FLUX PULLER IS ESS Joe A. Bartosz Has Invention That Will Revolutionize Industry HAND WORK ELIMINATED Demonstration Put Ori In Presence of Witnesses In Turner Vicinity For four thousand years the world has been waiting for a me chanical device for pulling flax or since before the dawn of his- tory for the making of "fine j linens" dates bacK Deiore the be ginning of civilization; fine linens fashioned from the fibre of the flax plant. But the patient waiting is about at an end, and the credit is due to a Marlon county man. Joe A. Bartosz, whose farm is a mile south of Turner, has for a long time been working on a flax pulling machine, and lie has about perfected it, H. O. Tenney. secretary and manager of the Multnomah Iron works, Portland, has taken a half interest in the invention, for which a patent has been applied, and Mr. Tenney has been working with Mr. Bartosz. From time immemorial the pul ling of flax has been a laborious and an expensive process. The work has always been done by hand, the world over, Successful Demonstration But the time is here when there will be a change in this respect. Mr. Tenney and his wife t-pent some time in Salem and Turner in the early sart of Augtst, and some private experiments were made with the flax pulling ma chine at that time. Those experi ments convinced both Mr. Tenney and Mr. Bartosz that they had the right principal that they had the working out ot a machine that would pull flax and do the work as well as it could be done by hand. After the experiments made then, Mr. Tenney returned to Portland and went to work on o me improvements that they saw were necessary to be made in the device that does the pulling. Mr. Tenney and his wife are back at Turner now, and a demon stration was made yesterday aft ernoon, in the presence of Robert Crawford, superintendent of the penitentiary flax plant. E. J. Han pett. of the Turner flax mill, a Statesman representative and 1 others. . Mr. Bartosz is a flax grower, and he had left a small plat of flux standing in the field for the ex periment. The machine actually pulls the flax, and delivers it in bundles in as good shape as it can be done b) hand. The Principle Employed The Statesman reporter is no mechanic, therefore is not able to give the workings of the machine in technical terms. But the prin ciple employed is the use of soft rubber rollers that are half round. These are placed on an ordinary self binder, and they occupy the place of the sickle used in cutting grain. They are run by a small gasoline engine placed on the back part of the self binder, the poSver from which runs the rollers as the machine is drawn by horses. The rollers pull the flax, and they de liver It like the.cutting device of the binder; and the rest of the process, of putting the flax into bundles and throwing the bundles onto the ground is the same as is used in grain cutting and that is familiar to all who have ever seen a self binder run. The device for pulling ran br NEW TODAY . SUGG LAKE THE GBMTER CLAIM A drama of that in life which is more powerful than passion, and which is finer even than love On Account A Dandy Comedy LIBERTY FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 9. 1921 used on any binder. The one era ployed yesterday was an old binder. There will of course follow some improvements yet to be made, such as the protection of the gears so as to keep them from being clogged by gravel or dirt But a machine will be ready to help In the pulling of the flax of this district next year; perhaps several. After next year, no doubt .they will be turned out in commercial numbers and they ' will revolu tionize this expensive part of the flax Industry. They will enable America to compete with Russia, or any other country with its cheap hand labor. This is one more step towards the centralizing of the linen indus try of the United States, and of the world, in the Salem district. inere are several more steps now being taken in this respect, concerning which The Statesman will lake great deliht In inform. ing the reading public within the next few days. Has To Be Pulled Flax, to make first grade fibre, has to be pulled. It cannot be rut Even though producing a long ti ara, tne cutting allows a dry rot ana an injury to the fibre. And the pulling has to be gentle. Oth t iso, me imre is injured, it win not stand rough treatment. The. newiy invented machine is gentle. It does the work as gently as a woman would pull the flax. And it does It as fast as a self binder can cut grain. Each machine will replace a large force of men and women In the flax fields at pulling i BITS FOR BREAKFAST I 4 Weather man says Tair. S This is interesting to the hop- picKers. S The Bartosz flax puller actually pulls flax. And so the Salem cistrlct. the future greatest linen district, and hemp district, of the world. is furnishing the invention- that will revolutionize the harvesting of flax and hemp. S "W It will do the work at a lower cost than it can be done by the cheap labor of Russia and other cheap labor countries. S S The new machine will pull the flax as fast as grain can be cut with a self binder. And it will pull it gently, without injury to the delicate fiber contained in the straw. S S Now, if Mr. Bartosz will get busy with a scutcher, and make the same proportionate saving, and other inventions can be per fected along down the line, linen will one day be as cheap as cot ton and it is about seven times as durable. Earl Race, city recorder, who acts as employment agent for this whole section, on the missionary basis, without pay, says he Is just about holding his own now; sending out about all who come. He has sent hundreds to the hop fields; sending them now to the prune orchards; will be sending them soon to the loganberry fields, to train the vines.
