farmer. A tenth OF the wheat grown
in the United States is raised within
the borders of this state, so no state
in the Union is any more interested
in the sisal market.
The decision of the federal govern
ment to send a warship with sufi-
cient gold to facilitate the movement
OF 10000 bales of sisal fibre is prob
ably unique, but conditions in Mexico
call for unique action, ~.

Inco,pand is used in connection with

disputed control of Carranza.

farmers are intimately bound up in
the preservation Of the sisal market.
1t is necessary that the movement of
this product proceed untmpeded.
