MUST NOT USE TWINE
Wool Growers Receive Notice
not to use Binder TWine,

Wool growers have been notified not

farmer readers.

conference.-the alarming increase
in the use of sisal or binder twine by
the farmers throughout the fleece
wool states has determined US to take
a stand against it's further use by
motif, ing all our buyers and people
who are in the habit of buying and
conSigning their woods to u.s. The
loose fibres from the twine cannot be
eliminated from the wool in manu-
featuring, and some of our very best
customers say that they will not ac-
cept fleece thus tied in any delivery
that we may make of fleece woods
We therefore are notifying all our
agents, and others, that under no ac-
count must they accept woods so tied
as no discount on the price can make
the wool satisfactory.
Along this line we wish to call your
attention to the excessive use OF
twine. Two moderate sized strings
each way are enough for any fleece,
and this year we have had fleeces tied
with very heavy, coarse twine, which
is nothing less than rope, which OF
course adds to the weight Of the
fleece, and this is one of the reasons
why manufacturers are using foreign
wools more and more in preference to
our domestic fieeces. The use OF
binder twine is simply carelessness on
| the part of the grower, and the use OF
an unnecessary amount of twine is an
abuse which has crept into the busi'
! ness, and which we have suffered for
and must put stop to. If a realiZa'
tion of this is brought to the atten'
tion of the farmer we feel sure that
he will do his best to correct it.
Will you kindly forward this circular
to the editor of your local paper ask
ing him to insert it in his paper, also
will you not interest the officers OF
your local grange, and do all you car
personally to right this matter.
| Yours very truly,

TO KEEP TEACHERS
FROM MARRYING

One of the problems which the
county superintendents will attempt
to solve during the convention i'm
Oshkosh the latter part of May, is
that of 1.-The length of service of
teachers and how to increase that
SERVICE" which is but another way of
putting the question ''How to keep
teachers from marrying after having
taught two or three years" This is
question that has perhaps caused the
county superintendents throughout
the state more annoyance and trouble
than any other, of their many perplex.
ing propositions. Efforts have been
made to solve it by the superin-
tendents individually, but without
any degree Of success The problem
has taken on such proportions that the
question will be submitted to and dis
cussed by the convention.

since passed over to the other side.
Let us strew upon their last resting
places the sweetest flowers of spring

well and preserved without the loss of
a single star. Let US remember their
unselfish devotion to duty, and from
