Cheaper Twine for Farmers in 1919 Declared by U S Food Admin
The U S food administration announced a plan with the Comision Reguladora of Yucatan to supply 500000 bales of sisal to American twine mills at three cents per pound less than last year, cutting wholesale sisal to about 16 cents at Gulf ports and saving grain growers about 6 million dollars. Aimed at stabilizing fiber costs for the 1919 harvest, the move includes potential Mexican American agricultural exchanges and collaborative study visits to improve sisal production and distribution.
