BINDING TWIRE TO Be CHEAPER
High Cost Of Harvesting the Kansas
Wheat Crop Due for Jolt
This Winter.

Topeka-The high cost OF harvest
ing the wheat crop in Kansas is going
TO have one heavy jolt this year. The
price OF binding Irvine is going down
and may be but little more than half
the price of twine last year. The
Mexican government, which controls
the sisal output in Southern. Mexico
needed money this winter and wanted
it IN a hurry. The price OF the raw
sisaI went down materially so that the
ready cash might be available for gov
eminent uses.
James A Kimball, state business
manager, said that he had bought
sisaI for the state prison Irvine plant
at an average of 8 cents pound for
Sax thousand bales. enough to make
up ali the Irvine the prison plant
could turn out by the opening of the
harvest This is a decrease of sew
eral cents a pound from the price OF
raw sisal year ago.
The price of Irvine was % cents a
pound for the 1919 harvest. Mr.. Kim
bali does not know what the price
will be this year. but he has sent out
notices to all the farmers organiza-
tions in the state announcing that it
would be at least 1 cent under the
price of the commercial twine plants.
It may be even lower, as the state
does not aim to make profit. The
commercial Irvine plants bought much
OF the sisal. at slightly higher prices
than the state paid and some at the
same price. The prison plant is Of
fering to book ali orders now for
Irvine at a guaranteed price of at
least l cent a pound less than the
commercial prices for the season.
The prison plant produces a maxi
mum OF 3 million pounds of binding
Irvine a year. The maximum con-
sumption in the state is 80 million
pounds. The price of the prison
Irvine has always been lower than the
commercial mills, but never as low a
price has been quoted as that already
announced for the 1920 harvest.
