inns Is for a fair average Quality of sprinr
wheat We make this extended statement
SO as to enable every man to Judge for him
sell as to the comparative value of the two
crops, as we believe it is by such COMPARISONS
only that the value and profit of different
products can be placed in their true light
We also desire that the farmers of Wapello
county may be correctly informed in regard
to what point to look TO for the surest ami
most accessible market for this product
We started a mill for the manufacture of oil
from FAX seed, in this CITY, ia the fail Of 1855
since which time we have bought all he
seed brought to this market, paying from 10
to 70 per cent per bushel more than could b.,
paid Tor shipment. and so far as we know we
ifd'e nj rnfs nfne, the only mill Of this kind
IN successful operation in Iowa. Through
the medium Of the Burlington & NJ. r. X, T.
the farmers of your county can now trans
port thersurplus to market at half the cos,
that it could be done Formerly, and there is
no standard crop the cost of transporting
which is so small in proportion to its value
as flax seed. We therefore say with "Oncc
farmer" raise this tried old standard crop,
bat letu give i: Il fair show by starting right.
We shall then be more likely to be satisfied
with the result.

For the Courier
TUT tIEV NVUII TIT
Mr.. j. W. Norris, Dear Sir.

Mr.. j. W. Norris, Dear Sir:
In reading an article on the cultivation Of
Flax Seed, published in your paper of the
10Th inst, while we were gratiiied to find that
an interest was beginning to be felt in ex-
tending the culture of this crop, we also find
some errors appearing in the article which
we desire to correct. Although "Once a
farmer" evidently understands and appreci-
atcs the value of this crop, his statistics are
calculated to mislead.
We have been led to write this article
| from desire that those who may wish to
go into raising fax for the seed, may start
out with correct information in regard to its
value and productiveness and also that they
may be posted as to where the best place
may be to sell it, when raised. 1t always
subserves best the interests both of individ-
uals and the community that bare facts
should be placed before them, stripped of
every thing fictitious and exaggerated. and
men will always look with N re favor upon
what meets their expr ttations, than they vii
upon that which, from improper or inflated
views fails below them.
In regard to the amount per acre which
may be called fair crop Of fax seed, an ex-
perience OF five years IN Ohio, in addition to
the knowledge acquired by carrying on the
business of making Oil from the seed since
1856 in this city, has satisfied us that under
good husbandry from 10 to II bushels per
acre is good average crop, instead of Is or
90, as stated by "Once a farmer:" we do
not say that % bushels have not been raised,
neither do we say that 40 bushels of wheat
are not sometimes raised on an acre, but we
consider either an extraordinary, not an az
erage yield
The price of the fax seed is governed in a
great measure by the price of the oil made
from it. As an average, one bushel of56lbs
OF flax seed will bring as much here as 90 lbs
OF average quality of spring wheat. We
give below the relative prices ofthe two arti.
