To encourage tho raising of flax fiber
a letter has been issued by tho Commer

hundreds of farmers in this section.
Tho letter states that a market is assur
ed for tho fiber, as the state will buy
all tho flax straw that is delivored in
good shapo at tho penitentiary und will
pay a fair price. Quoting Governor
Withycombe, tho lotter says, J'lOcr
flax is a most desirable and profilibii
