That is an outdated method originally developed in Quebec but is no longer seen as useful. It cause frost bridging and defeats the r value of the wall.

I think if I was going to build with straw I would float the bales in clay
slip and seal all for sides before bringing them to the site. It would add
weight during construction and possibly be a slight negative on r value but
it would almost eliminate the fire hazard.
The rice hulls sound like the way to go as meeting code is easy and they
almost won't burn.
I love the idea of papercrete but I need to learn more before I would
chance building a house that way.
