PRICE FOR BINDER TWINE
Fixed at Fl to 26 Cents. Higher than
Last Year. Means saving to
Farmers of 100000

Warden G.. S. Reed some time ago
held meeting with the board of control
at which a minimum and maximum
price for prison binder Irvine was deter
mined. The price agreed upon ranges
from FL to rs cents pound and shows
an increase from last year when prices
were quoted at 10 to l5c. In spite of
this increase this means saving of about
100000 to the farmers of the state on
tie output of nearly 100000 pounds
of Irvine.
Ralph w. Wheelock, chairman of the
board of control, stated last year Irvine
was sold at &c below market quotations
on raw material and nearly seven cents
below prices of private manufacturers.

years 1917 and 1918; the quotations are

HENS MAY BE PLACED ON
= MARKET AFTER THIS WEEK
Early Season Has Rushed The
Business of Matching And
Biddy's Work Is Done.

The food administration at Washing
ton has made the official announcement
that the order for the sale of hens will
expire next Saturday, April 20. From
that day on it is permitted to kill hens,
until further notice.
It. is estimated that since the order
went into effect on Feb. % at least three
and one quarter millions of hens have
been saved in the markets OF New York,
Chicago, and Boston alone. The good
weather conditions have helped very
materially in ushering in an earlier
season of Matching and laying of eggs
than had been anticipated. For that
reason it is possible to raise the ban ten
days earlier than originally provided.
Farmers, however, are warned, not
to bring too many chickens to market
at once, because thereby it would be
come overstocked and a good deal Of the
meat would spoil.
