No-hit games have been observed to
come in punches and it may he that
the unusual showing of them this
spring will be followed by many
months that will see not a one. Three
more at the least and the pitchers of
1917 will have made a new record. At
the rate they have been going lately
it would seem that they could turn
the trick with ease.

FLAX SEED PRODUCTION URGED.
New Increased Acreage is Sought by
the Governn1ent

Following out the crop production
movement farmers are now urged to
SOW more fax, which is highly profit
able crop and costs less to seed, at
present prices, than most other small
grains.
Already the fax shortage is 100000
bushels and a greater shortage is in
prospect. The crop in Argentina
yielded only enough fax for reseeding.
and the Canadian acreage is bound
to be far below normal this year.
Flax may be seeded late and new
breaking is preferable, as its use serves
the additional purpose of getting the
land in shape for next years crop.
G. II. Clark a flax specialist, has
been detailed by the United States
Department Of Agriculture to further
the movement in Minnesota.

The present season is preparing to
shatter all records for no-hit games.
Three American league twirlers and
one National Lacquer have already
done the trick and few more sprink
led through the rest of the race will
make 1917 the banner year for no-hit
pitching performances. The season of
1908 holds the recordl with six no-hit
games.
The flock of no-hit games we have
seen this spring might cause the
average fan to feel that no-hit games
are not so very rare. But a look at
the dope sheet shows that they are
not seen every day. When George Mog-
ridge pitched no-hit game the other
day for the Yanks it was the first
time in the history Of the New York
American league club that such
thing had occurred. Also in 1915 La
vender beat the Giants without CIV
ing them a hit and it was the only
time such a thing happened to the
Giants in their seventeen seasons of
the pastime.
The pitchers of the present season
seem to have an excellent chance to
hang up new mark for no-hit games.
