STANLEY FARMER
MADE $l2O ACRE
RAISING FLAX.

An interesting letter has been re-
Wis, in which he tells of his success
and large profits in flax culture. In
view of the fact that many farmers in
the vicinity of Baraboo are planning
to raise seed flax this season and are
contracting to sell the straw to the
new flax mill here, Mr. Thoreson
letter will be of special interest to
them.
"In raising flax, land should be
clover or timothy sod, plowed in
the fall and well worked in the
spring before seeding 1t should be
worked about three inches deep,
leaving the ground beneath hard.
The pillow should cut about eight
inches deep. Flowing in the spring
is all right if the ground is dry.
FLAX will grow on most any soiE
that is rich or is well fortified. Flax
should be sowed after wheat and oats
and as soon as the ground is dry and
warm. It is better to sow late when
the ground is wet, and the crop does
not take a very long season. | sow
from 40 to as pounds to the acre
When / raised the crop in Dakota
sowed about 80 pounds. 1t takes more
seed here in Wisconsin as it does not
stool as much. 1t should not be
harvested until about 6 or IL days af-
ter it shows ripe as leaving it stand
for few days after ripening makes a
better grade of seed and a higher ger
mination and more straw and a strong
er fibre.
81 cut fax with binder and shock
about or 10 bundles together. It
should not lie on the ground as it
spoils the grade of the seed and hurts
the termination and makes the straw
brittle and rotten.
Bigger Crops on Flax Land
81 thresh out of shocks or stack
when it is dry and leave it stand un-
til late. Flax takes the substance out
of the ground that produces too much
straw in other grains. In this county
oats, wheat, barley, ETC., grows heavy
to straw, and does not fill out as wel2
as it should I got from 10 to- II
bushels more oats per acre planting
on fax land.
az have raised from Is to % bush
els of fax seed per acre, and this
averaged me $3.50 per acre this last
season, figuring straw and seed. I
have raised fax for 80 years and
find it one of the surest crops have
raised and it brings me about twice
as mich per acre as other grains.

the tender tribute paid by Rev. r
C. Henke to the beautiful character
of Irma Langdon Gumbrecht
The delicate beauty and fragrance
of the flowers placed by loving hands
on the casket, was symbolieal of the
personality of she whom they shelter

To but few are given the priceless
gift of character SO fepiete with an

character as rare as it was beautiful
and her life was filled to overlooking
with the joy of loving service. Eff

She was the beloved superintendent
of the Glenville Sunday school. In

the children especially, by her sweet
happy disposition.
She was lovely flower in the gar

cannot understand why God in His in
finite wisdom should call one so young
unless it be that she may stand as a
beautiful beacon Of light, to guide
those left behind along the starlighted
road Of service.
We can best show cur love and ap-
probation for her beautiful life, by
taking up the work she has laid down
and with Gods help carry it on in the
