for 10 ton of unheckled flax should
be accepted was under discussion.
The offer was made by the Callfor-
nia Cotton Mills company of Oakland.
' Governor Wlthycombe and State Treas-
11 Knv van fnvnrahlv Inclined to-
ward the offer, which would bring; in
15.000 for one-third of the flax crop
of this year, it was estimated. Olcott
find Superintendent Crawford, of flax
operations, were opposed.
It was ueclded to have tow ma
chines built and clean up a lot of the
flax crop of last year which is worth
about three cents per pound In its pres
' ejt condition. Cleaned, it will bring
seven cents per pound.
Superintendent Crawford said that
the work of retting would be under
way tomorrow. He was urged to hasten
the work by Governor Wlthycombe,

two months had gone by and none of
the flax had been placed in the field.
It was explained that convict labor
was not then available for retting
woris.
"Don't count chickens before they
' are hatched," said the governor, when
the board was figuring; how much the
product should bring. "We counted
them last year and they did not turn
out very well."
