1t has been shown that better flax
Is produced from seed of selected
strains than from imported seed, such
as has been used in the past. Efforts
are being made, too, to increase the
seed of these selections for distribu-

A special survey is being made this

About 5000 acres of fiber flax was
grown in the United States In 1920,
but the relatively low price for fiber
has resulted in a greatly reduced acre
age in 1921, estimated at 5000 acres.

market in the world. Since 1890 an
average of over 2,OOO,OO0,OOO feet of
lumber has come into Chicago every

2,500,000,000 feet, 60 per cent of which
went into local construction and
manufacturing Industries. In 1900 the
average freight paid on lumber COM
ing into Chicago was less than So per
M feet. Since that time the local
sources of supply for this territory
have been exhausted one after an
other. Lumber shipments have trav-
ersed greater and greater distances.
and the average freight bin paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than $40 per NJ feet,
