cREss or FARM WOMEN FEAT

ONE STATES REPRESENTED.

cultural college, and w. r. Motherweil,
minister OF agriculture OF Saskatche-
wan. Can.
Prof. Fl. L. Bolley OF the North Da-
kota Agricultural college spoke Of
Flax as a Dry-Land Crop. He said
that the variety which is raised for
the production OF seed for linseed oil
purposes is especially adapted to the
dry-lan west, that there are few
crops which can Withstand the amount
of drought that the fax seed can, and
that II can be produced In paying
quantities farther west and higher on
the foothills OF the great plains than
any other of the small grains. He
said that fax does not use as much
moisture and does not make as heavy
draft on soil fertility as does either
wheat oats or barley, and that the
general idea to the contrary 10 based
on error due to the fact that the crop
IL frequently attacked by root diseases
which make it impossible to grow fax
on any ground that Is once infected.
Flax win generally compete with
wheat in the matter of net returns.
Professor Bolley's speech viii be
published in full tomorrow. Pres. J.

DOCTORS, ASKS FOR BEER

ent, and repeated his requests for beer
in such loud tone that he woke up
the whole ward.
The nurses in despair called up the
doctors. These gentlemen looked him
over and said that since he had only
a few minutes to live anyway they
saw no good reason for refusing him
beer
Today he is asking for beer in still
a louder tone. He is also asking for
light refreshment such as beefstealS
and so forth. He cannot see his rela
tives any more whenever he wants to
because the doctors have changed their
minds about his dying and now say
that the only thing that will kill him
is old age. Meanwhile the consump
tion of beer at the hospital has in
creased enormously and it is thought
that there will have to be a larger ap-
preparation on that account.
Carmel's chief diet this week has
been beer. Every time there is a sign
of a refusal on the part of nurse he
becomes plaintive and says that since
he is going to die anyhow they ought
not refuse anything and should give
him anything he asks for
Every once In while he is caught
winking to himself when he thinks no
one is looking.
To look at him one would not think
that he is dying man. but the doctors
said go. and they ought to know.
He will be allowed to go home in a
few days because they are afraid of
running out of beer II he stays much
longer.
