FRENCH PAPER MAKERS
TO USE GRASS AS BASE
New Method Is Tried To Solve
Question of Getting More
Pulp; Material Is Scarce.
WASHINGTON, June 21. The
French paper industry is gradually
emerging from the crisis caused by
the difficulty in obtaining raw mater

paper pulp from plants, and especially
from esarto or alfa grass, which is
found in great quantities in Algeria
and Tunis. The main office is situat

The new company has leased part
of the Sorgues powder factory, near,
Avignon, and expects to produce pulp
within a year. Other experiments are
being made with vine shoots and have
appacectly proved satisfactory. An
other effort is being made to acclima
tize the Canadian poplar tree in
France.

Armateurs Francais, is organizing a
special service for the transportation
of chemical wood pulp from Finland
to France. The first shipment of
1,556 metric tons of paper pulp has
just been discharged at Nantes and
