BIG INCREASE IN FLAX
NEEDED IN MINNESOTA

Minnesota's fax acreage could be
increased in 1880 to at least a mill
ion acres with profit both to the pro-
ducers and to manufacturers and
users of linseed oil in the Northwest,
says A. C. Army, agronomist, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul. This in
crease would represent rs per cent
increase over the area grown in
1926, when Minnesota produced it's
banner crop of $4,000 acres. The
added 100000 acres of flax might
well replace that amount of spring
wheat and oats, of which there has
been a serious overproduction for
number of years, Mr.. Army explains.
'The present position of the fax
crop in the Northwest is exception
al" according to Mr.. Army, Gin that
flax has been a payir,; cash crop
over period of years and still only
about half the amount needed is
produced. All who have given this
matter careful thought regret to see
approximately 10000 900 bushels of
flax seed purchased annually from
other countries, when this country
who are producing a surplus OF
spring wheat"
Minnesota's flax acreage, which in
1926 was $4,000 acres, dropped off
slightly in 1927 and 1928, but fell off
greatly last year when only $4,000
acres were grown. This large reduc-
ton was due to the low yields of
flax in 1928 in west central and
southwestern Minnesota because of
flax rust. The reduction in these two
sections in 1929 was 10000 acres.
The 1928 fax rust epidemic was the
first serious one the state has ever
experienced, Mr.. Arm says, and need
never occur again providing the seed
of rust resistant varieties such as
Buda, Bison and Redwing are used.
Seed of Buda and Bison is already
available in quality, and seed of
Redwing is being increased for wide
distribution in 1881.

BANKS OF MORGAN
MET LAST WEEK
State and Farmers and Mer-
chants Banks Hold Annual
Meeting

At the annual meeting of the State
Bank of Morgan held last Wednesday,
the stockholders expressed their COM
plete satisfaction with the affairs of
the bank and the progress made the
past year. A satisfactory dividend
was voted and reserve funds were set
aside in the several funds.
The board of directors were re-
elected as follows: F. J. Reidl, John
Welter, Nels Jensen, Edw. Nelson
and G. M. Davis. The present offic-
ers were reelected by the board,
namely, G. M. Davis, president; w. P.
Netzke, cashier; Geo. Nelson and N.
j. Hansen, assistant cashiers.
Among the important business
transacted at the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank held at the
city hall, was the reelection of the
old board of directors. The substan-
tial gain which the institution has
made the past year was favorable
commented upon.
Directors reelected were E. H. AL
brecht, N. F. Nielsen, A. j. Tauer,
c. L. Albrecht, F. w. Zaske, F. w.
Penning and H. H. Offermann. 1t
was decided to postponed the organ
ization meeting of the directors for
a few days so that all might attend,
N. P. Nielsen and H. H. Offermann
being unable to be there.

least one ace; but the question is.
which ace is it most likely to be? 1t
certainly isn't the trump ace for Y and
must, one or the other, have this
card to justify their bid. If they haven't,
the contract is defeated so why bother3
The real question then is, which of
the remaining three aces does B hold?
In bidding for Is tricks Y and z an
nounced very clearly that they have
all of the hearts and a long set-up suit.
OF their short suits, they should be
either void suits or singletons = aces
or otherwise. In other words, their los
ing tricks, if they have any, must be
in their short suits. For that reason, the
singleton club should not be led for the
club suit is probably their long set-up
suit.
This elimination reduces the uues-
ton to choice between diamonds and
spades, and the fact that the spade
suit is the longer should decide the
question in favor of spade lead. AS
spade length makes it almost certain
that either Y or Z, or perhaps both, is
short of that suit and taking chance
that the partner has the ace. With any
suit of two or more, either Y or L must
have the ace. For those very good
reasons the proper lead with the fore
going hand is the seven of spades. As
matter of fact, the spade lead saved
contract and was made by player
who afterwards gave his reason for the
lead somewhat as above. 1t is a good
hand ard should give Auction and Con-
tract Dlayers alike some cocd ideas IA
toproper leads and the reasons for them.

PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM

The construction work in town and

missed as of no Importance the
charge that the j. G. White Com

for granted, however, that the

camp of the British imperialists
who have been worsted so far in
the struggle with American imper-

That these charges, made by a
