STANDARDjOlt BULLETIN HAS GOOD ARTICLE
ON FLAX GROWING IN THE SALEM DISTRICT
Tells About the Equipment and Operation of the State Flax Plant at the Oregon Penitentiary, With
i Several Illustrations Giving Readers Intelligent Idea off Subject
jThe Standard Oil Bulletin for
October gives the; flax industry of
the Salem district a splendid ar
ticle, with several' illustrations:
There is a picture of a flax field
and also one of the Canadian flas
puller at work near Aumsville,
and four pictures illustrating the
work at the state flax plant,
showing the 'whipping (threshing)
machines, the sacked flax seed, the
scutching machines, and one of
the retting tanks. The text of the
article is as follows:
Over in Belfast, Ireland, they
hold fondly to the belief, so it is
alleged, that the climate of the
United States is most unfavorable
to the growing of flax that it can
not be grown here on a commer
cial basis. Some linen manufac
turers of Belfast familiar with the
climatic conditions obtaining
around New York and Chicago are
said to have rendered a verdict
responsible for this belief. They
were flax experts, so their opin
ions were accepted as expert testi
mony. However, their conclusions
it seems, were based on the as
sumption that the climate of the
whole United States is like that
of New York city.
Those Belfast manufacturers of
linens apparently did not know
that across the continent, in the
northwest corner of the United
States, in the state of Oregon, ex
tending 130 miles south from
Portland, is the valley of the Wil
lamette, which has a climate in
many respects very similar to that
of northern France, Belgium, and
parts of Ireland where flax is most
successfully grown. This valley
has the same annual rainfall as
the principal flax-growing coun
tries of the world, and is other
wise characterized by strikingly
similar climatic conditions.
Those Belfast manufacturers of
linens apparently did not know, or
Ignored the fact, that farmers in
the Willamette valley have been
growing flax for tne past fifty
years flax that received a high
award at the Centennial exposition
in Philadelphia in 1S76, at the
Paris exposition, and at the Pan-ama-acific
exposition in 1915.
Although flax has 'been grown
in the Salem district of the Wil
lamette valley for a full half cen
tury, and its superior quality de
monstrated, nothing was done
from a commercial standpoint
with this crop until a few years
ago, when Oregon state officials
seeking to place . several of the
state institutions on at least a
partially self-sustaining basis, and
find om ploy meat - for slate
charges, became interested in flax.
As a result, the state of Oregon
is now in the flax business.

