ASK AID OF STATE Not Sufficient Hand Labor Avail able; File Articles of fncor ' poratlon for Milt on .1 li:;- Monday i A critical situation is in ' the offing for the flax growers of Wil lamette -valley, according; to Col. W.

Much anxr iety is being shown by the prom inent woTkers who realize that it will be Impossible for the farmers to secure labor to pull the crop by hand. '.-.' I f There are only 11 flax machines in the Willamette valley ready to pull the crop when it id at its proper stage of ripeness, and this number cannot care for' the 4, 000 acres of excellent flax that has been raised in this section of the state, it is . pointed out. At ' the very last minute, it is claimed, the farmers will cpme to the state for aid to care for the crop. There is only one thing to do, and that is to make -arrangements for. securing additional pulling machinery . here, it is claimed by authorities. The available labor supply will be absorbed by other harvests that go on at about the same time. Con sequently, the flax growers will be faced with - a critical situation, which they cannot solve. ' Progress of securing sufficient funds, which will allow for filing of articles of incorporation of the proposed new linen mill" here is going along rapidly.' Unless other developments arise the papers will be filed Monday noon. Practical ly all that is holding back the fil ing of the papers, Is the shortage of a few thousand dollars of the Portland subscribers. It is claim ed that a few hours work on their part, coupled with the Influence of -many prominent subscribers, will be sufficient. The proposition , is an assured fact, and the promoter in the field Col. W. B. Bartram, has turned to . other details -ot the matter which are to be met in the ad vancement of the project, r It is felt that unless steps are taken to avert the crisis that is facing the growers here, the grow ing of flax will receive a set-back that may prove a serious influence to the industry.
