FLAX SOWN IN

Erroneous Idea That Crop Should

NOW THE BEST SEEDING TIME

Brookings, S. D. April 9.---Experi-
meats at the Cottonwood, Eureka and
}Highmore substations of the state ex-
pertinent station have demongtrated
that FLAX sown in April produces. the
highest yield of seed. say the agrono- Z
mists at State college. According to
DR.. A. N. Hume, head of the agronomy
department, the idea which has long
prevailed thai flax may 30 put in af-
ter al other crops awe been put in, up
TO the first of July, is entirely wrong.
Now is the time to sow flax. If the land
is not already plowed, this should be
done Immediately, taking care not to
pillow 10 deeply at this late date, but to
turn the soil over only deep enough to
prepare q good seed scotland then use
a roller, if possible. The college agrono-
mists suggest using about two pecks of
seed an acre, own with a drill. If the
drill is set for that amount it will tend
10. run a little heavier. 1t is not neces-
sarys to SOW flax at a great depth-set
the drill just deep enough to get the
seed into the ground and have it
thoroughly covered.
Flax a Valuable Crop

flax which last. year was more profit

table than either corn or oats on the
same farm, with much less expense in
hauling to market. In this case the
flax was planted in April Just as 500
as the winter wheat was known to be
a failure on that farm. 1t is not the
purpose to insist on sowing large areas
of flax, but rather to call attention tn
the fact hat it might he worth while
to utilize small areas, say OF new
ground or wilder meadow land which

Apply the mixture with a hand spray

Shortly after he submitted this leg
islation to the committee Of Congress
he took occasion to address a letter to
the senior officer of the judge advo-

that his interest was not such as to
produce subsequent effort to secure
the enablement of this legislation.

ut may well be that, now the con
straint is removed which seemed to
him to oblige him to take an opposite
course, the judge acknowledgement re-
verts to his first view, which he on one

intellectual approval of the effort that
our officers were making to establish
such an appellate power in this de-

the beginning of the war, N the later
days of October, 1917, and, with the
| concurrence of every officer serving
at that time in this department. We

that power. The views of this officer
were embodied in an officer opinion
