Acres For 1936 The state flax plant will show a sizeable profit for its operations ending June 30, 1938. L. L. Laws, director, stated yesterday. While the plant has not; been able to operate to capacity during the past winter due to a shortage in flax available for processing. Laws said two-third operations had been maintained with the market for the fibre produced a strong one. - t Laws said all losses on over valued flax held by the state when the depression started had long since been charged oft. Add ed to this factor are large reduc tions in the cost of insurance and a wiping out of interest charges on the state's advances, all tend ing to make a better operating statement for the flax depart ment. . 1400 Acres Handled . The estimated acreage to be handled by the state flax depart ment this season is 1400 acres and the outlook for the crop of flax this year is excellent, Mr. Laws commented. While a much larger planting was put out in 1936, the extremely small yield left the state with empty storage space and will not provide enough straw lo keep, the retting plants busy until the new 193S crop comes in. Mr. Laws estimates that an equivalent amount of flax will be raised for the three new coopera tive plants, with 600 acres put ia for the Mt. Angel plant, 00 acres put in for the Mt. Angel plant, 600 acres for the plant near Molalla and approximately 200 acres for the plant at Springfield. The state flax plant is co operating to the full with the new plants and will release its acreage, where necessary, in order to give an adequate supply of flax to the cooperative plants.
