PLANTING FLAX.

~ great deal of fax will be planted
ut this season of the year. 1t is we'll
to call attention again to the fact that
the flax producing areas in 1912 were
rather carefully Investigated to find
the cause of the successes or failure.
1t was found that in 1912, all flax
grown upon dry land and properly
prepared land resulted in successful
crop unless destroyed by hail.
Land may he made clean in one of u
few different ways. Sod land is clean.-
Flax makes coed Sod crcp. Old
land, for the most part especially if it
has been under cultivation for some
years, is likely to be foul with weeds.
There are only two ways to get rid
of this foul condition. One of these
is to plow so deeply as to bury the
weed seed beyond it's ability to come
up during the season. This can be
successfully done with deep tillage
machine, an the land so plowed when
thoroughly disked and narrowed aft
erwards' makes an almost ideal con-
dition for flax. The other method of
getting old land clean of weeds re-
quires clean cultivation for several
years and is not adapted to use where
seeding must be done this year.
