They Want Twine Factory

Billings. Jan. 2. The Billings
Chamber of Commerce is compiling
data on the cultivation of flax in
eastern Montana with view OF in
teresting manufacturers IN the es-
Enlistment of d factory somewhere
in the Midland Empire for the man
ufacture of binder Irvine from the
flax straw. Montana flax was awar-
ded second prize at the St. Pau
Land Show. The past season has
demonstrated that flax can be grown
successfully in this state, many Of
the growers having phenomenal sue
cess. the yield ranging from IS TO a
bushels per acre. Tie market price
this year ranged from $f.75 TO $500
Ser bushel. making the new product
more profitable per acre than
wheat. It il estimated that the far
mers Of the Midland Empire paid
$40. 900 for binder Irvine last seas
on. the price per pound feing about
II cents. It's figured that binder
Irvine made from flax straw BY the
new process can be made and sold at
a profit for 3 cents per pound. The
superiority of hemp twine over Ma
Mia IS found III the fact that the
former does not rot and i free from
