Wednesday of last week when he fell

some one opened a trap door near the

Mr.. Eklund stepped back from the

He took a hard fall and got a

a 10 bushel crop of fax will remove
as much plant food as a twenty
bushel crop of wheat and this is about
the way the yields of the two
crops compare, so that there is not
much difference between the plant
foot removed by these two crops each
year.
There seems to be an impression
that flax is hard on land. This has
undoubtedly come from the fact that
when wheat is grown on the same
land several years in succession the
crop grows smaller each year, and it
may entirely cease to yield. This,
however, is due to a disease known as
Flax Wilt. When this gets into the
land that is growing flax it increases
each year that flax is grown on the
land, consequently, the fact that flax
runs down quickly when grown IN the
same land several years in succession
has nothing to do with the amount
of plant food that it removes but ie
due to this disease.
It has been found that when flax
has not been grown oftener than

the injury was due merely to a cramp

once in every five or six years that
it does well. Professor Bolley states
that this is due to the fact that by
this time. the flax wilt disease has
died out. Hefhas developed a wilt
resistant flax which can be grown on
land that does contain the flax wilt
and still produce a crop. However, it
is not advisable to sow flax oftener
than once every five years even when
wilt resistant flax is used.
