proof of this Is the statements of the
men themselves. Compare them with the

every fair-minded man will see that the
effect of the Journal was solely for DO

Read what the farmers saw:

Ben Holteen, Oshawa--I used prison
| Irvine this year, and was perfectly salts
red with 1t In every respect and have
no fault to find with it. The Irvine was

and cheapness. 1t runs even throughout.
ard is just as good in quality as any
other have used. 1 remember years
ago, before the plant started up, 1 had
to pay ~ and Il cents per pound for 9TH
to keep the price down
G. A. jacobson, Oshawa-I have used
prison twins. for three different years,
and am satisfied with it. 1 have used
other tW1ne, and have not been able to
make it work, but have never had any
trouble E. with III the prison Irvine. Every
know has been well satisfied. I do not
understand why the Journal makes such
statements as It does.
straight sisal this year Just a small
portion of the Irvine bothered where it
was tied together. Otherwise it gave
ga4sraetion. 1 haven't measured 1t, but
l think 1t goes as far as any other sisal.
L will use Saltwater Irvine again next
year. l think that it has lessened the
price OF other twine l have used prison
twine for two or three years, and It has
Irvine.
j. M; Turner, Oshaiwa-I have used pris-
on Irvine for six or seven years, and If
It wasn't good 1 wouldn't have used it.
Th1s IS evidence enough. We that have
used prison Irvine don't seem to be both
cred with crickets. / think the Journal
must nave used its imagination in its
statements regarding prison Irvine There
is nothing to them whatever. And what
is more, nobody is so foolish as to be-
heve them. will use it again next
year.
f. NJ. Boys. Oshawa,-I have nothing but
the highest praise for prison twine 1 have
used 1t now for a number of years, and
intend to use 1t again next year. At the
time L put in my order for Irvine this
spring saved a cent and a half a pound
over other Irvine. My Irvine was very
even throughout and worked to perfec-
ton And there is another thing about
prison tWlne that must not be overlook
edit has greatly cheapened other Irvine
for the farmers. 1t is certainly a great
blessing.
J. E. Kennedy, Oshawa-I have used
prison tWine ever since the plant was
started. | have never found any COM
plant with 1t, but, on the other hand
found 1t to be OF full length and good
quality. And, what is more, I did not
have to exchange 1t for other Irvine, as
some other farmers had to do who were
not fortunate enough to have prison Irvine
to begin with P. Kneefe run short Of
Irvine during harvest and borrowed some
of'the prison make from neighbor. He
was more than satisfied with it, and con-
sidered 1t far ahead Of what he had got
before.
Jonas J. johnson Cshawe>-I have used
prison Irvine ever since 1t was manufac-
ture9, some eight or ten years. This was
tho first year l ever used prison sisal, for
While = is the cheapest Irvine, 1 always
regarded 1t as the most expensive. This
year used s.sal, that being the only
tWtne they made. Last years standard
is, as everybody knows, superior to sisal
"a hpp &c
Irvine But this years sisal was in every
way satisfactory L have not the least
complaint 70 make. Several Of my neigh.
hors used prison twine. and all were at
listed. 1 have not heard a farmer COM
plain against prison twine
1t may interest some to know that IN
q field worked by Andrew and Charles
La.vtne one part was bound with prison
Irvine and the other by outside Irvine.
In the latter cne-third to one half the
bundles had the bands cut by crickets.
I intend to buy prison tWine next yeaI.
r. MART, West Newton-In regard to
binding Irvine, which seems to be troub-
ling the Journal editor. let me say that
have used prison twin7 for three sea-
ever. I heard the political arguments
two years ago, when the prison board
sold tWine to dealers instead of to farm
ers. That year we had to pay the deal
ers 3 profit OF and cents pound. If
Lind and Johnson are responsible for the
change, all honor tothem., Then we paid
from Y to "A cents a pound for twine,
orders filed at tbs prison That year the
dealers praised the Irvine because they
made a profit on 1t. Now that they can't
control it, Of course they do not like
prison twine. 1t will be hard work fer
the Journal to convince the farmers that
they do not know the difference between
rope ana tW;ne. l have not heard West
Newton farmer complain cf prison Irvine,
They were well satisfied with 1t.
M. j. Medreen, Bernadotte-Few farm
ers in this vicinity used prison tw!ne.
twine this year and pronounce it as good
as ever. A. Person and Erick Johnson
say 1t is just as good in quality as ever
The tWine may have been little coarser.
But they We're satisfied. Your splendid
defense Of the Irvine plant at Stlllwa-
ter IS highly appreciated in this vicinity.
AS to the Journal. it has no standing In
this vicinity, and is practically without
Influence in this vicinity.
August Poehler, Courtland--I had go
satisfaction. L had no trouble with it
at all.
Theodore Precht. Courtlana-The prison
twine l used this year gave satisfaction.
1 used a different brand of Irvine last
year, which did not give as good salts
faction as this years prison Irvine. My
father, Ed Precht, of CORTLAND, bought
200 pounds Of me and used ii In a new
binder The binder was started and
missed most Of the bundles The agent
said 1t was the fault OF the Irvine. Some
OF his own Irvine was then used, and
the bundles were missed the same as be-
fore, thus showing it was no fault Of the
prison twine.
Henry p. Fox, Traverse-I bought 500
lbs. Of prison Irvine this year and was
perfectly satisfied with it. 1t worked as
well as any tW1ne ever used. .The state
ment that farmers were scared into buzz
