Grady Farmers
iVill Plant Big
Flax Acreage
II. l4 Gollrjr Ikyist To j
Plant a Hundred Acres 1
This Year .
County Agent M. G. Tucker la
sold on the (lax idea. He believes
that it la one of the coming crops
for Grady county. He believes
that there may be a thousand
acres of the crop planted in Grady
county this spring. H. U. Guitry
the progressive fanner from the
Amber community who Is alwsys
trying new crops is enthusiastic
about the possibilities of the crop.
He hopes to plant a hundred acres
next spring. He raised a crop last
year and dry aa it waa It made
from IS to II bushels to the sere.
The flax seed crop sold for 11.18
a bushel last year and it Is likely
to be considerable higher next
year. We have been Importing a lot
of flax seed each year but our im-
ports are likely to be cut off by'
tlie war. It Is said that the straw
from the flax crops is liked by cat-
tle almost aa good as wheat straw
which would make the crop a suit-
able one for farmers who have
livestock. .
The heaviest flax growing com-
munity In the United State Is
southeastern Kansas. Farmers
have found it a very profitable'
crop there although their soil Is
not nearly as fertile as the Was-
hita bottom. South Texas has also
taken to growing the crop plant- j
big It In the fall Just like wheat.'
With a sufficient acreage planted
here the Chickasha Cotton OH mill
would likely put In unit to crush1
the seed. The crop grows much like'
wheat and Is harvested by the'
sanic machinery.
