Declares Writer . Br MRS. ALLTN NUSOM We, ot Oregon, are .deeply in terested ia tbe history and manu faeture of linen because the coil climate and water of Oregon, arg the best In tbe world tor the 'cul tivation of-flax; and with little effort Oregon could . become the , serious rival of Ireland, Russia and tbe Courtral district of B&l- g.am where the finest flax -Is now produced. - - -i - .The demand for.' tbe - various products -of flax ia' nation and world-wide; and Oregon and .Washington should be- the world's prodncer. Tbe United States con sumes approximately naif the linen entering tbe .world : com merce; and only a small propor tion la supplied by 'domestic pro duction. Linen - manuiacturing flnns in the United States are en gaged primarily In tbe production of coarser grades of goods. High wages, high-cost of machinery and lack of experience hare mil luted against ibis industry In our country.. Tbe finer the grades the higher the- percentage- cost and lb more difficult - It ' is to compete with imports from Earo- " pean countries- where wages are . .lower. . " ' . Tbe linen Industry Is sucb that It cannot be conducted on a small scale, aa the processing must be done tbe same regardless 01 Quantity, it must be done per fectly in order to produce a first class article. Each aepartmeni, - therefore, that performs the var ious eteps from tbe growth of tbe flax to tbe finished piece or linen must be of sufficient size and ca pacity to make it a commercial - nnit. - - - The enormous amount ot beau tiful fabrics of various colors and designs produced by Mrs. May In man of Portland, who for many 'years1 has used, the - spinning wheel to spins ber yarn and the loom to weave ber material, is eloquent testimony of ber skill and industry. As far back as 1897, when the Oregon Women's Flax Fiber association was formed, Mrs. Inman was lecturing and il lustrating tbep ' ossibllltles and beauties of Oregon flax. Her in terest has never waned and she scorns' tbe use of any but Oregon grown fiber. , She says, "It Is tbe best In the world." Not long ago Mrs. In- man gave ' talk to an enthusi astic audience, in Portland, on the various processes of flax from Its growth to the finished product. The spinning wheel she used in demonstration was over 150 years old. Ireland Is only one-third tbe sice of the state of Oregon and has less than one-tenth the acre age ot land . suitable tor the growth of flax, yet they have nearly 700 scutching mills there. Oregon Should Progrss , -' Oregon,- and especially tbe-vicinity of Salem, with its natural ' heritage of soil, climate and wat er snrpasisng any In the world for tbe cultivation of flax should have made greater progress in the deevlopment of these re sources. Every little ' town In the Wil lamette valley should be dotted over with scutching mills, giving, employment to labor. The grow ing ot flax would enrich 4 the farmers and the state. The man ufacture ot linen, with the con centration of skilled labor this is Ireland's great advantage and a few more linen enthusiasts will eventually make this, state the richest In the nation.

Jar dine, the present director. In Many outstanding- scientific dia. covertes- in. sgrleulture are cred ited entirely to Dean Cordley, such as the development of the lime-sulphur snrar. discovery of the cause of apple tree anthrae nose and the discovery of the life history of the codling moth and Introduction of spray for Its con trol.
