Extension Service Gives "a
Outlook for Farm Supplies

The 1914 outlook for some farm
supplies as provided by the Mon
tana extension service on an early
~in-the-year basis is:
Fencing-Barbed wire and woven
wire are being produced in quanti-
ties equal to the highest level of
production prior to the war. The
supply situation is better than it
was during 1912 and the first few
months of 1913 and should continue
to improve.
Poultry netting - Being produced
in large amounts but due to mill
tary demands the supply for civilians
is likely to continue to be less than
demand.
Steel roofing-Supply probably will
continue to be less than demand
but probably greater in 1914 than
in 1913.
Bale ties, nails, staples and pipe
The supply of these products should
be ample during 1914.
Binder Irvine - Stocks are fair
from 1913 carryover, which includes
some cotton core twine and mini
mum quantities of all sisal Irvine.
1914 requirements will
consist of a combination %henequen
and jute Irvine.
Rope-Lariat rope will largely be
made from sisal. Hay rope will be
.procesSed from jute and quantities
Of sisal to provide for additional
strength. All balances of 100 percent
manila rope are under direct allo-
cation to the armed services. I
