Recovery Steps Token by
State Flax and Linen Board
By C. K. LOGAN
Another step in the recovery and development of the flax in
dustry of the state has been taken by the Oregon flax and linen
board with a new set-up providing for uniform field Inspections
and sampling, appointment of a full-time flax technician and
generally placing the industry under long-range planning opera
Upon request of the state flax
board, flax investigators of the
agricultural experiment station
at Oregon State college present
ed a broad plan which has met
with the approval of the board.
The general purpose is to en
courage the production of more
and better fiber than was grown
under the old plan which was
based solely on height and
weight of straw regardless of
fiber quantity or quality.
Under the new plan there will
be a uniform system of field
inspection and sampling, plant
processnig, fiber quality deter
mination and certification. Fac
tors to be checked in fiber qual
ity determination Include
length, strength, fineness, color
and absence of rust.
Bethel Local
Has Birthday
Bethel, March 11 Twenty
years ago this month Bethel local
of the Oregon Farmers Union
was organized. It was the first
local in Marion county. There
were nine men and their wives as
charter members. Five of the
men were present at the March
meeting, James Lauderback, Ar
thur Schulz, Roy Marchand,
Warren Creech and Arno Spran
ger. Received into membership at
the March meeting were Mr. and
and Mrs. R. F. Watson, Route 6,
and Mr. and Mrs. John Fclds
chaw. Route 5. Warren Creech
initiated the group. Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Schmitz, Route 6,
were received ' into the Bethel
membership by transfer from
Salem local.
Funds from the pie social held
In February were given equally
to the national and to the state
organizations and $10 extra was
voted from the treasury for the
work of the state. Mrs. Ralph
Wilson was songleader and Mrs.
Arthur Schulz was at the piano.
Cornelius Bateson, Walter
Baker and Roy Marchand re
ported on the state convention
Warren Creech gave the report
of the F. U. Auto Insurance Co,
and Arno Sprangcr told of the
cooperative annual meeting. Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Perlich and Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Klug served at
the close of the well attended
meeting.
At the February meeting slate
guests will be John Bolengcr,
manager of the coop, and Mrs.
Evelyn Sainsbury, state junior
leader. These will lead singing,
play accompaniments, and give
talks on their lines of work.
The technician will help grow
ers of the stale with their pro
duction problems and will also
work with the farm crops de
partment at the experiment sta
tion.
Flax officials see another ad
vantage in the change in that
the unified processing and grad
ing standards will allow central
lzefl marketing and will also
help in the collection of infor
mation that will be helpful to
the industry in planning long-
range operation.
A uniform advance payment
will also be made to the grow
ers annually as set by process
ing plant managers prior to
harvest.
The plan was prepared by J
D. Sather, former federal fiber
crop specialist at the college and
Don W. Fishier, present USDA
specialist working on flax, pro
duction problems. It is pattern
ed after a general outline pro
posed by E. G. Nelson, formerly
in charge of the flax breeding
project at the station.

Mill Operates
Double Shift
Independence The Indepen
dence Lumber and Manufactur
ing company saw mill, which has
been shut down for the past two
months with the exception of a
short period early in January,
has reopened, and is now operat
ing on two full shifts.
The shut-down was due to a
shortage of logs. The extreme
cold weather and the closing of
roads cut off the supply of logs
for the mill. The logs started
coming into the mill Tuesday
afternoon after the state high
way department opened a half
mile of road from the Maxfield
Creek school to the old Kings
Valley highway corner which
leads to Hoskins.
The reopening of the mill pro
vides work for about 200 men
living in this vicinity. People
in this community were glad to
hear the whistle, the hum of the
big saws and the buzz of the
planers as work was resumed.

These are days o many and serious world problems, which
America cannot ignore. Cold war, strikes, revolution, conflict are
the phrases that make today's headlines.
Numerous are the theories advanced for solving these problems.
Statesmen, economists, and diplomats have tried and failed to
achieve their goal of world peace.
But there is another force at work that promises greater success.
This is the power of love, fellowship, and understanding and it
takes its banner under the name of Christianity.
On Sunday, March 12, Christians the nation over will gather
together to pool their wealth, talents, and faith in ONE GREAT
HOUR OF SHARING. Only through such united efforts as this
can the world come to know the peace that it desires.
Come to Church this Sunday morning and share with others the
peace and security that you know will come from Christian living
and Christian faith.
