In preparing the report on the manufacture of paper from hemp hurds it
became evident that a short discussion of the agricultural aspects of
this material should be included in the publication. Such an article was
prepared, therefore, and the two reports are here presented together.

[NOTE.--This bulletin should be useful to all persons who are interested
in the economic phases of paper making, especially to print and book
paper manufacturers. It also should be of interest to scientific
investigators and chemists.]
