FLAX CAN BE MADE A PROFITABLE CROP
IN KANSAS If PROPERLY CARED FOR
Experiments State Agricultural College Show that Seed Grown the
State Gives the Best Results--How Prepare

of pure, wholesome seed is sufficient
to plant to the acre, and that early
seeding gives the best results.
Flax requires very good care, es-
peciaIly with respect to seed-bed
preparation. Ordinarily the land
should be fall plowed and worked
into firm uniform seed-bed as early
as possible in the spring. Or, if it is
impossible to pillow in the fall then
fax, ordinarily, will do we'll if plant
ed on corn ground after the corn
stalks have been cut and removed
from the field and the land double
disked and narrowed previously to
planting. Better plant the seed on
corn ground without blowing unless
the blowing can be done in the fall.
If spring blowing is necessary on
stubble land of any kind it should be
done shallow and packed as firmly as
possible at once.
Flax does well on virgin sod newly
turned over. The common practice
in the Northwest is to plant fax on
prairie sod broken out in. the spring.
This practice can be followed in
Kansas to good advantage. The
seed-bed, however, should be thor
oughly prepared whether 1t be on
newly broken sod or whether it be
after some other crop. In other
words, if it is the purpose of the
farmer to plant on prairie sod, newly
| broken in the spring, his land should
| be thoroughly disked, narrowed and
| packed previously to planting. Flax
would be a good crop to plant on
newly broken pasture land, clover
! land or alfalfa land. The only danger
/ in planting on clover and alfalfa land
will be that the fax is likely to grow
| so rank that it might possibly lodge,
! but with proper care and handling
!, this danger can be eliminated to a
considerable extent.
There is no reason why flax can not
be grown with profit in western Kan
sas if it succeeds in the Dakotas,
| Wyoming and Montana. Early seed
ing should be practiced, however, to
take advantage of the most favorable
soil moisture conditions and to rfpen
the crop before the hot dry winds OF
| July The hot, dry winds that some
| times prevail during the bIossoming
season for fax are the greatest draw.
back to fax culture in Kansas The
earlier this crop can be brought to
| maturity the less danger there will
be from this factor, hence early plant
ing is advised. Flax is not suscept
ible to frost except as it is just com
! ing through the ground. If it escapes
at this stage there will be little like
lihood of damage from frost there
after.

~HE annual production of fax
for the United States usually
is about twenty-six million
bushels. The crop of 1910 was little
more than eight million bushels. Be
cause of this shortage the price Of
fax seed has advanced at least S1.00
a bushel; it is now selling for about
$3.50 a busheI The average normal
price for Kansas is S1-1O a bushel.
In 1910, according to Secretary Co
burn, Kansas produced in round NUM-
bers, four hundred and sixty-three
thousand bushels of fax. The acre
age planted in 1909, according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, was ffty-fve thousand, the aver
age acre yiel0 being seven bushels.

try, with different dates and rates of

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
uuest. Address Professor Munyon, SD l.

in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon- Your communl-
cation viii be treated IN strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other Iaxatives or catharttcs- They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they dc
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
| do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
eorrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
/ bowels, which is really 8 sewer pipe.
/ When this pipe becomes clOgged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
I ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
/ blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
| ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
/ l had my way I would prohibit the sale
{ of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get al
the nourishment from food that Is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomei, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowel;

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

when my baby was two months

badly. I noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,

it itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One

tried them at once My baby's face
was as a cake of sores.

used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap

in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. I also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely
