n. w. Farmers Favor
Flax as Industry

Minneapolis, Jan. % "a. PIN the
midst of a territory now being
grown in large measure to flax, Min
neapolis has risen to the largest pro-
duction city of linseed oil and meal
in the United States, with the posi-
BILE exception of New York.
Since September l, 1928. up to the
first of the year more than 100000
bushels of flax were unloaded at the
linseed mills here, comprising the
bulk of the last northwest crop, and
from which about 100000 tons OF
meal will be manufactured, accord
ing to reliable reports.
With University Of Minnesota
agricultural officials pointing out to
northwest farmers the attractiveness
of raising flax, with tariff protection
of 40 cents a bushel, short haul to
market, and consumption twice the
production, the favorable situation
was recognized and portions of the
wornout wheat lands were turned to
flax growing.
The Minneapolis production of lin
seed meal and oil results in the
crushing of more than, a 100000
bushels of seed a month.

Chicago Produce Market

,, C1lcago, July !.
With the new corn crop unoficially
estimated today as ranking 1856 per
cent. or normal, the lowest condition
ever recorded for this year, all deliv-
cries Of corn jumped to new high price
records for the season, but then quickly
declined as a result of profit taking
Corn closing prices were early t64c
net lower. July sc and September ga
to 94l. Wheat finished unsettled at Z
% &c off to an equal advance, July 1.15i
and September 1.16s63 to 1851, with
oats &c to sT1c down, and provisions
showing 2 to &c loss.
7 Highest prices in the corn market
came with a rush of buying right at
The outset. On the other hand, the
days low point was reached just before
business ended. Estimates issued by
various experts put the 1924 probable
yield of corn at 2.529.000,000 bushels
to 2.739, 200 900 bushels, against a har-
vest of 3.04S. 100000 bushels in 1928.
In the wheat market. adverse crop
reports from Canada were more or less
offset by increasing receipts of new
wheat southwest and by suspicious
harvest conditions. Meanwhile. world s
available stocks Of wheat showed o.
1000 bushels decrease for the week.
Oats prices reflected bearish esti-
mates of'oats crop improvement during
June.
Provisions were governed chiefly by
the action of corn.
