4 In March, 1901, he had an applica-
tion from one A. O, Stenjen Of Wah-
peton for a bundle Of North Dakota
binding twine. He suspected 81 the
same reasons for this as for other Or
ders and repacked and relabelled the
second bundle which he had bought in
July LIST, and shipped it to Mr. Stem
jen. III Last month the experts report
came out as printed above and the.
Globe Of Wahpeton was carrying large
space containing the syn
opsis Of this report and denouncing
the product of the North Dakota state
factory. Then Warden Boucher thought
it was time for his second move in the
game. So..he came to Wahpeton last
week to seek the Mr. Stenjen who had
ordered tie second bundle OF irvine
He found Mr.. Stenjen in the employ
OF Horton & CO., dealers in farm ma
chinery, and from him learned that he
had turned over the bundle of tWine
to his employers. AS examination of
the: firms shipping book was allowed
and 1t showed that on the 9th OF March
80 pounds of this twine had been
shipped to the Farm Implement News
of Chicago. Horton s& Co. still had
on hand a ball or two of the twine, for
they only, as stated in the experts re-
port, shipped a part of the bundle for
test Warden Boucher got bali and
examined it and had others exanine5it
and all who saw it declared thatsSit
was good twine. s@$35 s$s=:#
" The proofs Of the truth of this story
can be had for the asking, but tits
hardly necessary that they should be
demanded. The superintendent and
shipping clerk of the North Dakota
tWine factory can attest to the fact
that these two bundles of Deering
tWine were shipped and labelled as
state tWine. Mr.. Stenjen admits to
having sent the order and received the
goods. The shipping books show
where the twine went to and thepaper
shows. by its report what was done
with it after it got there. The chain
is complete. +. .- 1s$$$$5==g $z5 z. Z
Now for results. Either Deering
tWine is absolutely unfit for use and
should be avoided by farmers who
wish to save money and trouble, or
else the test is a fake pure and simple
"a lie spun out Of whole cloth for
benefit OF the eastern manufac acturers.
There is no other solution OF the cues
ton. NoW, every farmer knows that
Deering Irvine is good twine, that It
has stood the test and will stand the
test, that it3eo,1ldn't be sold if it were
what this expert report says il is.
Therefore, the clusion we must
come to is that the report is an out
rageous and malignant lie, published
and told for the purpose OF destroying
confidence in binding twine manlfac--
tured BY the state of North Dakota
But 1t seems that a little shrewdness
has brought 1t about that the liars fell
into the pit they digged for another
that they have been poisoned by then
own sting III the end it lis. the best
thing that could have happened fol
the North Dakota ttwine factory, for ne
one who has read of this first fake tes1
