Committee Goes TO
Bat for Flax Loans
Continued from Page One

justified, and expressed the hope
that a definite commitment guar
anteeing Sl.85 per bushel at Los
Angeles would be forthcoming il
plenty of time to allay all fears
before harvest begins next May.
The s1.85 figure is the present
loan value of valley flax, based or
IS per cent of parity, which at pres
ent is S2l8 per bushel.
Ordinarily, announcement of the
loan is not made until June, which
is too late to aid valley growers.
That date gives growers in other
sections ample time to obtain a clear
picture of the market, however, for
harvest in those sections usually
does not begin until September.
At present the flax loans are TIED
up with wheat, and it has been the
practise of the department of agri-
culture to delay approval of flax
loans until all pertinent figures on
the wheat crop are in.
However, due to the anxiety OF
valley flax growers this year, Hawks
committee is pressing TO have flay
divorced from wheat, SO far as the
valley is concerned, 10 enable the
department of agriculture to ac,
earlier than usual in the matter of
making loans available here.
