II inspeciion lour as me Crop Nears Maturity . At least one Harrisburg farmer will: experiment; in growing fiber flax this year, and what Is more he .proposes to give, It a thorough try-cut . by planting two .tracts of an acre each. ; One will be on good ground and the other on land that is badly overcropped. The ; arrangement., was made through W. L. Teutsch of the ex tension department of OAC, who made a special rvisit here and ar ranged with G. E. Jackson to give this flax a fair trial. The seed is furnished by the college for ten experimental tracts in Linn county and about ; the same number1 in several other valley counties. It requires about 110 pounds of seed to the acre, and the broadcast method, is used in sowing. As the cropinears maturity It is planned to make an organized Inspection tour by college men and those interested In flax raisings Harrisburg Bulleting. . 1 (The trial tracts of flax In the Willamette valley counties are scarcely necessary; that is, to find out if they can grow a high qual ity of fiber flax. The experiments being made in the coast counties. however, win perhaps be of mnch value.. It will likely be found tnat a good fiber flax can be produced in our coast I counties; though there may be some question as to whether it can every year be brought to the seed stage. Ed.)
