i
Page Makes Ruling
L Persons who "are buying "prop
erty on contract ' are not eligible
to vote at a school -bond election.
Deputy - District Attorney;, Lyle
Page has Informed the county
school superintendent's office ia
an oral opinion.
- The , superintendent's .of f i c e
soughHan opinion from the dis
trict attorney's office late this
week af tfr -residents jof the West
Stayton school district called to
knownhe law on the matter. (
West. Stayton voted . Saturday
on a bond issue- to erect a new
school building, and the problem
of, contract land buyers f voting
was brought up. beeauso quite a
few residents there are , purchas
ing land on this basis. It 'was
figured there .were enough of
these, installment purchasers to
swing the election one way or the
other r ' ; ... v
Mr. Page, ia giving bis opinion,
that contract purchase does not
satisfy " the property, qualification
on school bond elections, pointed
to the fact that the taxpayer's
name must be on the assessment
roll, which is not. so when a con
tract has not been satisfied. :
He referred to the case of Low
vs. Britting. in which the supreme
court. held school law is under a
different . section - than ' the 1928
law applying to elections, the lat
ter having been held unconsti
tutional. . The 1929 law attempt
ed to put on a property qualifica
tion for bond Toting, but this was
declared unconstitutional.
However. Inasmuch as the opin
ion on Low vs.- Britting declared
tnia- does not affect the school
law, the district attorneys office
holds that a school bond voter
must be a taxpayer and must have
his. name on the assessment rolls.
West Stayton will determine
today whether the new- building,
if any,' will be a three or four
room structure.

Flax to Meet Increasing?
Demand of Linseed Oil Mis
A short time ago the States
man published a story telling
that there, would be a good mar
ket for flax seed. during the com
ing year and that Portland -firms
were anxious to get ; seed con
tracts. v-'r- ; - :iJ '-r- "'"
Since that time many Inquiries
have ' come .in regarding ' the
planting, of flax for seed. The following-
communication from Areh-er-Daniels-Midland
. company,
manufacturers of, linseed oil In
Portland will serve to answer
many of these questions." ' .
In a report dated February 11,
1930, the bureau of agricultural
economics of the IT. S. department
of' agriculture said that- at' aver
age yields thetnetl returns" per
aere from f,lax seed' "selling ' at
91.S0 per bnshel would bo as
profitable as wheat at 11.10 Ter
bushel. At this writing the flax
seed market. Is firm - at around
$1.58 at Portland, . and k growers
who have- spring crops to plant
should not overlook the posalbili-
tlee this crop offers, as. compared
with wheat and then grains. . -
- "Since -we ' announced - a -few
weeks ago that we were offering
contracts again this year for ' the
growing of flaxseed In the Port
land territory, a great deal of in
terest has been shown, and contracts-
and seed orders are' coming
in rapidly. Some of- the questions
Which are being moat -frequently
asked us - are - listed ".below, . to

land, the better the yield should

lar seeders, cut with a binder,
and thjreshed with a grain separa

"When , should it . be planted,
and how. much' seed per acre
. ."Early planting is best, and as
soon as soil ! conditions permit
proper working,-it can be sown.
Forty, pounds of seed per acre is
used n the average land, although
on especially rich ground, such as
beaver-dam or dyke-land, as much
as 56 pounds is used, r
"What 'are the average yields
per acre?. : : ;
"This naturally varies consid
erably,' depending upon the soil,
handling, season, etc.. but a gen

duce about half as many bushels
per aero as 'wheat on - the same
land. From 12 to 15 bushels per
acre : Is usual : in the Willamette
valley, and from there on up to
20. 25, and even 40 or more bush
els per acre on the better lands.

Survey Predicts More Tur
keys and Fewer Chick-v
ens in: 1931
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallls, March 20 The poultry
population of Oregon during 1931 .
will probably -include, more turk
eys but fewer chickens, according
to an outlook report Just Issued
by L. R. Breithanpt, agricultural
economist of the Oregon exten
sion service. - . .
Although- prices for turkeys
were slightly lower In 1930 than
during . other recent . years, re
turns were fairly good as com
pared to other products, and the
outlook for .1931 appears favor-'
able .from '.the. demand stand
point, the report says. : Little is
known, however, -about the prob
able supply from other states.
, "Poultrymen apparently plan to
raise fewer pullets, this year than -Usual,
In spite of the fact that the
market " outlook for eggs during
tho -1931-32 marketing, year ap

for January and 60 per cent for.
February, , and. an even greater,
reduction' was made on the Paci
fic coast. - .
The mild open weather of the
winter months has resulted In an
unusually heavy egg production,
even though , the number of hens "
on farms throughout the country ."
has been reduced: The present
trend, is toward normal produc
tion, however, and low egg prices
have brought about increased
consumption, j: . - . .,
