TRIALS SHOW FLAX
NOT HARD ON LAND
Satisfaction Experiments Indicate
, Flax Does Not Deserve Its
Name Of Soil Robber.

Experiments covering nine years
with fax sown continuously and in ro-
tation with other crops at the Judith
Basin experiment substation tend to
explode the time-honOred contention
that fax is a %soil-robber. impoverish-
ing the land on which 1t Is grown.
In nine years where fax was grown
each season on the same plot Of
ground, the records of the Judith sub
station show that the largest single
yield resulted from the eighth consec-
.utive flax crop, and that the average
yield for the last four years was high
er than the average for the five pre-
vious years. These experiments were
conducted from 1908 to 1915 inclusive.
Flax yields per acre on this plot,
which was reasonably free from dis
ease, during the period were: 1908.
1912 bushels; 1909, 1863 bushels: 1910,
$50 bushels (drought) 1911, 14.6
bushels; 1912, s bushels (hail) ; 1918.
14.2 bushels; 1914, ia bushels; 1915.
1919 bushels; 1915, 8.5 bushels. The
total per acre yield for the five years.
10O9-12 inclusive, was g. bushels, the
fve-year average 1924 bushels. The
total yield for the four years from
1926 inclusive was 81 bushels, the
flve-year average 1876 bushels.
Spring wheat drilled into fax stub.
BILE thrives MS we'll as, in fact. accord
ing to Judith Basin substation records
for 1914, 1915 and 1915. better than
when following wheat, oats or barley.
The following are per acre yields:
1914: Spring wheat following fax,
20.8 bushels; following wheat. 1873
bushels: following oats, 17.8 bushels.
1915: Spring wheat following flax,

E 1915: Spring wheat following flax.
"a bushels; following wheat. 23.3
bushels: following oats. 23.5 bushels.
Poor crops following flax are due,
as a rule. to poor tilling, disking and
: soil preparation to weeds introduced
. through foul flaxseed, or to the fact
that the fax was planted late and be
o ing late. used up fall moisture that
should have gone to the following crop

covered with more clothing than an
other, and there should be no part OF
the body, such as bare legs, arms OF
chests, left unclothed. All the cloth
ing should fit loosely and be made
of a light soft material. Tight cloth
ing should be avoided.
Another thoughtful point to be
taken into consideration is the teeth
ing of the child. If the child is kept
in all-round good condition, teething'
is merely a part it's all-round devel-
opment, no more troublesome than the
growth of hair on its head. To the
healthy child, the cutting of each sue
cessive tooth may be irritable for a
few days, but it will not last long.
When the child is not in a healthy
condition these slight disturbances
take on a more serious form, and
watchful are should be taken.
The following is the average table
of dentition.
At IL months, six teeth.
At 10 months, twelve teeth.
At "a months, sixteen teeth.
At 80 months, twenty teeth, or the
complete set of first, or milk teeth, as
they are sometimes called.
If the teeth are discolored and ir-
regular, or if they decay early, have
a dentist look them over, as it may
be necessary to treat them. If de-
cayed first teeth are permitted to re-
main in the jaw, or if they are drawn
too o the second teeth will be
unhealthy or irregular in shape and
position.
A baby must have an abundant sup
ply of fresh air every night, as we'll
as in the daytime. 1t is advisable to
have the baby's bed made from an or
binary clothes basket, with an old soft
comforter as a mattress.
The child's body develops faster
during the first year of it's life than
at any other time. A baby should
sleep about 10 or 2 Ohours out Of the
"a. Inc sleeping room should De
darkened and we'll ventilated. The
baby should be fed and made COM
Portable in every way possible, put in
his bed, and let alone to go to sleep.
He should never be rocked to sleep,
nor jolted nor jounced.
Almost from the beginning the
child should be taught in various ways.
He should not be picked up every
time he cries, and he should not be
allowed to eat between meals. As he
grows older he should not be made to
think he is "cute" or funny" and
should not be made a mothers "pet."
Much are should be taken in the
early training Of the child, for from
that his true character is developed,
which leads toward good or bad cit
.izenship.
