yesterday noon. J"lt has been my
greatest ambition , lo, put the, flax
industry orer, and the erection of
the Miles XInen mill is evidence
that the effort- has; been worth
while." .
The speaker indicated that the
flax industry ha3 been one rf the
dominafit ones since eaily history.
He gave evidence of the linens
which had been wound around the
Egytian mummies, which Indicat
ed that flax had been grown, 4 ,000
years befbre the Christian era.
"If we can get 20,000 acres of
flax grown in Oregon we will bo
able to maintain ten scutching
mills in the- Willamette valley,
each giving employment to 25 or
30 employees. Mr. Crawford said.
The acreage would result in , the
production-ot 400,000 pounds of
flax, which , would " bring . a i gross
return of $164,000 to the Willam
ette valley. ' -:
"This year the state is paying
138 per ton for the pulled flax,
which will enable the , farmer ; to
produce it with a margin of profit.
"There is no reason why addi
tional plants should; not be estab
lished because we are only equip
ped to handle 2000 acres at the
present time. Fifty thousand
pounds of the finished article was
sold the other day, and we could
have sold four times as much,''
he said. . . , : i l ; . .
D, M.; Sampson, I president of
Dominion Linens, Ltd., one of the
largest linen firms in Canada gave
a short talk on the quality of
Oregon flax. Mr. Sampson stated
he had. been to Oregon a num'ber
of times, this was his first visit to
Salem. j
."Oregon flax is of a high
grade," was the statement of the
visitor . yesterday. j ;
One thing that the world needs
is-an amplifier for the still small
voice. ' : i .

Penitentiary Equipment Give
Sarem Claim to Best
V Mill in Country
' The Chamber of Commerce bul
letin carries a good story for this
week on the state flax industry at
Salem, where the largest and best
equipped flax mill in the United
States is operated. Some claim
7 - -
is made that it is the largest plant
of its kind In the world.
An invoice of the plant, wnich
is situated at the east end of State
street, in conjunction- with jthe
penitentiary, shows that iherc are
many pieces of t equipment and
several buildings; used in the flax
Industry. -. h.
Seven large storage sheds, cap
able of holding C, 000, 000 pounds
of flax straw, a brick warehouse.
75x1 00 feet, housing the de-seed
ing and seed-cleaning machines for
flax. -
Four retting. tanks, each 20 by
50 feet, with a depth of rive feet,
made of cement and designed to
hold 12 tons of flax straw.
, The state also .operates. 22
scutching machines for flax and
three for tow. in addition to the
nine fiax breakers, seed cleaning
machines and a specially designed
machine known as the attrition
mill, used in grinding flax "seed
for the drug trade.
The concrete retting tanks,
which are operated at the prison
are the inventions of Robert
Crawford. Water of the right tem
perature covers the flax and the
retting is done in six days, while
in Belgium and Ireland, flax is
retted by placing it along the
banks of streams, a process requir
ing several weeks.
