According to the system for this year, farmers are given only weight or ware house receipts. "When the final delivery of flax was- made by the farmers this year, we had received from the 1921 crop 1,791,340 poimds of flax, at a total cost of f 37,021. 53," said Warden Compton, who by virtue of his office, also Is su perintendent of the flax industry.

"When, the penitentiary was faced witli the obligation of ra ceiving and working up of the 1921 crop early last July, cash in the flax fund was entirelv delet ed, and, as a heroic' measure, we were compelled to drawmpon the betterment fund for sufficient money to pay current running ex penses from month to' month. -;Pay Money Not Available 'Not dollar was available to pay! any. Bhare of the money due to the farmers under contract for the 1921 "flax. There will be. no money available for that purpose until the present crop is worked f ap Into products and disposed of, , and at present market prices it is enUrely problematical as to I how much will be available when all Of the product is worked up and rold. All indications point to the fact that; sometime within the next year, market conditions mv return more nearly to "normal, iasing oar observations upon crop reports and general flax situation throughout the world. But, m the meantime, we are now com pelled toi sell, at low prices, a suf ficient amount of the pro.duct from time to time to continue to meet current ' expense. Without so doing, the flax plant would be compelled completely to disapntin ue. operations and the final dispo sition of jthe present crop be post poned indefinitely. Not Fibre Being Sold ? To sell, however, the output of fiber atj prevailing prices would compel its disposition at about one-third, former prices, a return of I not much more than? enough to (meet! the cost of mannfacture.

Told ;To- i understand intelligently h nrelent flax situation, the fi nanctel ! history - of the plant should be briefly recounted. A certified public.accountant was employed to go into such history (mm tha time of the plant's in stallation to March 31. 1931, tne date when it was turned over to the warden of the prison by tha board of control, as provided by law. Up to tbat time .aii. fca hAi nald for flax straw, seed i and similar expense to the farm- era. ' The cost of operation oi i" plant dnring that period had been and depreciaqon' was at S5.202.87. Total re ceipts frpm 'the sale of straw, seed ftird otner proancis uiu Sll50at.ll and the straw and seed on! hand at that time had an estimated Talue-of $21,488.81. ToUl cost of flax, operation and depreciation: amounted to W 7J5J82 las against total rate ipts anil products on hand of i shown as of March 81. 1921. . Ready Cash Negligible ""Consequently we were con fronted at the outset of this sea; son wiih a negligible amount o. cash' on hand. The growerswere called together by Governor Olcott and the aboard of control and the situaUori franky presented to them, j Notwithstanding the facts thus presented at this meeting as to the financial status of the flax '"dustrVJ th , erowers -continuea with the planting.' " " "By 'the time the Tarmers bad -.tftrorid'thft straw of their 1921 S3 was incurred, and with no money from which to meet our obligations, "We can"only meet these obli gations through the sals of pro ducts. These must be worked up at a continual monthly expense of $650 covering the payroll, "exclus ive of miscellaneous expenses wnTch will approximate $200 addi tional. ' i Time of Payment Uncertain j "By careful economical man agement, we hope to weather the financial stress and 'meet pay ments to the farmers as soon as possible, but how soon that will be I cannot, say. All depends up on market conditions and the suc cess we have in financing current exoenses. In the meantime thofce who have delivered flax to 'the prison must wait for their money. There is no other solution to1 the problem -as far as the prison is concerned. "The flax Industry is one mr several departments which are conducted at the prison. 1 aw anxious that every department be continued at the highest popsilile "tate of efficiency. It is further my wish that the flax growers re ceive every dollar coming to them tnder the terms of their contracts and I am bending every effort to .ii is ena. Governor Olcott several months ago informed me he would present the matter to the next regular legislative assembly with the recommendation that all claims, be paid in the event or our inability to dispose of our prod ucts at a satisfactory price. j "Operation Hand to. Month "It should be remembered that no appropriation or working cap ital has been furnished by the state other than the original $40 -000 of which about $12,000 was put: into the equipment of the plant, leaving approximately $28, 000 as working capital to finance its operations This was expend ed several years ago and since that time the plant has been op erating from hand to mouth, with out working capital, or further state appropriation for such capi tal.: .

He makes important : judgments. Washington will find him fig ure of mastery as ell as mys tery, j Trince Tokugawa might be called the outstanding popular figure ot the delegation. He puts himself out to talk to everybody. Before landing, when toll that many newspaier reporters would probably meet the boat at Vic- j toria, he said: "1 want to talk to all of them." In addition to collating auto graphs, he is a great story teller. His favorite anecdote revolves about an American friend, a per son who visited Japan some years ago. It was the American's first experience with the ricksha. When the ricksha man had pulled him to the railroad station to catch the train for Yokohama, the phy sician amazed at the man's en durance and speed, examined his pulse. It was boating fast. .The doctor turned to the station ag ent and asked: "How long do you think this mart will live"?" He had heard tht ;the ricksha pullers died at early ages from heart disease. The station agent misunder stood. He thought; the doctor wantad to know how long it would be before hid train would start, and answered; "About 15 minutes." j "The moral of my little story is plain enough,", went on Prince TOkuwaga, in his ; precise and pleasing English.
