FLAX NOT LOST
IN NORTHWEST
Essential to Follow Methods Of Seed
Treatment and the Methods Of
Handling the Soil.

Professor Bolley, through his
studies with the fax crop during
period of approximately twenty
years, has reached results in his
work which assure him that there
is no reason why the crop should
be lost to the farmers of the north
west.
At the same time he has reached
as definite conclusion that the
crop will be lost unless the grow
ers of flax seed in each and every
community can be brought to un-
derstand that this crop Is attacked
by persistent root diseases, parasi-
tic fungi which remains year after
year in the soil. Further. farmers
must learn that it is absolutely es-
sential to follow proper methods Of
seed treatment and proper methods
of handling the soil in order to
keep the ground in a healthy con-
dition for this crop.
For this reason he has decided to
undertake a campaign of education
regarding flax and its products and
culture and especially regarding
the methods of handling the seed
and the soil, which shall be very
much more definite in it's attempt
to reach the farmer directly than
has heretofore been done. He
feels that the flax crop and all of
it's allied industries are essentially
at stake in the northwest.
The fact that the crop is especi-
ally light this year in North Da-
kota and the northwestern states,
because of the excessive drouth,
makes the work all the more diff
cult and all the more important.
Any farmer who wishes informa-
ton regarding fax. or any farmer
who has this year grown a good
grade of any one of the pure breeds
of fax should put himself in com.
municatlon with Professor Bolley.
If any peculiar disease or difficult
ties in the growth of the crop have
been noticed, specimens and infor-
nation regarding the same should
be mailed to him at once, and will
receive careful attention.
!, Before the crop is harvested this
season Professor Bolley and his
assistants expect to visit most of
the important flax growing areas
of North Dakota, and in case of a
crop being attacked by any special
diseases he will either visit the
farm in person or send d man who
is proficient in the work.
He especially hopes to hear at
once from any farmers who think
they have a crop which will fur
nish good seed for the coming
year. A. 9. College.

LYcEuM THEATRE.

1t has only been few years since
there sprang into the magic circle,
armed in the full panoply of modern
mysticism, a dapper young American
named Thurston, who had actually
struck out into an entirely new field
of conjuring. He had discovered
also, some new principles of great
ingenuity which enabled him to
build up mystifying effects and crea-
tions, unknown to the old school of
magicians.
Not only in pure legerdemain,
Thurston showed his wonderful sub
tlety, but in the larger field of il
lusion he showed a master mind
which gave birth to the many mysti-
flying productions, that has made
Thurston performance renowned in
almost every country on the globe.
Unusual interest is manifested in
the Thurston engagement this COM
ing week, for number of new crea-
tions are promised which have been
the outcome of many months of
study and building.
"The Lady and the Lion" Illusion
is undoubtedly one of Thurston's
masterpieces and a full grown lion
is used in the effect. This King of
the Forest is considered one of the
finest specimens in captivity.
"The Indian Rope Trick" where
the boy climbs a rope into the air
and disappears is the renowned In
dian trick which travellers have writ
ten pages on.
He comes to the Lyceum Sunday
matinee for four nights and Tuesday
matinee.
Thursday matinee next, VIM. Law
renee comes for three days in "Uncle
Dave Holcomb."

Toledo Theaters
Attractions at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, Week of January 9TH.

