Flax Culture.

Notes upon the growth of fax are in
order at the season when the farmers are
deciding what TO plant Most of the FAX
grown on the coast is sowu by contract
with the oil makers, and the seed only is
used. The future OF this industry a
somewhat promblema,ical, owing To the
fact that there is an immense area Of land
IN the northwestern states and territories
where fax seed can be produced al the
minimum cost. When the black prairie
soil is broken up, fax can he sJwn on the
sod and fits it for winter wheat the next
year. when otherwise it wonld be fallow.
Eastern Washington Territory, Idako,
Montana, Dakota and Nebraska are cer-
tain to produce immense quantities OF fax
seed and will supply many local OIL mills
This is where the problem for California
farmers comes III The only msrgin that
the manufacturers Of lins3ed oil on this
coast have to enable them to hold the To-
cal markets, is the cost OF freight On oil
made elsewhere. The market for OIL cake
is not steady one as yet, for the faiting
Of fine cattle upon it is not yet general
among stock growers There is, however,
50 decided an increase Of interest IN dairy
ing and beef ef-Produeing, that the demand
for oil cake may be expected to improve.
As matters now stand, the contract d stem
is the only one upon which the farmer
can be assured a sale fol his haxsred.
The soil for faI should be deep and
strong, ground upon which corn was
grown the previous year is t.ie best for the
purpose, but fax may follow whea'. bar
ley or hay crop. Thorouzh ard deep

An examination of the delta of the
Mississippi shows that, for distance Of
about three hundred miles Of this de-
posit, there are bsrisd forests of largs
trees, one over the other, with inters,ices
of sand. Ten distinct forest growths of
this nature have been observer, which
must have succeeded one another. These
trees are the bald cypress of the S"u:hern
States. Some have BEEN observed over
twenty Eve fert in diameter, and one con
tanned 300 annual rings- In some in
stances, too, these huge trees have grown
over the stumps Of others equally larsea
From these facts geologists have assumed
the antiquity Of each forest growth at ter
thousand years, or one hundred thousand
for the whole. This estimate, however,
would not include the interval Of time
which doubtless was very Considerable
that elapsed between the ending of one
of these vast and wonderful forests and
the beginning of another.
