fax used. Some fiaxcultural experi-

fax used. Some faxcultural expert
ments, he says, "show conclusively that
under proper conditions of cultivation, a
fine quality of spinning fibre can be
grown in many localities" Assistant
Secretary Willis, in speaking OF these
lfax.cultural Investigations, says that
they have demonstrated the fact OF the
possibilities of producing fax that shall
rival the best (product) of Europe" He
thinks that the farmer should grow the
crop; that retting and scutching should
be done by skilled workmen, just as hides
are made into leather by tanners, and
then the scutched or dressed fax should
be sent to the mills, as wool is after it ia
secured.
Examination of the reports of the
Bureau of Statistics shows that fax
culture in the United States is essentially
confined to pioneer settlement of any
locality. In 1880 about IS per cent. of
the crop (grown almost entirely for seed,
because faxseed is cash crop was pro-
duced east of the Mississippi river, while in
1892 only little more than one per cent.
was produced east of that river. 1t is
now prominent crop only in the five
States of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ne
braska, and South Dakota. These States
in 1892 produced over SO per cent. of all
the faxseed grown in the United States.
In these States the fibre is practically of
no value, except little which is roughly
dressed and used by upholsterers. Like
silk, fax is crop dependent for profit on
cheap manual labor, and so far in the
various trials, the same amount of work
required has always paid better when ap-
piled in other directions.
Consul General Mason, at Frankfort,
Germany, has written a letter to the
State Department, which has just been
published, suggesting that those farmers
who are raising fax for the seed, "might
find large market for their fibre in Ger
many" Large quantities of fax fibre
are annually imported into Germany
from Russia, and in view of the present
strained political relations of the two
nations, Mr.. Mason thinks America
might supplant Russia as source of
supply ofgood fax fibre. He thinks that
American fax, ifproperly cured and pre-
pared, will answer all purposes in this
country Germany. Herein lies the
whole difficulty in the way of making
profitable crop. It costs too much labor
high priced here as compared with that
of Russia--properly to cure and prepare
the fibre after the seed has been taken
off. Statistics show that so far in the
history of this country, it has not paid to
save the fibre for manufacture into thread
or cloth, except before the introduction
of cotton and woolen mills. And until,
as Secretary Rusk suggested, machinery
suitable to replace most of the manual
labor in the preparation of the fibre has
been invented, fax is not likely to be a
profitable crop, except for few years of
the first settlement of locality.

AGRICULT TU R AL.
The Future of Beet Sugar.


This industry has not been forced, anc
it's comparatively slow growth may
cause some to underestimate lts grea'
possibilities of benefit to the whole coun
try and as factor in developing the
riches of some of our states not now re-
garded as highly agricultural.
1t has not been possible to boom this
business, and the slow and conservative
methods necessary in the industry are
making its foundations strong and last.
ing.
While but few, if any, new factories
were built during 1892, the total output
of sugar was upwards of 27,OOO,OOC
pounds, as against l2,OOO,000 pounds
during 1891. Nebraska, California and
Utah now produce the most OF this sugar
but the soil of Wyoming is peculiarly
adapted to the sugar beet, and new fac.
tories are likely to be erected there.
The climate of Michigan is also we'll
fitted for the sugar beet, and with her
better shipping facilities, capital is already
looking in that direction for investment.
Foreign sugar manufacturers, both in
the West Indies and Continental Europe,
are commencing to realize that we are
soon to produce all of our sugar In
quality and equipment we now equal the
best work of Europe as regards beet
sugar, but the culture of the beet has not
reached the satisfactory point to either
buyer or raiser that will come with added
years of experience.
There are difficulties peculiar to our
climate and methods of farming. In
most of the states mentioned labor is
scarce and high, the fact existing that,
while every city swarms with unem.
ployed men, few Of them seek the rural
districts, and that the beet raising in
dustry can only utilize labor for portion
Of each year, adds to the difficulty.
Machinery in time will supplant much
hand labor and leave u good margin for
the beet planter and sugar maker. Level
culture of most hoed crops is being
adopted by progressive farmers, yet, in
the cultivation of the sugar beet, hill
culture is clearly the most productive.
There has also been a great waste of the
raw material at the factories, seemingly
unavoidable, which has also served to
keep down buying prices, but with the in
PRODUCTION of cold storage, and keeping
the bee:s for months in silos, this waste is
being lessened.
The sugar beet industry will also re
duce the cost of milk and butter in the
sections of country where it is introduced,
for during the Winter the beet pulp re-
fuse can be purchased at nominal sum,
and the highest authorities now concede
it to be valuable feeding ration.
Building of new factories will depend
upon the continuance of the sugar bounty,
and for the prosperity of this great in
dustry some reliable legislation is de-
manded-somethingt that can be depended
upon for period of years. Until this is
accomplished, capitalists will hesitate
before investing largely. AS our new
secretary of agriculture, Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, is from Nebraska, and therefore
thoroughly we'll informed as to the wants
of this industry, we look for marked
advance in it's prosperity during the
present administration. A. S. P.

