LETTERS TO. THE EDITOR.

| Flax Culture.
| Str,—During the last year I made some enquiry inf the theory of flax raising, with a view of ascertaining this feasibility of pro- ducing this valuable article on the Island with profit to our farmers. With your per- mission I will endeavor to give your read- ers the result of my researches. The low prices which had of late years been obtain- ed for oats, has incited our farmers-to look about for some product that would take its place as a staple crop.
| While in England last year, I secured valuable information on the subject; and subsequently, 1 visited Belfast, the great centre of linen manufacture. Unfortunate- ly, there was not a sample of Canadian ‘grown flax at ‘the Colonial Ehibition. _Upon my return to the Island, however, | obtained a number of samples, which f forwarded to Mr. E. B. Biggar, editor of the Canadian Joninal of Fabrics, then published in London. A portion of these samples went to the Colonial and Indian
long. I may state that I have in my possession a number of reports of liner manufacturing companies, flax growing associations and other publications and letters, pertaining to the preparation of the land, quantity of seed, retation of crops, value of fibre, scutched and unscutched, seed, etc., and will be pleased to furnish information and statistics on the subject te any person. Yours truly, Ricnarp Hunz. S'Side, March 30, 1887.
Tne One Horse Farmer.
The one horse farmer has a life long am- bition to gain a reputation for wearing a dirty shirt.
He will alarm the neighborhood by get- ting up two hours before day, and then set around and not go to work ti sun-up.
He will complain of hard times, and then tear his pants climbing a fence where a gate ouglit to be.
He will pzy three dollars ‘for a new bridle, aud then let the calf chew it all to
Exhibition, and part was sent by Mr. Big- gar tu the President of the Whitabbey Flax | Spinning Company of Beifast, where it was | tested, and spun into yarn and fabric, and
then returned. ‘The following extract from his letter to Mr. Biggar, places the
question of the value of the raw material |
beyond reasonable controversy :—
“To you—through whose indefatigable and un- tiring labors te glean information forthe benefit of Canadian farmers about the gruwih and pro- per mapipuilation of flax, and by whom the sam- ple of Canadian flax was obtuined and brought here, to be spun and woven, and thus practic«lly to test the imherent value of your flax, aud de- monstrate to your Guvernment at Oitawa, aud to the Canadian farmers, that your lands will pro- duce fiax to sait every requirement of the spin- ner, twine and rope marufacturer,—i have the greatest pleasure in forwarding the first Consign- mentof yarns and linen made entirely from Canadian grown fiax. The flax was spun into yarn on the 20th November, 86, and both warp
jand weft yarns of your flax woven into cloth on the 20th Dec., 86. The spinning and weaving bav- ing been performed uader the persona) superinten- dence of D. S. Thompson, Esq., Whiteabbey Mills, who Was most particular in testing the | quality of the flax, yaras and linen. Mr. Thomp json stated he was perfectiy satisficd with tne itrial. Another spinner to whom I submitted samples of yarn and cloth said he had never seen better goods made from any selection of contin- ental or Irish flax. As regards ropes, an exten- sive owner of both steam and sailing ships told 'me that the value tohim and other owners of ‘ships ** could not be priced as they would be in- ‘valuable and almost everlasting” if they couid get ropes made entiiely from such flax yarns. |; You can exhibit your samples with pride aud i satisfaction that such practical results have fol- lowed your endeavors in proving that Canadian soil will grow flax to suit any manufacturer. You can assure the farmers in ever district of Canada that there is in Britain and treland alone, a mar- -ket for all the flax they can grow. The British buyers will be very glad to circulate the immense sum they spend on. flax among their loyal ~=feiends in Canada. Your government should at ,once come forward and assist the farmers by offering premiums fer best crops of flax. This would draw, promptly, farmersfrom Lreland who are unable to pay present rents, but who could and would dv wellin Canada. The New Zealand Government this year (1886) paid £1000 in prizes
‘for flax crops. English and Scotch iland- ‘owners wiil next season grow flax
‘more largely, but they camnot compete with - Canada’s virgin soil in productiveness. You will have the great advantages also in abundant sup- ply of suitable water for retting ; the newest and most improved methods for saving seed, rettory pits, ard the finest machinery for seutching, giv- | ing the farmers at first starting allthe benefits of i long experience in working out the most econo- mica] systems for manipulating the flax crop, so that farmers will have the full benefit of the whole yield, instead of, asin the past, your far- mers growing the plant merely for seed ; but the | fibre will, by the aid of the new machine, realize
i
Great Britain imports annually nearly ‘one hundred million dollars worth of fibre ‘and flax seed, which comes from Belgium, | France, Germany, Holland, but principally from Russia.
The practical question for us Island- ‘ers is: Can our farmers produce flax ‘with satisfactory results and profits to themselves? It has already been proved
that our soil and climate are well adapted to the growth of this plant. Land that will produce wheat or white oats is strong enough for flax, and the cost of putting in and harvesting is about the same. Our average yield of wheat per acre according to the last census, is 13 bushels, which at
90 cents a bushel and $5 as the value of the straw make $16.20; oats say 30 bushels per acre at 30 cents, and $5 for straw make
$14. An average crop of flax in Ireland,
and I think it would be no less here, yields
14 tons straw at $10 and 10 bushels of seed
at $1 make $25 from an acre of flax, as} against $16.20 for an acre of wheat and $14
for an acre of oats.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in. Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lun diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- skmptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents _ Sold by all Druggists and Dealers, in the United States and Canada.

It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant w taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, alays all pain, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.

Contracts can be entered into by our) producers for any quantity at these prices; and they allow the purchaser a good mar-) aii for retting, seutching and forwarding the material to market. There is also an-| other important feature in connection with |
| j
it: Ifthe raw material is produced, manu- | factures will certainly fellow. This con-} sideration should attract general attention
in a Provinee hitherto comparatively with-
out the great local advantage of manufac-
tures. It is believed by experts that this
Island possesses all the peculiar natural fa-
cilities that have so largely contributed to-
wards making Ireland the leading linen mart of Europe. As evidence of the ex-
tent to which flax is grown in other coun- tries | may give the acreage of that crop for the year 1881:—

The information which I have acquired in reference to this question has satisfied me that flax culture on a larger scale would be an incalculable benefit to this Province, and that to encourage farmers at the start the Government would act wisely to offer a bounty..of a few dollars to every farmer who successfully raised one acre. This would afford a stimulus to have the crop fairly tested, and of producing an abund- ance of seed fur another year.
