Flax Industry in Canada OBL A 2, a a ANADIAN farmers are being encouraged by the Departs ment of Agriculture to en- gage increasingly in the grow- ing of flax, and while last year there were only some 18,000 to 20,000 acres put under cultivation in (he whole of Canada, it showed consider able strides when compared with five years ago, when there were only 12,000 acres under cultivation. While a certain amount of twine and thread | has been manufactured 'it cannot be said that there is any flax industry in Canada or that thread or yarns have been made in any considerable quantities. Last winter a mill was PA Add SPVeWR > | incentive to the industry.' There are between started at Guelph, where the flax was spun into yarn, which in turn was made into table linen, the output in the mill, however, not being large. During the war, owing tothe great demand for flax seed, the Canadian' crop was shipped to Ireland, and this year the same course will be pursued. Up to this period most of the pro- ducts from the Canadian farms were shipped to the United States. The Canadian Government is en couraging farmers' to go in more extensively for the growing of fibre flax, and with this end in view they are promised a fixed price for their erop. It might also be mentioned here that with the same purpose in view the Government has offered a bounty running from two cents to nine cents a pound, which bounty is pald to the spinner for the produce tlo of the finished yarn. Some time back the Government instructed Dr. Grisdale, director of the Dominion Experimental 'Farms, fo investigate 'the subject of the High G-ade Groceries, Fruits and Vegetables, Cooked and Uncooked Meats, LEWIS ORR 526 King St. Phone 2400 .

Afier visiting various points in the latter country, Dr. Grisdale paid 'a visit to the Fraleigh Flax Mills at Forest, Ontario. He found that Mr. Fraleigh handled about 500 acres of fldx each year. The seed, he said, was originally imported from Russia or Belgium, but is now grown almost entirely in Canada, the Cana~ dian seed being found superior to the imported article when it has be- come acclimatized. The pulling of the flax is done by boys and girls and it is dried and thrashed before being rotted or "rettéd." The ret- ting 'is done, as a general rule, by Spreading the flax thinly on the grass and turning it at intervals. The re- sult of this retting is a tow, some of which is suitable for twities and other fibre purposes. It might be here mentioned that in strength Canadian flax has repeatedly been declared equal to the better grades/of Irish flax, while the finer yarns have won a considerable reputation. An- Other method of retting is by means of tanks, but much depends upon the character of the water whether this process is advisable or not. In summing up his impressions, Dr, Grisdale expressed the opinion { } that the flax industry in Canada was Povtas' w¥ihy fi Fr Dio ant: ff nature of flax growing, he considered that it was wise to encourage the greater growth of the industry in this country.
