BOJLey TO Test
Flax at College

The department Of botany Of the
agricultural college will this season
conduct plot tests of fax seed to as
certain the wilt resistant value Of
seed flax. Farmers who think they
have a resistant variety and wish
such tests made are urged to send
their samples at once-a few ounces
of seed will be sufficient. By this
method any farmer can get exact
knowledge Of the wilt resistance Of
his flax 1t is hoped to standardize
such lots of seed as cannot now be
traced back to the original source,
and to determine If the adnlixture
Of common, non-resistant fax is
present. etc.
These tests were undertaken sew
eral years ago in an experimental
way. The results gave great pos
sibilities Of aiding growers to gain
in fax cropping. We
think we can cause the saving of
thousands Of dollars to the farmers
in the state in the, crop Of 1919.
If interested, send in your flax
seed sample at once. It must be on
hand by June 10. Address H. L.,

SCUTTLES
BELGIAN STEAMER
on 2lst of June
l,400 Miles at Sea;
Is Survivors

by Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, July 3.-The Belgian
Steamer Chilier was sunk 1,400 miles
off the Atlantic coast on June 81, the
navy department today announced.
Twenty-Five survivors were picked up
by a sailing vessel on June %.
The following statement was issued:
"The navy department is informed
that the Belgian Steamer Chilier was
sunk by shell fire from a German sub
marine about 1,400 miles at sea, from
the Atlantic coast, on June 81. Twen-
ty-five survivors were rescued on
June " by a sailing vessel. First in
formation was received last night.
The Chilier was a ship of 1886 gross
tons.'
The Chilier was sent down in mid
ocean three days after the British
transport Dwinsk was torpedoed 700
miles from the American coast. 1t is
thought probable here that both ves-
sells were victims of a German sub
marine or submarines returning to
base after raiding off the United
States.

with letters from farmers bewailing
the probable disastrous effects Of the
governments action
Rowland p. Prothero, president Of
the board of agriculture, sympathized
with the complaint but emphasized
the overmastering need for men for
the army. Man-power was short all
around, he said, but essential indus
tries must yield in proportion to man
power for the army. Men taken now
would be fighting at the end of Sep
TENDER, which possibly would be the
critical moment, The government rec
ognized the need Of men as overpow-
