Can North Dakota Raise
Flax for Fiber Purposes?

and that common tow is not called
fibre by linen mill men. They LOOK
upon tow as a by-product of fibre
mill. They also agree in calling the
kind of stuff that is produced in tow
mills by simply chewing up the flax
straw, tow" They never speak OF it
as fibre.
With regard to Mr.. Blehdon's state
ments in The News under date of July
S: If his proof, as there published,
that North Dakota cannot prod Ire any
flax fibre, is the sort of argument he
placed before Messrs, Aldrich and
Payne it makes ii easier for one to un-
derstand the difficulties under which
those gentIeme 4 labor when construct
ing the tariff bill Mr.. Blehdoa knows
that the mlms that he WINS in Nerth
Dakota are only tow mills. We krt "
that he was 'Blehd" when he bought
them, provided he expected that sort
of stuff was to be classed as. lax fibre,
and that he could sell it at the linen
mills. Mr.. Blehdon should NOT feel so
sorry about his failure to make use of
North Dakota flax fibre after it is run
through q threshing machine and
chewed up in tow mills as to condemn
all possible fibre production for all
time to come.
The North Dakota experiment sta
tion has each year, for a number of
years, had a number Of fine plots OF
fibre fax under experimental growth,
and we have raised fibre fax in sew
eral portions OF North Dakota which is
Of fine quality. So far as know there
has been no fibre mill in North Dakota,
To call a tow mill fibre mir' is as
reasonable as to call boiler house an
engineering building. H. L. Bollcy.

To The Forum: / am not trying to
pacify either one Of you gentlemen
Everybody enjoys your fight However,
must reiterate that the results of
your various editorials are more or less
misleading.
/, perhaps, did not make myself clear
in the last note, as both editors con-
tend that 1 did not understand what
they were talking about This is pos
sible, But I win say again that it is
unreasonable to expect that good linen
can be made from common seed flax
straw after it has been run through
an ordinary threshing machine, and
then further ground up in common
tow mill. 1t is also very foolish to say
that North Dakota cannot raise fax
fibre
I have seen a flax fibre promoter or
had a letter from one almost every
week in the year for the last six years.
/ have shipped them many bundles of
flax straw to try out their processes
upon, and have always told them that
when they plant real fibre mill in
North Dakota and ask that fibre flax
be grown to be used in 1t, that North
Dakota can produce any length of
straw and grade of fineness in fibre
needed.
/ understand well that most of these
promoters only wish to sell stock
This, however, has nothing whatever
to do with the climate of North Da-
kota, or its soil, or the possibilities of
the North Dakota farmers producing
fibre straw whenever there is fibre
mill in which to work 1t.
I would again call attention to the
fact that tow mills are not fibre mills

Col. Lounsberry's Washington Letter

proof he Immediately returned to his
former home where he resumed his
residence with his family.
1t was held that every act Of the
entryman from the inception of his
claim to his final proof was with a
studied purpose to perform such acts
only as he considered essential to a
show of compliance with the mere let
ter of the law and regulation, with a
view solely of acquiring title to the
land by purchase, and that he never
at any time had an honest intention
of making the land home.
1t was said that the aim and OBJ
ject of the homestead law Is the do
nation of the public lands to settlers
seeking to establish agricultural
homes thereon, upon the conditions
that actual residence be established
thereon and that the land be culti-
vated and improved. 1t was de-
signed to have the public lands set
tied upon and improved by home
seekers rather than, have them dis
posed of for the purpose of revenue.
The communication provision was the
relief offered against unforeseen casu-
alties or accidents such as failing
health, disabling injuries. offers OF
better employment, and an infinite
variety of things that might occur
within five years to change the de-
sires and aims OF life. on the part OF
the homesteader, but there must have
been an original bond fide intent to
make the land a home. Indeed the al
legation in the homestead affidavit Is
to that effect. Ten years ago held
in my Investigations in North Da-
kota that there would sooner or later
be decision on the exact lines Of
this decision, that would stop fling on
homesteads by city people and travel
ingmen, where there was no intention
to make the land a home.
This decision is most important and
may be made far reaching, and II
should have the effect to check specu-
lative entries.
The department is determined tc
stop the use of the Communication clause
OF the homestead law for the purpose
of acquiring timber and other vaIua-
BILE lands for speculation. IL is only
necessary to go back to the early days
in the Red river valley and it viii be
found that hundreds of entries were
made by men who were employed fol-

