THE possibility of a paper pulp manu facture becoming an established indus try in New Guinea is receiving considera tion by the Administration.
It is interesting to note that already experimental areas of Kunai grass have been laid out near Rabaul, to determine the growth and yield. A study is also being made of the length of period between har vestings which will be most suitable to its virility.
Kunai grass is said to be superior to the famous Esparto grass, grown mostly in South America, from which better class paper is manufactured.
