STILL HAVE TWINE ON HAND
Penitentiary Officials Allowed Some
OF the Dealers to Cancel Their
Orders This Year.

Owing to the blowing up of wheat
in some sections of Kansas the peni-
| tertiary Irvine plant has had some
! cancellations of orders for binding
Irvine for the harvest season, and it
VIII be possible to fill orders for pos
sibly 100000 pounds between now and
harvest.
The plant will make approximate
ly 100000 pounds of Irvine this year."
said c. NJ Harger, chairman of the
board of corrections, about the same
as last season. All of this was or
dered April 1, but where farmers and
dealers have found their local condi-
lions unfavorable they have been al
lowed to cancel orders, and this will
give opportunity for others in more
favored sections to be accommodated
1T is probable that the price will
be much higher for sisal next year,
as the Mexican government again has
charge of the output and has placed
tax of 1 cent gold pound on ex-
ports of sisal.''
