N.hy Flax les.

81. T.: Bolley OF the n orth Dakota
Agricultural college at Fargo has
made discovery in connection with
flax that will make him more famous
as scientific Investigator and also
result bencficially to the farmers OF
North and South Dakota and Mime.
sofa and other flax growing states.
For the last two or three years
there has been great deal OF fax
wilt, or fax sickness, the cause Of
which has been a mystery to grain
men and crop experts. = The fax
would come up in nice shape and for
the first week or two 1t would grow as
luxuriantly as the most optimfstical
farmer could wish. Then the stalks
would wilt and die, and in some fields
the ground would eventually become
entirely barren. Professor Bolley has
carried his investigations far enough
to convince hip that he has found
the true solution OF the mystery.
The cause OF the trouble is para
sitic disease, or fungus, which grows
inside the young plants, similar to
the manner in which the smut attacks
the wheat plant. only it soon kills
the flax, where the smut continues In
the wheat stalk till after maturity.
The worst feature OF the growth is
that the parasite will lie in the ground
several years, living on the old flax
straw, and even remaining after the
land has been cropped in wheat two
or more years.
Experiments are now being con.
Quoted by Professor Bolley in an effort
to discover some method Of getting
the disease out of the soil, but so far
there has been no success. Further
efforts will be made to disinfect that
flax seed as wheat is now given the
formaldehyde treatment for smut.
The professor issues the following
warning to the farmers Of North
Dakota:
Do not put flax on all land, keep
one field clear.
Cease sowing flax year after year on
the same land. Put at least one cul-
tivated crop between flax crops.
Burn as much of the old fax straw
aud stubble as possible.
Raise your own fax seed, grade it
up for the best; thresh your own seed
ia your own machine, IL possible, to
prevent infection from other fields.
Store the flax In clean, disinfected
bins.