On Monday and Tuesday evenings,
January 17-1Sth, Henry w. Savage's
newest success, Miss Patsy" will be
presented at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo. Miss Patsy" is farce from
the pen of Sewell Collins, the bril-
liant cartoonist and author. It's locale
is the city of Annapolis and the lead
ing role is that of a young girl-an
orphan-daughter of stock actor
who has great faith in her own dra-
matte talent, but which no one else
is able to discover. She is devoted
ly attached to the leading woman of
q stock company in that city and in
trying to further the interests of her
friend, she only succeeds in getting
the affairs of everyone with whom
she comes in contact hopelessly en-
tangled. However, she finally sue
ceeds in extricating herself satisfac-
torily and the play ends happily. Miss
Gertrude Quinlan, who plays the role
of Miss Patsy" is well remembered
by all who saw "The College Widow"
for her work in that piece.
Charles Froham will present the
celebrated comedian, G. p. Huntley,
in the greatest of all his successes,
kitty Grey" at the Valentine thea
tire, Toledo, on wednesday, January
10Th. This play ran two seasons in
London and is now in it's second sea-
son in America. Mr.. Huntley is sur
rounded by a splendid company,
headed by Miss Julia Anderson,
whose beauty has attracted SO much
attention and whose talents equals
her beauty. The musical comedy por-
trays the troubles of an English no.
bleman who has married an Ameri-
can girl whose strict ideas of life do
not make a pleasant companion and
he, in consequence, spends great
deal of his time in the company of an
actress, kitty Grey" The wife on
discovering that her husbands affec-
tions are wandering, goes to the act
ress and asks her the secret of her
ability to make men love her, which
secret the actress tries to impart so
successfully that the play ends hap
PLY for all.
On Friday and Saturday, Janua y
21-22, with Saturday matinee, Mr..
George Arliss, known for his support
of Mrs. FislSe in several productions
and particularly known for his work
as "The Devip' in the play of that
name, will be seen in his new role,
that of "Septimus." In this role Mr..
Arliss is said to have attained the
greatest success of his career for the
part is particularly suited to him. He
plays the role of an absent-minded in
ventor who befriends a young girl in
distress and finds himself in love with
her. She accepts his help in her trou.
BILE but does not realize his feeling to
ward her until long afterward. Miss
Emily Stevens, who takes the part OF
Emmy" the young girl has also been
seen here in support of Mrs. Fiske
and the training of that great actress
shows in the clever work of this
young woman.

than that of similar varieties grown
in the south. The spinners report
that it will spin a thread 80 per cent
longer than the usual southern prod
uct. In addition to this, it is uni
formly white, without the stain and
soiled condition which is character
istic of much southern cotton.
Imperial valley possesses four dis
tinct advantages over other sections
in producing cotton. Or, rather, the
four great disadvantages to cotton
growing are eliminated in this section.
Imperial valley will have no drouth,
which is one of the great troubles in
cdent to cotton raising There is
abundant water ready at all times.
She has no excessive and destructive
rainfall which stains the bolls, knocks
them out of the locks, and drives them
into the sand and dirt Frost does not
come early enough to retard the ripen-
ing of any of the bolls. They con
tinue to ripen until practically every
one is in full bloom before there is any
danger whatever from frost. Ana
greatest of all advantages, Imperial
valley has no boil weevil, and will
have none, because the atmosphere is
so dry that it will not allow its prop
agation. This same thing is true of
other insect pests, such as fleas, and
the scale which infests orange trees.
The result is manifold. With the eX-
tremely fertile soil, abundant water
and unequaled climate, not only Will
this section produce an immense yield,
but it will produce this yield every
year without any danger of failure.
The crop the past year, from one bale
to a bale and a half per acre, was
obtained under disadvantages already
cited, and with newly imported seed.
1t has been shown to be fact through
repeated experiments that cotton seed
will produce more abundantly when
acclimated than when newly brought
in, so the growers expect to reach
yield of ftwo bales per acre next year.
Plans have been made, and seed pur-
chased to an extent that indicates the
planting of 10000 acres the coming
season of 1910. A movement is now on
foot for the growers themselves to
organize a company for the manufac-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20

