ABOUT FLAX
CULTURE
How to Seed Flax on
Sod on Arid Land
Answered

The following question and ans
wer is taken from the Dry Farm
ing Congress Bulletin, and will
10 doubt be read with much in.
terest by our readers.
Questions: What method of
farming would be advisable for
flax, planted on first breaking, in
Choteau county, Mont?
q. S. j.. Chanute, Kas.
Answer: Follow the breaking
immediately y with corrugated roll
Ter and hatten down the sods, close
up the air spaces and prepare for
the disc, setting the same, SO that
it will get in at least an inch or
more, pulverizing the sod u'face
SO us to make seed bed. Follow
disc with either the Acme or
spike tooth harrow. BE sure that
roller, DISC and harrow follow the
same way in which the breaking
was made. This will make n
better seed bed with less labor.
Have these operations follow the
pillow as closely as possible, SO as
to retain as much of the moisture
as you can.
Just before the ground is seed
ed, cross harrow, half tapping, fol
low the harrow with the seeder,
taking care to drill SO that the
seed is placed at depth not to
exceed an inch. If moisture con-
ditions are such, that one half inch
can be used, it will be still better.
Care should be exercised in seed
ing flax as regards to climatic
conditions, for it is a tender plant
and will not stand frost. therefore.
it should not be seeded until all
danger of a killing frost is past.
Then too, it should not be seeded
too thick, for ii Will then fire
burn. y | would not advise more
than Is to 25 pounds an acre, to
be determined by method of seed
ing, character of seed bed and
quality of seed.

several miles yet of loading track
will have to be built during the sum-
mer in order to handle the mammoth
fruit crop Of this fall. AS yet there
has been nothing in the installation
of increased facilities in this city to
warrant the belief that the Great
Northern is contemplating moving
the division point from Leavenworth
to Wenatchee. Years ago it was the
dream of Wenatchee to secure the
division point for this city. 1t meant
additional payroll, but in the mean
time Wenatchee has grown by leaps
and bounds and is getting along very
nicely without the division point, and
the majority of Wenatchee citizens
feel that no special effort will be
made to secure this. Leavenworth
needs it badly and Wenatchee can
get along without it, and while the
Great Northern has promised to ex-
pend thousands of dollars in improv-
ing the facilities in this city yet it
is not done with any idea of moving
the division point to this city.
While the business men generally
are very friendly to the Great North
ern, yet in order to maintain the
present friendly relations with Lea
venworth feel that no special effort
should be made to induce the Great
Northern to remove the division
pOint.

far beyond the needs of the town and
that it is the intention in the near
future to move the Great Northern
division point from Leavenworth to
Wenatchee.
While the Great Northern railway
has spent many thousands of dollars
in this city during the past year in
improving the facilities, the new de-
pot, the building of fruit sheds and
the laying of several miles of track
age, yet it has been demonstrated
that the facilities are still behind the
needs of the town. 1t is likely that

EAGLE HEAD
JAILED
Sold Masonic Degrees to
Spokane Men Illegally
is Charge.

Spokane, July 12.-Until he sue
ceeded in raising $500 cash bond
yesterday afternoon, Thomas Perrot
of Seattle, state president of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, was
afraid he would have to miss the
opening session of the state conven-
ton of Eagles in North Yakima to-
day.
He spent several hours in the city
Jail, all because of his efforts In
behalf of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite Masons. The technical
charge is obtaining money under
false pretenses, and the complaining
witness is Major R. D. Gwydir, con-
federate veteran, Kentucky scout.
pioneer, and city sidewalk inspector.
For $50, according to Major Gwy-
dir, Perrot sold him a knight Tenn
plar degree, giving him receipt
and a badge. After the money had
been paid the major mentioned the
transaction to another Mason, who
was of the opinion that Perrot had
as much right to take money for a
knight Templar degree as he hal to
sell reserved seats in the heavenly
choir. More investigation followed
and then the warrant was issued.
Declares He Is Organizer.
Il am an organizer, working I'M
der the direction of the supreme
grand master of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rites Masons,"
said Perrot, after he had been book
ed at police headquarters. Il have
credentials from the heads of the
order in Scotland, and have been
working for years in this capacity.
When 1 took the money from Major
Gwydir / gave him a receipt and
told him he was authorized to be-
come a member of the Knights Tenn
plar, provided he was a Mason in
good standing in the lower degrees. "
Perrot admits membership in
many secret orders. ''Ten or a doz-
en-, I'm not sure which," he said.
He has held office in Masonic LODI
ges, the Odd Fellows, knights of
Pythias, Red Men, Elks, Eagles and
others, and when arrested was on
his way to preside over the sessions
of the Eagles at North Yakima. He

says he has lived in Seattle three
years and has done most of his work
on the Coast.
Sliding Scale of Prices.
The police say that Perrot has
operated with a regular scale of
prices for different Masonic degrees,
from the blue lodge" to the high
est steps that may be taken in the
order. His prices, they say, were
as high as SITS for the more ad-
vancej degrees, and were graded
downward for the lower ranks.
'The Masons have no organizers
and never solicit MEMBERS said
Captain George Miles, himself a
Mason, "and this man could not pos
sibly have been authorized to sell
degrees"
Perrot said he was working under
the supervision of A. E. Lucas of
Tacoma, deputy grand marshal for
this state. Lucas, according to the
police, has been in trouble on the
Coast on the same charge that
caused Perrot's arrest here. Del
Cary Smith, one of the best known
Eagles in the country, is Perrot's at
torney.
Perrot Expected Arrest.
"My arrest is the result of stool
pigeons work on the part of the
Masonic LODGE" declared Mr.. Per-
rott last night, after he had been
released on bonds preparatory to 60
ing to North Yakima to attend the
state convention of Eagles. II ex-
pected it at the time / met Major
Gwydir. l took his $50 and told
him to call Thursday for the degree.
That would have given me time to
find out if he was entitled to the
work.
Il have the right to give the first
three degrees of Masonry by virtue
of holding office in the American
Federation of Masonic lodges, which
is incorporated under the laws of
the state of Washington. From the
fourth to thirty-third degrees my
right is vested in authority sent from
the Scottish Rites Masonic order of
Scotland, the home of Masonry. The
legal and the ritual right is strong.
1 have had the same trouble in Ia
coma. The Masons there learned it
did not pay to fool with me. They
will learn the same thing here"
