to plant light weight, shrivelled seed
sowing more seed to make up. Tha
is the first principle Of flax crop de
struction. The weak seeds are the
sick ones and carry death to theil
neighbors.
Seed Selection and Grading: Gel
a pure strain or variety Of seed, if you
can from your nearest neighbor. II
should be bright and plump and every
seed should grow in from three to
four days when placed in a simple
germinator. Perfect flax seed will
show no mould in the germinator.
No matter whose seed you get or
have, run it through a good tanning
mill or grader and eliminate every
thing but plump, bright seeds. It is
safer to sow weed seeds than it is to
shrivelled, dark colored flax seed.
Treatment: Treat the seed with
formaldehyde, using standard FORM
aldehyde at the rate of sixteen ounces
to forty gallons Of water. Use spray
pump which will throw a forceful,
misty spray. After the seed is all
cleaned in the tanning mill, throw it
down on tight floor or canvas and
rake or shovel it over while it is being
sprayed with the solution. Rake,
spray and shovel slowly until you
have put on at least one-half gallon of
solution for each dry bushel of seed
flax. Pile the flax up in pile, cover
with canvas and it will be right to
sow in approximately two hours.
Treat in the morning that which you
wish to sow in the afternoon. Treat
in the afternoon what you expect to
use in the morning. Caution: While
the flax seed is being sprayed
be sure to stir it thoroughly
and, if it happens that you cannot
seed it, then it must be spread out to
prevent heating.
Rotation: Different farmers will
obtain good results with different
series of rotations because their lands
are Of different types. Each man
should study his own land, but he
cannot expect to succeed without
crop rotation. Starting with new
land try something like this: % flax,
~ wheat, g. meadow and pasture,
~ corn, (6 wheat or flax. If the corn
ground is properly worked flax will
pay as we'll on the unplowed
corn ground as wheat. Most persons
prefer to sow wheat, in which case
The flax should follow the wheat, the
seed bed being made by thorough
disking of the wheat stubble immedi-
ately after harvest without blowing,
followed by fall narrowing and early
spring narrowing and packing. The
next series could then run oats or
barley, cultivated crop, wheat mea-
dow, pasture, flax. The cultivation

disks Of the drill will not cut deeper
than half or three quarters of an inch
below the surface even though the
weight of the whole drill were on the
disks.
New Lands: New sod lands give
bes' results when the breaking and
firming, .disking, narrowing and drill
ling of the seed and smoothing are all
done at one and the same operation
or in immediate succession, because
the land does not have time to dry
out and the flax gets fine start in
the moist land just turned up and
worked. The surface working should
be sufficient to leave the cracks be-
tween the burrows all filled in with
new dirt. A heavy stone float, boat
or roller should follow the drill for
levelling and firming the soil upon
the seed. If the breaking was done
the year previous, then as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground the land
should be narrowed or cultivated and
should be kept stirred until time to
sow the flax to prevent weed growths
and loss of moisture.
On Old Lands: Good crops of flax
can be raised on old cultivated lands
but more care must be taken to firm
down the soil. Preferably, it should
be sown upon newly broken pasture
or hay lands as described in last para
graph, but it will do we'll after corn
or if the lands are free from weeds,
it will give splendid crop when sur
face worked and packed down again,
and the seed drilled on this firm
ground. In case the lands are foul
with weeds the blowing should not be
done until the time to seed the flax,
and the work, as in case of new land,
should be done as a continuous pro-
cess. First plow, followed by heavy
packer, followed by peg tooth har-
rows and further packing if neces-
sary, then by the drill followed by
stone float or by further packing with
roller if necessary.
Soils Vary: Every man will need
o consider his own type of soil and
Use the kind of cultivation or packing
which will leave the ground least
liable to blow, but accomplish a
thoroughly even, very hard firm seed
ned with just enough dirt to nicely
over the seed.
Date of Seeding: Seeding time in
most regions should usually be the
arliest date possible without having
be young plants frosted in the spring.
Rate Of Seeding: Sow not to ex-
eed fourteen quarts Of good flax seed
q per acre any soil. If all the seeds
row, twenty to twenty-five pounds
seed win give plenty Of plants.

