where flax was planted early,
many growers had fair returns
Among those who did fairly
well, notwithstanding unfavorable
Weather, was David A. 'Turnidge,
living near Jefferson. He planted
seven acres of flax on the Sahtiam

tarying In-lengths from 36 to 50

$3 8.00 a ton -for his flax, j t v j;
Mr. Turnidge was new In the
flax game but is so well satisfied
with his first experience that he
will plant 15 acres this year. In
summing up his past year's ex
perience, Mr. Turnidge says the
hardest part of the crop was in
the pulling. All the seven; acres
were pulled by hand, for which
Mr. Turnidge paid $20.00 an acre.
In figuring up his costs, Mr.
Turnidge includes rent of three
acres at $15 an acre and rent of
four acres at $10 an acre, a total
of $85.00. charged to rent. '
Mr. Turnidge sold to the state

H. Dodd, a friend of many years,
conducted the services,-reading as
the lesson the Nineteenth Psalm,

All eight of his children were

Ships Carload of Pears
Last week the -Falls City Can
hing company made a straight car
loaa snipment of Bartlett pears
consigned to H. M. Reid & Co.
wholesale gtocers of Waterloo
Iowa., It is not .unusual for pool
ed- ears to be consigned to one
.wholesaler, but this is a good sis
ed order to go from one small
cannery to one firm of jobbers.
The sales of stock on hand so
far are very gratifying, as only
about a carload -and a half remain
to be shipped out, and it is ex
pected to have entire stocks clean
ed up by the time the fiscal year
of the'eannery ends.
