On May IMth members ofThe Naomi itirclo will entertain the eeuernl hi- I dies aid society with a delightful pro- i gramme and sivial afternoon at the I Methodist cinirch. Fit different from the report of an ordinary committee was that rmi by W. M. Hamilton relative to the flax industry at the monthly meeting of the Commercial club Wednesday even ing of this week. For this report war, of more vital interest to the future of Salem than any report eve- read, as it told of the first year's efforts to eetiblish the flax industry in Oregon, with Salem as the district in- which flax was first raised. In order to establish the industry, the idea was conceived of securing state aid in the purchase of m icnin ery and "of using the inmates of the penitentiary for the pulling of the V. ix and working of the machinery. With thig in view, tho governur and legislators were interested and as a result, according Ho the report, the legislature made an approprisriii for the establishment of a flax plane at the penitentiary and authorized tho Board of Control to take the ne;ossa-y stcpi'to establish the industry. Before the Board ef Control would take any action, they required that contracts be signed by farmers agree ing to plant and raise sufficient num ber of acres of flax to assure enough raw material to keep the phut busy and justify its construction. Tiie Com mercial club sort men into.th" coun try and secured the 'signing of con tracts necessary, whereupon the Board instnlled the plant at the penitontia-y. Plant at the Prison This plant is located in one of the brick, buildings formerly- used :ti a stove foundry, 110 feet wide ind 210 feet lone, and the machinery installed is as follows: 1 flax dricT. ' 12 threshing machines. 6 flax seed cleaners. 10 breakers. 40 scutching wheels. 20 sets of hackles. 2 baling presses. About 100 men are engaged in oper ating tho plant and about 25 .no-e are in tne field. .Last year more ..than 300 icio wore planted "in flax, according to the re port, and this amount will be .-.ally doubled this year.' As farmers have now had one year's experience, it is estimated that the out put will moro than double that of one., year ago. In othor words, the second yeir ef the flax industry will be more than tiouhle that of the first ftad experimental year. Another fact that will produce bet ter results the second year, is that the men in the penitentiary had to be taught the work with the machinery, while next year, the sime men easily handlo almost double the material of one year aeo. Values or FTOduct According to tho report, the prod ucts of the flax straw and minimum values of the present stock at the penitentinry are as follows: Flax seed at $1.50 a bnshel. Upholstering tow at $00 i ton. No. 1 tow at $240 a ton. No. 2 tow at $200 a ton. Hackled flax, worth $400 a ton.

ELDERLY WOMEN SAFEGUARDED Tell Others How They Were Carried Safely Through Change of Life. Durand, Wis. "I am tho mother of fourteen children and I owe my life to Lydia E. I'mkham o Vegetable Com' pound. When I was 45 and had the Change of Life, a friend recom mended it and it gave me such relief from my bad feel ings that 1 took several bottles. I am now well and healthy and recom mend your Compound to other ladiea." Mra. Mary Ridcway, Durand, Wis. A Massachusetts WomanWritew Blackstone, Masa. "My troubles were from my age, and I felt awfully sick for three years. I had hot flashes often and frequently aufferod from pains. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and now am well." Mrs. J'lERRK COL'RNOYKR, Box 239, Blackstone, Mass. Such warning symptoms aa sense of sufTocation.hot flashee.hendaehes.back ches.dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu larities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and diaxinesa, should be heeded by middle-aged women. Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has carried many women safely through this crisis, and 5G,000 pounds sold to the rortland Linseed Oil company. The Board of Control his been of fered $M0 a ton for hackled fiber. This price is much above the aver ago, on acount of the war in Europe. In Ontario, Canada, farmers are quite willing to grow flax at a price of $12.50 a ton for first quality dried straw. The state of Oregon, in order to encourige farmers to grow tlax guarantees to pay $15 a ton at the penitentiary, and to furnish labor free tor the pulling of the flax. Cost Here and in East In the east, $li per acre is paid for pulling flax or $3 a ton on the basis of two tons to the acre. On the basis of receiving $12.50 a ton, ifter deduct ing $.1 tor pulling, tho eastern iarnicrs net $9.50 a ton, compared to the $1." a ton offered by the state. One ton of flax straw costing the state $15, produces as follows, after going through the machinery in the penitentiary plant: 5 bushels of seed nt $2 a bushel. 100 pounds of tow fiber worth 15 cents a pound. 100 pounds of line fiber worth no cents a pound. Thus with its labor costing nothing, the stvte will realize $55 from each ton of flax straw. Deducting the cost of the straw, $15, the net profit is $40 a ton. figuring on the present hi ';h prices of flax products, which will continue high for several years, as Russia and Belgium have issued ord ers forbidding the exportation of any raw flax materials. The present plant in the pen will be able to handle ibout 4,000 tons of flax a year and when the inmates be come more efficient in handling the machinery, it will require from 11100 to 2000 acres of flax to keep the plant busy. Some General Information As to the character of soil, thj com mitttee recommends any good grain soil, but especially good loam with a clay subsoil. Eighty to ninety pounds of fiber flax seed should be sown to tluj acre. The planting should be done as soon as the frosts are over, and 80 to 90 days are required for the straw to ma ture, bringing harvesting time about July 1. The state has been selling seed to the farmers for $1.50 a bushel, or abont two nnd three quirter sents a pound. The general opinion of experts is that flax should be pulled ami that it -hnuUl be pool retted. The committee making this report, consisting of V. f. llnmilton, .Tos IT.
