Flaxseed Production
Will Show Increase
Prices Fluctuate to Disad-
vantage Of the Growers.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Asriculture)
1here IS an increasing spread be-
tween the production OF ilaxseeu in
the United States and the demand for
nome consumption, according to the
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture. Until 1908 this country produced,
on an average, more than it consumed
ana therefore was able to export u
surplus in nearly every year, Begin.
ming with 1909, however, our prOduc.
ton began to Decline while our re-
Quirements began to increase with
population. Net imports consequently
have increased. The reduction in CON
sumption in 1917 and 1918 was due to
war restrictions, and that in 1920 and
1921 to business depression. 1t is
fairly certain that the figures for 1922,
when available, will show an increase
In consumption.
As the United States changed in po-
siuon from an exporter to an importer
Of faxseed, the farm price of flax In
creased materially. In 1907, when q
surplus of over 100000 bushels was
exported, the farm price of faxseed
on December averaged 06 cents a
bushel. In 1908, when production and
consumption were practically equal,
the farm price Of tiaXseed was $l.lS
bushel. In 1909. when 4,957,OO
bushels were imported, the farm price
rose to $1.53 u bushel.
In many localities a comparatively
small volume Of tlaXseed Is marketed /:
and because the price tluctuates wide
ly, tlaxseed usually Is bought on n
wide margin, and the grower often
does not receive the full value of his
crop. This condition could be i'm
proved if several growers of tlaxseed
In such localities would combine their
deliveries and thus market n carload
or more ut one time.

Farm Implements Should
Be Placed Under Cover

The average farmer does not get full
value out of the most Of the farm i'm
plemcnts that he buys for at least two
reasons. One reason is that he has
no place to house them, hence they
weather-that is, they get wet and rust
or decay. Having implements lay out
in the weather season is worse on
them than one seasons use.
In too many cases the writer has
seen farm implements such us plows,
cultivators, binders, and many other
implements setting in the field where
last used, and many times, the shOvels
Of cultivators are even left in the
ground.
Before using these implements the
next season the shOvels of cultivators
and the various bright parts of the
implements have to be secured with
sand rock before using. This not only
takes of layer OF metal but requires
great deal Of time. II one will just
think moment he will know that the
work Of securing the implements and
getting them ready for use is much
more work than to have cleaned and
creased these bright metal parts with
axle grease and painted the wood and
other metal parts when through using
the implements. BY doing this the air
and water is kept from the metal and
wood, hence, the implements will fare
well even II left out in the weather.

Is Important Factor.

vo+ermelon growers should give seri-
ors consideration to their responsible
,es in connection with prevention OF

S,o,es Department of Agriculture.

lion has shown that, provided ship

Rot Coming Under Control.
The stem-end rot fungus. which not
only causes stem-end rot. but also
brings about decay following bruises
and cuts in the rind, has been source
Of heavy loss In the past, and Is still
q factor Of great Importance. In 1919
a campaign of education concerning
methods of control for this disease
was initiated In the Southeastern
states, the United States Department
Of Agriculture and the state extension
services cooperating. AS result of
the interest taken in this work by
farmers, distributors, and railroads,
stem-end rot is coming under control.
This conclusion is borne out by rec
ords from the food products inspec-
ton service, which indicate that in
Georgia shipments losses from stem
end rot have been cut from 14.4 per
cent in 1920 to S3 per cent in 1921,
and c. per cent in 1922; and in Flor
ida shipments from 100 per cent in
1920 to lO.1 per cent in 1921 and SO
per cent in 1922.
Timely Suggestions.
In order that stem-end rot and losses
in transit due to other causes may be
reduced, farmers should make every
effort to carry out the following sug-
gestions at harvest season:
a. If possible avoid working
while the vines are wet.
Cd Never permit labor to handle
rotten melons in the field and then
work with fruit for shipment.
60 Never permit clipper to handle
or to touch knife to rotten melons in
the field.
a. Never permit clipper to cut
INTO melons while pushing knife
through the stem.

School System Reform
 Is Urged By Educator

New York, May I8.-City officials who disregard the welfare of school children by appointing political favor ties to executive positions in educa-- tional institutions were characterized as "traitors" by Dr. John R. Tildsley, district superintendent in charge of high schools.
 The speaker urged a reform in the citys educational system. The teach CTS are more efficient, he said, but the system needs overhauling.
 The classes of today are of un- reasonable size and there is a great waste in making pupils study things for which they have no aptitude It is not necessary for all children to study the same thing. The remedy could be found in each pupil being treated as an entity by the teacher, instead of teaching 10 or 50 children as a mass
 "We would have a new race of men and woman, race Qf social and intel lectual giants who would make our city over, if we adopted a new sys- tenn of teaching," said Dr, Tildsley. "NNe are spending too much money for the kind of education we are giv- ing. We are slipping backward day by day We are turning out an in efficient product because things are not done thoroughly; there Is lack of immediate contact between teach CTS and pupils.'

ANNUAL CONVENTION (. F. OF L. OPENS
 HERE JUNE 4TH
Many Matters of Utmost Importance Will Be Presented to Delegates
 for Discussion and Decision.

