Cat Tails Brlna In Caeh.

The heavy growth Of flag, familiar
ly known MS "cat tails" that borders
Cayuga lake In New York. and covers
thousands Of acres Of the Montezuma
marshes, was for many years consider
ed OF little value. The small quantity
used for chair seats was not enough
to develop n well-organlzed industry.
In recent years the flag has come
into general use In cooperage shops.
Where good barrel is required the
cracks are made tight with strip Of
flag. The fag In this Vicinity Is OF the
right sort; II grows under water for
at least four months and is large and
soft.
The flag harvest Is nn attractive oc-
cupntIon for men who know how TO go
about the task and live near the fields.
From n price OF five to seven cents
bundle. the prevailing prices for next
senson's contracts have advanced 10
