of fiaxseed and linseed oil. Indications
were of a flax crop in this country
SUFFICIENT for all requirements but the
plant became affected with disease re-

surplus stocks of seed and oil on hand
we were obliged to go into foreign

no surplus remaining, the competition

is the old, old story of a wronged

for her boy, a false friend, an
erring wife and a husband who OBJ
literates himself are the actors in
this wonderfully pathetic picture.
