ATTENTION A
FLAX GROWERS

Local sampling and grading of
bulk deliveries of flaxseed, organ
lied by the Board of Directors of
Southwest FlaXseed Association in
1912, has provided an invaluable and
necessary service TO the Association
members since 1t has become so
difficult and expensive to secure
bags for shipping our flaxseed.
This service includes the weigh
ing of the individual. small load
and the taking of a representative
sample from the load at the local
dumping point. The flax is then
delivered into large bins and later
shipped to mill in a car along with
loads from numerous other growers.
The sample from the individual
load is graded locally for dockage
b. state graders and the net bushels
are booked and settled for to the
grower. load by load If he wishes,
the grower can see the sample taken
from his load; also can see the ac-
tual work of grading his sample
which is kept on file in the office
for 30 days. The local Federally
licensed graders submit samples to
the Federal Grain Supervisor in
Los Angeles for a check-up on the
grading done by them in the Val
ley.
The mixed bulk car, containing
numerous loads of different dock
age grade, is sampled and graded
at destination and the Association
office is paid for the net bushels
in the car In order for grading
here and in Los Angeles TO be ac-
curate the grade of car load must
be the average grade of the small
local loads going into the car. That
the Los Angeles grade is the aver
age of the local grades was proved
In the 1912 season wnen the varia-
ton between local and destination
grades was very small fraction
OF e on total shipments. In the
check that Is kept this season on
this system of delivery 80 cars, on
which local bushelage records were
completed and which netted over
$500 bushels at delivery points in
Los Angeles territory, showed total
variation OF is bushels-less than
one-half C,s) bushel TO each car
load OF 1900 bushels, as between
local grades and destination grades.
This Is gratifyingly low percent
age ano is OF great practical i'm
portance since bulk shipments made

The discussion for the vening was
very ably lead by Mr.. S. w. Mil

for the success of the meeting. The
topic discussed was on how we,
as a group, may act as an incen-
tive toward better race relation
ship, by knowing eur rights and
privileges.
1t was pointed out by Rev Will
cher, thatif each of US us would
explain what we expected, or what
we considered our rights and priv
ilgeSes when we accepted posi-
ton, from the dish washer to the
professional or business man, that
we could act as an educator to-
ward better relationship among
the races. Miss Pilot, of M. CAL
vary, gave us illustrations of how
friends among the races can be Gull
tivated, and Mrs Hubert, always
charming, told of the proposed In
ter-Racial Meeting to be held the
second Sunday in February and
that that meeting will be held with
the Adult Fellowship group
Everyone is cordially invited to
attend these meetings which are
held each Second and Fourth Sun

that such meetings and discussions
will help solve some of our social

be of benefit to anyone who at
tends.

Draft Board Must
Have Right
Information

All employers, including FAR
MERS, are urged to give the local
selective service board any and all
information concerning the job the
man is doing NOW. If all en-
ployers will survey their manpow-
er now and inform the local board
about the men employed between
IS and 38, then local boards will
all advbise the employer if the
man is reclassified at any time.
Colonel L. w. Long, state direc-
tor of selective service, stated that
many employers are furnishing the
local board with information the
day before the man leaves for the
induction station. The local board
is powerless to act after the order
for induction has been issued,
which is always issued ten days
prior to induction. 1t is wise for
each employer to analyze and sur
vey his workers now-then advise
the local board about the job of
every man between Is and 38
years of age. This may be done
by a sworn statement, but forms
are available at the local board if
desired.
