Kenneth G. Harlan, electrical
engineer, employed by muulcipali
- ties Joining in the action, was the
. principal -witness, . - ,
He gave the value- of unused
or useless plants in the' district as
of December 31, 1919, as $1,-
175.377,74. . ' - -V
v Property In Oregon,! which It is
claimed should not be Included, is
. carried at a value, of $762,729.
Operation of various plant in
the district has been , carried on at
a -heavy loss, Mr. Harlan said as
the company purchases additional
Washlngttn Waterr Power ' com
1 power 'under 'contract with the
pany at a fraction of the cost of
manufacture at Its own plants.
'"The average cost of energy pro
, 'ducfed by-the''- company' in these

fied, 'while -the- company -bought

land adapted to flax growing.'.The
early flax, as a rule, was extra
good, while the late flax was poor.
The early flax averaged from two
to two and a half tons per acre,
at. $38 per ton. The late flax
averaged halt a ton to one and a
half t6ns per acre at a price that
will not pay for the expense of
growing , and harvesting. Flax
pulling costs' so much per acre,
good or bad,', and, the state uys
it at so much per ton, so It be
hooves the farmer to " raise as
manv tons, as - possible on each
acre - of groona. . nana
cost 20; by machine. $17.50 per
acre. .
The flax puller has. proven a
big success: even pulls cleaner
than the average hand puller.
Several parties in the Turner and
Marlon district have bought ma
chines and are running them, on
a commercial basis. " They; will
pay for themselves In two years'
time If all goes welt. Ball Bros.
have pulled 230 acres this season
with Gale Bros, next in line with
160 acres. V - ' V

the- following: ' .
The largest flax crop ever har
vested in the Willamette valley is
coining to a close.' The flax on
an average has been good; 'some
sections, have -been better than
others; some land wlll.' not pro
duce enough to pay . for" the seed.
neither would it;. have produced
this year enough; oats or wheat,
In every j case the writer knows
of where the land ;was put in, good
shape, the flat' sown, reasonably
early . and the soil fertile to com

satisfactory. These' same people
will grow flax more successfully

about the condition ; in which the
flax has left their land. . The
growers v in general . feel ' they
should receive at least 1 4 5 , per

the heavy' risk and "chance they
