Prices aro asnured the grower. The

the leasing of flax laud by the mills

prepared the ;reed bed and hauled
the crop to the mill --except whore
the crop was carried on the railroad.
The grill operator supplied the seed,
often did the seeding, and harvested
the crop, The flax was pulled by haud
and the workers were housed in the
fields in tents. Their transportation
was paid by the mill company and
they received $15 an acre for pull-

Flax tc Highly Profitable Crop.
While this system is still followed
almost entirely, farmers may very
profitably grow flax, doing all the
work and selling the crop outright to
the mills. An acre of good flax will
produce some nine bushels of seed
and two tons of straw. The seed sells
now for from $7 to 99 a bushel, while
the price of straw will be dependent
upon quality. In case labor condi-
tions prevent the pulling of flax the
crop may be harvested with a binder,
the seed sold at a remunerative price,
and the straw at about $15 a ton,
Old sod land is: preferred for flax
and any soil which will produce a
good crop of oats will be suitable.
Wireworms and white grubs, so de-
structive to other crops, will not at-
tack flax, The seed should be plant-
ed not later than May 10th and the
crop is harvested during the middle
of July; Was the soil is left in excel-
lent condition for winter wheat. A
thorough discing, without ploughing,
is sufficient preparation for the
wheat crop. The fear that flax 1s

When the students bad responded
to the Government's appeal and _had

work which they realized to be of
such importance, there remained the
problem of putting each individual
applicant for -work iu touch with a
farmer who desired assistance. This
was uccomplished though the On-
tario Government System of Public
Employment Bureau in cases where
the students were unable to mak,:
their own arrangements. A minimum
wage of 915 per month was set, but
the farmers soon realized the value nL

high as 935. per mouth, The average
wage paid was $18.
