There good reasons why flax and other un- familiar crops have not been grown extensively before in but their possibilities might well be looked into, says County Agent R Blaney Flax fiber is a rather highly spec- alized crop for which a huge amount of processing machinery is required within easy hauling distance. For high quality fiber, labor, and familiarity with the crop is needed. The seed of fiber flax varieties is scarce A cool, moist season is essential to a good yleld and high quality and weeds ruin the crop Experiments with fiber flax at State College have been dis- COUraging Flax seed production is less come plicated. However the census shows that in the last 30 years the flax seed | acreage In Pennsylvania never has exceeded 100 acres with yields from three to ten bushels per acre de- pending on the season. Most of the flax seed produced in this country comes from the more northerly sec- tions, such as the Dakotas and Min- nesota Some has been recently grown as far south and east as In- diana where the Experiment Station reports, “Yields as high as 20 bush- els per acre, with an average yield of approximately six bushels per acre.” A cool, fairly moist season is need- for satisfactory flax yields. Hot, dry weather before matumty means mall crops A fairly fertile loam soll, retentive of moisture and free of weeds Is required. Since the crop starts slowly, weeds are a problem Any amount of weeds hinders com- bining Flax has about the same length of growing season as oats. It is sown early in the spring at the rate of three pecks per acre on a well pre- pared seed bed Early seeding is permit ripening before weather, but a severe late frost may damage the young plants The crops may be harvested with a binder when three-fourths of the seed balls have turned brown. Com- bining must be delayed two or three weeks. Equipment must be tight or the small slip pery seed will be lost Experienced thresher adjustment is Necessary Flax take the place of oat n the rotation if grown in Pen Being a good nurse crop and grass js the only ge of flax over soybeans wld produce wut the ed irable to dry des hot nsvl- for ad. for Near clover beans the y bu seed. 5o) ield at shel Wh Iv twice ab ame NEW YORK WILL DO AWAY WITH AUTO LICENSE PLATES New York State motorists, who in 1042, received but one new auto license plate instead of the custo- mary two, in 1843, will receive no new plates at all, #t was announced by Flovd M.
