GROW FLAX SEED
EXPERT'S ADVICE
(Continued from pc 1.)
nesday evening, that the growers
ought to organize among them
selves and to agree to shoot any
man who will import any seed Into
Oregon.
The United States department
of agriculture Is working . con
stantly on improving fiber flax
seed, and the Oregon Agricultural
college is prepared . to devote a
great deal of time and attention
to getting the best seed. G. R.
Hyslop, agronomist of the Oregon
Agricultural college experiment
station, was with Mr. Dewey while
he was making his investigations
in this district. .
The program for better seed,
grown , in Oregon, must be pur
sued. It must not be dropped
The future of the great industry
depends largely on this. Mr.
Dewey said that there is no other
section of North America adapted
to the production of fine fiber
flex. It is an advantage we have
here that must not be thrown
waT- : 1
Mr. Dewey looks with favor al
so upon our ability to produce"
good hemp. He thinks we should
prepare to treat hemp, and thus
make a market for whatever quan
tities of hemp fiber that the mar
kets may demand from Oregon.

HONOLULU, July 23. (By As
sociated Press). Two courts of
Inquiry, were ordered late today to
Investigate three '"airplane .acci
dents on Oohu island earlier. in
the day when two army officers
were killed and a third severely
Injured." Two others, a non-commissioned
officer and a private,
also were seriously injured.
Today's dead: First Lieutenant
Charles . I. Morse, Lancaster, N.
H.; First Lieutenant John A.
Wyatt, Hampton, Va.
Injured: Staff Sergeant Pros
per ;Ter Moullen, Second Lieuten
ant John F. McBlain. district of
Columbia; Private Hanklns, act
ing observer.
Both of the dead officers leave
families.
Sergeant Moullen Is the most:
seriously hurt of the men Injured.
The three accidents occurred
within. less than three hours..
Lieutenant Morse took off from
Luke field, on the army end of
Ford. Island, at almost the same
instant, that a navy plane piloted
by' Chief Petty Officer Froscoe
arose from the navy field at the
other end of the island.
The two pilots evidently .'did
hot see each other until their
planes .were near collision. Eye
witnesses said both were circling
trying to obtain "ceiling" and
that : Morse apparently gUmpsed
the navy plane and tried to pull
away. As he did so the tall sur
faces and control wires of Morse's
plane came in contact with the.
surfaces of the navy plane, throw
ing me army plane, which was
heavUy 'loaded, out of control.
The army plane pulled away, then
crashed to earth, striking on the
left wing and turning upside
down. -4
Lieutenant Morse was dead
when the ambulance arrived.
Lieutenant Wyatt, accompanied
by Sergeant Ter Moullen, was pil
oting a large DeHaviland plane
when his engines started to give
trouble. Forced to land, he made
for a small field on the Walpahu
plantation, 14 miles from here.
He overlooked, however, a high
tension electric wire which caught
the plaae and tent it .crashing to
the. ground. v ; J
The pilot was killed almost in
stantly. Sergeant Ter - Moullen
was taken to Trlpler general hos
pital -where his injuries -were de
clared serious.
Both of these accidents hap
pened .within an hour. t.The third
occurred when Lieutenant Mc
Blain with Private "Hanklns as
observer went up in another De
Haviland to search for Wyatt's
plane. They located the plane but
in landing hit the same wire that
caused the Wyatt accident. Mc
Blain received a gash in his rjeck
and other external and possibly
internal injuries. Private Hank
ins was cut and bruised. , !
. Both McBlain, and Wyatt were
attached to the fourth observation
group, while Lieutenant Morse
was with the 19th pursuit sqcad
ron. " .
Wyatt was 32 years old. He en
listed In March. 1917, and re
ceived . a regular commlssloa In
July, 1920. He had been in
Hawaii two years. His wife and
four year old daughter reside here.
Lieutenant Morse enlisted In 1917.
He leaves a wife and two small
children here.

OLD CROP-HOPS BOUGHT
LI YES LEY BUYS LAST OP 1034
j YIELD AT 20 CENTS ,..
The last bale of last year's crop
of local grown bops was sold yes
terday to T. A. Livesley. This Is
the first time In many years. that
a crop has been entirely disposed
of before the next year's crop is
on the markets The top price of
last year's crop was paid by Lives
ley for the Benedict & Harris lot
of 1117 bales. The price for the
lot was 20 cents a pound. .
The prospects for a good crop
this I year are excellent and s esti
mates establish the probable- alia
of the crop as equal to last year's,
which, was 75.000 bales. Tbs
price this year is lower than last
year'a price with little activity ia
the market. Contracts hare been
reported at 15 cents but these are
few in number. ,
