Merrill is a scientific publication that was likely written in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1910s. The book explores the potential of hemp hurds—a byproduct of the hemp fiber industry—for use in paper manufacturing. It details both the production of hemp hurds and the subsequent processes involved in converting them into paper. The text begins with an examination of hemp hurds, describing their properties and how they are produced as a waste product from fiber extraction. Dewey discusses the agricultural aspects, including the yield of hurds compared to fiber, their current uses, and the logistics of handling and transporting them. Merrill follows with a detailed account of the tests conducted to assess the paper-making qualities of the hurds, including cooking methods, yields, and physical properties of the resulting paper. The authors conclude that while paper produced from hemp hurds can meet certain quality standards, its commercial viability may depend on overcoming challenges related to raw material storage, processing efficiency, and the supply chain of hemp agriculture.
