ing the crop of fax, and destroying
the usefulness Of the land for future
fax purposes. Scaley and shiveled
seeds are mostly caused by the wilt
and canker diseases, and are usually
sure signs Of the presence Of such
diseases.
No matter how plump and brightly
colored the seed. there are apt to be
wilt spores present. This is due to
the fact that the disease Is very gen.
eral, and only a few sick plants pro-
duce an enormous number of spores
which rattle of of the dead straws at
threshing time and stick to the seeds.
Clean all seed thoroughly SO as to
remove all sticks, dirt, chaff and scaly
seeds. Then treat the seed with for

/! Essentials of Flax Cropping: ~
The first essential in fax cropping is
to clearly appreciate that the diseases
which bring about deterioration Of the
crop are transferred from field to field
primarily by the seed, but often by
the blowing Of dust from infected fax
lands. by drainage waters. by plows,
harrows. threshing equipments. in
fected manures, etc. 1t is, therefore,
of first importance that careful meth

ers. Unless farmers are willing to
persistently make every effort to pre-
vent the Introduction Of the root kill
ing diseases into the soil. there can
be very slight hopes Of retaining the
flax crop as a permanent element Of
agriculture In any community.
(2) The next essential rests in
proper crop rotation and proper seed
bed formation.
II the seed Is to be placed on new
breaking, best results usually follow
spring blowing. The seeding should

be done as soon as possible after the
plow.. The moist earth and compact
seed-bed gives a rapid first growth
and the crop Is usually comparatively
free from weeds. II the land is broken
In the fall, it Is apt to be filed with
any Of those weed seeds which may be
blown and tumbled by the winter
winds, and these plants make strong
competitors with the fax on newly
broken areas, unless special provision
is made for destroying them before
seed time.
How to Proceed in Spring Breaking:
Break the sod as deeply as can be
done and yet have the lurrow slices
lie fiat. The plow should be followed
Immediately by a heavy roller or some
sinuar soil packing tool. The large
corrugated type Of metal rollers or
clod crushers do a splendid sort of
work on new breaking, tending to
loosen the dirt from the masses Of
grass roots. A good roller for such
work can be made at home by the
Use Of concrete. The roller should be
followed by a peg toothed harrow,

Of formaldehyde to each 40 gallons of
water and approximately one-half gal
Ion for each bushel of dry clean seed.
If the grain is thoroughly shoveled
and raked while the spraying is teing
done the grain will be found to be
evenly damp all over. If left piled
for from one to two hours it will be
found fit to pass through the drill
without difficulty.
Those who do not properly treat
their seed not only spoil their own
chances for good crops but spread
these destructive soil diseases to
neighboring lands.
Sow not to exceed one-half bushel
Of good flax seed per acre. If 1t all
sprouts there will be plenty of young
| plants. 1t is not wise to SOW any flax
seed which will not sprout at once.
Study Crop Rotation. Any rotation
Of five or years will do wonders
for flax cropping, but it will be wise
to introduce at least one grass and one
cultivated crop in the series.
Remember that Uneven depths of
