass of sugar-cane. The megass is carried from the sugar mill in cars to the paper mill where it is digested in live steam, beaten into pulp, treated with chloride of lime, and eventually made into the paste, which when run over wire screens dries as paper. The paper obtained from cane pulp is said to equal if not exceed in quality the paper manufactured from imported kraft stock, and it can be produced and marketed at a price considerably lower than that (]Uoted for kraft paper. The output is sold in Cuba for local consumj)tion. Further imformation on the subject will be found in the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts {or December 31, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Great Britain.
