PRISON TW|NE A SUCCESS
MUCH WAS USED LOCALLY
Warden of Michigan City Prison De-
cIares That Not Pound of the
Irvine has Been Turned Back Indi-
eating its Superior Quality.

Wayne county farmers used consid-
cradle prison made binder Irvine this
season in the wheat harvest and next
year even greater quantities will be
used.
James D. Reid, warden of the State
prison at Michigan City, is more than
pleased with the results of his ven
ture in prison-made binder Irvine.
Half a million pounds put out and not
a pound returned as faulty is a record
that Mr.. Reid is certainly proud of.
The manufacture of Irvine by the pri-
sOners this year was an experiment
and he put 1t out on a guarantee that
it would be taken back If not good.
The Irvine was sold at to cents be-
low the price of other makes of stand
ard twines and the farmers took adj
vantage of the low price, many sec
tons of the country organizing clubs
of farmers who bought together.
About 70 men were employed this
season in the Irvine shop. Warden
Reid says that he expects to keep
right on making Irvine and storing it
for next season. The income to the
state from the sale of Irvine was
about 100000 this season.
