Mark 4: 28-2. THIS IS EPOCHAL 1 binding ppartM? The writer baa little mechanic, genius, and cannot describe the, operation very well not as CoL Bertram or Mr. Butler would describe It. But it is about this way: The power to run the contrivancs on the pulllnf machine that . binds the bundles is furnished by a "tumbling rod" running from the tractor that draws the pulling machine. The rod runs gear that connect up with the operation of the binding apparatus. Perhaps -tumbling rod- Is not good. If the reader thinks so, let him (or her)' name It. Any way, the- bind-. ing part of the palling maenine is operated by the same power that draws : the pulling machine Itself. It makes a better looking midline than the one that it suc ceeds. The machine is not clut tered up with a lot of the appar atus that went with the machine on the machine that ie, the gaso line engine on top of the pulling machine. The pulling of the flax is done by a 4 machine that. looks much like a self binder for grain. The difference Is that the flax pulling machine pulls up the flax by the roots. It Is then conveyed be tween leather belts, to the binding apparatus. - : Why did not the original In- rentor, who was a preacher, and who worked for years and years on his device, think of this? Tou might task why Henry Ford did not at first build an automobile that . looked much like the ones he builds now. Or any other ma ker of automobiles. Col. Bartram calls this new ma chine the "1929 model". This machine is now working on the Vlck flax field. Just off the Gar den road; next to the first road leading from that .highway to the Silverton highway. It is only a few rods from the city limits. This particular machine will no doubt be moved after today. What was left to pull last evening ap peared to be about a good days work for it. And Another Surprise Here is another surprise. The members of the flax tour of yes- members of the flax tour of yester day visited the A. J. Scholtz place where pedigreed flax for this year is being grown. The Scholtz place is a mile or two north of Buttevllle. near the Willamette river. The land on which It is being grown is rich; It approxi mates "beaverdam" land, like that of the Lake Labieh section. The tract sown to the pedi greed seed Is five and a half to six acres in extant. The first pedigreed seed to come to North America was received here last year; about 90 ponds of it. It was sown on an acre of Polk county hill land. This five and a half to six acres will produce enough 3eed for 25 to 30 acres, which will be grown next year. Part of the land for growing it has already been picked oat. In 1930, there should be 150 to 200 acres in ped igreed flax. In 1931, perhaps 1000 acres. By 1932, there should be enough to plant 4000 to 500 acres. After that, there should be enough to furnish the whole of the Oregon acreage in flax. What Wfll That Mean? - That will mean that the same acreage-will produce perhaps two or three times as much fiber as has been produced in the past and perhaps five' or ten times as much long line fiber Do you get what that will mean? The pedigreed flax seed will, under proper conditions in average years, grow four to seven tons of f rax to the acre, agalnatJ the less than two tons to the acre in the-past, on the average. This is a poor flax year. But the pedigreed flax on the Scholtz place will go about four tons to the acre. Part of it has already been harvested pulled by hand. It will average 48 inch fiber flax. That will mean that Mr. Scholtz will get about 11 CO an acre gross for his crop. It costs about $10 an acre to pull flax by the pulling machines. It costs about the same amount to produce an acre of wheat or oats. Do you get that? What Is Pedigreed Seed? This pedigreed seed flax . Is called J. W. S. That stands for John, W. Stewart, of the Belfast, Ireland, district. Mr. Stewart has been working for years on the problem of -growing a long line fiber flax , that wuld contain the largest possible amount of fiber to the ton of straw. He has been assisted by Dr. Ayer, In charge of the Lamberg Institute, which is financed . by . the , government. There have been many pedigreed flax ceed experiments. The- men connected with that section of the U. S. department of, agriculture hich -studies such problems have the occasion, 120,000 singers, gathered from many countries, i brought out some pedigreed seed . . : j i ' Ia... ii . Iproducts.

