Editor Statesman; v .
Mv attention rtjit 'riv called to an editorial aDDCarhlsr in
a recent issue of The Statesman' under the caption Overlooking
One of Best Bets." The editorial is based upon, the review of
Extension Bulletin '367, entitled "An Agricultural Program for
OrfSonVj as. it appeared in the Oregonian.The review of the
bulletin'although quite comprehensive,' did not include the; re
commendation on flax found -on page 96 "of "the bulletin and
reading as follows: "Flax growing offers great opportunities
in. the .Willamette valley and shows some promise in central
Oregon. A linseed oil mill in Portland imports practically all
of its raw material from Montana and the Orient. Flax culture
in the Willamette valley, while very successful is very limited,
because fanners believe the crop is hard on the soil. It is not,
however, harder on the soil than the production ;of cereals of
equal Value." -''v," : -y - V-:--t
. - Our present pork production is considerably below the
schedule recommended by the college, as you will note by read-
, ing.the full text .of our discussion' of that subject.
. C J7e .remember quite well,' as do also many farmers in the
State, theMisastrous results which followed an over-production
of : ark in the. State some years Jtgo. i Whilelwe can well afford
to, take ',ad vantage: of markets in Alaska and other near by
points, we "do, as we have indicated, , feel that it'is not wise, to
attempt to compete with the .corn belt section under existing
transportationconditions. U - r t "
' I am giving you this information and sending you a copy
; of- the bulletin so that you will have before you our recommen-
i dations exactly as they were put out." 'ery truly yours,
- , , . . ;. O. A. C. EXTENSION SERVICE,
,k-t By Paul V; -Maris, Director. -
The above explanation is gladly printed. - r
- The impression given outjirt the news story lit the Oregon
ian was that the Oregon Agricultural College was recommepding
that there should be no moreexpansion" in jpork production in
Oregon; and the editorial in The Statesman contended that
there "had already been great expansion in the 'Salem, district,
and that this was going on, and should go on as long as there
is an Expanding market in Alaska, and other , sections easily
reached by our packers. It will have soon beeu quadrupled in
the; Salem district; since the- opening of the, packipg house
hereof the Valley Packing Company.. It has already .much
more than "doubled. ,
Asto flax growing 1 - - .
There is a good deal left out that ought to be in Extension
Bulletin 367. - ' . 'Vu? ; ' xV : ' ".,
Flax growing for seed for the making of Jinseed ;oil no
doubt 'shows some promise" in central Oregon.! But that kind
of flax, growing; is hard on the soil, for the reason that flax
srown for the seed alone is usually cut with a binder or mower,
end the flax. that is 'left in the ground will not rot easilyFlax
is a miracle crop.' It grows from the seed in CO to SQdays, and
yet it produces a fiber that will last throughput: the ages has
lasted in the Egyptian tombs thousands of years; was found
in King Tut's tomb, and in others in linen of a weav the fine
ness of which cannot: be-equalled by the processes of today;
the methods of making it have been lost. -
But flax in the Salem district, in the .Willamette valley,
where it is grown for the fiber, does n&t ihjure the soil; because
it is pulled and the ground left clean- f
"And the" growers know it . does not in jure their soil ; and
soiae-of tbem raise it on the sanie land for five4 or six years
in succession; though that is not to be recommended as a gen
eraV practice, any more than the raising of wheat or oats or
potatoes on the same land year after year is a good thing.
- The farmers of the Salem district raised about $100,000
worth of flax.this year; and at prices thatr; though not high,
'vcre in most cases remunerative ; in some cases very prof itable.
' There could bo contracted right now, without a cent of
expense other than the printing of the contracts, ten times the
acreage of this year, for 1924 ; and at this year's prices. Inquir
ies are coming from Linn, Lane, Benton, Clackamas, Yamhill
and Washington-counties and every farmer, in Polk and Mar
ion counties who grew flax this year would like to have a con
tract for 1924 ; and a number of . thenr for .much increased
acreage. ' . . ... .- '" .: ;-. ; .
- (Those who "understand the situation" will "agree-that the
writer knows what he is talking about, in this 'respect.) '
The counties named, can "grow the flax fort an output of
flax products running; to $100,000000 a year, land on "acres
. that are now idle or slacker aeres. "This would include the
seed, aswell as the long and short fibers, and upholstering tow,
the cow feed and the druggists! and linseed oil supplies ; would
include the spinning of twines and the.wcaving, of .cloth . and
the making of laces -
For which supplies the United States is sending now $C0,
000,000 a year to foreign lands. ' . '
If the Oregon Agricultural College would "get squarely be
hind this possible industry, with all its steam, we would -very
soon see it developed; with linen and other mills and all the
subsidiary, industries, and the producing end, employing "tens

