The following regarding sowing flax
this spring, is clipped from Chicago
paper; "The position of flaxseed,"
says Chicago specialist, sis unique.
Flaxseed is one of the safest and
most attractive Of investments. The
crushers are generally without stocks,
and when they are compelled to buy
by the demand, which change for
better times will force through paints,
the rise is likely to be strong and last
ing, as the price is now at an export
basis and phenomenally low. If this
demand is for any reason retarded I'M
til spring, and prices still refuse to rise,
remember that with favorable time
for sowing spring wheat, unless flax
seed is selling at least zoe over the
present price of wheat, scarcely an
acre of Northwestern soil will be re-
served for this product, as it's we'll
demonstrated fact that the costs of
raising is fully Csc per bushel more
than wheat. AS this same condition
holds good everywhere, the worlds
crop would almost to a certainty be
curtailed, and the price rise CORES
