HIGHER FLAX
YIELD FORECAST
BY MeLACHLAN

Higher yields and equally good
prices for flax growers of Imperial
county were predicted by Argyle
McLachlan, secretary Of the South
west Flaxseed association in a re-
port Friday.
The average yield in the valley
this season. McLachlan said, will
be slightly more than 20 bushels to
the acre. The increase in yield is
due to more careful growing and
the fact that the crop was planted
on more productive land this year.
Harvesting of flax in the valley
will begin early in May, according
to the association secretary, ten
days earlier than in normal years.
Growers in the county are max
ing plans to handle their flax dur
ing the harvest season.
The worm infestation which oc-
cured in some locations of the val
ley was halted by poison early
enough in the season to allow the
plant to recover from the effects.
Some growers ventured an opin-
ion that the worm damage was
beneficial since the plants with
main stem injuries have branched
profusely.
Flax plants in the valley are of
taller growth than last season be-
cause of the unusually warm win
ter according to McLachlan. Some
fields stand as high as 80 inches
Last year flax averaged only 1S
inches.
With taller growth and better
stands the straw will be more at
tractive to the fiber corporation
plant in FL Centro.