time made proof and decided rheil

er lands were picked up through the
employment of lumber jacks and SER
want girls and school mans who made
summer camp on their homesteads.
An attempt was made TO head off that
by requiring fourteen months resi-
dence, but an accommodating secre-
tary held that the first six months
could be considered as constructive
residence, and that only eight months
actual residence would be necessary.
But that decision has been abrogated
and now fourteen months actual resi-
dence is required, with no allowance
for going away to work to make a liv-
ing or for any purpose except some
thing unavoidable or unforeseen and of
a nature that leaves the residence
practically continuous. Official en-
ployment can no longer be accepted as
constructive residence in commuted
cases.

tor of the reclamation service 1t was
held that person who has completed
"a homestead entry for less than 160

Washington, D. c., July 5.-To The
land decision reads as follows:
A homestead entry made with no
intention of establishing permanent
bona fide home upon the land, but
merely with a view to submitting a
showing sufficient to support commu-
tation, must be cancelled, notwith-
standing the proof offered shows full
technical compliance with respect to
inhabitancy of the land for the period
ordinarily required in communication
cases.
The purpose Of the homestead law
is the donation of the public lands
to actual settlers seeking to establish
bona fde homes thereon, and the pro-
vision respecting Communication in no
wise changes that purpose but merely
affords a means Of committing further
residence to cash in merftorious cases
lawfully inflated and prosecuted to
the dates of commutaton.
This decision was rendered in the
case of Gilbert Satrang in a Dickinson
case. May 13, 1909, and will be found
in volume 81, land decisions, page $50.
Satrang lived in South Dakota viii
lage and was engaged in merchan-
dising. He rented his house tenn
pororarily and moved on to his home
stead in North Dakota, at the end OF
six months after entry. and at the
end of fourteen months made COM
mutation proof The improvements
consisted Of shack 10x12, and three
acres of breaking which had never
been cropped, value $50. Residence
was had on the claim one summer,
the party returning to his home In
South Dakota Christmas, from whence
he came back to make hnal proof In
January.
1t was found by the general land
office that he had not made his entry
in good faith; that he made 1t with
the intention of occupying the land
only for such short period as would
permit him, following the strict letter
of the law, to pay the government the
purchase price by Communication of his
entry and then abandon the land as
home. He settled upon the land
within six months from date Of entry;
he remained on 1t about eight months
excepting tow temporary absences OF
few days each, and made proof two
days after the expiration of fourteen
months. His wife lived with him on

FORCE BUTCHERS

According to a statement by DIR. Al.
w. Dunham. Fargo milk and meat In
spector the only way Fargo butchers
and meat dealers can comply with the
new North Dakota sanitary law is to
have their animals killed in slaught-
err house at Moorhead. AT the present
time there is no slaughter house in
Fargo which meets the requirements
and which the meat inspector will
stamp with approval.
The far-reaching affects of the de-
cision rendered by Judge Chas. Al. Pol
lock are now being felt" says the meat
inspector. 1t will be remembered that
according to the decision of the dis
trict court OF Cass county a slaughter
house in the First ward, which was
the official slaughter house of the CITY.
was branded q nuisance and ordered
closed.
Now there is not a meat dealer in
the city willing to take a chance in
expending money in slaughter house
in any section OF the city, with the
chances good of it being officially
closed by a court order.
The line of traffic to Moorhead con-
stitutes interstate commerce and 1t is
possible that there is some ruling to
comply with as formulated by the in
terstate commerce commission.
sTt appears queer to me-" said one
gentleman to The Forum, ''that Fargo
business men should be forced to take
their cattle across the river, into an
other state, and leave their good mon
ey, when 1t should remain in Fargo
and North Dakota. However small the
industry may be, don't think that il
should be the policy of Fargo to drive
1t from the city. We need all the men
employed in this city that can be Sc
