Governor Pierce has been ap
proached i by V representatives j of
large eastern paper? manufactur
ing interests to .make the flax
waste: from 1 the ; penitentiary
scutching plant 'into pulp,-under
contract to them for its purchase,
for .use in mixing with other ma
terials for manufacturing paper.
The idea is to combine" the kraft
paper .making! process with .an
other new.' process, x! and - "make
ledger paper and other high grade

Governor. Pierce is. not in favor
of making such a ! contract, be
cause, in common fwith the super
intendent of industries at the penitentiary,-
John- Qnlnland, he has
been looking "forward' to a "more
profitable use of this waste than
burning It under the prison boil
ers, which makes a savlqg in fuel
vf some 20 to $30 a day. ,
i . -j-. . . i
This waste is made up of the
cores lof i the flax straw ' called
shives, after the fiber, which is on
the outside, is scutched or stripped
off. It is the 'only waste of flax
as used here, the other products
being- flax seed ground flaxfor
poultices, the seed bolls used for
stock - feed, lohg line ' fiber; spin
ning tow, and upholstering tow
It is said that machinery j for
making the waste Into paper
string may be put In at the prison
for about $20,000, and that this
product would be . worth ''about
$400 a day from the two and a
halt tons of .waste now . coming
from the scutching mill, which
amount 1 will !JV eventually' 1 be
doubled, perhaps this year. That
use of this by-product of flax

vesting flax seed is the same as in
any of the other grain crops, such
as wheat, oats or barley. The
planting time is between the first
and fifteenth of April. The land
is prepared as if it was to be
sown in wheat.
peed from fiber flax does not
yield as much to the acre and does
not1 contain as much oil as seed
planted only for seed. However,
for- those who plant fiber flax,
there is the seed that may be sold
if the season prevents the proper
growth of the flax.
' ..Experiments at the Oregon Ag
ricultural College show that seed
flax extracts no more mineral mat
ter fro tnthe soil than wheat and
not as much as barley or oats. In
fact," according to -all experiments
made, there is nothing to the old
story that flax is hard on the land.
