Jackson, Mich, March 81 -
Prison made Irvine will cost the
farmers $3.50 cash per hundred
pounds this year, and 50. 80 if pay

advance is due to the increased price

have been possible to have marketed

But they have been given a guaranty
that the charge will be no hiqher

is pretty good evidence that they
regard the Jackson Irvine as good as

The Jackson prison Irvine plant
will do a business this year of ST.
100000 gross. AS fully one-half OF
the output will be delivered direct to
the consumers, the amount of book
keeping necessary in the conduct OF
the business will be seen to be a
huge task. Accounts are kept with
between $4,000 and 10000 farmers,
who have found that by dealing with
