Flax Raising
Encouraged
GOOD RESULTS WITH
CROP IN DRY YEARS
REPORTED HERE

Declaring the soil depicting
qualities of fax are greatly ex-
aggerated and recommending the
crop be fitted in farm rotation
systems to supply a national
market now largely supplied by
imports, Albert Hoversten OF
Clarkield visited the county last
week and interviewed several
fax raisers on their experiences.
Following are his reports on
two interviews:
My experience with growing
fax the last few years has been
somewhat satisfactory. We have
had some very dry years, so
moisture has been none too much
for our farm crops. have found
fax to be able to stand more
drouth than some grain crops. In
1896 I found some fax plants
having a root system extending
10 inches into the ground. !
have had a good return of fax
per acre in these dry years.
In 1887 I doubled disked a
cornstalk field and narrowed it
once before seeding. This seed
was put on the ground with a
broadcast seeder and nicely COW
cred with a harrow afterwards.
In broadcasting the seed I pre-
fer one bushel and one peck per
acre but with a drill I'd sow one
buShel.
Flax has now been put into my
crop rotation system, such as;
first year corn, second year flax
and wheat, third year oats,
fourth year rye. My last years
% acres of fax produced 16
bushels per acre of fairly clean
fax, only 6 to per cent dockage.
I seed the fax as early as posi-
BILE or just after the seeding of
wheat. I also find fax to do best
on fairly high ground. I believe
the prospects are good for fax
this year. &C. H. Hilbert.
Flax has proved satisfactory
on my farm and has now been
adopted into the crop rotation
system. In the spring of 1887 l
worked up a field with the tractor
disc, which had produced a crop
of corn in 1886. After having
prepared the seed bed for flax
real well, 1 seeded this field to
fax just after I had seeded the
wheat as 1 believe that fax
should be put in the ground as
early as possible in order to OBJ
tain best crop yield. The fax
was seeded at the rate of one
bushel per acre using an endgate
seeder and following the seeder
with light discing and harrow
ing so as to nicely cover the
seed.
The rotation that I follow as
much as possible is: first year,
corn; second year, fax; third
year, corn; fourth year, grain
(wheat, oats or barley; fifth
year, corn or grain with alfalfa.
l have followed the crop rotation
plan for several years and 1 find
that fax fits into the rotation
very well. In 1885 the flax yield
ed IL bushels per acre and again
in 1886 and 1887 Is bushels per
acre of good quality fax with
about four per cent dockage.
The prospects for fax this year
are good as 1 see it and the fax
acreage on my farm will be
somewhat increased, to approx
mately 100 acres. &C. P.

State Ruling
TAXPAYERS GROUP TO
CARRY FIGHT INTO
COUNTY CAMPAIGN

Protesting failure of the Red
wood county commissioners to
publish relief expenditures, a
group of about 40 men from
throughout the county appeared
before the board Tuesday after
noon.
As president of the Redwood
County Taxpayers association, D.
L. Crimmins headed the delega-
ton and told the board he has
received over 100 letters request
ing him to demand publication of
relief bills.
"Since the publication of re-
lief bills has been suspended, sew
eral people have taken advant-
age of the fact and gone on re-
lief" he asserted. "We contend
that it is taxation without repre-
sentation."
1T is the general opinion that
you are spending the taxpayers
money and not willing to make
a public accounting of expendi-
lures, but are perfectly willing to
publish the names of those per-
sons whose taxes become delin-
quent," he declared.

A. Barnes explained that the well

relief expenditures here is pro-

Sidney Alexander
Wins Sub-District

Sidney Alexander, who repre-
sented Redwood Falls in the state
declamatory contest last year, won
first place in oratory Wednesday
night in the sub-district meet at
Echo. His selection is 'sThe I'M
finished World.
Arlene Waller, reciting sThe
Incorrigible", was given second
place in dramatics.
Second place in oratory went to
August Hotter of Delhi High
school and first place in dramatics
was won by Evelyn Fesenmaier of
Morton. In the humorous division
Dorothy Schroeder of Echo won
first honors, and Ed Hassinger of
Morton placed second.

hibited from publishing relief
lists by a ruling of state Comp
troller E. j. Pearlove, effective
january l, 1888 and by an act of
the 1887 legislature, Crimmins
demanded, "Are we living in
Germany or Italy? Somebody is
debating to the board to the point
where you seem to have little to
say about county relief policies"
He further asserted that it APP
peared some of the state higher
ups 'are trying to cover up"
CrimminS stated that he did
not believe there was man in
the delegation who was unwilling
to have his money spent on any
one particularly needing it, but
that when relief clients are seen
sitting around saloons and thea
tres, taxpayers feel they are buy
ing the booze and theatre tickets.
The taxpayers association has
employed counsel to look up the
state law on the publishing ques-
ton.
If there is one which binds
Redwood county, we will certain
ly organize and ask the next leg
lslature to change it." they prom
ised.
The commissioners expressed
themselves as willing to order
publication of relief bills if shown
that they are not bound by the
law or ruling.
After meeting with the conn
missioners the group decided to
hold a countrywide mass meeting
before election at which six re-
representatives. of each commission
er district would be chosen to
canvass candidates for election,
regardless of party utilization, to
determine their attitude on the
matter.

Farm Office
Prepares for
NewProgram
GOALS, PROCEDURE TO
BE OUTLINED AT
WINDOW MEETING

Goals and procedure for con-
Quoting the 1888 soil conservation
program will be outlined at a dis
trict meeting in Window Friday.
County Agent J. 1. Swedberg and
George Claussen, Anton johann
neck and Martin Sandager of the
county conservation committee,
will attend.
At present the Redwood county
office is preparing to get crop
histories covering every farm in
the county, operators of which did
not participate in the 1886 or 1887
programs.
The histories are necessary in
establishing equitable goals for
each farm in the county. Goals
must be established for everyone,
whether or not the occupants are
participating as the total county
goal must be distributed among
all farms.
While information on the new
Set-up is still meagre, local soil
conservation officials say that the
new plan will absorb the 1888 soil
program and utilize the soil con-
Servation organization. That
means the present officers and
committees will carry on and that
a soil conservation plan will go
into effect as previously planned,
although there may be changes in
acreage quotas.
Redwood county is one of $50
such counties in II midwestern
states that are included in the
commercial corn producing area.
According to the best information
available, these counties will not
only be subject to acreage hmita-
ton under soil conservation prac-
tees but may have to take a
marke ing quota if a surplus is
indicated by August. Marketing
quotas will not be invoked, how
ever, unless two-thirds of the
farmers in the program vote for
it. .. a..
Reports from Washington in
dictate that if the crop is over
$500, 100000 bushels, farmers will
be called upon to decide whether
marketing quotas will be estab-
liShed.
If marketing quotas are invok-
ed, it will be necessary for farm
ers in the program to seal an
amount of corn to be fixed by the
secretary of agriculture, this to be
marketed at times specified by the
secretary.
This will be the closest ap-
proach yet reached to the ever
normal granary plan.
Local conservation officials
pointed out, however, that from
the information available so far,
the new plan looks as liberal to
farmers or more so than those
that have gone before. They adj
vised against snap judgments of
the plan until full provisions are
known.
Compliance papers under the
1887 soil conservation program
have gone to the state office and
as soon as the compilation of pay
mentS has been made, meetings
will be held throughout Redwood
county to enable eligible persons
to make their formal applications
for payment. -
