Ottawa, Can, June "a serious

to bring Torrey and Alexander, the fa-
nous American evangelists here from

that he will not come to Ottawa unless
the American edition Of the Torrey-;;

What makes the tour "sore' one
here is that in both their three..years'
British campaigns and their one in Tor

that the British edition was about fin
ished and that a Chicagoan (under-
stood to be a Chicago publishing CONF
pany) turned out an American edition
under an agreement that. the evangel-
lists should use no other hymnal. The

= One Of the greatest outings ever
held in MINI eapolis> was comprised m.
the, auction sale Of lots at Seven Oaks
yesterday by Edmund g. Walton. This
magnificent residence property lies at
Forty second avenue s and Lake street,
in one Of the most beautiful and sight
,ly locations in the city, and yesterday
It was the mecca of thousands.
Mr.. Walton estimated last evening
that at least 10000 people who has be
come wonderfully interested in his
methods Of disposing Of property, and
at the same time of determining Its
real value, attended the sale.
In keeping with the generous advertis-
ing plans which Mr.. Walton makes a
conspicuous. feature Of all his sales,
dozens Of beautiful and costly pres
ents were given away during the course
Of the afternoon. These gifts have been
carefully selected, and are highly
priced for their artistic excellence as
well as their intrinsic value.
The sale Of lots was conducted by
who was highly successful in holding
his vast audience. The colonel would
give away presents and then sell few
lots, and in that way the afternoon was
spent most enjoyably. The lots lie
high and dry in one Of the most pictur-
esdue parts Of the city, and dozens of
them were snapped up as great bar
gains.
The first lots went off like hot cakes,
and the bidding continued lively
throughout the sale.
The property will be open to inspec-
ton today and reservations Of lots can
be made on the grounds. The big sale
so auspiciously inaugurated will be
continued Monday and Tuesday. Mr..
Walton is highly pleased with the asuc-
cess achieved. He saids5
"The people are buying property,
and they are buying my property, for
by my auction sales g place every lot
squarely on it's merits. It goes to the
highest bidder. at the price at which it
is valued. The people make their own
prices on my lots, and that, in the final
analysis, must be the test of valuations.
Saturdays sale was a great success,
and we will continue it with all our

Fargo, N. D., June 2.--Wilt-resistant
flax has been developed by Professor
n. I. Bolley of the North Dakota agri-
d eHs problem to ns solve IN S.
curing plant that is rust resistant.
Some years ago, when the flax crop
Of this state began to fail when planted
continuously on the same 8. land, Pro

to flax wilt and began an investigation
to discover q wilt-resistant plant.
that would grow in soil that was most
virnlently affected with wilt disease
and in plots Of land where ordinary fax
would live only few days after it's
termination.
Just about the time he was ready
to announce the success Of his invest
ant fax, he discovered that his new
flag was falling a victim to fax rust.
Continued Investigations led to the
discovery that the fax rust differs
largely from the wheat rust. It comes
directly from the fax straw and not

The flax rust is different. It comes
from the old straw. The spores on the
black spots Of the straw that has lain
on the ground all winter, terminate
and are blown upon the new flax plant
| in the spring, developing the sexual.
stage. This is followed by yellow
spores, corresponding to the redrust
stage on wheat, and later by the black
spores. Nh ts
The demonstrations showed that flax
sown year after year on the same land
became more rusty as well as subject to
wilt. 49, ~.'
."Farmers,' says Professor Bolley,
'tmust cease to sow flax in close rota-
ton. There must be a series Of other
crops in between, allowing the fax
fungi to die out. The rust will prob
ably die in one season, but it takes
years to eradicate the wilt. Hence
forth, in order to continue the growing
Of fax on fax-sick ground to develop
i the resistance to rust, it will be neces-
sary to gain plants which are resist
4 ant to rust or to keep the ground thor
oily cleaned from the old straw, so as
to escape the action Of the rust. It Is
now fully demonstrated that wilt-re-
| sistant flax can be obtained, but it is
much more difficult matter TO- find
1 plants that are rust resistant.
! Professor Bolley's statement is I'M

that has been issued to the fax farmers
