MONEY IN A FLAX CROP
HIGH PRICE is. NOW BEING PAID
FOR The SEED.
the Middle West to, Supply
the Demand.

Perhaps Blue Earth county farm
ers and other flax raisers in this
vicinity are not aware of the fact
that flax raising is getting to be
most profitable in this part Of the
country, not only since the flax stalk
may be readily disposed of in Wi,
mona markets to be used by the New
Oxford Linen Mattress company in
making mattresses in it's new fac.
tory which will be in operation here
next fall, or in making linofelt, but
because twin city linseed oil mills
are paying high price for the
seed, and this winter are importing
100000 bushels. paying 25 cents duty
and 20 cents freight from Argentina
South America, and even then bring
ing it here profitably.
VIII Import Seed.
Minneapolis Linseed Oil mills are
about to bring 100000 bushels OF
Argentina flax seed to Minneapolis
via Antwerp and New York. This is
an unprecedented transaction. Presi
dent Warren of the Midland Linse. +,
Oil company says his company has
250,000 bushels, which will be i'm
ported unless seed can be found ir
this country, which seems improb
able. Even with rs cents duty and
some drawbacks and about 20 cents
freight per bushel, it can be brought
to Minneapolis profitably.
Top Notch Prices.
Top notch prices are now being
offered for the fax seed in this
country. High prices will be paid fol-
the pulled fibre or rather stalks il
the local market next fall by the
Winona manufacturers of goods By
the Oxford process Local farmers
and even those in Wisconsin, Iowa
and the Dakotas, should take heet
of this fact and produce q domestic
supply for the demand of the Lin
seed Oil companies and Winona fac
tories using the fax stalk. The Ok
ford company is the second large
industry which has made WinOni
the established clearing house ant
market for fax straw in the middle
west.
