IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE

President Wilson, who has not been

tomobile ride towards Baltimore a
few days ago in the hope that the
fresh country air might benefit him.
AS he vas passing the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College he noticed a ball
game in progress between the team Of
that college and one representing st.

sident stopped for some time and en-
joyed watching the game.
President Wilson is not in favor of

The linseed oil is used largely in
paints and in the manufacture Of lin
oleum and of printers ink. The de-
mand therefore, is dependent upon the
development of those industries. No
satisfactory substitute has yet been
found for linseed oil.
The flax production was fairly uni
form for several years up till 1908,
but for the next two years there was
a rapid decrease in production so that
in 1910 the world supply of fax was
much below that of any a 81 in the
previous seven years. The demand for
linseed oil, however, continued to in
crease so that this shortage in supply
compelled the high prices of this and
following years.
The effect of these high prices was
apparent in the very great increase in
production in all the fax-growing
countries. In Argentine the produc-
| ton of flax doubled between 1910 and
| 1912; in Canada it almost trebled and
in the United States the increase was
nearly 40 per cent. India and Rus

result was a rapid decline in price and

FLAX CROP CONDITIONS FOR 1915

Flax as a grain crop, while n of
the lesser crops of the world, is yet
for certain countries and particularly
for certain sections of these countries,
a very important crop. 1t seems to
be grown mainly in the newer or less
developed countries of the world. Ar
gentine produces the largest crop and
exports the largest portion of it. Rus
STA is the next largest producer. In
dia and the United States grow about
an equal amount and Canada follows
them closely. All of these countries
export flax except the United States
which has to import a portion of its
supply.
The fax crop in the United States
is produced mainly in ten states,-
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Kansas, Iowa,
Missouri, North Dakota, South Dako-
ia, Nebraska, Montana and Colorado,
Only four of these states, however
produce over 500, 600 bushels per year

QUARANTINE MODIFIED FOR
HOMESTEADERS' LIVESTOCK

Bozeman, Mon, June 9.-According
to DR.. Howard WEIGH, professor Of
veterinary science at the Montana
State College, the state sanitary
board have just modified the quaran-
tine order made against the foot and
mouth disease. The importation of
livestock into Montana is nov prohi-
bited from only a restricted area,
most Of the southern and middle west
ern states now being regarded as free
from the disease. This modification
of the quarantine order is of a good
deal of consequence to intending
homesteaders, who have been unable
for several months to bring any live
stock into the state.

Seed Treatment
All fax seed should be thoroughly
treated with formaldehyde, using the
standard strength solution, 16 ounces
(avoirdupois) to each 40 gallons of
water. AS flax is an oily seed, the
solution must be put on in the form
of a fine spray. There are many spray
pumps upon the market which can &c
used for this purpose. A thorough
and detailed description of different
methods of treatment is given in Cir

Rate of Seeding

ing. As much as 10 to 20 pounds has
been sown without overcrowding the
plants. Shallow seeding is preferable
to deep seeding.
Time Of Seeding.
The best time for seeding varies
decidedly with the crop conditions dur.
ing the year. Early seeding gives
best results in cool seasons with early
frosts. On the other hand late sown
fax is the heaviest yielder in hot sum
mers which are followed by cool falls
and late frosts.
Pure Seed
At least one farmer in each neigh
borhood should plant a field Of pure
bred pedigreed fax. The original seet
of this field should be certified anc

from foul weeds, etc., by an official Of

Selection of Seed for Sowing
The unpopularity of fax is due
mostly to two cause.-the belief that
fax is a soil robber and therefore hard
on land, and the introduction of weeds
of the mustard family through the
fax seed. Field experiments and
chemical Investigations have proved
that fax is not essentially hard on
land as compared with other cash
grain crops which are sold in their
original form and not marketed thru
live stock. At present it is thought
that plant diseases which affect the
fax crop are to a great extent re-
sponsible for the low yields which
have often been attributed to soil ex-
haustion; therefore great care should
be exercised in the selection of flax
seed for sowing purposes.
Disease infected seed is usually
shrunken and shriveled and the sides
instead of being full and round are
dished. Disease is also carried b,
stems and other trash. Sowing seec
