Flax Growing and 4H Boys Organize in Washington County
Flax growing is promoted as a profitable new crop for the region with trials showing 10 to 15 bushels per acre and suitability with resistant varieties. 4H boys from Washington and nearby townships form a permanent club at the Farm Bureau office electing officers and planning monthly meetings, livestock and grain judging, and an all county 4H event next month. The piece also discusses tax reform, praising a gross income tax as a fair alternative to property taxes and noting current inequities and burdens on non-income earners.
