CLEAN FLAX FOR CLEAN LAND.

The methods for controlling flax
wilt are simple. In the main they call
for the sowing of clean flax seed on
clean land, says E. c. Stakman, of the
Minnesota Experiment Station.
To obtain clean seed, first fan it
carefully; then grade it, in order to
remove all of the light kernels and
bits of chaff and other materials
which may harbor germs, and, finally
disinfect the bright healthy seed, OBJ
tanned by tanning and grading, with
formaldehyde, one pint to forty gal
Ions of water.
To disinfect the seed put it in thin
layer on a clean floor. Then apply

1927. This vessel was retained as a

There are two farmers in this vicin-

with him to dun him very time he
sees him in town, and not being able
to distinguish his debtor from the
other man who resembles him so
much in looks, he has several times
dunned the wrong man, when he
would apologize, take a good look and
resolve not to make the same mistake
again. Last Friday the man who had
so long and nobly owed our neighbor
as he upposed-accosted him on
the street and asked him if he wanted
some good flour; he had just had a
grist ground and would like to let
him have a hundred pounds. "Oh,

that he was a secret service Of
