Already flax growers are planning an 8,000 -acre production, at least; for, this year. Each of the mills are in the market for all the straw and send that can be secured and good prices are assured the grower. The arrangements made in the past have, for the most part, provided for the leasing of Hite land by tee trills at a rental of from $10 to $16 an acre. The grower ploughed the land, prepared the seed bed and hauled the crop to the mill—except where the crop was carried on the railroad. The mill operator supplied the seed, often did the seeding,,and harvested the crop, The flax was pulled by hand and the workers were eoRused In the fields in tents. Their rf:lnaporttttion was paid by the !Hill company and they received $15 an acre for pull - nag. It took a first-class puller three days to finish an acre, As the work- ers prepared then' own meals, the growers were in no way lneonveu- fenced by having them on their farms, Flax a Highly Profitable Crop. While this system is still followed almost entirely, farmers may very profitably grow flax, doing all the work and hailing the crop outright to the mills, An acre of good dux will produce some nine bushels of seed and two tons of straw.

OLD FIVE -CENTER Thing Of The Past, Now Declare Dealers In Cigars Like many other things in the long list of rapidly disappearing old-time customs and pleasures, according to lo- cal cigar smoker s, the five -cent cigars will soon be a thing of the past. In fact, it is practically off the mar- ket at the' present time, 'rhe reneon given for the elimination of popul'ar- priced smokes is the high cost of to- bacco and the greatly increased cost of production. Byer since the com- mencement of the war the prices of t obacco i crept steadily is u , n i SK d 5 P p> still soaringPipe smokers are made to realize this every time they empty a package of tobacco into their pouch - el. The average pouch which was for; merly taxed to capacity to hold • one ten -cent package, will now conven- iently hold two packages, and the to- bacco dealers look suspiciously at the man who plants a nickel oat the coun- ter and calls for cigar. "Five -centers are' a thing of the past," declined a tobacco dealer to a New Era reporter. "Tice fact is not one out of every hundred Customers who call here ever ask for a five -cent' smoke these days, Two or three years ago the fiye-cent smoke 'was much in evidence, end one could get apretty fair brand of cigar for that money, '1f prices continue to soar as they have duringehe past three years, ten cent slab gs• 'Nil soon puss 'into hisfory, "anti' two. for a quarter, 'or fifteen dents straight, will be Elie • rul- ing prices,' MEWBURN,1BALLANT'YNE • TO CROSS OCEAN LATER Neither, Can Go' trite lenperial Corn- reren,ce• Because sift Present Ottuwat„ :tent , May to.--e—While ilei. timer the'.Mileetry of Marine nor that: of Militia-, And Defence will be repress• ented at the opeeing'of the Confer•enoe' of Imperial representatives to be held shortly in Great Britain, It: is the 'Id, tention of both Major,deperel Mevvionn. and Hon, C; Q.
