spoken in her letter. The years drop -

and Mother were standing together
under this same old oat: tree looking
out over the smooth field. 'There was
a look of reverence on Mother's face
and he heard her say: "Ssn, there is
no life that can compare with life
on the farm. I believe Goad intended
ratan and woman to work together and
make the soil yield them a living.
Father and I have found contentment
and peak here onthe beautiful old

how she was going to have her side

it in the morning and the elm and
maple in the afternoon. ''The trumpet
vine, which was no doubt a century
old, covered it the entire length. A

Lantic is a quick -acting sweetener, because it isfine. It distributes
the pure cane sweetness speedily, thoroughly and economically. It
saves time in the preparation of cakes, puddings and sauces, in the
cooking of preserves, in the snaking of candy, in the sweetening
of beverages, hot or cold. Not whiter are the snowy doilys and
serviettes os the mahogany table than the tiny crystals of Lantic

its hail -mark. Yet, in homes where every penny counts, Lantic
goodness helps in the saving. It does go farther!

SOURCES OF
PAPER MAKING

WORLD - WIDE SEARCH
FOR SUBSTITUTES.
Inventive Genius Stimulated
by Present Scarcity of
Wood Pulp.
The comparative scarcity of pulp
for paper -making and the consequent
high prices for newsprint are reflect-
ed in the stimulus given to research
all over the world in 1111 endeavor to
widen the field cf raw material- for
paper manufacture. A brief review
of some of the possible competitors
with Canadian spruce and balsam may
he interesting.
Esparto is a grasslike plant found
in Spain, Algeria., and Tripoli. It was
used for paper -making in Great Bri-
( Lain as early as 181i7. During the
war, the scarcity of oilier sources of
pulp gave it greater prominence. The
fibres are short and weak, and the
-II pulp is best used for filling and is em-
! ployed largely in mixtures with longer
and stronger fibres. In papers in
which considerable strength is • need-
ed, not more than 20 per cent. of es-
parto can be used.
Zacaton is a plant belonging to an
I American genus of tite ;'ante fancily
It isprincipally as esparto. p p y found in
Mexico, where it grows profusely in
certain regions. Experiments with
this material, conducted by the Bureau
s. of the U.S. Depart-
ment
e t
of Plant Industry „ry iart-
stent of Agriculture, showed that a
satisfactory paper could be made
from it by means of the soda process.
Indeed, the report of the investigation
!was published ou paper made from
! zacaton, The experiments were not,
1 however, conducted on a scala suf-
ficient to snake any estimate of the
cost of manufacture. At present, za-
1 oaten is a waste product and flourish-
es in a region remote from paper -
Imanufacturing centres.
Makes Good Grade of Paper.
Hemp hurds have also been ievesti,
gated by the Bureau of Plant Indus -
!rtes. After several trials, under con-
ditions of treatment and inanufacture
regarded as favorable in comparison
with those ,,used for pulpwood, paper
was produced which received very
favorable •comtnen,t both from invests-
gators and from the trade, and which,
according to official tests, would be
classed as No.: 1 machine -finish print-
ing paper. The quantity available is
not great, however.
Flax straw and tow may replace
deported flaxwaste in the manufae-
ture of wrapping and writing paper.
if this can be done, a market would
be furnished to Canadian farmers for
disposing of what is now a waste pro-
duct.
T3�mboo is coming to the fora in
India and Burmah, Mr. William
Raitt, consulting cellulose expert to
the Indian Government, states that
there reattain no practical difficulties
in transforming bamboo into pulp.
Bamboo has the great advantage that
it renews itself annually, whereas
!pulpwood takes half a century to
i grow.
Tropical reeds and grasses found
a in the Nile "sudd" of the fahral-Gra•
zal province of the Sudan have been
i experimented with for papor-nsaking,.
and, while complete success has not
been attained, it is quite possible that
the difficulties will be eventually over.

Anhinga, a plant growing along the
banks of the sluggish rivers of the
state of Para, Brazil, is stated to be
an excellent paper -making material,
but the great profits to be obtained in
the rubber industry have hitherto
hindered its exploitation.. Mills are
now., however, being put in operation
fox the utilization of this fibre.

Ajiro is a seaweed found in Japan.
It reproduces itself in less than six

Jack -pine is a promising material in
I the paper -snaking held, As jack -pine
is very common in Conacla.'s northern
hinterland, tire commercial exploita-
tion of this species would prove very
valuable to supplement our dwindling
stocks of spruce and balsam.
In the manufacture of newsprint
wood -pulp still dominates the field,
but one dare not predict that this will
always, or even will long, bo so. In
