nd partly mechanical. If it were purely mechanical, it would
not require even thirteen hours. Henry Ford uses a mechani
cal process which he has discovered, and which he' thinks
will be so perfected as to do away entirely with retting; and
; scutching. Anyway, he is already getting coarse fiber that
'he is usiin making brake bands for his automobiles. By
. thfs process the flax straw is merely fed into one end of a
machine and comes out at the other end with the fiber sep-
"arated f rom he' shives or cores. ' 1

CONSOLIDATIONS IN INDUSTRY
j-
Bits For Breakfast
, ' ; Industry everywhere is turning toward consolidation and
economy in operation.- Standardization, too, follows as an
. economic necessity through better marketing systems.
n - Uniform quality is the demand most Insistent just now.
lhe growth of .uniformity as one of the present - marke
requirements is seen in the various laws recently passed
; requiring standardization of products and in the planting of
large and selected areas chiefly to one kind of crop, as for
example,, concentrating upon certain varieties of fruits, vege
tables or grains within given areas. '

proved quality rather than quantity is just now the slogan
' of srowers in response to the demands of the markets and
. of the consumers. .A Sufficiently large amount of one variety
of products as potatoes, cherries or wheatraised within a
givenarea makes it possible for growers to pool their: crops
with the result that they xan slip in. larger quantities and
make favorable impression on the ; market. Again, where
.selection is; made with reference to a single variety, cooper
tive selhng of quality-products is one of the first consider
) tkns- And further, cooperation itself requires consolidation
J of interests, efforts and a collective responsibility. " ;
Examples of consolidation in industry includes, in addi
tion to those suggested abovef the poultrymens association
standardization and selling, the cooperative wool growers
association, the prutf growers organization, the local cherry
pool nd many other "organizations with similar purpose and
methods of standardizir.and selling certain products.
- Among the resultsr of these cooperative consolidations
are products placed on the mtket under the test of uniform
ity in size and quality, attractiveness of pack, accurate meas

It Is something of an accident
that there is so much hemp at the
state 'flax plant, from the leaves
of which the marihuana is made
pronounced meriwana, and acting
like the hasheesh of Oriental fame,
or 111 fame.- It was never the in
tention of the hi&her authorities
that there should be so much.
Neither was marihuana thought of
at that time. It is likely that this
will preclude the establishment of
a hemp industry, ever at the peni
tentiary; though otherwise that
would be a good place to start
that industry. We grow as good
a quality of hemp as the best Italy
produces,- and the Industry will
finally be developed here.
