OIL COMPANIES REPRESENTA-
TlVES INSPECT EVER ACRE OF
LAND SOWN TO FLAX.
WILL BE A BIG YIELD
His Estimates and Those Of Kennedy
Practically Tally; Agriculture Com
missioner Soon to Begin Gathering
Data for Annual Report.

After complete inspection of every
acre of land in Montana sown to fax,
j. II. Cooney, representing the big lin
seed oil companies in the east, esti-
mates that 100000 bushels of that
grain will be granared In the state
after threshing says the Helena Inde
pendent.
His figures and those Of J. M. Ken
nedy, commissioner of agriculture and
publicity, who recently made an esti
mate on all Montana crops, practically
tally.
Gets First Hand Data
Mr.. Cooney made the entire trip in
his own automobile, covering several
thousand miles. He visited farms In
every section, and made personal ex-
animation OF the flax crop, talking
with ranchers on the acreage and esti-
mating the yield on data secured from
them.
He also had an excellent opportunity
to investigate crop conditions gener-
ally, and to Commissioner Kennedy. he
declared that Montana was destined to
become on eof the great wheat grow
ing centers of the world, and spoke
particularly on the adaptability of soil
to max.
climates on Flax
After his trip over the state, Mr..
Cooney is Of the opinion that Mr..
Kennedy has placed too high an esti-
mate on the average yield of flax per
acre. Mr.. Kennedy estimated it at 13
bushels per acre, while Mr.. COOney
believes it will go only IL bushels and
fraction.
However, Mr.. Cooney says 475.000
acres have been sown to fax, while
Mr.. Kennedy, in his preliminary sur
vey. states there were 100000 acres
planted to the product, difference OF
1t, 900 acres.
To Visit Every County
Immediately following the meeting
OF the Montana State Press association
which convenes next week at Kalispell
Mr.. Kennedy will begin G0-day tour
OF the state, during which he will visit
every county in Montana with view
OF securing statistics on the agricultur
al outlook.

/ the trip will compose his anual report
which will be ready for distribution
| late in November.
To Aim At Accuracy
He plans to secure information or
the amount OF land under cultivation
the amount put in in the various kinds
of grain, and in fact, will make com
prehensive study OF the state from al
agricultural standpoint.
In addition to this. he will gathe

500 70 BUY 1900
new BOXCARS TO
CARRY 1918 CROPS

Minneapolis, April 30.-At a cost of
$3,742, O59, the 500 line, in preparation
for an expected increase Of traffic n
greater demand for rolling stock in
1918, will add 1926 cars to its equip
ment,' and with some of the new cars
already arriving, n pressure on the
manufacturers for prompt delivery OF
the contracts, the company will have
the full complement of new equipment
in use we'll in advance of the maturity
of the grain crop that is starting so
favorably,
General Manager George r. Hunt
ington today gave out the figures
showing what the equipment order of
the road for 1918 will mean The total
follows:
Twenty-Five locomotives,
1900 forty-ton boXcars.
200 forty-ton ballast cars.
200 forty-ton fiat cars.
800 fifty-ton steel ore cars.
Twenty eight-wheel cabooses.
Fifty coaches, sleeping cars, dining
or buffet cars, observation cars or 9TH
err cars for passenger service.
Based upon the business handled in
1912, and expectation of a material in
crease in 1918, and with this expecta-
ton strengthened by an unusually
favorable spring crop outlook, the ap-
| preparation for new equipment has
been liberal. The addition of twenty
five locomotives to an existent motive
power equipment that is proportion
ately large and of high efficiency is a
| significant feature, as is the ore a
provision, the latter suggesting eX-
| pectation of Guyana range mining &C
tivity. The addition of 200 ballast cars
relates in part to new construction
work in North Dakota that the road
has started, that will eventually carry
the line across Montana to a connec-
ton with the Canadian Pacific above
the northwestern end of that state.
I'VE expect to need all the addition
| al equipment" said President Edmund
Pennington, Conditions preliminary
to the start of the new crop eason
are good"

Toxic, April 30.-The announcement
of the projected departure in May to
the United States of Soroku Ebara,
constitutional member of the japanese
