It was decided in the affirma- tive and Sisler was made over into a first baseman. Today he is conceded by all’ ex- perts to be the premicr at that posi- tion. He is a wonder in the field, at the bat, and on the bases. Sisler is the logical sucessor to Ty .Cobh when the Goergian decides to give uo active play. Frankie Frisch Arrives. Now, just as Sisler reaches the height of fame, another marvel steps into the picture—Frankie Frisch of the New York Gisn Like Sisler, Frisch is one of the few major league plafers to make good without any minor league exs| perience. Frisch, 2 collegian, came to the Giants from Fordhag. Frisch has the speed and eye-of Cobb and Sisler and can do all thingy well. risch is the greatest young player to break into the majors since the days of Cobb.” That is the way Hukhey Jennings sizes him up.

Trowbridge today. | Mr. Trowbridge fas just returned from Minneapolis where he attended a conference with the flax develop- ment committee, which represents the crushers gnd other users of flax- seed ‘products. President John Lee | Coulter, Dr. H. L, Bolley and Dr. H. L. Walster of the college also, attended the conference. ! “The flax production of the Unit- ed States and of North Dakota has been decreasing steadily each year,” Dr. Trowbridge continued, “while the consumption of linseed oil has been steadily increasing, While the average consumption of linseed ofl for the past ten years has been steadily increasing. While the aver- age consumption of linseed oil for the past ten years has been 65,000,- 000 gallons, which is equivalent to | 26,000,000 bushels of flax, the pro- duction of flax during recent years’ has only been between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 bushels, and the balance has been’ imported, mostly as flax, but some as linseed oil. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1922, the total consumption of linseed oil in this country was 81,855,725 gallons, equi- valent to more than 32,000,000 busi els of flax, and manufacturers esti- mate that 35,000,000 bushels of flax will be needed to furnish the re- quirements for linseed oil this year.

Freight rates from the, northwest to the At- lantie coast make it impractical to’ i ship our flax there for competition {with the Argentine flax, but also make it expensive to ship the Argen- tine flax to the mills at Duluth and Minneapolis, “During our recent visit at Mii neapolis we inspected one flax-crush- ing mill that had a capacity of 1 000 bushels per day, but it was only using 6,000 bushels per day, due tol inability to secure more flaxseed, and in several cases the mills’ there have shipped in flax from the Atlantic coast so that they could keep run- ning. If the flax crop in the north- west falls off to such a point that the manufacturers cannot depend on a steady supply, the manufacturers in Duluth and. Minneapolis apparent- ly will have to go out. of business, |and the farmérs of this territory will have to ship their fla® to the At- lantic coast to compete with Argen- tine flax. “Argentine flax. sells for about $1.85 per bushel, which, with the tar- iff, makes a total price of $2.25, Flax was quoted at $2.68 a short time ago in Fargo. In Argentine peon labor is used, land is cheaper, and flax dis- eases do not seem:to be é0 prevalent there. Thest are the reasons why a tariff is necessary ta protect our farmers, Should Be Profitable. “An examination of the’ situation makes it apparent that in the ordi nary course of events, flax should be a mote profitable crop for farmers to raise than any crop or product {which is exported, since. prices for products are exported are based: on | manufacture minus transportation costy, while prices for any. product which is importet, such as’ flax ared based on world prices plus cost of transportation, and in tl particu- lar case, plus the tariff.
