-for flax, made the publle -offer ef
an alternate building and power
site, a little farther out. that the
association ran develop very read
lly. bo that whatever might hap
pen to the present mill and power
site, .the new flax industry can
have an excellent home.
Some interesting : statistics on
flax growing in ; the Aumsville
section . were presented. ' ; A. E.
Bradley, who said that ; he had
lost $5000 in cash that he
brought tofAnnsvtlle,. in grain
farming, took up flax, five years
ago, and has made . his farm pay
big money since. Ilia crop last
year paid him inore than. $8,00 0W
or $S3 an acre. H. C. Porter and
D. F.I Eastbury, both of Aumsvilr
made f HQ , and $140 an acre, re
spectively, from their flax fields.
As it, Is absolutely tcertain, front
general reports of grain farmers
all over the valley, that the aver
age gram grower, not only made
no profit, but actually lost money
on irraln- for the past two years,
some road out is imperative it
farm bankruptcy Is to be avoided.
. - This flax road is the long
sought way, according to the es
timate of practically, every, good
farmer who has tried It. and many
of whom were represented at the
Aumsville and Rlekreall meetings.
It was shown that fair average
sales price would be from $75 to
15 3 an acre, with the flax pull
ing to cost from $1S to $25 an
acra by contract.. . ,. -

from $15 to $20 aa acre, was not
salable while the flax baa sold
for several times that much money
and the growers bare the coin n
their pockets. -
A. Arstill. of Dallas, chairman
ef the meeting, will have 10 miles
to deliver hie flax,' bat contracted,
to grow several acres for delivery
to Rickreali. Mrs, . Harris of Sa
lem, who said that' the had no
land to contract for said that she
believed her ; woman's ? intuition
waa good in pointing the way for
encouraging the flax industry, and
she subscribed for a membership.
Her husband, whose lands were
all under rental contract, brought
in two renters to sign up, and
agreed to par their memberships
to start the organization. The au
dience cheered the two. practical
enthusiasts.
' The general plan of financing
the building of mills, is to ask for
a stock subscription of $10 .an
acre for five years, for each acre
under contract. This to be taken
from the sale price of the flax
grown and delivered, and stock
to he Issued la the mill industry.
These plants in Canada there
are none in the United States, and
practically no flax fibre Industry
of any kind except the growing of
seed have been paying from 2 5
to 35 per cent a year, making
them excellent investments. It is
proposed, however, to limit the
dividends of preferred stock to 8
per cent, and of common stock to
10 per cent, the common stock to
apportion ill profits above 10 per
cent to tbe growers in the ratio of
their flax production. This pats
a fine additional premium on the
production of bumper crops. The
common and preferred stock will
be Issued in equal amounts.
..An. interesting- exhibit was made
by Robert Crawford, former su.
pertn tendent of . the state flax
plant at the penitentiary, of the

samples of frost injury; but most

and make good yields, m case the

Use of Manure on Farms is
Advocated In Address to
Rotary Club
Members of the Rotary club
were given an interesting talk yes
terday on the business side of
farming and especially what it
means to a community if farms
are properly fertiliied. The ad
dress was delivered by Charles R.
Archerd, and he chose for the sub
ject of his talk, "The Manure
Spreader."
"The manure spreader," Mr.
Archerd said, "means improved
farming methods and this means
better crops. In the olden days,
the work was done by means of
a wagon acd pitchfork. The ma
nure was plowed under and thus
fully half the real benefit of fer
tilising was lost.
"The invention of the, fast re
volving cylinder for spreading ma
nure is of the greatest benefit to
farmers. The average spreader Js
made with, an attachment for
spreading eight feet
"The patented manure spreader
enables the farmer to build up his
land, as the manure can be spread
on lightly where the soil needs but
little fertilizing.1 and thick where
the soil is light, A 10-year-old
boy can operate a spreader. 1
"I have sold in my lifetime fully
5,000 'spreaders, and I have never
lost a cent on a farmer who
bought one. Manure is onekot the
most valuable of the farm.!' It
should be placed In a shed with a
concrete foundation or floor."
Grover Hlllman spoke to: the
Rotarians on his recent visit, In

tbonrh olaintitrs witnesses had
claimed that the car was making
over 50 miles when it crasnea into
the Ford car in which the Ramp
oartv was tiding.
Except for a few minutes of re
buttal for the plaintiffs, yesterday
was Riven over to presentation 01
the defense. E. G. Osborne was
the DrinciDal witness and testified
that he bad purchased the big
Pierce-Arrow car from Homer
Ross of JdcMinnville, a few hours
before the accident The purchase
was made by, telephone and fol
lowed Osborne's unsuccessful ef
forts to sell the car, be said.

Osborne also claimed that be
hid been dismissed from the em
ploy of the Oregon Rubber com
pany a very short time prior to the
accident. Mr. Ross and the Ore
gon Rubber company- are named
as codelendanta.
During tbe afternoon, the de
fense attempted to establish an
allegation that Osborne's car had
been recently repaired and that it
was Incapable of making any high
rate of speed.
In addition to Westover, the
defense presented three other wit
nesses who said that the car ac
cording to actual experience Iron
riding in it and -from Osborre's
claims was capable of; a high
speed. 1
Judge E. C. Kirkpatrlck of
Dallas testified that Osborne had
endeavored to sell the car td him
ana, naa asserted mat it was
"speedy" and could make from CO
ty 70 miles, an hour. ,
) Sensation Offered
One witness said that he had
been a passenger in the big car
and that it had attained "at least
a 40-mile gaif." During the trial
it was shown that the car carried
dealers' license plates and was
not equipped with a, speedometer.
A sensation was provided when
Mrs. Margaret Raymond, of Port
land, a defense witness, was call
ed. Mrs. Raymond's testimony
puzzled attorneys and , spectators
as she claims that she had wit
nessed the clash but had noticed
only two machines in the vicinity
of the wreck, although other de
fense witnesses had claimed that
several cars had occupied the im
mediate vicinity. Mrs. Ravmond
was the only witness to claim that
both cars were proceeding at the
same rate, previous testimony on
this point being that the Ramp
car was progressing across s the
highway at about 15 miles 1 an
hour. :. 1
W. s. Hicks of Woodburn stated
for the defense that heJhad been
driving from Salem at 6 p. mi. on
the day of the accident following
a visit to the home of Grover

CHICAGO, Jan. ,lli Alexan
der Hamilton bequeathed to his
country a great heritage irhen he
said 'the aggregate prqeperity of
manufacturers and the Jaaxregate
prosperity of agriculture are in
timately connected," ice Presi

ebration of the birth ot the great
statesman. ,
"Products of agriculture are
consumed by the industrial popu
lation." he said. "They are the

perous state of agriculture is the
foundation of ail national pros
perity. The manufacturer must
look to the farmer, no 'oply for
his supply of food, but for ' the
sale" of his commodities."
