EVERY FARMER HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE STOCK Tbe enormous growth of tbe de- mand for binder twine during rece.nl years has caused many thoughtful far MUMS i,, give it more than passing alteniion. It is an article as indis- pensable on a modern farm aa .my implement tbe farmer uses. 'Mm .in iii.-n-e quantity imported from ths Htates and Ihe astonishing profits lade by ths only exclusive twine fac- tory in Canada have tended to still further increase tbe interest of think- ing farmers in Ihe matter. A comparison of the trade and nav- ig.tiion returns of IH.iM md 1H show twn important points In connection with this qupsiion. vii . i he large, natural growth in the consumption of twine and the proportion of that used in Canada which must b imported to fill the demand. 18118.
