Flax Culture as a Substitute for Wheat
Raising.

The New York Heralds Washing
ton correspondent writes:
One of the most important economic
questions of the time is: "What shall
take the place of wheat on farms
where it can no longer be raised at a
profit?" The question is one that has
received earnest consideration at the
Agricultural Department, but as yet
no product has been presented that
fully commends itself to the officials
as furnishing the answer. although
many have been suggested. Recent
Is, Prof. Willets, the Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture, had under con-
sideration |, tier from Ireland, VIII CHI
he thinks may offer a solution of the
problem if the statements made in it
can be sukstantiated. The writer saws:
81 have long had a very earnest in
terest in flax growing and linen manu-
facture, and now address you in be-
half of these industries have been
familiar with flax growing in America
since 1910. and thoroughly informed
of the household ma .ufacture. and
later the efforts to spin and weave liu-
! Ell by machinery, AMI the almost com
plete failure Of all Efforts in this di-
, rection. until now there are only two
establishments weaving-one ut Web
ster, Mass, and the other at Appleton,
Wis.--the later doing but little, and
neither weaving anything finer than
crash. Besides these there are thread
and yarn mills, mostly branches Of
British manufactures, and the twine
and cordage mills. A part Of the
reason why linen is not made in
America is that the raw material is
not as flexible and requires more land
more costly) manipulation and much
more labor than cotton, wool or silk.
Another reason is that when in 1861
Congress enacted tariff laws there was
no association to set forth the linen
interest, and the duty was left too low
to correspond with the high duty on
the raw material, while, with a low
duty upon cotton. wooden and silks.
capital turned to the latter as the
safest investment, and flax and linen
have been neglected. There can be
no raw flax industry until there is a
market for the fiber. There is moth.
ing in the climate or soil conflicting
with the assertion that just as. good
tax and linen may be produced in
every State in the American Union as
in any country. Germany now spins
and weaves the finest linen, and she
has no essentially differing climate
from America If the inducements
of Protective duties cannot lie given
in favor of linen manufacture, then
bounties must be offered in shape of
the appropriation of the present in
come from duties to encourage the
making of linen from American fiber.
At least such an experiment must be
made as will test and demonstrate the
| practicability or impracticability of
establishing this important industry
upon American soil. Many things

The Ballot Box Stuffed by
Somebody!
The Result OF Yesterdays Farce.

Yestesday was the great election
on the Natural Gas proposition.
The friends of the movement
were early on the ground and took
possession of the polls, and armed
with one of the celebrated "Wood"
safety Ballot Boxes proceeded to
hold an alleged election.
All day the people voted and all
went well until the counting began
Then 1t was discovered that there
was too many votes.
The poll book showed that 500
electors had voted, and there were
646 tickets in the box.
How they got there is mys-
terry.
1t was not discovered until the
judges had counted 323 yeas and
and then they counted noes until
206 were tailed and & tickets with
both "yes" ami "no" on them un-
scratched. Then it was discovered
that there were still l27 tickets in
the box untallied all of which were
against the proposition, the judges
having Tailed 20 votes more than
the poll books showed to be cast.
The friends of gas claim that
some unregenerate Philistine stuff
fed the box with "Noes," but we
hardly see the possibility of this
with the managers all present and
in favor of gas.
What would appear more rea-
sonable is that it was stuffed the
other way and all the yeas were
counted first to prevent disaster.
After the discovery the judges ad-
journed until this morning, one of
them taking possession of the box,
one of the keys and a third of the
tickets.