On Monday morning, June 4th, the 18th annual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor will convene at the Hotel Garde, New Haven.
 This convention, judging from the many resolutions that are coming into the office of the state branch, prom ises to be the most important yet held by the organized workers of Con- neCtlCut. It might be interesting to the dele gates to know that through the off cers of the organization the conven- tion will be addressed at the opening session by his honor, Mayor David E. FitzGerald of New Haven, and those who have had the good fortune to have heard him make one of his in teresting addresses know that there Is a big treat in store for the delegates.
 As the custom was established at the Meriden convention of the or ganization in 1919, the session on the opening day will be preceded by prayers, this year by Rev. Oscar E. Maurer of Center church. New Ha- ven, and Rev. Martin F. Doran of St. Francis R C. church, New Haven
 Invitations have been extended to Dean Charles R. Brown of the Yale Divinity School, and to Rabbi Lou1s L. Mann to address the convention some time during the four days ses- sion, and also to Attorney C. ]. Dana her of Meriden.
 The convention also will be hon ored by the presence of Peter J. Brady, chairman of the educational committee of the New York State Federation of Labor, who has been invited to address the convention on the policy of the trades unions hav- ing their own banking institutions.
 President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has written the officers of the state branch that in the event of himself not being able to come to New Haven during conven- tion week will have Vice-President Woll to speak here for him.
 Many important measures will be discussed during the four days ses- sion some of which are as follows: The immigration question, the pres ent legislatures failure to pass pro- gressive laws, the vocational school question, the open shop fight of the employers of this state. the building up of plan to have nothing but trade union made goods purchased by our people, the political plans of the or ganization.

 The convention heard Gompers lay down some hard and fast trade union doctrine Fosters friends and agents then tried to get permission for him to tell the convention all about his union busting Utopia, But the union told him to go chase himself around the block

 Twenty-one deaths in a year in a Florida convict camp owned by a state senatOr-so the newspaper reports go.
 And yet the Florida legislature hedges and trims about abolishing the leasing system!
 It wants to temporarily" abolish the lash and see how that works out.
 Could anything be more preposterous and amazing in 1925?
 Florida goes to great lengths to ad- vertise itself to the country as a paradise where all manner of folk may come and play.
 Perhaps the incongruity of a play ground where human beings are leased into slavery and hogged to death will yet occur to the honorable members of the Florida state legislature-even if some of the legislators do own and profit by convict camps!

 If wages hadn't come down at all we wouldn't have had any hard times at all. And unless wages keep going up we won't keep on having such good times as we now have. Mir. Banker, what do you think of that? Get off your moosburg and learn thing or two!

The income of the American Fed eration Is derived from fixed month ly contribution from international unions of one cent per member. These international unions pay this contri- button only for such members as are at work
 Thus each member of these inter national unions pays but I2 cents a year to the American Federation of Labor This is the principal and sole revenue of the American Federation of Labor.
 From directly affiliated local and Federal unions the American Fed eration of Labor receives 25 cents per month for members, but of this I2H cents are set aside in a defense fund out of which strike and lockout ben efits are paid; in addition five cents of this sum are set aside as a sub scription to the monthly official mag azine of the American Federation of Labor and only 7A cents are used to manage the affairs of these small groups of wage earners.

WANT SOLONS TO GO HOME

Springfield, H., May I8.-The state legislature has refused to adopt the cossack system and big business is now calling upon it to adjourn. The cossacks is the pet plan of reaction in this state, and the Illinois Manu- lecturers Association is so peeved that it Is calling upon its members to write to their representative to vote for adjournment.
 Another cause for alarm is the strong sentiment among lawmakers to curb injunction judges and to give relief to working women.

The High Place of Friendship.

HNHEN we think Of friendship, we naturally re-
Nv vert to David and Jonathan and Damon and
Pythias for examples. If the telling is true, those
boys were the real article. The mere matter OF
cutting off an arm or a leg If such a surgical
operation would benefit or advance the fortunes
of the other was as a trifle. None of these he,
.roes would give the incident a second thought.
The empty sleeve or the crutch would be a symbol
of devotion. A constant and delightful reminder
eof the love and faithfulness felt in his heart for
the other.
: These are the ideal and historical examples OF
friendships. The patterns held up for emulation.
They are approached often times and equalled in
a less number of times in the world of today.
That, however does not relieve any man or
woman Of the duty to do his share in maintain
ing the fires upon the altar of friendship as he
passes along the way through life.
In the everyday world. there comes to every
man q time when he looks for a friend.
Ho may do it when he is young, before he has
started out to make a career for himself, or he
may do his seeking after this hemer ideal
when he has grown gray in the service, but the
fine will come. come what may. This may be
helieved by many to be a mere sentiment. 1t may
be that, but there is some room for sentiment In
every mans life, and If he doesn't run 1t to death
he is going to reap a great deal OF beneflt Tor CIV
ing 1t q place in his life.
We may think of a man In public office as hav'
ing every resource at his command. He may have
and usually he has plenty of places to look for
assistance, but when he gets an extra hard knock
he looks for a real friend. 1t heartens one a
treat deal when some one comes to him, slaps him
on the back in friendly fashion and tells him not
TO mind an unkind thing that is said about him
or to buck up and go on with some plan that may
have It's difficulties. But It is not confined to
public life. The same thing happens in private
business experience. There are bound to be prob
Icms in every mans experience. They may be
sones that may be solved easily or they may be extra
Knotry. They will como nevertheless. Then it is
that he will look for something moro than mere
appreciation. lie will look for some comfort,
and that may be gotten only from a real friend.
