WORLDS SUPPLY OF
FLAX SEED IS SHORT
High Prices and Adaptability
Make 1t a Desirable Crop.
Montana Big Producer

Flax seed in the United States is
commanding an excellent price with a
promise of permanence at least until
after this years crop is harvested,
and probably much longer, because of
the influence upon the market bal
ance of a definite shortage in the
world production of fax in 1916.
Because flax normally yields high
returns as a cash crop on sod break
ing, and because it is possible to ma
ture a large crop of fax when the
crop is put in at a date later than
would do for spring wheat, a consid-
cradle acreage is annually planted to
it in this locality and in fact generally
throughout northern and eastern
Montana.
On April Ia the Duluth, MIMI, quo
tation on flax was 1928 a bushel, COM
pared with 1922 offered on the goth
of March and $2.72 offered on March
20, 1916. So many great industries
depend upon fax that there is scarce
ly any prospect that demands will be
materially lessened by reaso of the
fact that this nation has entered the
war the gravity of which cannot be
gagged at this time.
The United States annually con
sumes about 29, 1000 900 bushels of flax
seed. In 1916 it's total crop, available
for this seasons needs, was 15,460,O00
bushels. To meet the domestic de-
mand the United States must import
over $4,000, 900 bushels of fax from a
world supply that dropped from an
annual average for the proceeding five
year period Of 114,661, 611 bushels, to
64,32O, 900 bushels in 1916, a decrease
Of Al per cent.
The northwest is looked to for
most of the domestic supply Of flax
seed. Farmers who are looking fol-
seed to plant will be informed as to
where weed-free disease-resistant
seed of a specified variety well
adapted to Montana may be had, by
writing to the Montana experiment
station at Rozeman, Montana.

NO PARTY LINES

Republican Floor Leader Mann made a serious mis-
take when he undertook to inject partisanship into the
discussion OF the provision for a congressional commits
tee ON expenditures. His effort was not good statesman-
ship, and il was not good party politics. Party politics
has Its place. but Its place is not In the discussion Of
great issues which affect the efficiency OF a nation in
war. There is no Republican way Of conducting this
war. There is no Democratic way. There is an Ameri-
can way, and that way 10 the way OF pronptness and pos-
|itiveness and alertness. It Is the duty Of every citizen to
aid In having the war conducted In that wayS and no
man who has the slightest claim to be considered q
statesman can think OF proceeding In any other way.
Contrasted with the attitude OF Mr.. Mann ii that
of Congressman Cannon. Nobody will accuse Uncle Joe
of not being a thorough-going partisan. He is a Repub-
lean from his toes up. and he never makes any secret
of the fact or any apologies for 1t. But Mr.. Cannon Ii
e Republican who understands that there are times when
there - something bigger than partisanship to consider,
and he believes that this fl one OF the times.

less in common than Mr.. Cannon and President Wilson.

FOLK SONG REVIVAL
PREDICTED FOR u. S.
Professor Dykema Lectures at Uni,
versity on Popular Singing
and Music.

The revival of folk singing in
America vas predicted last night by
Professor Peter w. Dykema, head Of
the music department Of the univer-
sity of Wisconsin, who gave a lecture
recital in the Woodwork auditorium
at the North Dakota State University.
The lecture .inaugurated a week of
community singing which will be held
at the summer sessions and the sum-
mer school of the university.
The subject Of Professor Dykema's
lecture vas "Fo1k-Song as a Mirror OF
Life" and he pointed out that in this
country, Kentucky was especially well
represented by folk songs In weird
mountainous regions, "far from the
maddening crowd" were found the
great mass of particularly charater-
istic folk songs. and the speaker en-
phasized the fact that a peoples cul-
ture and traditions are faithfully mir
rored in the qaint text and tunes of
the old songs.
Professor Dykema will conduct two
round table conferences at the sum-
mer session next Monday and We'd
nesday afternoon at with special
reference to the matter of developing
community singing. A series Of
Song meetings will be held during
the coming week.
