Flax Crop Failure Is Denied
By State Board of Control
Salem — Member* of the State Board
o f Control aaaert that an article in a
daily paper last week saying that the
flaxraising work being conducted by
the state promised to be a failure and
that they were dissatisfied with J. C.
Cady, in charge o f the flax plant at
the penitentiary, was untrue.
Both
Governor Withycombe and
State Treasurer Kay declared that the
work so far had been satisfactory, and
Secretary of State Olcott said that
with the experiment uncompleted it
was too early to predict the outcome
A ll three members of the board said
they had not considered asking Cady to
appear before them for an explanation
o f his conduct of the flax work.
"Indications now seem to point to a
success of the flaxraising industry,"
said Governor Withycombe. "W h ere
we had only figured on obtaining 500
tons of straw, we have harvested 600
tons. W e have threshed out nearly
3000 bushels of seed and should realize
$6000 from this source alone. Whether
it is best to ret the flax in the winter
or wait until spring is a question yet
to be determined.”
State Treasurer Kay pronounced the
daily’ s story as absolutely without
foundation.
“ It may be that the flax can be
retted best in the spring,” said Kay,
“ so as to permit the scotching process
without the employment of artificial
heat. That is to be determined.”
Fruit Forces Differ In
Manner of Apple Publicity
Hood R iver— W hile a marked oppo
■ition was apparent among the apple-
growers and market men o f the Spo
kane fru it district, opinion as ex
pressed by fruit growers from all parts
of the Northwest presages an adoption
next January of the proposed plans of
the Growers’ Council as recently out
lined, according to E. H. Shepard, of
this city, who returned from confer
ences o f apple men at the Spokane
National Apple Show last week.
It is proposed to levy an assessment
o f one cent a box on all fru it to raise a
fund to be used in opening up new ap
ple markets, widening distribution and
increasing consumption.
It is esti
mated that such a levy will collect a
fund of more than $75,000 with which
to wage an apple publicity campaign.
No one district w ill be featured, but
all Northwestern box apples w ill be
given the benefit o f the fund impar
tially.
“ The Spokane fruitm en,” says Mr.
Shepard, “ are apparently opposed to
the proposition, since they think it
will be better for all districts to con
duct their forward campaigns individ
ually.”
N o definite action was taken at the
Spokane conference, which was in a
measure informal.
Tentative plans
were discussed and it was le ft with
the exponents o f the movement to
work out more complete details, to be
submitted at the second annual meet
ing of the council in January.
The codling moth caused damage
ranging from 10 to 60 per cent, and
even higher in cases, in Northwestern
orchards. Dr. Melander declared that
weather conditions were more favor
able this year than ever on any former
year for the breeding o f moths, and
that more than ever before the insecta
had survived the winter o f last year.
