Flax-growing ‘on this fill! . out 30 years ago was an , wt item in the productio p Province. Let no ape 151% it has been forgotten or b , ‘é lost art. For years it tilled villa! now a great-blank in domestlopa onolny and is now ,supplanted‘liy “m; bnnciul substitute, "something from away.‘ do the case or the home article the householders had an article that did not fall to pieces from a few months‘ ._wear. it was ' famous ior its durability as a tox- tile fabric and the seed was much valued as a teed for domestic ani- nlals. Indeed it served as a medi- cine when all else tailed. It also proved n. valuable ration for young animals. . ‘ it was pot a.laborious_10b,.to.raise the plant. Just common. soil‘ well- lnanured produced excellent crops; out it would not stand“ second or third crop and hadt . k p ing along to fresh sol? r l1 results. In its dayi as h ion to drag the last ounce oi fer- tility from the soil, therefore itwas folly to expect the flax to yield a crop without careful manuring, and in a revolt against this situation the raising oi’ flax lost the fight. i0 the regret of many ever since. ' in those rather primitive days th re was no shortage of 1181i) to ralase and turn the fibre into linen of various kinds; there was an over-

stocked market and too large a fam- '

lly growing up to besupportedwitll- out souls ready cash. Sad to say it .wns the rule all round. and the young men and women of tho day threw down their utensils and left for the United States". The ‘Boston boats tllcn loomed up and after-will nesslng many scenes oi heart-break- ing adieus -bade farewell to home nnd country. There were no‘ weav- ers, hacklers, and spinners left to keep the wheels moving here, but there has often Ibeeu too many seeking work in the mills of the tEiifllefil lStates. '

Let us be understood. We do not advise embarking in raising any kind or crop or enlisting on ularge scale in the manufacture oi goods wlthollt a home market, but we still contend that there are many lines in this lProvince which could be engaged in at great profit and in which employment could be found. ll‘ Islanders collld only speak their minds they would surprise a great nlnny as regards the hardships which surround operatives from slrikos, bud iimes_ and old ago llrross the border. ‘llleuwlrq wet faithful workers over there until old age crept in upoli them sud- llonly realized that there was no chance there for tho old or unskill- od man to procure employment. llore is a case in. point. Socommon has the adoption oi‘ tho automobile become that horses in tho Eastern States are n thing oi’ tho past. The consequence is that tho hay crop in the? eastern and middle States is not, cut, and tho occupation of hay- malters is also a thing of the past. They are not. iiittetl for other kinds oi work. and we see it stated that. thoro is n0 pluco for illnm oven if they could do the-work. Then tllcro nro tho strikes and short hours, to get. over, and the barriers establish- cdby unions which crush the non- union mcn.

Those old men freely admit that the factory employer and others, are splendid men and would keep on- instead of discharge men, but. they are compelled to yield to in- ventive genius and modern tastes or go under themselves.

“We hear a great ado about im- migration to lCanadn. This is all right it‘ there were employment for people already here. Our conten- tion ls- that this matter of provid- ing work for those who are not ill- ted for farming should be attend- ctl to hand in hand with immigra- lion, and flax-growing and other small industries are some oi the 839d. lthlngs that should lbe provid- e . ..

The Montreal Witness, Montreal, a while ago carried a motto in a mominent place. which is worthy oi lbolng copied by other papers, viz: ‘lMuko Canada s Land to be lulled."
