PRODUCE IRE FLAK Fortland, Ore., Nov. 10, (Special) One of the industries in Oregon which has an opportunity to make a special growth at this time, owing to war conditions in Europe, is the flax industry. Dr. E. A. Pierce, chairman of the Oregon flax com mittee, has recently written to the promotion department of the Port land Commercial Club inviting its participation in this movement. H calls attention to the fact that the known flax area of the world is com paratively small; that under present conditions it is unlikely that any con siderable amount of flax will be raised in Belgium, Ireland or Russia and that it will devolve upon the Uni ted States to furnish the greater part of the fiber needed within the next few years. It is well known that the Willamette valley and other parts of Oregon can produce flax fiber equal to the very best European product and he believes that this is Oregon's opportunity to attract the attenion of the world by hr flax production In the vicinity of Salem it has been demonstrated that one acre of flax will produce from 500 to 600 pounds of clean fiber which at present prices would make this crop as profitable as anything the farmers can raise Within the last few days steps have been taken to build an electric line between Astoria and Seaside. It is believed that the necessary right of way can be secured practically without cost and that work oi the line will be commenced within a short time. work has been commenced on a canning plant at Houlton. The last few years has seen- such a remark able increase in the out-put of fruits and vegetables in that territory that some means of taking care of the surplus has become imperative.
