FLAX A VALUABLE CROP
The flex crop of Canada bas come
into prominence more than ever this
year on account of the losses of the
flax fields in Europe. Forty-four per
cent of the world's supply of this
valuable fibre plant was produced in
couutries now at war. As a result
there have been an enormous shrink
age in the world's supply of flax dup.
ing the year 1916. Prices of the fibre
have more than doubled during the
past year and spinning mills are great.
ly concerned for their future supply
of raw material.
From the days of the earliest settle.
went fl.x hue been grown• along the
Se Lawrence and in Western Ontario
and spun into home-made linen. Of
late years, however, this erop has not
been popular with farmers, it being
claimed that it is particularly hard on
the land Scientific investigation does
not bear out this theory. Flax is a
quick growing, sutface feeding crop,
and as each, draws heavily from the
available plant food of the upper six
inches of the soil. An average crop
of flax, however, does not take as
much total plant food from the soil
as an average crop of she deeper root-
ed cereals, such as wheat, oats and
barley. This fact bas been established
beyond a doubt by investigational
work carried on at the Central Experi
mental Farre, Ottawa,
Farmers would be well advised to
pay more attention to this crop from
now on. Prices now being ofl'.ercd
by flax mills for fibre straw make it a
valuable cash crop. •In most cases the
mill operator agrees to take the re-
sponsibility of harvesting the crop, a
feature which wilt tend to relieve the
serious labour situation confronted by
many farmers. Even where no mills
are operating, flax may be grown with
an assurance of a ready market. Linen
mills in the L'nited States are offering
as high as $15 00 per ton for good No.
1 Canadian Fiat straw delivered at
station. It is de.irable, however, that
all the flax grown be handled by Can,
adtan mills.
Flax has a very important economic
value at the present time. Flax fibre
is the taw material of the spinning
mills and tis yarn is the raw material
..f the linin mills used in the manu-
facture of linens, Flax developed to
the limit of its possibilities will pro-
bably produce a greater amount of
tncteat.ecl wealth than any other plant
grown in Canada, and for this reason
more attentton sh:tuld be given to its
cultivation here. At present prices
the export value of an acre of il•ax runs
between $125 and $150, more than four
times the expert value of ordinary
cereal crops, and prices are Iikely ,,to
go higher for the beat fibre, If flax
mill owners and farmers will co-oper-
ate in placing the ilex industry on a
permanently profitable basis, a vale-
able addition will have been made to
Canada's growing export trade.
Tho Dominion Minister of Agricul-
ture, recognizing the present impor.
tence and future possibilities of flax as
a farm product has established a flax
fibre branch in connection with the
Dominion Experimental Farms, Mr.
G. (1•, Bramhill, a graduate of the On•
ttrio Agricutturrtt College,. chas been
appointed to take charge as Flax

Child's Skeleton Found
A sensation was created on Tuesday
afternoon of last week by the finding
of the skeleton of an infant in the at-
tic of a Third avenue east house.
While exploring for a first time the
-.mall attic in the story and a half
dwelling at 1004, Mr. Leonard Sloane
come upon the skeleton of an infant.
He immediately rep orted the matter
to the police, and P. C. Carson went
down to investigate. He found the
remains as reported and in turn re-
ferred the matter to Coroner Dow,
who had them removed. It was de-
cided that an inquest would be unnec-
essary as it was evident that the bones
might have been there for any length
of time, one to seven years, Tho skel-
eton was evidently that of a child
from three to six months of age, and
is in perfect condition. The Times
called at the residence and met Mrs.
Sloane, who is a bright, intelligent lit-
tle English woman. They resided in
town for several years and moved
from the west hill about a year ago to
their present residence. Naturally she
was affected by the gruesome discov-
ery, but displayed none of an emotion-
al nature as she chatted freely about
the finding of the remains. " Our lit-
tle boy had climbed up into the attic
over the kitchen last week and found
a clock, which was in such excellent
condition as to keep on going when
wound," she said. " When this oc-
curred my husband remarked that he
must investigate the small attic over
our bedrooms upstairs. Ile was home
Wednesday afternoon, and said be
was going to look up in the attic, jok-
ingly remarking that he might find a
case of whiskey. He got a table to
stand on and putting his head up
through the little hole he lit the can•
dle. 1 noticed that he made no at-
tempt to go up and asked him what
he saw, and he told me it was the re-
mains of a ohild. I tell you it gave
me a creepy feeling. fde went and
told the polite and the coroner carie
here and took the remains away." -
