The agricultural department at Wash
ington has the subject of fax-raising
under consideration. A recent letter
from a gentleman of Ireland has been
published. The writer of the letter has
been familiar with flax growing and
linen manufacturing since 1910, and in
his communication he says:
There are only two establishments
weaving-one at Webster, Mass, and
the other at Appleton, Wisconsin, the
latter doing but little, and neither
weaving anything finer than crash.
There is nothing in the climate or soil
conflicting with the assertion that Just
as good flax and linen may be produced
in every state in the American UNION
as in any country. Germany now spins
and weaYes the finest linen. and she has
no essentially different climate from

full IN America from the facility with
which the people take up and adopt any
improved processes and appliances. and
this may be the salvation of the linen
industry, of the importance of which
there is no question. There is every
reason why American farmers should
produce 100000 acres of flax. for both
seed and fiber, over and above what is
now produced, which would give r.
0G0,000 TO 15000.000 bushels of seed.

industries, soon work up an industry

The seed should be sown at the rate of

land. brushed in. and no further atten-
ton is needed, excepting that any large
weeds may be removed. until the flax
has turned for half its length, when
it should be pulled, cured and cared for,
to keep it bright, in the same way as is
done with hay. The seed may be taken
off by ripping. or by roller threshing,
and there will be market for all fax
straw thus grown. at $50 per ton. The
crop should give two and half tons of
straw to an acre, and u to Is bushels of
seed. The cost of pulling, in Canada,
is So per acre"

We have been expecting 1t, but it has
come little earlier than we thought it
would. There is chance for base ball
players to be pensioned. Assistant Sec
rotary Busey has directed the pension
Office to reopen the case of George W.
Allen, who claims pension for an in
jury received in 1882, while playing ball.
The evidence shows that the regiment
to which Allen belonged was ordered
out by the commanding officer to play
ball, that the men might in this way
receive exercise. While playing under
orders, Allen strained his arm, and he
now asks for pension. Mr.. Busey
holds that the man was in line of duty.
He thinks that the evidence adduced to
prove injuries is not sufficient, but d.
reefs that the claimant be given an OPP
portunity to furnish, if he can, suffi-
cient evidence to support his allega-
ton, in which case he directs that a
pension be issued.

Chief Mayes- of the Cherokee Nation

Chief Mayes, of the Cherokee Nation,
refuses to convene the council in special
session to consider the matter of sell
ling the Strip or the outlet to the govern
ment. The Cherokees have an idea that
they will get about So an acre for six
millions of acres on the outlet; but their
figures are probably high. 1t is plo-
posed by some OF the friends to the
opening scheme TO settle friendly In
dams on the outlet, they claiming that
the CheroKees could not object. This
would give the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes hopes, and the land now occupied
by those two tribes could be thrown
