If BO, BULLETIN NO. 27 it will be to your interest (as well as to theirs and to ours) to stop them, ad vising them to write us before destroy ing any more of this valuable pro duct. A market for the millious of tons of flax straw that farmers oi tb& north west have forced to burn -as rubbish every year, will be made by the Ox ford Linen Mills, organized with a capital of $2,000,000 for the manu facture of linen from American flax. We intend to contract with farmers for the purchase of this flax straw, and preparatory to that step we de sire to secure the names and address es cf all those who now grow or con template growing flax, We shall therefore esteem it a favor if you re fer this letter to some one willing to send us a list of farmers in your vi cinity—that is, in case it proves in convenient for you to furnish one.

Believe far mers will get better prices by keeping seed and selling straw to this compa np than to sell the unthreshed flax to harvester companies for binding twine purposes. Of the Minnesota State Dairy and Food Commission Undoubtedly the greatest fraud now being perpetrated in the sale of foodstuffs in this state, as weil as in nearly every other state in the Union, is the short weight and short measure fraud. The laws of the state prohi bit misbranding of food products, and when a container is labeled giving the net weight the statement must be true. The law requires a statement of the net weight on a few products, but does not require such a statement on a great number of staple articles. The manufacturer or packer simply does not label the package he puts upon the market and the purchaser buys it thinking he is getting a pound five pounds, a quart or a gallon, as thecase may he. The practice is quite general and is the rule in the case of paany products and not the exception. The manufacturer of the packages /'HISTORIC^ socig-rV Subscription $1.50 Per Year tHHIIHHHM CALUMET N0.$i makes them short weight or short measure according to the orders of the pecker, who is to fill them with his products. One very noticeable short weight fraud is tbe practice of selling butter in jars. The common half gallon butter jar is known by the trade as a "five ponnd jar," but when it is filled level full wiih butter it will generally hold less than five pounds of butter. It is not difficult to find "FIVE pound jars" of butter on the market contain ing only (4£) four and one-half pounds of butter. The customer who buys one of these jars of butter for $1.90 thinkB he is getting'butter at 36 cents per lb. while in face hejia paying just 40 cents per lb. This department is powerless to ccmpel a statement of the net weight on all food packages, as.thereisno law requiring such labeling, but un til Buch a law is enacted .there is no. relief in sight exeept that the individr. ual purchaser can protect himself by weighing the goods he buys and in sisting on receiving what he pays for. Producers of and dealers in eggs are again warned against selling or offering for sale eggs, which are not fresh and wholesome. Inspectors of this department are instituting prose cutions against violators of the law in every section of the Btate and the lowest fine that can be assessed by any court is $10.00 and costs.
