There is no question about the quality of the flax produced in western Oregon which compares favorably with any in the ! world. The state has probably 500 tons of flax straw which is us fine as that i grown anywhere in tho world. It is not I the intention to produce tho highest grade of flax on account of the ex I pense. It would cost from $50,000 to I $75,000 to establish the most modern ! system of tank retting.

Chicago Buyer Says Sheep and Wool To Sell At Top Prices Pendleton, Ore., Dec. 3. That prices for sheep and wool will be as high or higher next spring than last spring wns the statement made by C. H. Shurte, of Chicago, probably the biggest sheep buyer in the country. This winter there aro 500,000 less sheep being fed in the United States than a year ago, he says, and the shortage will tend to elevate prices. There will bo a particular shortage in yearlings. In tho mutton trnfle there has been a shortage of 2,000,000 head for slaughter during the year, and this shortage, he says, was due to a senricity of sheep and not to the sliipment!i abroad. Mr. Shurte is a member of the Knollin Sheep commission of Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Kansas City and St. Joseph, through whose houses 85 per cent of tho western sheep pos when sold to eastern markets.
