FLAX STILL IS
POPULAR CROP
MANY CONDITIONS SERVE TO
MAKE BETTER PROSPECTS FOR
GROWER THIS YEAR.-IM-
PORTANT IN MONTANA.

With the price of flax seed back to
its pre-war normal and hence on a
stable basis, with prospects of re-
sumption of building that would create
a strong demand for flax seed,
and with foreign growers prac-
tically eliminated through American
tariff provisions and unattractive
prices abroad, the attention of the
Montana farmer will turn more warm
iy than ever to flax for late spring
seeding this year.
Montana ranks third among Ameri-
can states in flax production, and flax
ranks the fourth most important crop
in this state. Low cost of seed for
planting this spring, recent rains and
the cutworm damage in wheat fields
this spring all are factors that
will combine to make flax growing at
tractive in 1921. While in the past
much Of the ground seeded to flax in
this state has been new breaking, low
prices and lack of credit will prohibit
the usual amount of new breaking this
year. Most of the 1921 flax crop in
Montana will be raised on the smaller
farms, with the average farm acreage
probably between 90 and 30 acres.
Low prices for flax seed last fall
were due TO lack of painting opera
TONS But the world cannot go long
without a resumption of building, and
hence great demand for paints. With
a tariff of % cents per buShel on flax
seed, an even moderate resumption of
in America this year should
mean rise in the price of flax
seed, which is now at normal level.
Even a continuance of present con-
1itions would find a growing demand
or flax seed, as oil stocks are now.

MONTANA CLIMATE is
FAVORABLE FOR FLAX

Flax is peculiarly adapted to Mon
tana's soil and climate. The crop re-
quires an abundance of sunshine,
warm days and cool nights. for the
maximum production of high quality
seed. 1t is found to thrive best ON well
compacted soils. and especially on
| loans and loamy clay soils.
Flax has for many seasons been the
cash crop of the pioneer Careful in
vestigation has shown that flax is not
particularly hard on the land. although
inclined to leave the top soil rather
dry. Flax is an efficient user of soil
moisture
Flax is a poor weed fighter, so care
must be taken to eliminate weeds ~
fore seeding. 1t is highly important
that seeding be done Immediately af-
ter the final cultivation. A delay will
mean the start of weeds.
New breaking for flax should be to
a depth of four or five inches. Fur
rows should be laid as flat and evenly
as possible. Land should be disced or
packed Immediately after plowing. and
followed by immediate cultivation that
will fill loose dirt into the cracks be-
tween furrows.
Corn ground, fallow, potato land and
freshly plowed sod are more suitable
for flax growing than land that has
been cropped to small grains. On corn
ground only a little surface stirring to
kill weeds is advisable.
High quality seed is an important
item in flax production The choice
seed for Montana lies between n. D.
155, N. d. Resistant 80 and N. d. Rs
sistant ia. Care should be taken TO
insure against the sowing of bad weed
seeds.
The Wolf Point herald., 1921-05-26
PLANTING OF FLAX.

Flax should be planted at the rate
of about 20 pounds to the acre, on an
average.
While flax is often considered
''catch crop" for late planting, early
seeding is recommended
Flax is resistant to drouth. Care
should be taken in irrigation districts
to apply the water well before bios
soming time.
Flax should be planted as soon as
possible after the sowing of wheat and
oats.

Modern Lessons In
GEOGRAPHY
LIMA AND CALLAO

Lima, capital of Peru, and Callao
its port, where half the combined Pa
ciic and Atlantic fleets of the United
States is riding at anchor after the
passage of the Atlantic ships through
the Panama Canal, forms the subject
of the following bulletin issued from
the Washington, D. G. headquarters
Of the National Geographic Society
"The air of Callao, though it is
clear and sparkling in this summer
season below the equator, may be
said to be heavy with the traditions
of nearly four hundred years of the
activities of European adventures,
exploiters, and empire builders
Ports, apparently, meant little to the
Incas and their precursors, so the
history of this sheltered bay, which
constitutes one of the best harbors
on the Pacific coast of South Ameri-
ca may be considered to have begun
shortly after Pizarro and his beard
ed comrades entered Peru in 1882.
Starting Point for Spanish Treasure
Ships
'From Callao in the years that fol-
lowed sailed a constant stream of
galleons loaded with gold and silver
that conquistadores stripped from the
rich continent on which they had
gained foothold. Lima, only eight
miles inland, became the seat of the
vice-regal government by which all
South America was ruled, and Callao
was practically the only gate through
which the treasure gathered by the
colonial agencies was poured into the
lap of the Spanish king. Close to
Callao often lowered British and
Dutch pirates to swoop down on the
treasure ships.
"Callao was the first Pacific port in
South America to have completed
modern harbor works. Treasure is
still being taken from Peru through
Callao, but not it is in the form of
copper ore from the rich mines of
the interior, 1t is transported to the
port on modern railroad, instead of
on the backs of men and donkeys,
and is loaded on great ocean freigh-
ters by modern cranes.
Plaza Once Solar Plexus of Con-
tinent
"a half hour after boarding an
electric car in the city of Callao the
traveller alights at one of the many
plazas in Lima, capital of Peru and
thriving city of 100000 inhabitants.
Not far away he will find the center
of the city's life and traditions
the Plaza Mayor, or great square.
All of the city's street car lines ra-
diate from this center as though rep
the influence and power
that radiated from the same spot to
all South America when Lima was
the City of the Kings On one side
of the Plaza Mayor rises the Cathed-
raj with its lofty twin towers. Pi- {
zarro is said to have laid the founda- {
tion stones. His mummy is now ex- s
hibited inside the structure.

MONT ANA THIRD IN FLAX

Only two states of the Union pro-
duce more flax than the state of Mon
tana. Minnesota leads. with North
Dakota second. Flax has averaged S.5
per cent of the total value of the farm
crop for ten years in Montana.
The Wolf Point herald., 1921-05-26
SOME FLAX POINTERS.

The low prices of last year
will not encourage big acreage
abroad. A tariff on flax SEED
will encourage local growers.
Flax contributes to the dlver-
sity of dry land crops. a good
practice on any farm. Flax
sown the last of May or first of
June often makes a good crop.
while early sown wheat or oats
may not always make good
crops.
Farmers are advised to seed
only small fields TO flax. The
fields should be well TILED. Only
clean. treated flax seed should
be planted.

COMPETITION DISCOURAGED.

The selling of flax seed in Argen-
tina at 25 cents per bushel less than
wheat last year is believed to have
worked against a large acreage thrs
year abroad. The American crop
stays around 100000 bushels, and
should continue around that figure in
1921.

j. s. MAY TAKE
ACTION AGAINST
! XII kLUX KHAN

Z Washington, Sept 20.-The de-
partment of justice is considering
whether federal action shall be
taken in connection with the activi-
ties of the Ku Klux Khan, Attorney
General Daugherty announced to-
day.
Mr.. DaUgherts said he would
confer tomorrow with Director
Burns of the bureau of investiga-
ton who has been directed to look
into the question and if the facts
warranted, would seek a grand jury
investigation CT the Ku Klux Khan
in some district and urge indict-
ment against any members where
justified.
Any federal action against the
khan, Mr.. Daugherty said, would
probably be under some statute
covering conspiracy but the legal
problem involved, h added, was
somewhat complex. On its face, he
explained, the literature of the Ku
Klux Khan was not in violation of
the law.
What was to be determined, he
explained was what went on be-
hind the scenes.
