WILL SELL CHEAPER.
Warden Jewett Promises TO Save
Farmers 100000.

Warden Jewett of the Kansas peni-
tertiary says that the penitentiary
binding Irvine plant will mean saving
OF 100000 to the Kansas farmers this
year.
Warden Jewett says: when the
wheat harvest commences we will have
three million pounds of first-class Irvine
ready to sell to the farmers. We start
ed the plant last year Immediately after
we overhauled it at the end of the
harvest season. 1t has been running
steadily ever since and we will have
one million pounds more Irvine to sell
this year than last. We have enough
of the raw sisal in our warehouse to
last through the harvest season. We
have received no orders for the Irvine
yet. but a number of inquiries have
been made in regard to price.
1.-The saving to the farmers this year
will come in the competition we will
furnish the trusts. We will sell our
Irvine a cent cheaper a pound than we
did last year. Last year it sold for
911 and 10 cents a pound, and this year
it will sell for SO and cents a pound.
