ders for their binder Irvine at once de-
clared DR. H. A. Morgan, when the fol
lowing letter was sent to al county
food administrators:
You should urge the farmers Of
your county TO place their orders for
probable requirements for binder twirse
as soon as possible, so that local deak
ers can provide by early shipment for
an adequate supply of twine to meet
the harvest requirements shipping
conditions are such that more time
must be allowed from factory to local
distributing points to avoid danger of
shortage in supply.
"You are advised that dealers may
charge a margin Of cents per pound
cash, or its equivalent, and 2IS cents
on time, with freight added from the
factory, above the manufacturer
price OF % cents per pound for bind
er Irvine In view of the fact that
owing to heavy freight congestion the
Irvine must be ordered and held longer
than usual, and the necessarily higher
price to be paid for it, we do not think
the margins allowed will be consii
cred unreasonable.
please give this publicity through
your press and your local committees,
Also convey this information to the
dealers in binder Irvine in your juris'
diction. Faithfully yours
IN. A. MORGAN"
