In addition the coast and geod etic survey of the department of commerce must discontinue its supplementary control survey em ploying around 15,030 men. These orders would cover a to tal ot 263,582 men, but it was said at the civil works adminis tration that in some instances fed eral projects would be continued and some of the men kept in em ployment. 500,000 Work Xow on Federal Projects The civil works administration originally planned to allot 1,000, 000 men to federal projects but found it necessary to reduce this number to 500,000. Commitments were made for the period ending February 15 and some of the pro jects hare been completed. Congressional action on" the 3950,000,000 appropriation bill was completed when the senate receded from its demand that ap pointments of state civil works and relief administrators be con firmed by it and a motion to re consider previous action in ap proving a partial conference re port Was defeated. In an interview given before he went to New York today, Hopkins said he believed that "unemploy ment insurance, plus some sched ule of work support insurance, is much better than relief." Glenn C. Niles, CWA adminis trator, was uninformed officially last night regarding the contin uance of civil works projects in Marion county, he said. Early this week he advised CWA crews to report on their jobs when the reg ular new shift would begin, in case orders are bad by that time to proceed with the work.

Growing flax Is not "hard on the land" was the assurance given by George R. Hyslop, farm crops specialist at the state college. In a talk before the Rotary dab yes terday. "It is no harder than growing wheat or oats or barley. It was flax wilt which cut down production in northwestern states rather than soli exhaustion which gave flax the bad reputation of being hard on land," Hyslop said. Despite the vicissitudes of past experiments with flax growing In the valley, Hyslop declared it is practical, though he said addition al tariff protection was needed. It must be made a free industry, outside of the state prison and processing plants should be locat ed carefully. It la also necessary to separate fiber flax growing from seed flax as the problems are different. Beet Soils Surveyed The best soils in the valley for fiber flax are the Chehalis series, "second bottom" lands of which there are 211,715 acres in the valley. Next rank the Willamette series with 351.680 acres. Close to the Willamette series la tha better grade soils of the Amity series with 277,568 acres, show ing a great area of land suitable for growing fiber flax. The essen tial thing, Hyslop declared. Is a soil which can be worked early because fiber flax requires early planting. The state college introduced JWS seed which has proven a suc cess and now has strains better than JWS. "Oregon seed is equal to or superior to foreign seed," he said. " Needed now are cheapening the harvesting of the straw and cheap ening the retting and scutching proeess, particularly to reduce the time between the straw stage and the fiber stage In the process. The present pullers will not work un til the straw Is over-mature for finest grades of flax, so hand pull ing for the best grades is required. With 40 to 100 million dollars worth of linen goods Imported an nually the domestic market Is vast and inviting. Regarding the government project, he said that the money seemed to be earmark ed for the linen Industry but de tails were not completed. GETS 6-YEAR SENTENCE PORTLAND.

Box 40S, Btatanaa, in HI AIRWAY PIE CUT IN SEMI CllliYi (Coaitaott from pg 1) ton in which the air routes alleg edly were divided up. Many Lines Said to Have Been Ignored. At the time the Watres act, the air mall subsidy law, was passed in 1930, Farley said, there were "many reasonably well established air transport passenger lines de sirous of obtaining air mail con tracts, which received no consid eratlon whatever." In addition to the charge that the combination of companies to prevent bids was Illegal, Farley also called "illegal" the extension of five contracts beyond their nor mal date of expiration. These ex tensions to expiration date, h e said, were made by an order Is sued by the former second assist ant postmaster general, W. Irving Glover. 'There was," Farley wrote, "no attempt whatever to readvertise said routes or to reaward them, or emergency requiring them to be let without competitive bidding and the course pursued was a part of the conspiracy hereinafter men tioned. Buildup of Lines ,. . Explained by Farley. "Extension of these contracts for a period of ten years, under the so-called certificate' method, were arbitrarily made by Post master General Brown on May 3, 1930. Then Postmaster General Brown proceeded to build up, by the so-called 'extensions' of routes, part of the system ot the United Aircraft and Transport corpora' tion, and the greater part of the American Airways and the Trans continental and Western Air sys terns. This means, in simple terms. that if one of these companies had a contract for part ot a through route, a transcontinental system could be built on that short line. These great systems were built In that manner." 'Farley declared that "Indeed, certain air transport operators who had not been invited to at tend" the meeting at which the agreement for dividing up the routes was reached "were refused admission when they attempted to gain entrance." Some of the meetings held f n May and June of 1930, Farley said, occurred In the postoffice department and were attended by Brown and Glover. William P. MacCracken, sentenced tonight to ten days in Jail for contempt of the senate, was said by Farley to hare been named chairman of the meetings. TWO FARMS SOLD SILVERTON, Feb. 14.
