Japan Extends
Laws to Cover
Saghalien Island

Toxic, May 26.--To knit Japanese
Saghalien more closely to the rest
of the empire, the cabinet has de-
cided to put into force there sew
eral laws which heretofore have not
applied to this northern possession.
These include the concripition law,
which will make inhabitants of Sag
halien liable to service in the army,
the nationality law and the census
registration law, all calculated to
insure the cohesion of the empire
and to increase the control of the
central government.
The southern half of Saghalien,
which became Japanese possession
as result of the Russo-Japanese
War, has made remarkable progress
in the development of administra-
tive organs and community life, ac-
cording to Toxic officials, and the
time is considered ripe to admins
ter that territory as an integral
part Of the empire.

ling q total for the year of a5,74s, 900

ing a total for the year of a5,74e.ooo
bushels.
From October, 1923 to March, 1924
a total of 1s,549,OO0 bushels was
consumed which would leave
possible reduction of nine and two
Itenths per cent in the consumption
from April to September of this
year and still keep this years con-
sumption equal to that Of last year.
The figures do not include the
quantity needed for sowing purposes
as. the consumption figures show
only that used in the production
of linseed oil.
DR.. Trowbridge points out that
the linseed oil consumption for sew
eral years past has in the main
shown an increase and judging
from past consumption farmers
might safely increase production
and yet not endanger the demand
for the crop.
The average acre value of flax
seed in 1922, according to figures
compiled by T. E. Stoa, assistant
agronomist at the college, was
1887 while the average acre value
of wheat was $l4. In acre farm
value flax on the average is more
profitable than wheat and in the
last two years especially so, says
MIR. Stoa. 1t costs more to raise
an acre of flax but this added cost
will not offset, under ordinary con-
ditions, the advantages of the high
er income received from the flax
In Montana, Minnesota and the
two Dakotas a higher quality Of
seed is to be expected and our
cheaper land here is an argument in
the favor of these states over other
states as flax growing regions. In
this section, however, our weed
problem is greater and our yields
probably not SO high.

San Gregorio is wine growing

tiyated. Nearly all the laborers also
are small landowners and cultiva-
tors, but notwithstanding their gen.,
eral well-being their exactions in
wages, hours of labor and extra pri-s
vileges grew SO onerous that the.
big landdwners Ainally agreed to
put thoroughgoing communism into
effect. The land was; turned over
to the whole populations with the
condition. that the proceeds were
to be divided between labor and
as a result. offers for allotments
; o. land poured in and now the new
landlords are trying to regain their
OLD status Of laborers sure OF DAY
wages. The new tenants invoked
the high cost of labor and living,
and all the old complaints, to ex-
cpse offers. of about one-third less
than the land is really worth, and
the scheme ms collapsed.
