h. L. Bolley Talks to the Growers On
Flax Seed and Flax Products.

The Importance of the flax crop to
the northw est is one worthy of your
closest consideration. Statistics of the
crop indicate that it is gradually loos-
ing ground in the northwest in the
same sense as it has done in every
other state in the union. The north
west, and particularly North Dakota.
can ill afford to loose so important
crop from their short list of available
crops for available farming. The rec
ords Of this crop show that it has been
one of the great money makers of
North Dakota, and previously did
equally we'll for Minnesota and other
older states.
I have become convinced through my
studies that it is not necessary that the
flax seed crop should be lost to the
northwest, and shall try to help the
farmers save the crop much in the
same sense as the wheat crop has been
saved from the ravages of loose smut,
and the potato crop from its various
enemies. North Dakota alone has
annually produced approximately half
the flax seed crop Of the United States
aud considering the ruling prices for the
seed the Importance of the crop is
plainly evident. At this time can
only say that the flax crop is not de-
structive to the fertility of the soil,
and that with proper handling the new
soils of the northwest need not be in
fected with the diseases which have
driven the crop out Of the soils in the
older regions and that with proper
handling the crop can be placed into
profitable growth upon the older lands
where the diseases now exist. This
kean only be done by careful consider
aion of the methods of planting. by
the eelecting of pure, clean seed, by
disinfeetmg the seed before planting it,
and by conducting proper rotations TO
keep the sdh free from the growth Of
the flax root tQngi which may chance
to reach it. The importance of the
question of pure seed and of keeping
the SOD free from the persistent para
sites which destroy the crop is SO great
that If overlooked the crop must Ger
tainly eventually be lost to any particu-

CHORAL CLUB MEETING.
Enjoyable Musical and Literary Pro.
gram Given with Unique Features.

In responce to cards sent out re-
questing the members to be prepared
to answer roll call with a quotation
from Tennyson the Choral Club turned
out en- masse Monday evening and had
a royal good time at the home of Miss
Lou Fountain, there being an attend
ance of thirty-nine.
After the roll call, to which there
was hearty response, musical and
literary program was given, the first
number of which was piano duet by
Mrs. James Nichols and Miss Maude
Sackrider. This was followed by the
essay on Lord Tennyson by Miss
Helen Stanton, who did credit to herself
and justice to the poet laureate. Miss
Emma Chamberlain sang ''Come Unto
Me-" and Leo Wagner followed with a
guitar solo. Rev. B. G. jackson then
favored the audience with the beautiful
solo 'tSing Me to Sleep" A quartet
composed of Messrs. Sutton, Coulter,
Mrs. Ferber and Miss Sackrider sang
Tennyson's famous Crossing the
Bar" All the numbers responded to a
hearty encore. But the best was yet
to come. An innovation of the club is
that at its social meeting, which is held
the last Monday of each month, the la
dies and gentlemen alternately serve
the lunch. This was the evening as
signed to the sterner sex and the most
critical caterer could have found no
fault with the Spread served in a
unique style by Chefs Whitver, Sipe
and Ferber. The principal feature of
the evenings repast was watermelon,
to which all did justice, with the ex-
ception of Jim Nichols, who never eats
melon. >
| When at a late hour the crowd dis
persed all declared that more pleas
ant evening is seldom spent, and vote
of thanks is due Miss Fountain, Miss
Ethel Savold and Miss Matte Nit
Echell, the committee in charge.
1t might be added that Herman Nonn-
weller was taken with severe (7s at
tack Of epistaxis which necessitated his
leaving somewhat early in the evening.
The regular weekly meeting fol
chorus practice will be next Monday
evening with Mrs. Terber.

and will be about 40 by 20 feet. The

only supplement. and never supplant, the
old, homey virtues: the need for the
special and distinctive pioneer virtues Is

civilization grows older and more COM
pleX, while 1t is true that we need new
forms OF trained ability, and need to de-
velop men whose lives are devoted wholly
to the pursuit OF special objects. 1t is yet
also true that we need greater and not
a less development of the fundamental
frontier virtues. These virtues include
the power of self-help. together with the
power Of joining with others for mutual
help, and. what is especially important,
the feeling OF comradeship. Of social good
fellowship. Any man who had the good
fortune to live among the old frontier
conditions must, in looking back. realize
how vital was this feeling of general
comradeship. and social fellowship. There
are good men and bad men. in the new
communities just as in the old commune
ties, and the conditions on the frontier
were such that the qualities OF the good
and bad alike were rather more strikingly
manifested than in older communities.

Now so far as possible these qualities
and conditions that bring about these
qualities should be kept in the great
states which are growing out of the old
frontier communities. We need to strive
for the general social betterment OF the
people as whole, and yet to encourage
individual liberty and set high reward

where they become detrimental to the

The Department, of Botany, of the
North Dakota Experiment Station
proposes to aid all persons interested
In procuring clean seed for growing
purposes by keeping up a Bureau Of
Information. We hope to be able to
furnish weekly to anybody who SO de-
sires a list Of seedmen and farmers
who can furnish flax seed which is fit
for sowing purposes, and further upon
request will supply information to any
farmer who expects to SOW fax, as to
just how to 20 to work in order to dis
infect the seed and prepare the seed
bed. If you are q flax grower and
wish to become a part of this pure
seed and pure sod organization, send
in your name and address and tell US
whether you want seed or whether you
have seed to sell. If possible, we will
inspect your crop as it stands in the
field. Otherwise you can send US sam
pies or we will inspect it in the bin.
Any person who wishes to buy clean
seed may thus have an opportunity to
feel reasonably sure that he is not 60
ing to run so much risk spelling his
land for fax culture as In the past.
This Bureau of Information will be
open to every citizen of the state and
of the northwest. Send in your name
and help US boost the fax crop to at
least double it's present yield Of seed.
Remember, if the seed crop is lost that
the future possibilities of the fiber in
dustry are practically lost. If this in
dustry is lost everybody will pay more
for oil, for paint and for products. We
especially want to meet the man who
has pure variety of fax seed or hopes
to grow it.