Figure it.for yourself. It is coming. Read the news article again. J ! Big things are happening in the domain of machine hand ing of our flax product. The 1929 model of flax pulling ma Jhine, manufactured by the state flax plant here, is a mar velous thing. Other developments in this domain are here or !"TI TrM WAV But the big thing, the epochal thing, is the production of 1000 pounds of long line fiber to the acre here I A thing that can be done and depended on from year to year for as long as you may liveand for as long as your children and their children's children may live. .. It is an annual crop. It does not take it 100 years to grow, like a tree for lumber. It grows under irrigation here in 60 days; under other conditions in 70 to 80 days. Flax! is! the magic crop. J. W. S.; seed flax here is trebly a magic crop. It is the crop upon which will be based permanently the great est single industry in Oregon. I j j This all means that Salem will be a city of 100,000 people, and this will not be long in coining about. The present growth will not cease . . i . . It will become greater and faster. . 1 - we nave two unen mius now. rney are paying, rney will I grow bigger and bigger j I And there will be scores of mills; and there will be many specialty mills, and they will employ more people than the primary mills Jike the ones' we have now.!- - I : V .; - Study this thing.'

' ' ; V;V ' I one has written more songs that bubble joy, spontaneous and generous. Always modest and indifferent to applause, he might today if somewhere he hear, this tribute, chorus--find less pleasure in it than he did in the white-heat moment of his own inspiration. To leave a centuryfl heritage of beauty is compensation for something of loneliness and heartache. PEDIGREE FLAX PROVES SUCCESS; MORE FIBER (CoatlaatJ fraa pag L) AFTER A CENTURY . . (Portlahd Telegram)" ,1 : At Vienna, in a gigantic auditorium erected especially r tribute to the memory of Franz Schubert, the master maker of songs, who died there in poverty and disappointment, 100 years ago. ,.: v, 1 he pathetically meager inventory of his estate Included only his worn clothing, a mattress, quilt and bolster and a 4quantityof old music the whole valued at less than $15. That 'old-musk'! included the manuscript of the great C Major Symphony., the innumerable unpublished songs of the 600 that were the product of his short 32 years of life. ' One thinks at once of the irony of this so much! belated ; honor but still, we wonder what Schubert's songs ( would have been if his genius had received the swift and generous reward that goes today to the composer of a "best-seller" in popular music ' - ' - ' The few remadning pages of his diary,reyeal his 6wn con viction that ny compositions in musifj are the product of my xnind and sprung from my sorrow those only that were born of . grief give the greatest delight to the outside world." He navs in another place. MGrief sharpens the understanding and strengthens the soul, whereas joy seldom troubles itself about the former and makes the latter eneminaie or invoious Salem district. But no one has come within hailing distance of the J. W. S. pedigreed seed, for length of straw and fiber content In the straw, Mr. Doertler brought to Salem yesterday a fair, sample of this flax, and he will put it on exhl bition at the First National bank here. The Statesman office has a small sample; designed especial ly to show the stoollng habit of this flax. Interested parties will no doubt examine these samples. They are worthy of the examina tion.: i This U an epochal thing that 1s taking place in our flax industry. It means millions piled 'high on other; mllUona annually for this section of Oregon. . Figure It Thie Way Flax grown here from the J. W. S. pedigreed seed, when it shall have been acclimated, should pro duce 1090 pounds of fiber to the the tombs of the ; pharaohs ot Egypt. ; Tlax la the straw will be better after it is a year old. It is better 150 years old. if kept in the dry. than the first year. Unen articles last hundreds of years, as many of the descendants of the New England pioneers Know, -rot Revolutionary war was fought by soldiers clothed in "home-spun. made from flax. Samples of this home-Dan are in the hands of many of the members of the D. j R. The same story la that the wearers of the -"linsey-woolsey of the pioneer days in the country thla side of the Alleghenles. The linsey-woolsey was - made of flax and wool. Many samples are in existence. At Aurora, T Oregon, where ' flax was grown and spon and woven In the "colony" days. there are many samples of cloth in good condition yet. - - What This Will Mean 1 All this will mean that, v with pedigreed flax, producing 1000 pounds of fiber to the acre, and with, the mills to convert it into tne ipo ana more trucies ui wiu merce made from flax products every acre of the whole of .the Willamette valley will be used in rotation for the growing of tux. It will take the place of cotton. It will be CHEAPER, than cotton. And better. . . . Flax will make Salem a city of 100.000. And then it will be only fairly started in growth. Ge this again: An epochal thing ia taking place here. There is no boll weevil in flax. There Is no disease that affects it. if grown In proper rotation. The Belfast district gives it a seven year rotation. And flax has been disease free for oot yeara, under the right cultural methods. Will likely always be free. Salem district growers have proaucea flax for seven or more years run- ninr. on the same land. It can be done. But it is not tne ngui way. , ; ?-- There are more lhan 70.O00 acres of land in nhe WWamette valley that is good fort ax.;r rn 100.000 acres of it In a seven-year rotation, using J. W. S. pedigreed seed, and you will have enough to support a $300,000,000 annual Industry, and more, supporting di rectly or indirectly over 3,000,000 people. v NtW TREATIES TO BE MADE WITH CHINESE (Continued from paa 1.1 merce of any other country."

