Advice to Flax Growers

Prof. H. L. Bol]ey Of the agri-
cultural college has issued the
following circular:
ITO the Flax Growers of North
Dakota:
There are perhaps large
number Of farmers in this state
who do not realize the small
amount Of flax seed that there is
available for use the coming year
in some parts of the state. There
are places in which the crop has
been almost a complete failure
because of the excessive drought
at the time the grain was seeded.
There are other places where flax
wilt and drought acting together
have destroyed the crop.
81 am writing this note to call to
their attention Of those farmers
who expect to SOW fax next year,
that it would be wise for them
to look about their neighborhood
and buy some of the b!st seed
that is to be found from the clean
est and most disease-free crop.
cannot say whether the price of
seed will be lower or higher in
the spring: but there is one thing
certain, if you pillow up your new
land and use poor, scaly seed on
it next spring, it will not make
much difference whether you pay
I, high price or a low price for
seed, you will not get as good a
crop as you should and you will
spoil your land for flax cropping
in the future. lhe thing to do
is to find some good seed for next
spring and then treat that seed
carefully.
IF there are any persons in the
safe interested in buying flax
seed and want to know the quality
of that seed before purchase, if
they will send US half pound Of
the seed in its present condition,
our laboratory will give you a
complete analysis of the con-
tents Of the package, telling you
exactly what weed seeds are pres
ent and what percentage will
grow: also the presence or alb
sence Of disease. how to treat
the seed, etc. For those who
are sowing flax on new land
it is a very wise procedure to
buy some good, plump. bright
colored flax seed from crop that
they have seen growing, SO that
they particularly know it is free
! from both wilt and weed seeds.'

The Supreme court has declared
unconstitutional the clause of the
primary law which requires cam
didates to secure thirty per cent
Of their party vote in order to
have a place on the official ballot.
This action throws down the bars
for the democratic candidates all
over the state, and there is great
glee in the democratic camp there.
at. AS matters stood before this
ruling of the Supreme court,
about the only democratic candi-
date in the field was Gov. John
Burke, who is bending every
effort to be elected for the third
time. At the present writing his
efforts look as though they were
going to be wasted.

To the spurious arguments pre-
sented by the democrats that the
insurgents should bolt their

one reply. viz: a statewide
primary law gave the right to
every republican elector of the
state TO cast his ballot on June %
for any man running for any. office
as he saw fit. There was no him
dranee or obstacle placed in the way
Ut fair vote and an honest re-
turn. 50 long as an insurgent
claims to he republican there is
no good reason that he can offer
for opposition to any nominee on
the republican ticket nominated
