30 per cent each from British East
indies and Belgium. Nearly all the
sugar beet imported is from Germany.
while clover seed is imported chiefly
from Germany, Canada and France.
The very large increase in importa-
lions Of fiaxseed during 1911 is due
to the partial failure of the crop last
year. The f1axseed crop of The United
States is. according to figures of the
Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, chiefly produc-
ed in Minnesota and North and South
Dakota. The crop in North Dakota
last year was to a large extent a
failure, reducing the domestic pro-
auctions by nearly one-half, and the
amount available for market purL
poses aside from seed, fully one
half, hence the large importations in
the current year from foreign coun-
tries.
The shortage in the domestic crop
of f1axseed and presumably in the
production Of linseed oil is reflected
in the large imports of oil of that
character during the current fiscal
year. During the 9 months ending
with March, 1911, the imports for
consumption Of linseed oil aggregat-
ed 3,2O7,42o gallons, valued at
$2,l93,679 compared with 467,664
gallons, valued at $25S,39O in the en-
tire fiscal year 1910 and but 2S,1O2
gallons valued at $13,249 in the
fiscal year 1910.

is builte on one side of The jeff
ersonian plant. The tent and
speakers platform will be decorated
with flags and flowers, and it will be
a very pleasant and cool place in
which TO listen to the speaking.
In the pasture on the other side of
the plant will be the tent and tables
where the barbecue will be served.
On the side, and at the back of this,
will be the park for automobiles, and
large open space for buggies. The
automobiles and buggies will enter
the grounds by separate roads.
We hope to secure the service of
a tirst-class brass band to enliven the
proceedings from time to time An
interesting feature will be the trial
Of the big chemical fire engine. We
shall make huge bon fire of barrels
and light wood soaked with tar and
oil, which will be set afre and when
the flames are at their fiercest, the
chemical engine will come up and ex-
tinguish them in very short time.
Visitors to the plant will be able

can see the big rolls of white paper
ana the manner in which they are
placed on the press. They will see

also have the opportunity to see how
the plates, from which the paper is
printed, are. cast.
We are particularly anxious to
know the probable number of per-
sons who will be here on the night of
July 3rd so that we can arrange for
their accommodations. If you will
drop us a card stating that you are
coming, and making a guess at the
number of others who are coming

big help to us.

able to pay for it-of course within
a reasonable time. To everyone who
takes twenty shares ($100) we are
giving a life subscription to Wat

20 million dollars worth Of
La haxseed in the fiscal year 1911
is indicated by the records of
the Bureau of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor, now COM
pleted for the 10 months ending with
April, 1911. During that period the
imports of f1axseed or linseed, aggre-
gated IA million bushels, compar-
ed with little over million bush
els last year and $4,000 bushels in
the corresponding period in 1909.
Ihe growth in value is even greater,
the 10 months figures of the current
fiscal year being "a million dol
lars, against 5 million in 1910 and
but $73,625 in 1909. The estimated
importation of 20 million dollars
worth Of f1aXseed in the fiscal year
which ends with the present month
exceeds by more than 10 million dol
lars the value imported in 1909, is
nearly Is million dollars above the
record Of 1901, and it is by far larg-
er than that of any other year. Dur
ing the ten years, 1901 to 1910, in
elusive, total of g million dollars,
or an average annual importation
of S1,30O,O00 is shown, as against
$2O,OOO,O00 for the single year 1911
now drawing to a close.
Flaxseed furnishes the bulk of the
rs million dollars woth of seeds of
various kinds imported during the
year. The other leading classes in
clude sugar beet, clover, and castor
beans. Of these, the imports of
clover seed during the year will be
about 3 million dollars, and those
Of sugar beet and castor seed, each
about 100000. The remaining 81
million dollars worth of seed impor-
ted includes grass, mustard, beet,
cabbage, poppy, and flower seed also
large number of seeds valued by
reason of the volatile oils and per-
fumes contained, such as anise, car
away, coriander, and fennel.
The price of imported fiaxseed
tends to increase from year to year.
In 1879 the average price per bushel
was $1.03; in 1901, $1.27; in 1903,
$3.50; 1909, $1.40; in 1910, $1.7O;
and in 1911, $2.O4, for the high rec
