the finest of the fiber vuriettes pro-1
duce so little seed as to be of alight
consequence in this copneity.
Heed flax is uminlly short to med
ium in height and has numerous
branched bearing a large number of
bolls. Fiber flax, on' the other' hand,
is usually tall with few branches and
thus few seed balls. The fromer
type uses most of its energy in the
production of seed whilo the latter
type is limited In seed production,
but develops a long straw which con
tains the fiber. It fs desirable, there
fore, to get god flax varieties of
the type you expect to ue.
Cool Climate Boat
Flax thrives in ,a moist cool cli
mate. Kxcessive heat and drought
lire not conductive to a large yield of
good flnx, especially for fiber. A
long, cool, moist, grow lug season
with n good, dry period for harvest
is nn ideal condition for (he culture
of this crop, f j
Flax for seed thrivse best only on
noils Hint am rich in available fer
tility. While the crop growa with
fair success on a great ninny soils
that ore only medium fertile, yet the
largest yields of seed are secured
on soils thnt are well supplied with
plant food. Good spring grain laud
will usually grow good flax.' ,
Many people consider flax a crop
that is injurious to the land. This!
jden is unfounded. Flax is not hnrd ,
on the soil. v . I

It should then be raked over and
spread out to dry. After an hour
or two it should he raked over again
continuing at intervals of three or
four hours until ft is dried out. This
raking over is to prevent the sticking
together of the flax seed. If the
aecd is made so wet that it sticks to
gether, and is allowed to dry in that!
fashion,, it is practically impossible
to get It into suitable condition for
sowing, nn many seeds are damaged
in breaking them apart nnd there are
small lumps left which do not feed
through the drill uniformly.
Flax should be sown 'as soon as
the ground works well and the
weather is warm enough for prompt
germination. In normal years. April
1 to 15 is a good date for seeding,
although flax on soil that has been
plowed early and kept wvli worked
and free from weeds has been very
successful in moist seasons whrf
seeded even ns Into as June.
Mangel Beets Good
Instead of Kale
Foultrynvri of AVestern Oregon
are learning the value of mangel
beets as a kale substitute as the re
sult of the severe weather the last
two winters. If beets are fed oc
casionally during the fall the birds
lenrn to eat them readily in case the
kale freezes. While not so good ns
kale, beets as succulent feed are rec
ommended by station authorities.

Farm Reminders
If clover sod land which is to be
used for potatoes is plowed early
and shallow, the clover roots will
have time to decay. The land can
be turned up deeper two or three
weeks before planting. A 50 bushel
increase to the acre with potatoes
has been realized with this method
in O. A. C. experiments.
After cultivation begins, the land
that is wet nnd. late can be easily
recognized. Then is the most favor

Your Dental Bill
This picture shows missing and decayed teeth as
commonly happens in neglected mouths
Bridge work is the best wav of replacing missing
teeth or teeth that are too baily decayed to hold fill
ings or crowns. Because you have lost one or more,
it will not be necessary for you to wear a plate.- AVe
can make nn attachment to the good adjoining teeth
and replace tho missing tenth without requiring you
to wear a plate. The bridged teeth are fastened solid
in your mouth; you cannot take them out. Very often
Ihe'y will last a lifeime, and will look as naural as your
own teeth.
