The volume of business in Cash and future Oats was the smallest recorded for a Long time Tho Trade showing Little tendency to commit themselves and the biggest part of the Trade was of an evening up character.

Wed ionic. Berry Andrews 10.3o Clemson Williams 0.30 a a thursday. Charles Thornton of the Winnipeg Exchange who is recognized As an authority on the flax situation has the following 10 say on Why this is a Good year in his opinion to seed flax the rather alarming manner a which Winter has stayed with us in Western Canada this year is disquieting to growers of Grain and is creating considerable doubt As to the. Wisdom of carrying through previously arranged rotations. It is. A rather Suro thiner that Middle of May will find very consider Able areas of unseeded land in All the three Prairie provinces and the owners thereof will be confronted with the problem of what to seed it to and. The answer will not be altogether a matter of Choice. Where a Choice is permitted by such matters As availability seed and adaptability of the land it is my opinion that flaxseed promises a sure crop. Not saying that this might not also be True Oats and Barley it should be remembered that present High prices of these grains Are duo to the serious crop losses of 1319 in the u.s., where the areas to these two crops is so Largo that a eight differ once in yield per acre is the difference Between Scarcity and plenty. Flax shortage on the other hand there is no pos sible Chance of a flax area that will produce a crop in excess of United Spates and Canadian requirements. This i emphasize too strongly since october 1, 1919, a. Period of seven the United states has sent to Argentine More than 000 in Gold Coin to pay for its importations of flaxseed and the end is not yet every Dollar of that us could and should have come to Western Canada and at prevailing Exchange would have Here. I am often asked How late can. Flax be seeded. The answer to this depends entirely or. August and Early september weather. Last year i had a 100 acre Patch of flax that was 70 Days Between Drill and reaper. The season was exceptional but then every Man who a Sod and plants seed is a Speculator. These things Are True of flax sup plies Are Low demand is great culture is simple prices Are High profits Are Olg. It can be grown on new breaking or clean land. Late seeding flax is the one Best bet for late seeding. Cultural methods and Machin Ery Are identical with those used for other cereals. Recent practice in North Damota is toward Light seeding and the nor i Dakota agricultural College re commends 15 to 18 ibs. To the acre. This is a Natter that would largely depend on the seed itself. If the seed available is Large and plump and Pieritz of it it would be Well to use 25 to 2s ibs. To the acre. If seed is Small and scarce a smaller Quantity would prob ably produce As Good results. In any event the Cost of seed per acre would be less than that of Oats or Barley about fall prices there has been to time since 1914 when prospective Grain prices were obscured by so Many doubt Ful factors. I Havo no opinion beyond relative prices of wheat Oats and Barley with flaxseed will be at least As favourable As flaxseed us now with chances of their being still More favo set fire to vessel Montreal policeman admits being hired to Burn Swilp.
