Abstract
Kenaf is useful not only as a fiber source for rope, twine, and cloth, but also as a supplemental fiber source for paper. Difficulties caused by its high bulk content can be overcome by using alfalfa-cubing methods which compress the kenaf for easier storage and transportation.
Assistance of John B. Dobie, Lecturer, Agricultural Engineering, U.C., Davis, is gratefully
