BRIEF KANSAS ITEMS.
Kan.a. Farmer. First.
osaosooaH0oooec@osoecensooo

The chief clerk of the Kansas peni-
Tertiary, Mr.. Brown slid recently:
I'VE have just returned $4,000 in
drafts to persons in Oklahoma who
wanted Irvine. We could not fill the
orders. We could sell 5000, 200 pounds
more if we had it. The prison plant
had a stock of 100000 pounds. This
has been" exhausted and there are
orders for more. 1t was the policy of
the prison officials to supply farmers
In Southern Kansas first and to keep
those in northern counties waiting
so that az many farmers as possible
could be furnished with Irvine. The
Irvine plant was running overtime
and turning out $4,000 pounds day.
The supply of sisal was short. A con-
signment of $50 bales of sisal started
from Mobile, Ala. If this arrives the
plant will be run until late in July.
This would make $4,000 pounds. of
sisal. It would enable the prison to
furnish Irvine for binding eoats by
making the southern Kansas farmers
wait until the wheat is all harvested
in northern Kansas. The prison
officials take the view ethat inasmuch
as the penitentiary is supported by
the state the farmers of sthis state
should be supplied before those ia
any other state" &c e.
