WOULD RUN N. D. TWINE PLANT CONTINUALLY

Editor Independent:— In your last issue, I noticed an ar­

ticle headed: "Twine Plant Running Day and Night." This article seems to have been written by C. H. Mc-Manus. We have no fault to find with this article with but one excep­tion. When Mr. M(aManus states that the prison twine plants have ben shut down, it is misleading and is not the case with the Minnesota plant. Wte know what we are talking about. The writer visited the Min­nesota state twine factory a short time ago. and found them running over time, making 80,000 pounds a day, trying their utmost to accomo­date all possible. On this account the writer was aible to secure ano­ther car of twine to be delivered in time for our customers' crops. We cannot speak for all factories.

We did! hear that the North Da­kota plant was going to shut down. If this lg the case the people of the state should wake up and arrange to keep such a profitable industry ran ning the whole year. Yourg for the benefit of the public,
