PLENTY OF TWINE

1t will soon be time for the farmer
TO think about harvest labor and
binder twine, both Of which have
caused him trouble in the past Tho
former was especially troublesome
during the years Of the war
OF course, labor is the chief prob
lem, but binder twine is somethina
that must be reckoned with as well
and in its own way is a very importa
ant feature in the harvesting opera
tiOns.
The wheat-grOwer need have no ap-
prehensiOns as to the supply Of binder
twine this season. Reports comina
to the bureau of plant industry, of the
United States department of agrcul
ture, indicate that there will be a
plentiful supply of this commodity
available for the American farmer
Not only will it be plentiful but il Is
likely to be cheaper this year than
for some years past.

source Of heneQuen, from which the
twine is made-produced large crop

commission regulators, was responsi-
BILE for drop in the price of fiber from
- TO 10 cents a pound early in March
The price is now reported to be s cents

fected in the price of twine this sea-
son.
Thus far the recent revolution IN
Mexico has not affected the henequen
industry of Yucatan and Campeche, the
two important fiber-growing states OF
that country. 1t is too late now for
any disruption of this industry to affect
seriously the supplies of twine for this
years harvest, as practically all the

RED CROSS RESULTS

When the army examinations We're
made during the late war, 80 per cent
Of the young men failed 10 pass the
examinations. Of course South Da-
kota was not in that class, but that
was the average for the country. This
condition is simply the indication OF
the general health conditions Of the
United States in 1917 and 1913. South
Dakota stood at the head of the states
with the lowest percentage Of rejec-
tions, and the state has since bettered
its health conditions by the fine pro
gram that has been carried on by and
through the Red Cross peace program
Those health examinations opened the
eyes Of the people Of the country TO
the need of county nurses, classes for
hygience and other means for helping
the general population care rightly for
their health. Nurses have been pro
vided for many counties and the one
placed in Brookings county has insti-
tuted great work for the betterment
of the health, especially of the chill
dren, Of the county. In the six months
visiting done by the nurse from No
