FLAX IN NORTH DAKOTA
PROMISE OF IMMENSE CROP
merce Looks Over the
Fields.

George Heising of the chamber of COM
merce came in this morning from. trip
through North Dakota. Mr.. Heising gave
special attention to the condition of flax
and brings very favorable reports. The
general promise is for magnificent yield
as the flax in it's present stand is almost
perfect In places the bulb has already
formed and the plant is beginning to
change color. .l..-.
Fifteen per cent is the estimate Mr..
Heising makes of the acreage that can be
classified as late flax. Eighty-ive per
cent Of the total acreage is flax seeded at
about the usual time and under about
normal conditions. OF this acreage prob
ably one-half or about AZ per cent OF
the total area is in such shape that the
yield may even now almost be said to be
assured, and the remaining area is grad
ually coming to the same point OF rela-
tive safety. For the Is per cent that is
classified as late fax, the promise is ex-
cellent, but most Of this will be SO late
in maturing that the possibility Of some
damage by early frost must be consid-
cred. ~. ..... @.
On the whole, North Dakota stands to
break all records this year in flax pro-
duction. The enthusiasts in the state,
says Mr.. Heising, are talking Of 25,OOO,O
bushels for North Dakota alone. Mr..
Heising made some calculations as to the
total yield but does not care to give an
estimate in bushels until the general
stand is nearer maturity,

FAVORABLE TEMPERATURES
Growth of All Vegetation Rapid and


4
The government climate and crop serv
ice bulletin for Minnesota for the past
week is summarized as follows:
The temperatures during the week have
been favorable to healthy and rapid growth
of all vegetation; the oath was the warmest
day of the week, with temperatures OF 80
degrees or a little higher at several points.
In Klttson and Marshall counties there has
been no rain during the week, but elsewhere
there have been showers somewhere in the
state on one or more days Of the week, those
on the Oath and 25th being most widely dis
tributed. Some of the showers were very
heavy locally, and somo were attended by Sc
we're hailstorms which ruined standing grain
in comparatively small areas; the hailstorms
visited parts of Kandiyohi, Renville, Red
wood, Brown and Blue Earth counties. In
some places high winds and heavy rains
lodged and tangled grain so badly that 1t will
be difficult to gather. In south central and
southeastern counties the showers following
the heavy rains of the 10Th have made the
ground SO soft that in, many fields binders
cannot be used till the soil dries. Spring
wheat continues promising except in small
areas in the south, where there is rust; it is
generally all we'll headed, and filling we'll,
and in southern portions it is ripening rap
idly; in few places little has already been
cut. Winter wheat and rye are in shock or
stack. A fine barley crop has been harvested
in northern portions, while in the south most
of the crop fs already harvested; a little is
discolored by rains. Oats are ripening rap
idly, and their cutting is going on in south
ern counties. Many OF the wild grass mead
ows cannot be cut till the water on them
recedes. The early fax crop is generally a
good one. and it is ripening; the later crop
Is not so good. Corn has grown rapidly, and
it is generally in tassel though rather small
for the season. Potatoes are fine. There is
a heavy second growth of clover. = r. d . = -

Professor ]. C. Monaghan OF the Uni

on Diplomacy and Its Relation to Com
merce," at the Columbian Catholic sum-

urged that the United States had never
had greater need for an effective diplo-

when European nations are beginning to
fear the american Commercial INVASION
and are considering plans to avert 1t.
The speaker suggested that the diplomacy
of commercial reciprocity was what was
needed. Commenting upon the peace con-
ference at The Hague, the speaker called
attention to the fact that the pope had
not been invited to attend. and ventured
the opinion that If he had at that time
pronounced for socialism, not one of the
