Flax Seed Industry Decline in South Dakota
South Dakota flax seed production has fallen since 1908 except 1912, with 1550,000 bushels. A new bulletin from the South Dakota experiment station outlines flax culture basics to restore the industry, including variety selection, soil preparation, seed treatment, rotation, and disease prevention. It notes North Dakota resistant types like North Dakota 29 may suit the state, and emphasizes clean seed, rust avoidance, wilt control, and sowing on well-prepared seed beds for better termination and even stands.

At a Brown and Marshall counties meeting with State Engineer Homer Derr petitions for drainage of Big Slough and 150000 acres were ordered filed. A committee will choose an engineer to survey feasibility, then North Dakota style. If practical, ditches will reclaim about six townships, with costs assessed pro rata against benefited property owners. The project would drain submerged land to a point north of the center and outlet into the James River. Attorneys for both counties joined the discussion.