DECLARE BOY
INCORRIGIBLE
More Thefts Laid at Door Of
Frank Fisher.

In the arrest of Frank Fisher, an
eleven-year-old boy of 533 Penn
street, yesterday. for stealing money
and refusing co go TO school, the
police believe they have in their
clutches a severe case which needs
marked attention. According to their
Investigations and the findings of
school authorities Fisher has been
on the road to becoming one OF the
worst young criminals this section
has ever seen. They have found
that he has often stolen money In
various amounts from pennies TO IS,
that he lies continually, refuses to go
to school and is generally incorrigi-
BILE. He Is now in a police cell await
ing disposition on a charge OF steal
ing about IS.
According to the police and public
school authorities, Fisher stole "a
out of a till in the store of q. Meho-
lof, at 270 Washington street, on
October II, last. He hid So OF 1t In
an clubhouse near his home, which
Patrolman Joseph Hartung recover
ed for it's owner. The lad was not
| prosecuted for the crime.
The school authorities have been
on young Fishers trail for some
time. They declare he has been to
school but twice and on those occa-
sions his mother brought him. They
have learned that he lives the life
of a vagrant, stealing at times as he
can. The lad is supposed to go to
public school No. 6. Principal Lloyd,
of schools 6 and s, has taken a deep
interest in the boys case. He learn
ed that he had some money yester-
day and sent Jacob Lamp, q school
wjanitor who does truant office work
al times, after him. Mr.. Lamp appre-
hended the lad at the foot of Smith
street. He had seventy-eight cents
In his clothes, a small revolver and
three bullets. The boy told the jani-
tor that he found IS at the ferry
house, gave 81 of 1t to a boy who
saw him pick it up and gave some
money to his mother and to his
friends.
Later he told conflicting stories as
to how he came in possession OF the
money. He said he earned 1t carry
ing bricks, then he said he got 1T
bringing baskets to the open market
and later he declared he buncoed a
farmer at the market.

HOW STATE COMMITTEE
GAN HANDLE ITS FUNDS

Trenton, Oct. 26.-Edward E,
Grosscup, Democratic State chair
man, has received an opinion from
Assistant Attorney General Gaskill,
relative to the manner of handling
campaign funds by the state COM
|mittee.
The opinion holds that while the
state committee has the right to So
licit and collect campaign contribu-
tions it cannot place such contribu-
tions In a general fund and distrib-
ute such funds among the various
local COMMITTEES.
All 1t can do Is to act as interme-
diary between the contributors and
the finance committaa of the candi-
dates. Every contribution SO made
must appear In the statement OF the
candidates as having been received
from the person who originally
made it.

Trenton, Oct. 26.-Since the time
the memory of any living New Jer-
sey politician runneth not to the
contrary, and whether 1T may have
been under either Republican or
Democratic administrations, the last
Tuesday in the month Of October
has been known as dough day"
about the State House.
According to the political caieE-
dar. dough day fell on last Tues.
day, at which time checks were dss-
.trihuted II State House employees
Thanks to the corrupt practices act
passed by the last legislature,
dough day as it has been known
for half . century, IL evidently a
hing OF the past. This is best evil
fenced by the fact that not a single
mpIoyee Of any department in the
! tate House has this year been so
+, licited either by letter or otherwise
for a contribution to the campaign
Golfers of either party.
For many years past, it has beer
the custom of the treasurer Of ~:
Republican state committee to sent
to each employee in the State Hous'
whose appointment was considered
as political patronage a printed ap
peal for contributions to the Hepuh
can state committee. Followtn
this written appeal Winton G. Gar
rison, treasurer OF the Repuhlica
state committee, has for eyerf
years past made 1t a pratiee to spen
two or three days In the Stat
House after the October pay-da
gathering up the shekels that wer
designed to aid the Republican pa
ty in maintaining their hold on th
state government. And it may /
said that this custom on the pal
of the Republican leaders was II
herited from the days OF Democrat
administration when political 81
sessments were gathered almost O
emily and above-board.
Mr.. Garrison has been signifcan
~ absent from the State House tn