DOXT IK IT
Some time ago an official in
llii eastern part of 'the. state was
large quantity of liquor in his pos
session.. He was granted a stay
to fix up his affairs and is due tn
Jail early in January An effort
Is being made to get Governor
Pierce to pardon him; It, occurs
to us that it there ever was a case
undeserviug of pardon, it is this
one. This man ought to be an
example and yet he showed hlm
self a beasU lie ought tc be a
respectable citizen, and he showed
himself a sluggard. '' The pardon
ing power should always be used
with discretion, and "never used to
free a man from just -punishment.
He was in a position to know bet
ter. ; " Governor Pierce owes .it. to
the decency of the state to refuse
to pardon this 'official. The man
should be forced to give up his
office. We must take this prohi
bition law more seriously. '
BUNGLED ALL Til HOUGH
"Ths case against Dr. Wrightman
was a stupid error ' all the way
through. la the first place, there
was not evidence enough to con
vict., No man ought to be arrest
ed on any charge unless the offic
ers have the : evidence, at least
where they can lay their hands on
it. . In the second place, a man
who was Irresponsible rand; had
contributed nothing to make Sil
verton a better -place to ? live is
said to have influenced the gover
nor to seek the humiliation of the
district attorney. Governor Pierce
blundered 'seriously when .he lis
tened to" his ' selfish friend and
took the case" away from ; John
Carson. : "The case was forced to
trial and the attorney general's
of f ice did not have time to pre
pare. Mr. West , is not a skilled
criminal prosecutor. 'and lie did
not have a fair chance in this case
and It is not right to criticize. He
does not profess to be a criminal
lawyer. A miscarriage of the en
tire case makes travesty out of
justice and sickens the hearts of
those who desire to - see ' justice
done.
GEILMAX CHILDREN
It Is unfortunate that there Is
so much - distrust of dermany
that hungry children are discount
ed. Since the war. the Germans
have been more unfortunate than
even in the war, they have blun
dered so much. . Yet . they have
done wonders' in holding them
selves together and meeting the
opposition they have had to meet.
A few Germans who ought to ; be
shot for -treason, have made -huge
fortunes, but tho majority of the
people have not been so fortunate.
There Is no doubt as to the real
hunger o? German children , in
parts of " the . country- !. America
can show 'Itself big by helping.
When a little child. cries for food
he Is'a poor stick who refuses on
account ; of .a disagreement with
the father." No matter what they
did In the war. or if ' the people
have blundered since, the. cry of
the babies must reach , our hearts
and cause a humane response. It
is not fair to let a German child
suffer because of any disagree
ment we had with the' government.
It Is not America's way.
NO TRIFLIXG
When the senate -refused to
confirm one member of ' the ship
ping board President, Coolidge
withdrew,. all three -.appointments.
There was som disappointment
in this as one; of the men, Fred
Haney, was -an Oregon 'man,, but
the , general ' public ' will , admire
the spunk of. the. president. He
does not . propose being trifled
with. . . .
There has always been more or
less play on the part of the senate,
but President' Coolldge seems to
be deficient in' the sense ot what
is. commonly caUed humor, and
hence he takes seriously the re
jection of the'ma n" he' names. Mr.
Coolidge does not make' appoint
ments recklessly, ; he makes them
after, mature deliberation, and ' we
have an idea that- the senate -will
not get far on puerile objections.

that there is 'a real man in the
White House. , . . . .. -

Borry that General Wood has been
put under fire." ; We have ' such
confidence In his-' administration
that we know how it will come
out.' belore' a 'single witness is
examined. - Jlowever, -there-la one
disagreeable feature.' and ' that is
that the' ambitious : and designing
politicians of : the Philippine Is
lands will seizeupon it. as a.wcakr

general. : ..- ' v- r 1, ,

good - to , be . besmirched at this
time. Ifls inistlgation will bring
out the cleanness of hi : record.
At the samo time it will eaccTTrage
opposition at Manilla.

