Flax Is a Winner

Last spring the Capital journal took
up the matter Of growing flax in this
section, and the movement has assumed
rather largo proportions The matter
was taken up by the Chamber Of Com.
merco, and steps taken toward getting
the industry started These have not
yet been perfected but they are far
from being dropped. Mr. Eugene Bossc
has again interested himself In the
matter and another spring will probably
see something doing In this line Not
only has tho matter been taken mp here,
but Oregon City and some other points
have investigated tho matter and as it
takes a largo amount Of money to man
ufacturo as well as grow flax, which
was the idea at first, II Is probable
that an arrangement can be made by
which tho industry can be put on its
feet IN the manufacturing way by the
combined effort Of two or more places
II no one Of them is able 10 handle H.
Arrangements will be made for fur
nishing tho seed, and already many
farmers have signifiod their intention
Of growing q few acres as an expert

learn the business.
Tho climate here is ideal and samples

at big contest in Belgium in competi'
tion with the best products of the Bel
gian fields. Mr.. Bosse demonstrated
that the very finest flax fibre in the
world can be produced here, and it is
up to us as community to see that the
industry is put on its feet and that Sa-
lem be given start towards her ulti-
mate destiny, "the flax center of the
United States, if not of the world"
! There is no city anywhere more ia
vorably situated than is Salem. Sur
rounded by one Of the richest agricul-
tural countries in the world, with a
wealth of cheap power for manufactur.
ing purposes at her doors in the swift
flowing Santiam, she can achieve al
most anything she undertakes. What
is needed more than anything else is
some raw product on which to use this
power and thus give employment to a
small army of workers. There is no
other product that furnishes so ideal
material as does flax, with its mani
fold branches of work, and opportunity
for employment,
Once the industry is under way, there
will be big payroll here and that is
the ultimate object. If Salem is to
grow and assume that high place which
her opportunities should give her, she
must find employment for labor, in
crease her payrolls, and, manufacturing
something the world needs, bring por.
ton of the world 3 money here for dis
tributon.
It is profitable crop to grow, too,
making it worth while for the farmers
as well as the city folks All our lands
cannot be devoted to fruit and berries,
nor is all of it fitted for those crops.
Land values are too high as general
thing to permit the growing Of wheat,
and the area devoted to hops will never
be much greater than now, especially
if the state goes dry. It is necessary
to find some other crop for our high
priced lands, and flax is the answer.
It is also the answer TO what shall give
us an increased payroll and what is the
most important factor in Salem's fu.
ture Every time the answer is flax.
While just now the Salem Board of
Trade is not taking any active steps
towards next years work in this line,
it is not forgotten, and it will be looked
after in due time. When Salem flax,
and Salem flax products, Salem linen
and Salem twines are asked after as
the very best in the markets Of the
world, then and then only will she have
reached the position in this branch
that she is entitled to, and that her
soil climate and water power make so
easy for her to attain. Salem prunes,
Salem hops Salem fruits and berries
arc already famous, and when we have
added to these Salem linen and Salem
thread and twine, we will have taken a
long step toward that 10000 mark in
1920, which we are sure to reach and
which with flax manufactures added
to our industries, we will far surpass.

DENVER WOMEN TO

out our loyalty he would have been

Many Are Fitted.
THE position of secretary of the
Senate Suffrage Committee is one for
which a large number of women are
eminently fitted by education and ex
perience to fill. And for a Colorado
Senator to have recognized the women
by such an appointment would have
meant definite and effective recon-
mendation of the suffrage cause.
Time and again the women have
fought in the Democratic party and
>srested tie banners of victory from the
enemy when the enemy had the men
running and had started to dance
saraband of triumph. And now the
women are going to put forth the chal-
lsnge, No more lemons.
