FLAX BULLETIN J , V The Farmers Bulletin, No. 669, of the United States De partment of Agriculture, on FibeV Flax, copies of which may be had at the Salem Chamber: of j Commerce headquarters, has some information that is of value- I ! -f - ; But it needs sadly to be bro lght up to date. ' It does not know of a successful flax pulling machine. It has not heard of warm witer retting; it still believes the L-VS river water fReltriiiTn1 hka a mvisfpriniia nnnlifv -fnr rof. ting flax; whereas it is no of the Santiam or Willamette - stream, warmed. It has nob cuts in getting the fiber out df f Lax j . v . :And there are a number bf other things it has not heard about. ; ..r, J. . j f , , It gives a map showingj th 2 fiber flax, districts of the United States, western Oregon $nd Washington and parts of Wisconsin, Michigan and New Vork near the Great Lakes. The Bulletin especially mentions the Wisconsin district. , ..But the, flax machinery jfroin that district (from Beloit, Wisconsin,) is now being shipped to Vancouver, Wash., the Jndustry having proven a faiun; there. fThe fiber produced there is all right for coarse fabrii:s, such as Henry Ford needs for his car tops, seat coverings, etc., but it is not suitable for fine linens v I 1 And the fact remains that ours is the only district in North America that can grojr tie finer fibered flax; and; the most favored district in the world for both growing and man- ufacturing it.
