MORE ABOUT FLAX

As lately stated in these notes, flax is usually grown for seed in Canada and the seed brings something under $2. per bushel. The growing of flax for fibre has not reached the point where it can compete with Ireland or Russia. and as I stated I have not heard of it as commercially grown in the Island. The climate is suitable, for flax thrives where there is a good supply of moisture in the air, so thlt the valley of the St. Lawrence and the Maritimes may be expected to grow good flax.

This plant does best in fields where the manure was applied the previous year. If sown thin the flax branches out and becomes stocky, 1nd this does not give the proper fibre. When it is sown thickly, from H6" to 2 bushels per acre, it produces t tall unbranched stem, (like the poles in a forest) with only a. few flowers at the top. This is the type aimed at in producing fibre_ Flax should not be grown on the same

Land oftener than from five to seven years, and the seed-bed should be mellow and well prepared.

Flax is subject to several diseases. but it is possible to disinfect the seed as is done with oats. One ounce o! lormaline is mixed with two quarts of water and sprayed over the seed. which is then well stirred tiil dry. This ‘quantity is sufficient for one bushel of seed, which by tho way weighs Botbs.

‘Seed is sown broadcast or drilled 4 inches apart and cross herrowcd. It is covered half an inch deep and rolled, unless the land has a consid- erable proportion of clay-brick-clay -in it. when rolling would be hurt-

of clover have not caught well, owing to the drought, and this preaages a shortage next year as well. The re- medy as I have suggested before is to grow more green feed.

In my journeys I have seen many fields of oats in head. and the straw very short, which again is unfor- tunate. Potatoes are looking well but the long spell of dry weather, while it has kept down disease, will probably shorten the yield as It has done in the southern States: but in this cue we may look for s. very considerable stiffening in prices. The turnips are very variable. I have seen some ax- tremely good fields, but most of them are slow. Proper preparation of the seed bed, with the addition of plenty of humus in the form of stable marl- ure, is absolutely necessary to pro- duce a. good crop of turnips, and in the general hurry thorough prepara- tion is often neglected.

A light crop of tilrnipo is o blow at the live stock industry.

_ The summer diet is a most impoltant one, great care should be exercised in selecting the proper foods. Meal; feeds should be reduced to a minimum and supplemented by cereals and vegetables. IMPERIAL FOX BISCUITS fed dry and IMPERIAL PUPPY FOOD with milk added make the ideal summer cereal ration for both adults and These two highly nourishing foods ensure a bal- anced ratlon together with an abundance of minerals and most valuable Vitamines. IMPERIAL FOODS keep the foxes in good ﬂesh and make them generally healthy and active. IMPERIAL‘ eliminates premature shedding generally caused by excessive meat feeding or an unbal anced diet, and make for better pelts when prime. 1
