Cheaper binder twine for 1919 harvest aid to farmers
The U S Food Administration announces a 3 cent per pound cut in binder twine cost for 1919 as a result of a deal with the Comision Reguladora of Yucatan selling 500000 bales of sisal to U S mills. The change lowers wholesale sisal to about 16 cents at Gulf ports, easing expense for grain growers and supporting U S mills through the next year. The administration also pursues better Mexico United States agricultural cooperation including an exchange visit by Mexican farmers to study production and costs.
