Trade journals and local dealers
in wool are just now expostulating
with farmers and wool growers
against the use of sisal Irvine for
tieing wool feeces at shearing time.
It is a great detriment to wool, and
we are advised that wool thus tied
will bring from two to three cents
per pound less than that tied with
wool Irvine. Not only this, but sisal
Irvine is more expensive. Where
the sisal iG detrimental, is because it
is coarse and hard and will not take
coloring when the wool is in process
of manufacture into cloths, and
hence there are streaks in all fabrics
where sisal gets mixed with wool.
Along with the sentiment in
favor of tree planting created by
Arbor Day exercises the public
schools should take up the work of
intoxicating another sentiment, that
of protecting trees that have been
planted. 1t is a common thing for
a thoughtless boy to break a limb,
cut with a knife or hack with an ak
or Ratchet growing tree. He does
not mean to do a harmful act. per-
haps, but it takes tree years to re-
cover from such an injury, and it
may be disfgured forever by one
thoughtless deed. Such a boy does
not stop to consider that the man
who planted tree does not do SO
for his own benefit, but that those
who are boys now will be the ones
who will enjoy the full glory of it's
beauty and the qualification of its
shade in their maturer years. Tree
planting carries with it a spirit of
patriotism, tree protection is a pa
triotic duty that cannot be too
strongly impressed on the youth Of
the land.