Salt as a Manure.

There has been good deal of contro.
versy as to the value of salt as manure.
In looking for acknowledged authority
in this matter we copy from Todd in
"Young Farmers Manual (vol. 2. p
253): "There are a good many farmers
OF our country who have long advocated
the use of salt as o most excellent ma.
nure. But we have never been able to
obtain any reliable information on this
subject that would warrant it's use
Those who have advocated its use say
we think we believe and we know
that salt is q good manure. Still they
have never satisfied themselves that it is
so by any well.conducted experiments
Salt has been recommended to be sown
with winter wheat in autumn. But those
who have used it can give nothing
tangible by which the young farmer
could determine whether the salt was
the means of increasing or diminishing
the crop.
"1t has been asserted that when a few
hundred pounds of salt are sown it would
make the straw brighter and sitter; and,
consequently, the crop of grain would be
better than if no salt had been sown On
it. But when we call for positive knowI.
edge on this point we find nothing but
shrewd guessing as to the effect Of the
salt. Therefore, until we have some re-
liable facts on this point our advice would
be to young farmers not to spend much
money for salt to apply as a manure.
"This subject has elected vast amount
of thought and investigation in Europe.
A commission on the part of the French
Government have recently reported that
salt as q manure was of no value. Mr..
Laws, in paper read before the Royal
Agricultural Society, detailed some very
interesting experiments with salt which
showed that salt was OF no value at all
on his land, either in increasing the
amount of straw or grain" And he did
not hesitate to assert that the large
amount of money which is expended an.
nually on salt as a manure throughout
the British Isles is not returned in the
product.
There are certain kinds of soils where
an application of three or four bushels OF
salt per acre will benefit crop of grain or
grass more than enough to pay for the
salt and the labor expended in sowing it.
Some farmers have fancied that it has
been very effectual in killing grubs when
applied at the rate of three or four bushels
per acre. Mr.. John Johnston, one Of the
greatest wheat growers in the country
insists that salt is an excellent dressing
for winter wheat. Many others have
failed to see any good results from it.
| remember distinctly an occasion
where "brined" spring wheat was sown
brined to take out the oats. In order
TO fill out a certain plat about q bushel OF
unbrined wheat was sown. The line be.
tween the two was visible all the season
until harvest, and was in favor of the
salted wheat, most decidedly.

Flax Culture.

There are a good many people who
wonder why a country so large, and 80
varied in climate and soils as the United
States, finds it necessary to import most
the fax from which American made
lines are manufactured. Ip,the Report
of the Department OF Agriculture for
1892, Secretary Rusk seems TO think that
if the cost of production could be lessened
by means of improved machinery for
harvesting the fax and preparing the
fibre, this country might produce all the