ture of cotton seed oil and its by-pro-
ducts. Private capital would not be
lacking to do this, but the growers
feel that if they can add to their earn
ings by doing their own manufacture
ing to this extent, they should do it
and keep as much of the profits as
possible in the valley.
At a recent meeting of the cotton
growers the first steps were taken
toward the Incorporation of a COM
pany for this purpose, and plan was
presented by Mr.. Srack, by which a
mill could be built with a capacity of
so tons of seed daily, if the growers
would subscribe for stock to the
amount of the seed which they will
have to market from the next sea-
sons crop, basing his estimate upon
the amount of acreage for the plant
ing of which seed has already been
purchased. Mr.. Joseph r. LOTUS,
president of the American Nile Cotton
company, expressed his belief that the
plan s-feasible and could be carried
out along these lines.
Another question which will soon be
raised will be that of cotton mills for
the manufacture of cotton fabrics. The
only cotton mills on this coast are
located at Oakland under the name of
the California Cotton Mills company,
and it is this concern which absorbed
most of the output from the valley
up to date. Ten thousand bales of
cotton is sufficient to keep an average
mill running throughout the year, and
as the next crop will be approximately
10000 bales. it is not to be supposed
that Los Angeles enterprise will al
low all of that raw material to go out
the country when it could be manu-
factured here just as well.
One thing that claimed the solici.
tude of the prospective grower last
year was the question of lator. but
that seems to have been met satisfac-
torily. At the price paid for picking.
81 per 100 pounds, and the ability o.
a good picker to bring in 800 or 400
pounds a day, the earnings were suffi-
GENTLY large to attract white help. A
great many white families from the
south offered their services, but the
crop was not large enough to justify
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20

their moving to the valley last year
Another year will see a large influx
of this class of people Then. too,
there is an abundance of Mexican la
bor to be obtained locally. which Is
both efficient and cheap. So the ne
cessity of bringing in negroes or Jap
anese for the purpose of harvesting the
crop is reduced to minimum.
The amount of money brought into
the valley from the first crop amount
ed to about $4,000. The price of cot
ton was somewhat above the average
on account of the shortage in other
parts of the world. With the expect
ed crop for next season. even at an
average price per bale much lower
than that received the past season, the
receipts should approach the $2,000,000
mark. The Cotton Growers associa-
ton has compiled figures from reports
sent in by individual growers showing
the actual cost of production and the
net profits received. 1t requires only
about twenty pounds of seed to plant
an acre. This can be purchased at
from so cents to 81 for each acre, and
added to the cost of preparing the
ground and cost of cultivating and ir
rigation water, the report shows an
average cost of about SO per acre up
to the time of picking. Pickers were
paid 81 per 100 pounds. Fifteen hun
dred pounds has to be picked to pro
duce a 500pound bale of cotton, leav
ing 1000 pounds of seed. Hence the
cost of picking is $15 a bale. Five
dollars a bale is charged for ginning,
making a total cost where the yield
was one bale to the acre of slightly
less than $50 per bale During most
of the season the cotton was marketed
right from the gin at IA cents a pound,
or $40 bale. Adding to this the
value of 1000 pounds of seed, which
at a low estimate is worth SO, gives
a revenue of $50, showing a net profit
of $50 per acre. Some growers WHO
operated on a small scale claimed t.
have done much better than this, and
there is every reason to believe that
average results will prove better than
this next year.
All the above figures are based on the
growing of an ordinary short staple

COLONIST TRAFFIC HEAVY
AS RESULT OF LOW RATES
Hotels Are Crowded, and Many Visit
ors Are Forced to Seek Ac-
commodations Out of Town

Hundreds of colonists are continuing
- arrive in Los Angeles. and the in
fux yesterday was estimated at the
Santa Fe and Arcade depots to have
been the heaviest since the low rates
We're established. Extra cars are COM
ing in with every train from the south
western transcontinental routes, and
both the Santa Fe line via Albuquerque
and the Southern Pacific via El Paso
are CARRYING crowded trains. 1t is re-
ported the travel over the valley line
from San Francisco also is extremely
heavy. While the downtown hotels
are all crowded to their full capacity
and accommodations are difficult to be
had close in, this is said to be most
favorable for the beach and interior
resorts. which also report big tour
ist business, as hundreds of persons
who are unable to get the desired ac-
atoms in the downtown dis
trict are induced to make their head
quarters at some of the nearby towns.
The outgoing travel also continues
to be heavy, and every train is loaded
with tourists. Real estate men, how
ever, report an unusually large per-
centage of the arrivals so far have
been JcTmanent homeseekers, and the
larger realty dealers are doing a pros
porous business. Another noticeable
feature of tourist conditions is the
large Icrcentage of wealthy arrivals.
railroad officials say the present in
flux is made up principally of first
class tourists, those coming on the
,olonist rates being in a small
minority.
