The charge that the requirements of

Quires secular instruction for only

Of summer vacation, this leaves thirty

secular instruction as parents aud

claims of the need of religious instruc-

weeks, exclusive of the ten summer

Senators Go Slow !"

Special Washington Correspondence
in Pioneer Press: At the time Binder
Twlne was forced up to such exorbitant
figures the department of agriculture
was solicited by the farmers of the West
to investigate the subject. Secretary
Rusk has done this. He instructed MIR.
Charles Richards Dodge to look into the
matter thoroughly The result of his
work has just been published by the de-
partment in the pamphlet entitled "A
Report on Flax, Hemp. Jute and Ramie,
New Series. Miscellaneous. No. l Divi-
sion of Statistics" In this report, which
fills more than one hundred pages, Mr.
Dodge, after referring to the enormous
ly high price OF Irvine last season, writes
urging the cultivation ond substitution
of American hemp, and says:
And with little present protection
the foreign tibers can be driven out of
the market and the farmer receive a two
fold benefit from the change. Ii is
claimed that if manila, sisal. sum. New
Zealand and other hemp substitutes are
placed upon the list of free raw mater
ials it will be because some of the far
mers in the West have demanded II. in
view of the present agricultural depres-
sion. to cheaper the present
cost of Binder Irvine. No doubt
should this occur the few
manufacturing firms in the United States
who produce Binder Irvine from foreign
tibers will thank these farmers who
have actually aided them in the accom-
pliShment of q much desired object that
they have been unable to bring about
through their own efforts. There are
many Western farmers, however. who
look at this matter in its true light, as
is shown by the large correspondence
of the department relating to fiber mat
tiers, received since the fiber investiga-
ton began. I sse farmers SEE what is the
fact. that every pound of binder twine
used can be made of native grown fl
bers, that the Irvine Will be as good as
the best MANILA, run as many feet to the
pound. and can be produced at a saving
OF at least four cents pound from the
present prices.
with the foreign tibers, the saving
to the farmers BY the removal of the
duty will not be over cent pound,
and it remains to be seen whether the
farmer will get any advantage.
1T IS needless to say that if these for
eign hemp substitutes, and jute espec-
ialIy. are placed upon the free list. these
efforts in a measure will be hampered
and the farmers themselves will be the
losers. Both binder Irvine and Gotten
bagging should be made from flax and
hemp grown on American farms
The above beng the result of a thor
ough aud expensive investigation by
the department of agriculture, the SEN
ate of the United States should be care
