Because the big northern Flax
harvest does not generally begin
until August, the market normally
reaches its peak in May and is
higher-than-average in June. This
is the time when Texas Flax is
harvested. Minneapolis May Flax
futures have been trading at about
$3.97.
Since there will be no restric-
tions on Flax planting this spring,
Gorham suggests that farmers
plant Flax on the acres made avail-
able by wheat and cotton allot-
ments, thus keeping their land in
a dependable, high-profit crop.
The best time for planting Flax
in south Texas is between Novem-
ber 10 and December 20, although
with favorable weather conditions,
later planted flax has done well.

able Flax year if present good
moisture conditions continue, ac-
cording to C. H. Gorham, manager
of the Texas Flax Improvement
Association at Kenedy.
In the first place, Gorham points
out that the demand for linseed
oil is currently ahead of last year.
While the big 1953 crop resulted in
an over-supply, the government has
agreed not to sell any of the Flax
it will acquire under the support
program at less than the 1953 sup-
port price until after July 31. The
same applies to their holdings of
linseed oil. This will tend to keep
prices high until after the Texas
crop is marketed.
While the new net to producer
support price for 1954 Texas Flax
will be about $2.65-$2.85, it is not
expected that the actual market
price will be that low. During the
12 years that a government sup-
port price has been available for
Flax, the average market price
has been higher than the support
in 9 years, lower in only 3. In
1951-52, for example, the average
support price was only $2.65, yet
the average price received by far-
mers was $3.72. Flax has recently

Well, beginning this year you can save. Without any effort
or will power. All you have to do is sign now to invest
■ in U. S. Savings Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan where
you work. Then relax. Forget your savings worries. Because
with the Payroll Savings Plan your money will be saved
for you, before you get your salary. Every time enough has
accumulated, it is invested in a Bond and the Bond is im-
mediately turned over to you.
Your friends now on this easy Plan will tell you that you
never miss the money. You never have it in your hand,
so you’re never tempted to spend it. And, sooner than you
expect, you own a U. S. Savings Bond. Then, another, and
another, and another.
Look at the chart on this page, for example. See how little
you have to save each week to have thousands of dollars
in Savings Bonds. You can sign to save just a couple-of
dollars a payday. Or, as much as you wish.
And best of all—your Bonds now will bring you an average
