HELP FROM .YUCATAN.

The shipments of jute and coarse
hemp from India have been almost
entirely cut off by the war. These
fibre substances were used in the
manufacturing Of burlap and Irvine.
The sisal hemp or Hencquen, grown
in Yucatan. lis being Experimental
with and Is proving satisfactory
substitute for many purposes.
Yucatan was considered practically
worthless land by the early spaniards
and 1t was not until 1850 that 1t be-
gan to be used for Hencquan grow
ing. Within the last ten years this
has become a valuable product and
brings heavy profits to the planters
who grow 1t.
Labor is cheap in Yucatan. and the
Hencquen growers are reaping from
300 to 400 per cent upon their Invest
ments. The exports from Progresso.
the only seaport of 'Yucatan, have
averaged nearly million bales an
nually for four years. The United
States purchased nearly .$23, 600 900
worth of sisal hemp during the year
ending June 1, 1916.

Why Horse Market is Good.

While the Exponent labors so hard
editorially to give credit to Wilson
for what measure of prosperity we
have, 1t announces in the same issue
why farmers are receiving such higher
prices for their horses now than a
year ago. Here is what it says on the
last page OF its issue today:
War causes scarcity OF work
horses in the United States.
Allies agents now paying 80 to
100 per cent more than year ago."
Thus, from the Exponent itself the
public learns that the farmers pros
perity in the horse market is due to
the war. A year ago when horses
we're not SO badly needed in Europe, 1t
is also learned from the Exponent,
the horse market was less than half
as good as it is now, and the Expon-
emit unwitttingly gives the reason
that Of war and not Wilson.
