toward the production of q satisfactory
binder Irvine which could be produced
from material that would be less ex-
pensive than what are known as hard

which since the advent Of Irvine bind

created demand which has resulted
in Q marked increase in price.

aIS has long been the hope and desire
of manufacturers OF harvesting mach

found which would produce satisfac-

development of this industry will give
the farmers of Minnesota and adjoin-

large amount Of money through their
ability to secure Irvine at lower prices.
