HAVE HIRED NO HELP
aiui - BRANTLEY AND WIFE
- RAISE DIG CROPS ALONE .
i W. P. Brantley brought to the
Statesman office, yesterday a sam
ple of flax grown on his farm a
mile south ot Aumsville, that came
from a field of 8 acres that will
ave'rage now about '34 Inches high'.
and is almost ready to bloom. It
gives indications - of making a
splendid yield of as fine flax as
can oe grown anywnere. Mr.
Brantley has a total of 140 acres
of flax, all of which looks fine. He
Is growing the flax for the state
flax plant. ,f-- r J ' ':- r :'
Mr. Brantley has a flax pulling
machine, bought from the state
last year; so he will bd ready for
the harvest,' which will begin not
many weeks' In the future.
Mr. Brantley says . the prospect
for a fine flax crop- in the Aums
ville district . is ' the . best he has
seen for years. Most of his neigh
bors whb ares growing flax are
prepared to irrigate; but it looks
now like no irrigation will be nec
essary, at least for 'the early sown
flax. The field from '"which the
sample mentioned above was . tak
en nras sown March 3d. This is
the second year for flax in that
field; but Mr. Brantley has had
flax in ! most of ' his . fields from
three to five years, and It shows up
as well as some in the fields of
neighbors who are growing flax
for ! the first time this year, . on
well fertilized soil. .
Mr; and Mrs, firahtley prepared
the 'ground and put in all their 140
acres of flax, without paying but a
single cent, for help: and they put
on i 53 acres or Ismail grain be
sides. After their; short crops Of
last year, they were left In no con
dition to be lavish with expendi
tures for help. Mrs, Brantley drove
the! drill that wis used tqf sow the
flax and the grain. These people
surely deserve the feeling that
comes with having such prospects
for good crops as thev now see.
They represent Ihe kind of people
on the land who will , bring this
country to the front, if there is
cooperation all down the line, in
providing them: witaj good mar
kets, through " manufacturing
plants in the towns and cities.

T EDITORIALS OF THE t
PEOPLE 1
Editor Statesman? .. ;
4 In your news columns of Thurs
day -morning the following is the
first paragraph to one of your
news items: ;
"Representatives of military and
patriotic organizations of the city,
particularly . the older ones, are
unalterably . opposed to baseball
games, motorcycle and automobile
races, dances and the, military tour
nament fit the Oregon Agricultur
al college .In particular being held
in connection with Memorial day.
Such events, they claim, are not
good Americanism on May 30."
It Is very possible that the in
terest in Memorial day, a day set
apart 57 years ago to commemo
rate the deeds of the men who
died in defense of their country,
is not as great 'on the part of the
younger patriotic organizations as
In the older ones, but if this be a
fact it only emphasizes the great
importance of a continuation of
the older patriotic organizations.
It has been said by many that
when the last member of the
Grand Army of the Republic has
been laid to rest the mission of
the .Sons1, of Veterans would, In
greater part have been fuTrTiled,
as the members of the later wars
would take up the patriotic work
laid down by these grand old men
of . 1861-5 Son of a Veteran, I
would like to believe this, and
hope that the inference drawn by
the reporter Is not correct.
The, very fact that snch an in
stitution as the Oregon Agricul
tural college is losing interest in
the men who fought that the Un
ion might be preserved is one evi
dence that the younger generation
is losing interest In the Ideals of
our really true patriots. Commer
cialized military; demonstration on
Memorial day, in the mind of a
true patriot, is mockery.

Peaches will be plentiful this
year in the Willamette valley, ac
cording to Knight Pearcy. who has
recently made a trip over the
peach district of this section. -'There
is ''.possibility,' however,
that the s leaf ,curl will decrease
the" oroduct. He thinks the late
rains kept the farmers from spray
ing before the buds started. ; The
ever present brown rot is to be
guarded against;, ho states. The
Weather of the past few days has
made the fungous growth very
rapid. Crops must be carefully
guarded from it, he said.