Italian Press-Censor
Asked to Condemn Early
-' ROMl Italian' newspapers at

opposing the present Fascist gov
ernment, wbose dally destinies are
at the mercy of the press censor,
have addressed a plea to tho cen-
Bor that -ho condemn them o.n.ick-
includes seven large storage-sheds
haying a total capacity of six
million pounds of flax. A brick--and-concrete
warehouse, seventy-
five by one hundred feet, houses
the de-seeding and seed-cleaning
machinery. In this building are
thirty scutching machines for sep
arating flax fiber from the straw.
The plant equipment also includes
nine flax breakers, several seed-
cleaning machines, threshing ma
chines, and an attrition mill for
grinding the flax seed for the drug
trade.
r- Not devoid of Interest are the
six concrete retting (rotting)
tanks, each twenty by fifty feet,
with a depth of five feet. Each
will hold twelve tons of flax straw.
Straw is placed in these tanks and
covered with water kept at a
temperature of about seventy de
grees. After four or five days in
this bath the substance holding the
fiber to the straw disintegrates,
and then the flax is snread out
op the ground to dry. This treat
ment" completed, the raw material
is ready for the breaking machines
then the scutching machines, and
in due course the flax fiber, is
readv for baling and shipment to
the linen mills.
The Salem Chamber of Com
merce has sunplied the Bulletin
with the following information
regard Ine flax growing, as prac
ticed in the Willamette valley:
Flax is a ninety to a hundred
day crop. The land is prepared
about the same as for wheat. Flax
is drilled in, two bushels to the
acre. Seed costs from $2.50 to
3 per bushel. Planting is usuallv
done during late Anril or early
May. Two tons of flax ner acre
is the averaee yield. This year
the state of Oregon contracted for
and paid $38 a ton for flax more
than thirtv inches in length, and
$2? ner ton for flax under that
length down to twenty inches. Any
under that is used in the manu
facture of tow. and brings $22 a
ton. according to state contract.
Due to the fact, that long fiber
is most desired, flax is nulled, not
mowed, except that which is too
short for weaving purposes. The
recent invention of pulling ma
chines seems to have solved the
pulling problem for all time. Thir
ley. A machine of the type showr
season thirteen of these machine?
were owned in the Willamette val-
in the acrorooanving illustraHor
pulls and hinds from six to eight
acres a day of flax stand.
In the Willamette valley sur
rounding Salerri, approximately
4000 , acres were planted to . f la-"
"h1s!season. and of this area the
product of 2500 acres was con
tracted for by the state of Ore
gon. According to the Salem Cham
ber, of Commerce, Salem is thf
only city west of the Mississippi
river with a $150,000 linen mill
ly if he Intends to condemn
them."
The press law provides that the
censor approve each issue of each
newspaper, the penalty being sup
pression of the edition if any
thing is found objectionable.
Recently the censor changed his
office hours so that he did not
examine the newspapers until sev
eral hours after their appearance.
The result was that condemna
tions came so tardily that the
f newspaper was unable to print a
later expurgated edition, as was
previously the custom. Conse
quently all the copies of the news
paper were seized and the regu
lar readers had no copies at all.
"Please, Mr. Censor," the news
papers said, "would you mind con
demning us quickly if you intend
to at all?"
Commercialism Robbing
Art and Artists, Said
DENVER. The money a part
of the public is paying to "hear a
name sing or play" rather than
an artist, is held to blame as an
item in a' "commercialism that has
taken the heart and soul from
music."
Robert Slack, noted concert di
rector, sighed as he said it. "It s
money-money-money. The public
makes and breaks .artists unfor
tunately and part of it pays to
hear a name sing or play rather
than an artist."
This public to which Mr; Slack
referred pays to see the chosen
few- and in doing so, in his opin
ion, .thereby is keeping hundreds
of names from the electric slfin
boards that are equally as good
'But Commercialism Commerci
alism, that's what has taken the
heart and sold from music," he
added.
Mr. Slack has had an assocla
tion with choirs, choruses and op
eratic stars over a period of near
ly 40 years.

OREGON
The plant of the Miles Linen com
pany, with $150,000 paid up stock,
was recently completed and Is now
in operation. This company is
engaged in the manufacture of
twines and fishing gear, the de
mand for which averages $1,000,
000 annually on the Pacific coast,
which market includes the exten
sive salmon fishing industry of
the Columbia river and the great
fishing interest extending into
Alaska.
Another linen mill in Salem, a
half-million dollar enterprise, is
contemplated. It is authoritativelv
stated that to date $400,000 of
the total amount has been sub
scribed, and it is planned to pro
ceed with the construction of the
first unit berore the close of the
year, with the hope of being in
a position to operate when the
1926 harvest Is due.
Taking into consideration the
trend of events ab6ve described,
and the fact that some 200.000
acres in the Willamette valley are
suited to flax culture, indications
are that Oregon is well on her way
toward the establishment of a new
industry with excellent prospects
of development.
Some Corrections
(Some corrections are needed
In the above from the Standard
Oil Bulletin. The breaking and
scutching machines, and the
threshing and whipping machines,
are located in the buildings inside
the wall at the penitentiary, and
not in the new brick warehouse
outside the walls. There are six
concrete retting tanks, but there
are also nine circular wood ret
ting tanks, and six -more concrete
tanks are to be built for the opera
tions of next year; to be ready
with the coming of the spring
sunshine. Ed.)
