1899 Flax Crop Nets $1>200>000
Valley Growers
Harvest $4,000
Acres, Set Record

Imperial county harvested
$4,000 acres of flax during
the 1889 season, reaped an
average Of lS bushels to the
acre and netted growers an
estimated sl,200,00O, Argyle Nc
Lachlan. secretary of the South
west Flaxseed Association said in
an interview Saturday.
The average yield of 18 bushels
to the acre was lower than last
years record of a % bushel acre
age, McLachlan said, but the yield
was outstanding nevertheless be-
cause the acreage of flax was four
times as s.great.
The valleys best yield was SO
bushels to the acre on So acre
plot belonging to Pete Bonford. The
53-bushel yield established a new
worlds record the previous record
being held by Keith Nets OF Holt
vile Nets record yield was slight
ly above 46 bushels.
McLachlan stressed the advisa-
bility of raising flax on good land
and pointed to several plots which
yielded only 10 bushels to the acre
on poor land. Flax properly farmed
on average valley land will produce
80 bushels to the acre, the associa-
ton secretary declared
Weed control was listed as an
other important factor in assuring
good yields and McLachlan re-
ported that results from expert
ments in "a inch row paintings may
solve the weed problem another
year
Increase or decrease In the flax
acreage next season viii depend
upon the market, the secretary
said, Ii prices rise slightly or re-
main steady throughout the pres
ent season there will be another
flax acreage increase. Otherwise
there may be a drop.

Flax Screenings TO
Be Used in New
Feed for Stock

Flax straw became the first flax
by-product To increase an annual

when the Central Fibre corporation
pushed an experiment to test the
value of flax fibre in the manufac-
ture of paper.
Now the southwest flaxseed asso-
citation Is carrying out an expert
ment 10 use screening from flax
as a feed for livestock.
In the flax screenings there is
a percentage of wild oats. wheat
barley and chaff. That mixture Of
fers feed consisting of l3 per cent
protein and l3 per cent fats, ac-
cording to Argyle McLachlan, asso-
citation secretary.
More than $50 tons of the feed
material has been ground at the
association plant in Imperial and
a comparatively large quantity has
been sold at $l6 per ton.
Feeders, particularly on the coast.
have welcomed the new feed, Nc
Lachlan said. and a market may be
created for sale of all the available
feed each year.
The feed can be mixed with hay,
the association secretary pointed
out, and animals will consume it
readily. Several carload orders have
already been received at Imperial
and some valley ranchers have ex-
perimented with the feed.
Widespread use of the feed will
increase the income to the flax
farmer from 81 to So per bushel.
