RESISTANT FLAX
PROVES A SUCCESS
PROFESSOR HoLLEY GREATLY
ENCOURAGED OVER REPORTS
FROM FARMERS WHO HAVE Ex.
PERlMENTED WITH THE WILT
RESISTANT FLAX.

Professor Bolley has now received
most of the reports from the resistant
flax which was distributed by him dur
ing the season OF 1908. These reports
In most part have been OF a very en-
couraging nature.
Seven distinct selections of fax were
distributed to some fifty different
farmers located in different portions
OF the state. Tie object of the work
was to ascertain whether these select
strains of wilt resistant fax would re-
tain their resistance In the different
farming regions OF the state. The
farmers who went into the cooperative
experiments with Professor Bolley
agreed not to sell or dispose OF any of
their seed until after the second crop.
After the final report is in study will
be made OF the records of the different
samples and those which prove to be
OF SD ecial merit in wilt resistance and
yield will be given special experiment
station number, under which 1t can be
reproduced for seed purposes and dis
tributed.
The following is a quotation from a
letter written by ]. S. Murphy. Minot,
N. D., and is good example of the
results obtained in the trials in 1908.
"A year ago I got thirty pounds of
resistant fax seed from you. / planted
it on soil that seemed to be thoroughly
fiax-sick. Up to the time the crop
began to blossom 1t was thin and rath-
er spindling, though 1 think it all
grew. sowed also a strip of Minne-
sofa Primost flax minnesota 25), be-
tween this fax and the Minnesota
Primost fax planted patch of millet
twenty-five feet wide. The primost
fax about two acres, was not worth
cutting.
AFTER your resistant fax came into
bloom it showed more vitality and
filed out in fine shape. From the
thirty pounds got sixteen bushels and
twenty four pounds OF nice fax. The
seed is plump and nice have graded
out about two bushels of the smallest
seed and shall SOW the same about
May "a or 25. I am thoroughly con-
vinced that this flax is immune from
willis. / have no fax-sick land upon
which to sow all OF this seed. am
going to plant it on ground ethat was
fiax-sick in 1907, upon which l raised
corn and millet last year. Will let
you know the results.
Thanking you for the work you are
doing in behalf of the farmers, l am,
Very truly yours,
"J. s. Murphy
Other farmers have reported even
higher yields than that given by Mr..
Murphy, and in a number of cases
Professor Bolley visited the fields and
knows to certainty that the ground
was thoroughly fiax-sick. The results
for the first years work are very en-
couraging. A new circular letter has
been sent out to the different farmers
In cooperation in this work which
gives full directions as to seeding for
the second years test. The seed is
again to be sown upon as sick land as
the persons growing 1t can possibly
secure. The result Of the two years
trial given with the experiments which
have been conducted at the experiment
station here for a number of years will
allow a proper conclusion to be drawn
regarding the value of the seed as to
disease resistance.

Rismarok HospitaI Repaired.

Bismarck, N. D., May 24.-The dam
age done to the basement Of the st.
Alexius hospital is not as great as an
ticipated at first. About $500 or 5000
dollars will cover the entire loss. There
WAS no damage to the building itself
and outside of the basement there was
only broken windows to be replaced.
The boiler supplying the operating
rooms was not impaired and surgical
operations have been performed as
usual every day since the accident.
The friends of the sisters in charge
are pleased that the damage is so lit
tie as 1t turns out to be.

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All In the Apprentice Class

We Are All In the Apprentice Glass.
When a simple change of diet
brings back health and happiness the
story is briefly told. A lady OF
Springfield Ill, says:
After being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble,
| received a shock four years ago
that left me in such a condition tn t
my life was despaired of.
Il could get no relief from doctoi (
nor from the numberless heart and
nerve remedies l tried, because
didn't know that coffee was daily
putting me back more than the doc
tors could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of friend
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and aginst my convictions |
gradually improved in health until
for the past six or eight months
have been entirely free from nervous
ness and those terrible sinking weak
ening spells of heart trouble.
My troubles all came from the
use of coffee which I had drunk from
ChlAuHOOu anu yet Ii'ty o!oS' ppCciiCi
when | quit coffee and TOOK mp tire
use of Postum"
Many people marvel at the effects
of leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum, but there is nothing mar
yelous to it-only common sense.
Coffee is a destTOyer-Postum is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.
