Europeans are, of course, he explains, generations ahead in flax . knowledge. But Americans, if they will, can profit by the experiments carried on ov er these generations of time. Add this to the knowledge of flax be ing gained here - together with modern machinery,- and America has a good chance to compete. while there is some very good flax machinery in Belgium and France, Lentschner told our party while we were being shown through the Santiam plant, there I no more efficient or better made machinery than that being made right here In Oregon. Good Machinery "Some of the most perfect flax machinery I have everseen, he explained, "has come right out of Oregon City. It is perfect" j The most convenient way of ar ranging the plant, the most mod em machinery with every labor' .saving device and the newest processing methods are very im portant, the manager believes. But he adds that most important ! of all, is ,the growth of good flax. "Not only the grower, but the processor .must learn that It does n't pay to run through poor flax," the French-born - manager said. The grower should find out first If he has flax ground, If he hasn't then he should grow grass or aheep or anything else, but no flax. Then he must learn to un derstand flax, have his ground in good shape, as free from weeds as possible, and harvest it when it is convenient for the flax and not fust for himself. It la better to pull it on the green side than the over-ripe side. Over-ripe flax does not clean properly and loses weight As a result the fiber does not clean properly, and therefore Is placed in grade B, which means less money. It Isn't necessary to have flax 38 or even 34 inches long. Very often flax which is 28 Inches long win be richer ia fiber than longer flax, but it is defi tutely not a paying proposition to Orclisatdists to 1SV!'?1S See ISfumjffg central point At present it Is be- Mf1 the large crowd. process flax under 30 Inches.
