FLAX ON THE SLIDE
It Holds Just Above $1.2o Now
July l It Was Almost Up
to $3.50.
w. II. Mcpherson of Valley City, N.
~ - -.
D., Says Conditions Do Not
! Warrant Decline.

The steady decline In flax that has car
ried prices off almost 60 cents bushel
from the high points Of the early summer
does not appear to have spent its full
force yet. and further declines were made
this week. AS late as July last No.
flax in Minneapolis was still holding in the
neighborhood Of SLIT, and had been
around that level for the preceding two
months High prices naturally induced
many farmers to SOW flax. with the
increase ON that account and the in
creased acreage. following the breaking of
new land by the settlers coming into the
northwest, there was everything in the
early outlook to indicate a heavy crop
TO come.
Traders in flax began to discount this
after a time, and every week that passed
witnessed a moderate decline. The be-
ginning Of the movement Of new flax into
Minneapol and Duluth helped along this
decline. No seed held just under ST..
July /; 1T is now hanging just over $120.
Many traders predict that it will GO under
81. Others think 1t Is low enough.
A "eulr' Argument.
There has been such an absence Of any
thing favorable to flax prices in the daily
comment that a bullish flax argument is
interesting for its novelty, II for no other
reason.
w. Fl. Mcpherson of Valley City, N. D.,
Is a bull on flax. Mr.. Mcpherson lives
where he has opportunity to make close
personal investigation and has given he
J our his opinion based upon recent
inspection. He says: II do not believe
there will be over Is per cent Of the flax
threshed in North Dakota that will grade
No. /. the balance will be all rejected.
Instead Of a good yield Of flax. l think
that the average Of the state will fall
below. rather than above seven bushels to
the acre. Ihave talked in the last week with
several threshers who have threshed early
sown flax and they report that the high
est they have threshed out so far went
nine bushels to the acre and from that
down to three.
Before the heavy frosts Of a month
ago every indication pointed to a large
yield. The stalks were strong and well
headed out; thick upon the ground and
we'll balled, but now upon examination
I find that instead Of the balls being filed
with seed about SO per cent of them are
empty About 25 per cent have good No.
! seed in them and about 10 per cent con-
tain black seed and the other Is per cent
has fallen off on the ground.
Since this has become known, it has
prompted the farmers to investigate the
condition of the flax yet standing, of
which there is, considerable, and the ma