It will make an acre do the work of what five to ten acres are do ing now. S S It will give our linen and spec ialty mills an advantage over the cotton mills in any part of the world. It will give us not only the two mills we have now. Increased to many times .their present size, and paying properties on all the cap ital they will have; but it will give us many more primary spin ning and weaving plants. And it will give us many specialty mills, depending for their raw products upon our spinning mUls. And the specialty mUls will employ many more people than the primary mills, and their output will be many times as valuable in the markets of the world. This all means that Salem will be a great city. It will be tne Belfast of the New World-plus. - The Salem district has for sev eral years had more flax pulling machlnea than any other section of the world; and the best ma chines made. Now it is getting still better machines. No other section of the world has as good machines. And we make them at home; can make them in unlim ited numbers.

July 25. (AP) Despite the lapse of 60 days since the dirigible Italia crashed on the ice near Foyn Island and of 37 since Roald Amundsen with five companions in a French seaplane was swallowed by the Arctic si lences, efforts to obtain trace ot these missing men . continues apace. The third Russian ice-snip to dc assigned to the search was given her orders today, tms vessel is the Sedov. The Soviet rescue commission in Moscow ordered her commander to explore the soutn- ern-most points'of Josef Land and then pnsh northward.

(AP) Prospects of Mexico emer ging peacefully from Its present turbulent polltlcaJialtuation were seen by -.well informed observers today as more than a week passed jlnce the assassination of Presi-ient-eject Alvaro Obregon without major disturbances. However, the situation contln- Iues surcharged with uncertainty and predictions as to the future ire considered unjustified. Some U-considered act might at any jaoment upset al calculations. Supporters of the late General Obregon undoubtedly are in full control of the situation and if they remain united can dominate the immediate future. It is they, probably, who will decide who is to be the next president of Mexi co. Conferences were in progress today between Ricardo Topete, leader of the Obregonlsta bloc in congress; Aurelio Manruque and Antonio Soto T. Gama, the-latter two agrarian leaders, and others with a view to determining where the Obregonlsta support for the presidency will be thrown. It seemed inevitable that either President Calles would be asked to succeed himself as provisional president under certain constitu tional arrangements which might be made, or that Aaron 8aens, governor of Nuevo Leon, would be favored. I Perhaps the most dangerous element In the- situation is the bitter feeling against Luis Mor ones, resigned secretary of labor, by some of the Obregon group! There have -been., promiscuous charges that Morones and his la- borite aides created the "psycho logical background" 'for the ass assination of General Obregon.', It is as yet to be legally deter mined however, who, if anybody, besides the actual assassin- Joss ds Leon Toral is responsible for the deed. ' r Considerable speculation has arisen as to whom President Calles will appoint to succeed Sen- or Morones. Among those men tioned is Manuel Peres Trevino. governor of the state of Coahulla and a former secretary of Industry commerce and labor. The brother of General Obre- gon's assassin, Jesus de Leon Tor aL an officer of the federal army stationed at vera Crux, was re leased by police ' tonight after a short stay in prison. The police were satisfied he had no previous knowledge of the crime. ? r Meanwhile President Calles Is keeping close to his residence.