ustial!y as sane a paper - as we
hav ?en. takes seriously the
var . ... of the Oregon Vol r in
still further.!. The Oregon Voter is
a Joke, it does not see anything
but the i special ; Interests and
serves them po jpoorly that It can
not expect support much longer,
However, it is rather hard for
Oregon to bo attacked from with
in so malignantly, but it will snr
vive.5 It has survived every, other
pest. ' ' ".- fil ;i '
A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD
The Oregon Statesman has been
interested in the Hollywood neigh
borhood near this city... It seems to
be almost an Ideal place. There
are twenty-one houses there.They
have a community -dub, modern
conveniences and are living hap
pily. ' It 'is in . no' sense a colony.
It is just contented neighbor
hood. We shall have more to say
about this - neighborhood in .the
future. . ' , .

CHAPTER 54
THE INFORMATION -MADGE
WON FROM MRS. KRONISH
I do not think I ever in my lite
have been so surprised as I was
when I shook the apron from the
face of the hysterical, woman in
the kitchen of the roadside inn. ,
; I had been prepared to see the
wrinkled, - twisted face ofanold
woman in the throes of genuine
hysteria. But the face that stared
sullenly up at me was. that ofa
woman but little past middle-age,
with a full unwrinkled face," In
which large "blue .eyes were set
rather far back, eyes that held no
trace ot tears. It was a florid face
naturally, X guessed bn( fear had
drained It of color That she' was
anything but hysterical I knewln
that first glance,, although she con
tinued to sob and laugh alternately
in a creditable imitation of the real
thing.--.r-i ;-' !;f;-; --"i '
For a' second or two while I re
adjusted a my Idea, I J simply - kept
my firm, authoritative grip on her
hands. ' Then I stooped so that I
spoke directly Into her ear 4
"If you wish to Bave Mr. Kro
nlsh you will stop this instantly
and, listen to me. -Your are. paiyy
hurting him. this way."
J She pretended not to hear me
for a few seconds, and I saw her
eyes furtively searching the room.
i "Your friends have gone.". I
went on evenly, "and they will not
come back. You are not fooling
me. I know you're not hysterical.
But I can and will help yon if yon
will let me. Otherwise I must call
the officers to you, and that will
be very bad for your husband." v
She caught her breath sharply
at this, ceased her sobs and rau
cous laughter as If she had turned
of f a tap from which theyt flowed.
"Who- are -you? she asked,"
not "defiantly, but 'evidently to
give herself time to plan her ac
tions. - - .- ,
I Am Here To Help You
. ( I guessed her dilemma, and hop!
ed .that I was not wrong inmy
deduction. She - was still' under
the delustion that the man Smith
was' all-powerful. That the fear
which had blanched her face'and
widened her eyes was divide be
tween him and the officers of the
law was. patents --Whatever - hold
Smith had' upon' her husband or
father, -whichever . Kronish . was,
was. a potent one. I wondered. if
there was any willingness' In their
allegiance, or if it were based
wholly upon fear. with. the secret
rebellious loathing which always

the finger from the nose using as

starts. It Is Impossible to remove
the finger you may be pulled
around the room, but the finger
will stay just where it was placed.
. Another stunt of the same sort
is to put "your hand, on the top of
your head and ask some one to

accompanies such an alliance and
I resolved to gamble u pon the lat

I said, trying not to be too stilted,
"but I am here to help you. not to
hurt you. Listen!" I nsed . the

"Smith is through, done fOr. He

straight to prison. 'He can never
hurt Mr. Kronish or you any more
in any way, ana nothing he can
say' against you will be believed If
yon only are willing to help the
law." - i- - ---- .
Her eyes, large, unwinking, had
been; fixedon me while T spoke
and remained steadily gazing at
me when I finished. I ' realized
that she was weighing me, and I
gazed squarely Into her eyes, tense

power?" she asked at last.
"Where Is Your Husband?":

'Hidden garage," I supplied.
The words seemed to come to me
on the spur oft the moment. A
second before I had no thought of
such a' solution, but It seemed to
be the efficient preparation which
a man like Smith would make.
"Yes." Her eyes .widened in
amazement. "How do you know?"
"Never mind,": I returned,' will
ing she should think me possessed
of secret ' information. , "What
then?"
"He will get the automobile
