If you have a patch of briers to

the young briers come up let the cat

Flax Culture.
Farm and Preside.

- 'A'' ''iuS
Comparatively few farmers grow
iiaX. lihe reason for this is that
this crop is hard" on the soil. 1t
is said that a siXty-five bushel crop
OF corn annually removes from the
sou twenty pounds of phosphoric
acid. seventy-five pounds of nitro
gen and sixty pounds of potash. A
fliteen-bushel crop of flax takes from
the soil eighteen pounds of phos-
phorlc acid, fifty-four pounds Of nj
trosen and t~wenty-nine pounds Of
potash. 1t will be seen from this
lilat q corn crop remove a larger
amount of %fertilizing clements: vet
IT leaves the land in better condition
than a flax crop.
The reason why flax lean,s land
n poorer condition than some crops
that remove a larger amount of
nitrogen, etc, has not been well un-
d~hrstcod. 1t has been thought that
flax plants eXcreted substances in
furious to itself. However, Prof.
Soiiy, OF North Dakota, has upset
this theory. He claims the reason
HAN cannot be grown on the same
land for more than two or three
years in succession is due to a fun
gus disease. This fungus may at
attack the plants at any stage of
growth. 1t makes them wilt, hence
the name '~'hax-wilt."
After this disease is once in the
soil it takes the removal (growtn)
or four or five other crops before
flax will again make a good crop.
BY keeping the spores of flax wilt
out of the soil, this crop will succeed
itself with as goods results as is the
case with other crops.
by treating flax seed before SOW
ing with formalin in a name sim
liar to that in which oats and barley
are treated for smut, the spores of
flax wilt can be kept out of the soil.
Should the remedies offered by
Prof. Bolley for growing flax in short
rotation prove as successful else
where as they have with him in
North Dakota, this crop will, as it
deserves, be grown more than now.

aenominational papers have not had
the effect OF bringing into c~rystallized
form the opinions of the leaders on
these questions. Tons of publica-
tons have been devoted to them, and
and the opinion of the leading men
OF the denomination have been ex-
pressed, but there have been others
who have been thinking hard and
saving little, who will have their
say here. Great debates are promised.
There are fourteen standing COM
mlttees, in whose hands most of the
great problems have been placed.
Comprising a member from each of
the annual conferences, of which
there are 1874, these committees have
been holding annual meetings since

OF the General Conference, have not

a cu~t-and-dried form the action for
the general body to take. There are
seven commissions, each engaged in
some particular work. as we'll as six
boards, which form permanent execu-
tive CODES.
Besides the business that will come
before the body form its regular
agencies. there is a clause which per-
mits any member of the denomina-
lion to present a subject of business
by memorial. There will probably
he hundreds Of these memorials.
Eight bishops will be elected.
Among those who, it is understood,
will be elevated to the episcopacy is
the Rev. DR.. William Alfred Quayle,
CT Chicago. DR.. Quayle is one of the
most prominent ministers of the
church, and he will likely receive
the support of a large majority of
the delegates on the first ballot. He
is now pastor of st. James church,
Chicago, and is regarded as one of
the most eloquent and most f%orceful
preachers in the denomination.
There are four constitutional
amendments to come before the Gen
eral conference, to be decided accord
ing to the instructions of the dele
gates to the annual conference. The
vote on changing the ratio of repre-
~sentatives of the Iowa Conference
from % to 90 has been 2,476 for and
s 1853 against. o.. the question Of
an"ing tho ratio of the Wisconsin
Conference from i to 60 the ote has
haen 2,2lG for and 5,765 against. The
vote on the change of the ratio of the
Illinois Conference from % to IS
has been 1894 for and 5,77G against.
The great fight of the session is ex-
! pected to be over the amendment for
the election of ace bishops. Many
q the most prominent Methodists
hGth lay and clerical, have announced
themselves as opposed to the amend
laent.
Reports presented on the state OF
the church show that it has made
great strides since the last meeting
in 1901. The growth has been par
ticularly great since 1900. For that

Changing the Tune.

On April II of last year the ma
tional treasury could show for the
fiscal year up to that date a surplus
of $4,000 900 and the democratic
press enlarged on the evils of piling
I'D money in this style. On April II
Of this year, for a corresponding
part of the fiscal year, the deficit is
S &c, 600 900, and the democratic
comment is reversed. A surplus was
denounced as bad, and now a deficit
is condemned as no better, possibly
worse. The furry is responsible for
the falling off in customs receipts,
but he republican party is held to be
accountable for the furry. and for
surplus or deficit as case may be.
Pleasing the opposition is a difficult
that they prefer a surplus to a def
cit, and are seldom unable to point
| with pride to the former.
The government has at this time
an available cash balance of Over
$250,0 600 900. which is a comfortable
for the expected or unexpected. The
balance Of trade in our favor is the
brightest point. When the furry
struck the country there was no de-
felt. and the treasury looked forward
to a surplus for the fiscal year of
about 100000 90. Perhaps there
will be a deficit of this size which
/ shows that a currency shortage, If
that is the trouble, is expensive to

PORTLAND, June 10. - The
great Rose Festival OF Portland is
now a matter OF history, 1t was
easily the most eventiful week Port
land ever enjoyed. The convention
OF the Pacific Coast Ad Mems League
started at the Commercial Club Mon
day morning, closing the day with a
dinner that was simply perfect.
Admiral Swinburne and the other
officers of the Charleston, the York
town and six torpedo boats partici-
pated in every event, and had much
to do with the success OF the pro-
gramme. The parades were all stu
perior, the automobile races we're re-
markable and the attendance both OF
visitors and home people at each and
every feature, is conclusive proof Of
the prosperity OF the Pacific North
west.

There is no juster nor more expedient
method OF testing the efficacy OF the
mandate; and its instant success
might make it even more palatable
