Labor Shortage Serious
Problem In Connection
With State Flax Farms

A desperate situation has developed
in the state Is flax project, as brought
out this morning in q meeting Of the
board of control. The state has some
thing over 400 acres of flax under con
tract, aud il was expected that the
prison gang would be able to care for
il, but il was shown by the flax mana
ger this morning that the hot weather
is not only burning The flax but is
hardening the ground so that it makes
pulling difficult. There are 80 men
from the penitentiary now at work. but
Of this number there are some who can
not stand the heat, and others who
will not work any harder than is nee
essary to keep from being disciplined.
The manager states that q hundred
more hands could be used at once. The
superintendent of the state hospital has
been called upon for recruits, hut is
not sure whether group of inmates
can be spared from the institution
without interfering with the work on
their own grounds, Superintendent Gil
bert of the boys training school was
also appealed to but at this hour it is
not known whether group Of boys can
be obtained there. In some Of the fields
the crop is making fine showing this
year and will be very valuable if it
can be saved.
