Undoubtedly the mistakes la
the past the errors In Jdfcn
which brought on the $20.e0
to 2200,005 deficit In the flax
Industry came from a laudable
desire to- see farmers
maximum price possible for their
--- mA iim from Inability
to forsee the world-wide slumps In
commodity prices, which j would
fore fibre down to le f"
heard ot in. recent years. Bout
errors were errora of Judgment,
excusable- on . the basis of good
Intent and lack of knowledge ot
world conditions, a lack whlcn
proved equally as disastrous in a
acoro of commodity situations.
One question remain unan
swered how ean the state guar
antee Price to the Producer?
The answer based on the light
of experience I "it cant At
least it cannot guarantee the to
tal price. The staU may well
provide a. minimum per ton for
flax contract tor a specified
"u - .,. i.tr in tho Tear
receive the flax and disburse the
minimum guarantee- and then ae
termtne the balance of the price j
paid to tho producer when the
finished: crop i sold. .
Unquestionably flax growers in
the Willamette valley will rebel
at such a enggestloa.
tlonably it is much less favorable
than the basis carried on here-,
tofore. "But equally certain, some
sriTO-and-take-basls must be put
tnto practice It tne r"""J -not
to undergo frequent periods
f financial suicide.
. j . . nT rrAWllf ltd
processing business to Its most
simple terms and you find but
three factors involved in making
hminMj a success. They are
1. Price of raw pulled flax.
t. Cost per ten of processing
n8T Market price bUInable.
If en and two added together
are not raoro than three, the in
dustry will succeed. If one or
two added together exceed three,
the Industry will lose money.
It behooves the grower ot flax
to constder It he is not in danger
of killing the Industry by not
accepting some' give and take In
flax contract prices. .
Is .now uncertain, and is surely
susceptible to reduction. Nevertheless-
there will come a period
where barring new processes, the
cost of handling a ton ot flax
and the average yield of fibre
mo. tA MB tA fairlv well deter
mined. Item two therefore will
become a constant item. Item
three, market price, cannot be
controlled In Oregon. Our crop
ts so small a traction of the
world's flax crop, the price we
aet, irrespective of world price,
would be as Ineffective as build
ing a sand house on the beach
in the path ot Incoming waves.
The state must take Its chances,
subject to an aggressive sales
one .is ' therefore the only other
Item susceptible to change. It
that Is fixed if the state con
tracts to pay a aeimue amount
for flax, irrespective of the mar
ket a factor it cannot know 20
to 24 months in advance, only a
Vuwm waviaVa uri euv jra aw w
manufactured flax products can
save tho industry from loss. And
such a continuous advance Is not
