anyone to ignore the habit of early
blooming of the imported Indian
flax. 1t blooms anywhere from two
to three months after being plant
ed. Planted from mid-October to
mid-NoVember records show that it
would be in bloom by late Decem-
ber or mid-January. AS normal
valley winters seasons show frost
mid-November to mid February this
early blooming Of the imported In
dian flax would endanger the bloom
and the setting of pods, or, if in
green pod, the fruit itself would
have a good chance Of being des-
troyed by severe frost.
1 advise against planting of this
imported Indian stock Of seed, un-
til tests over period of years indi-
cate conclusively that it is adapt
ed to normal valley winters. Those
growers who insist on planting it
should understand that the period
between seeding and blooming is
about 10 weeks. Planting of this
imported stock cf seed (as yet it is
unknown as to variety or purity
should not be done before mid
December in order to throw the
bloom period in late February or
in March. What sort of yield will
result in a normal year no one
knows. My records show that un-
der similar soil, planting and grow
ing conditions acclimatized Imper-
ial Valley Punjab outyields it
While the best planting period fo1
the Valley Puniab variety is from
mid-November, the Indian imported
should not be planted before mid
December which, of course, throws
it a bit late and therefore liable to
make a lighter crop.
In advising against the use OF
untried flaXseed, like this Indian
stock, 1 have in mind the many
promising lots o. flaXseed tested at
the Meloland station, which turned
out to be less satisfactory than our
Imperial Valley Purjab for the val
ley, for various reasons.
Would Apoid Mistake
The logical and sane thing to Go
is to have thorough planting tests
made with this Indian imported
stock at the experiment farm, get

Local Team, Splits
TlUo Coast Games

Ell Centro All-Stars and the
Hofbrau team OF San Diego played
two games on Sports Field in the
coast city over the weekend, the
locals taking the game Saturday
night by a 1916 count while the
San Diegans captured last nights

feature of this game was a triple

sacks loaded which scored the
three runs.
Joe Hurst and r. Forshey form
ed the local battery for Saturdays

did the honors for the All Stars
last night. Capacity crowds wit
messed both games.
This leaves the Hofbraus and All
Stars still even in their contests.
Two weeks ago they split a twin

growers pretty generally follow
what worked out and proved to
be the best practise.
Why give up seed that has been
consistent since 1927 for a seed that
is questionable? There are hazards
enough in agriculture without lay
ing yourself open to additional
ones.
I am greatly concerned to see
flaXseed culture prosper in the I'm
perial Valley,-which is my excuse
for burdening you with this seed
business.
Best personal regards, and TO all
my friends down there.

own this winter after I get the crop
in. The company producers Cot
ton Oil Co., Fresno) is figuring on
having several built this year for
taking care of their crop next
spring. The part built this year
worked so well I'm convinced my
idea for a complete machine would
work much better. My idea fer
the remainder of the machine is
along conventional lines, but would
give much greater screening capa-
city, and would put out a seed that
would run about SO or 80 pcr cent
clean. There IS no cracked or
ground seed at all.'

WEETH ADVISES FLAX GROWERS
AGAINST USE OF INDIAN SEED

Argyle McLachlan, secretary
treasurer of the Southwest Flax
seed association, has received the
following letter from Waldo w.
Weeth, formerly in charge of the
| experimental station at Meloland,
and largely instrumental in inspir-
ing the start of flax-raising in the
valley.
Alb West Elm ST., Hanford, Calf.
August 6, 1884
Mr.. Argyle McLachlan, Sec 'y.-Treas.
Southwest Fl5yseed Association,
9l5 Heber Ave. Calexico Calf,
Dear Mack
note from your letter that you
think some growers may plant seed
this fall from the Indian flaxseed
imported last year by Mr.. Barlow.
l still stand by the statement I
gave the papers before I left the
valley. 1t is a mistake to fool with
a seed that has not been thorough
ly proved to fit valley conditions.
Especially when they have seed
that has been tested over a series
of years and found to be a variety
that meets conditions. Tests should
be made of this Indian seed at the
experiment farm at Meloland. The
good yields from some paintings of
the Indian imported seed may be
quite misleading due to the abnor-
NAL seasonal conditions of last
winter. Tests at the Meloland farm
for a couple or three years may
show this stock of seed to be good,
or BAD. 1t would seem lack of
good judgment for any grower to
take the chance of a severe loss
from planting his entire crop to a
sort of seed that is not proved
adapted to normal winters of the
valley especially when good seed
of the Imperial Valley Punjab var
iety, already acclimatized an d
thoroughly proved, is available for
planting.
Issues Warning
However, if. as you think, some
of this imported Indian seed will
be planted this fall l believe some
further warning should be given
about its early blooming which
makes it susceptible to frost dam
age. 1t would be most unwise for

PARTY HONORS
DEAD ACTRESS

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 13 U.P)-
A memorial party honoring
Lilyan Tashman, screen actress
who died last March, at which all
photographs and pictures except
one of the star were banished, was
attended by more than 60 persons
at the beach home of her widower,
Edmund Lowe, actor, it was re-

Guests of honor at the "partyn
were Mrs Kate Murphy and Mrs.
Mary Rennie, both of San Jose,
aunts of the actor Lowe explain-
ed the affair had been planned by
Miss Tashman before her death,
but was necessarily called off by
her final illness.
The so screen notables were en-
tertained in the spacious living
room of the beach home. A single
large photograph Of the dead act
ress adorned the otherwise bare
walls of the home.

it cleaned up. and if it proves bet
ter than any other variety, in
crease the seed and use it: but not
until it has been proved the best
flaxseed adapted to the valley in
every way.
My whole purpose in suggesting
further discussion of this Indian
imported seed business is to try to
keep the flaxseed growers in the
valley from making what clearly
would be a grave mistake.
In plant breeding, horticulture,
etc. California is supposed to be the
most enlightened state in the I'm
ion. CelAainly citizens of the state
who fail to follow the findings of
their own employees at experiment
farms do not reflect this general
enlightenment. Acclimatization of
an imported seed is usually neces-
sary before general use. Pure
stocks of seed are of vital import
ance. Freedom from noxious weeds
is elementary. The solving of prob
lens of time Of planting, rate of
seeding, methods of planting. etc.
are necessary agricultural steps to
be taken by experiment with new
plants. When these important
problems have been worked out ov-
er a period of 10 years, as in the
case of the Punjab flax,s and the
seed is handed over to the growers
for commercial use, it seems a great
waste of effort and expense if the
ax-payers, who pay for these find
lngs, fail to make use of them.
Personally I shall feel that the
ime spent in the valley putting
ny heart and soul into fostering
his flaxseed industry on the basis
If seed I know to be adapted to the
conditions has heen lost, unless
