VIII Grow Flax in Texas.

Stratford, Texas, April AR
rangements have been made by land
owners here for the shipment of a
carload of flaxseed to this country
this spring, and already contracts
have been made for planting 1906
acres. 1t is said that this crop growc
well on sod land and resists dry
weather. The experiments in this
section have been so successful that
many hundreds acres of land will
be planted in flaxseed this season.
There are only eleven states in
the union in which flax is grown
and rank in production as follows:
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Colorado AMI
Oklahoma. The total number of
acres planted in flax in 1911, was

The street paving proposition Is
up for consideration again. Because
of its importance and the lasting
benefit to be derived therefrom this
question, like Banquo's ghost, has
a way of coming to the front on all
occasions and it positively refuses to
be buried until this much to be de-
sired improvement Is an accomplish
ed fact. At the late meeting of the
city council a family discussion as
to plans in connection with this
work revealed the fact that the mat
ter is being seriously considered and
that arrangements are forming for
the early carrying out of schemes
that will result in the materialiZa-
ton of another progressive dream.
ton the affairs of the city have 50
prospered as to make it possible the
retiring of certain bonds, thus open
ing the way for the issuance of
other bonds for paving, and that,
too, without an additional tax levy.
We have the utmost faith in the
ability of our city administration to
find an early way to reach begin
ming as to street paving, and once
the work is started it will be kept
up until the whole town is paved.
Much material development has
grown out of the Prince administra-
ton and we confidently expect to be
able to chronicle street paving as
one of the achievements of his pro-
spirit

WILSON HEADQUARTERS

Weatherford Man Says Parker

Weatherford Man Says Parker
County Is for New Jersey Man.
Dallas, Texas, April 4.-B. b.
Cannon of Weatherford called at
the Wilson state headquarters Wed
nesday. Mr. Cannon was particularly
enthusiastic because of Governor
Wilson's victory in Wisconsin, on
Tuesday.
He said he was just in receipt of
a letter from his son who lives in
Boston, Mass, in which he wrote
that Governor Wilson was so univer-
sally popular in the New England
states as to make 1t certain that he
would carry practically all of them,
if nominated for president; that his
strength was not confined to any
class, but that he was popular alike
with business men, laboring men
and farmers.
Mr.. Cannon said that a very large
majority of the democrats of Par
ker county favored the candidacy of
Governor Wilson, and that they
would undoubtedly send a Wilson
! delegation to the state convention
He was particularly emphatic in de-
nunciation of the action of the dem

committee in turning down their APP

accomplish it.

Testing Seed
For Farmers

The Improvement of farm crops
through selection of right seed is a
modern and essential element in ag-
ricultural progress. To select bet
ter seed is the farmers. mission and
1t is one of the best investments
that he can make.
Much interest has been manifest
ed during the last year or two in
regard to the Pure Seed Law of the
State of Washington. This law was
passed by the state legislature in
1909 but, owing to lack of appro-
priation, was not enforced till 1911.
The requirements of the new law
are reasonable and at the same
time give ample protection to the
farmer, guaranteeing to him free
dom from obnoxious weeds and
adulteration.. There can be no ques-
tion but that established seed hous-
es would refuse to buy or sell know
ingly. seed containing such weeds
as dudder, wild mustard or Canada
thistle. From an entirely selfish
motive, no seed house could afford
to sell seed that would be poor
advertisement.
But it is not question of wheth-
er the seedman intends to sell foul
sed but whether he is in position
to know VIII ther he is selling seed
containing weed seed. 1t might
be assumed that any intelligent man
in the business would know whether
he was selling clean seed or not,
yet the seed might contain impur-
tiles of dodder or red clover that
could only be detected by the most
careful analyzing under glass.
Realizing that there is demand
for expert knowledge of the purity
of seeds, the Chas. H. Lilly Co.
have established laboratory for
this purpose. This laboratory, also
their trial grounds haze been placed
in charge Of N. d. Vail, B. S.. q
graduate of the Oregon State Agrii-
cultural college. Mr.. Vail has also
taken a special course in seed test
ing under Prof. HID. Scudder. head
of that bran ch of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. With
the aid Of his assistants and the spe-
cial delicate instruments at his COM
omand Mr.. Vail analyzes every sam
pie of seed offered by the growers
or from the company's trial grounds.

Postal Savings Banks

It appears by the postal reports
that since the postal savings bank
facilities were created in New York
City the international money order
business in that city has shown de-
crease Of $6,534, ,479. as compared
with former periods of the same
length. The post Office department
now accepts it as unquestionably
true that the decrease il the vol
ume Of this international mo.ey or
der business is due to the fact that
foreign-born residents are now de-
posting their savings at home in
stead Of sending money abzoad to
deposit.
