garden spot of the valley. J. R.

acreage of potatoes and C. M.

U sold commercially. Early veg

jonquils, violet, primroses, cro

staking a big splash of color in
flower beds.
Much Seeding Done
LYONS, Feb. 21. Farmers In
this vicinity are taking all ad
vantage ot the gcod weather
which has prevailed the past three
weeks, aside from a few sudden
ahowers. Lots of the seeding is
done and practically all the land
not sowed is plowed.
Flax Planting Next

bare been planted lately, also
gladioli and chrysanthemums and
other flowers, and some cherry

MAY GROW
Farmers who are planning to
plant flax this year, and indica
tions are that a considerably lar
ger acreage than last year will be
harvested, will pay about 75 per
cent more for seed than last year,
one seed dealer reports. The flax
seed is selling now around $1.90
per bushel, f. o. b. Portland or
about $68 a ton, while last year it
was $1.10 a bushel, the same
basis.
Salem Seed and Implement
company yesterday received the
following information on the ilax
market from Archer-Daniels-Midland
company at Portland:
"Last year's domestic crop of
6.750,000 bushels was one of the
smallest on record, with the world
crop also below average, conse
quently available supplies have
been closely consumed. With gen
eral condition improving, it is ex
pected that paint consumption
will increase materially, which
means that linseed oil will be in
increased demand.
"More foreign grown flaxseed
has already been imported into
the United States this season than
for any similar period since the
depression started, all subject to
65c per bushel duty, and It is es
timated that this country could
safely plant at least a million
acres, or 55 to 60 per cent more
flax this year than was planted
in 1933, without danger of dis
tributing the benefits which this
65c tariff protection affords the
American grower. Land taken out
of wheat production under the al
lotment arrangement cannot be
sown to flax, and flax must there
fore find Its way to new land.
"Altogether we feel that this Is
an opportune year for growers in
the Pacific northwest to increase
their flaxseed acreage, and the
outlook seems exceptionally
bright. Cost of seed per acre runs
about the same as for other grain
crops, and no special equipment
is needed. Flax as a general rule
grows successfully anywhere that
spring wheat is grown, although
it also succeeds in districts where
little or no spring wheat Is raised
Normally it is a dry-farming crop,
but it is also being rapidly Intro
duced in various Irrigated dis
tricts, where It is proving very
successful. We have this year a
complete write-up covering the
growing of this crop under irri
gation. We also have other flax
growing bulletins and literature
available without obligation on
request Flax is mostly sown in
April."

John and Margaret Larson. The

duction of a more serious order

AURORA, Feb. 21. The Au
rora community ciub presented
speakers from the University of
Oregon at a meeting for the pub
lic in this and surrounding towns
interested in the subject of tax
ation. President Melvin H. Ev
ans introduced Ernest Cole, whose

Further Cuts for
Employment Staff
Here this Weekend
Elimination of two helpers in
the office of the Marion county
reemployment service here is
planned this weekend, according
to Earl Caufield, regional super
visor, who was here Wednesday.
Caufield reported that orders
from Washington called for cut
ting the service down coincident
with reductions in the number of
CWA workers employed.
Next weekend, according to
Caufield's proposal, the position
of manager held by E. T. Barnes,
will be vacated and only D. D.
Dotson, office manager, and Lois
Barker, clerical helper, will be
maintained here. This change,
however, is not fully determined
upon, depending how much work
remains for the office here.
Support of the reemployment
offices in the state on a 50-50
basis by the federal government
and counties and cities, is being
sought for as of May 1.
A Bible, printed by the Elzevir
printing house of Leyden in 1663,
was on exhibition at the state li
brary yesterday. Itls tho property
of Mrs. Bea- Lane of Manzanita,
coming toiler by "descent from an
ancestor who was court pastor in
Holland In the latter part of the
17th century. The book Is 12 in
ches wide by 19 deep, and is eight
inches thick. The binding is solid
boards covered with leather bear
ing hand-tooled designs.
The type is old Caslon, with
decorative Initials. The title page
is in two colors, red and black.
The book is well preserved and
the printing is very good although
the paper is showing the brown
of age. The book bears the im
print of the design of the old
house of Elzevir which flourished
in Holland during the 17th cen
tury, and has the imprimatur of
"John Elzevier."
This edition of the Dutch Bible
is not one of the most famous of
the books printed by the Elzevier
press, not as beautiful as some
other old Bibles of the early print
ers, but it is a valuable example
of the early art of printing and
binding.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-ff)
-Poultrymen ot the Pacific slope
sought changes in the proposed
regional code covering marketing
of poultry and eggs in the hear
ing held here today by federal au
thorities. The hearing was con
cluded. The code was changed in minor
respects by the representatives of
the AAA and NRA, and some ot
these changes brought complaints
from marketing agencies. Most of
the protests centered around lim
iting the work week to 40 hours.
This provision, the marketers
said, would probably strike back
at tbe producers in the form of
lower prices for their eggs and
poultry. Some spokesmen for the
dealers argued tor a 48 -hour
week.
The matter of hours was held
up in a different light. It was
pointed out poultry and egg pri
ces are too low to permit the in
dustry to absorb heavy additions
to operating costs. Wages were
set at $16 a week minimum for
office help, and the same for fac
tory, manual and mechanical em
ployes in cities of 250,000 or over,
smaller cities would be allowed
a $14.50 rate.
Enforcement of the code is pro
vided in a board of 20 members.
two from each district. The dis
tricts are southern California,
northern and central California,
Oregon, western Washington,
eastern Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah, Nevada and Arizona.
Each of these districts will
have a local committee of seven
members for administrative pur
poses. The AAA and NRA may be rep
resented on the code authority by
a non-voting member each, one to
be appointed by the secretary of
agriculture and one by the NRA
administrator.

Row Maple Trees
is Sacrificed as
Sidewalk Menace
MT. ANGEL, Feb. 21. The
row of maple trees fronting St.
Mary's public school are being
cut down and the, roots grubbed
out. The trees have stood there
for any years, giving pleasant
shade and adding much to the ap
pearance of the school and street,
and it seems a great pity that
they must be sacrfiiced.
It was decided, nevertheless,
that they must be dug out, as
the roots were cracking the ce
ment sidewalks and would even
tually break them up completely.
Work on the trees was begun
Monday and will probably be
completed in another day or so.
