Flax Outlook Favorable
in State for 1927

Bozeman. May 15.- With the
world gracefully consuming two
record breaking crops of flax seed
frum the Argentine and flax still
quoted at $t89 12 per bushel on
he London market on April 27, this
crop offers as favorable price pros
poets for the coming season as any
of Montana's major cash crops, ac-
,ording to the department of aeri-
cultural economics at the Montana
experimental station.
The United States can expand pro-
duction and still remain within do
mestic requirements to give pro-
ducefs the benefit of the tariff is in
dicated by the fact that last year
more than % million bushels of
flaxseed were imported into the
United States to be added to the
less than 20 million bushels pro-
duced here to meet domestic require
ments. In the face of this rather
favorable situation farmers of the
northwestern states have signified
their intention of increasing spring
wheat and decreasing flax acreage
and this in spite of the fact that the
wheat outlook is decidedly unfavor-
able.
Economists suggest that farmers
may well take advantage of the
delayed planting season by shifting
more of their acreage from wheat to
flax. Flax planting may be contn-
ued until June | and even later if
conditions warrant.

BOXING MATCHPOST-
PONED TO SATURDAY

Because of the rain prevailing
Tuesday night and the condition of
the roads which were almost impass-
able, it was decided to postpone The
boxing bill at the Farmer-Labor Tenn
pie until Saturday night.
Rain checks were issued to a goodly
number of the fans who had braved
the elements to attend the match, and
the boxers put on 2 three-round exhi-
bitions which showed what the fans
might expect when they meet their
regular opponents.
Earl Wynne of Minot and Bill Gar
ner of Raymond went on first and
to say that they delighted the crowd
would be too little to say. Even the
referee was not left out of the rapid
exchange of drawn blows. Both
young men showed up good and the
audience of about 200 people will not
miss the go Saturday night if they
have to come on crutches.
Nels Moe and McGinty then went
ON for three rounds and while the
bout was somewhat slower than the
first one it was punctuated with
heavier fighting and the crowd got
quite kick out of the sparring which
came very near to what would be
called real battle.
The rest of the card did not go on,
but from the exhibition given Tues
day night, the fans are going to wit
ness the battles of their lives when
the pugs meet Saturday evening.
The fans present are spreading the
news like wildfire not to miss the
big battle the 21st if one doesn't wish
to be sorry the rest of his life.
No doubt the hall will be crowded
to capacity if the weather man de-
cides on fair weather for that date, as
people will come from long distances
to see as clever men in the ring as
can be witnessed in the big cities of
the east.
The bouts commence at 500 o'clock
sharp in order to clear the hall for
the dance which will follow given by
the Sons of Norway.
