Toronto.^ FI.AX fibre is absolutely neces- sary for the construction of aeroplane wings. Yet because of Russia's defection. Great Britain has not now more fibre on hand than is sufficient to keep tho mills running one and a half dayss a week. To further complicate malteri; the flax seed crop In Ireland was perilously near a failure last yea.-. These vital facts were disclosed re- cently at a meeting in Toronto, of the Agricultural Section of the Or- ganization of Uesources Committo.i of Ontario, called to discuss the Uax situation. Kvidence was ul^o given re- garding what Ontario already had done to relieve the shortage. lu 1917 thirty-three flax mills were operated, 6,000 acres were planted and 2,600,- 000 pounds of fibre and 45,000 bushels of seed were produced. O^r flax business last year had a total value of $2,000,000. .Moreover, tho seed pioduced will accomplish a vital mission abroad, as a large iiart of it has Seen shipped to Ireland to meet tho great seed deficiency there. »,000 Acres at fyeaet This Year. Already flax growers are planning an 8,000-acre production, at least, for this year. Each of the mills are in the market for all the straw and seed that can be secured and good prices are assured the grower. The arrangements made in the past have, for the most part, provided for the leasing of flax land by the mills at a rental of from $10 to $15 an aci-e. The grower ploughed the land, prepared the seed bed and hauled the crop to the millâ€" except where the crop was carrlg^l on the railroa'). The mill operator s'applied the se^^fd, often did the seeding, and harvested the crop. The flax was pulled by hand and the workers were housed iu the fields in tents. Their transportation was paid by the mill company and they received $15 an acre fur pull- ing. It took a first-class puller Ibree days to finish an acre.. As the work- ers prepared their own meals, ttie growers were In no way Inconven- ienced by having them on their farm.s. Flax a Highly Prulilable Crop. While this system is still followed almost entirely, farmer.s may very profitably grow Uax, ilolny all the woik and selling the crop outright to the mills. An acre of yood Uax wit! produce some nine bushels of seod and two tons of straw. The seed sells now for from :f7 lo $0 a bushel, wbib: the price of straw will be dependent upon miality. In ease labor condi- tions prevent the pulling of Uax the crop niiiy be harvested with a binder, the seed sold at a reiuunirativo pricf. and the straw ul about $15 a ton. Old sod land is prel erred for Uax and any soil which will produce u good Clop of oats will be suitable. V\ireworius and white grub.s, so lie- strintivu to other crops, will not ui- tai.k ilax. The seed slioiild bo plant- ed not later than .May lOlh and tlie crop is liarvested during Lite middle of July; thus the soil is leil in excel- lent condition for winter wheat. A thorough discing, witlioiu pluugliii'.y, is sulllcieut preparatiou for the wheat crop. 'the fear that fiax is particularly hard on tiie laud is uii- loiiiult'd, as it does not take more iroiii u than any ordinary field crop. Warm Weather Specials i^;^^^ Whit'.'
