Expert Says Our Flax
Not Good As Ireland S

Sir Francis Webster and his son regis
tered this morning az the Marion hotel.
He is the flax expert who is interested
in spinning and who mas made several
trips to this country during the past
few years from his home in Scotland
Instead of telling the governor and
the flax experts of the city that Sa-
lem has the finest flax in the world, Sin
Francis told them that the product of
this valley could not compare with that
of Belgium OF northern Ireland, but
that it was of better grade than the
Russian flax.
While flax is now selling for eight
times its normal price, Sir Douglas
thouglas thought that after the war end
ed the normal conditions would bring
the price to that of former years. He
thought the flax should not be moved
but that the quality would be improved
by pulling and that was the best meth
cd for this valley.
