FLAX culture and praparation, though ranking amongst the oldest of the worlds industries, is nevertheIess very imperfectIy supplied with any publications which present in seriatim a compIetc description of thc essential and possiblc methods connected wit, h the selection of sced, suitability of land anti its prcparatiori, harvesting and handling of flax crops, incltxding rcttir g, s cutching, preparing the flax for the market and the saving of seed for subscqueut sowings or fcotiing purposes.

Speaking generally, I have long been ardcntly interested, theoretically and practically, in flax cultivation and prbeparation. As a result of much study, numerous discussions with prodrlcers arid experimenters, observations and tabulated experiences, I have naturally formed some definite conclusions, even on such a subjcct as Flax, in any branch of which, every experimenter and obscrvcr has a different opinion to offer. The substance of thcsc cxpcricnces I have embodied in my lectures to the students at the Municipal Technical Institute, Belfast. These classes have recently been particularly wcll attended by successive groups of demobilized officers and men arid farmers sons who have gone, or are going out to British East Africa to grow flax, among other crops, for thornothcr country.

Download or read book Folk Song Style and Culture written by Alan Lomax and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Song and dance style--viewed as nonverbal communications about culture--are here related to social structure and cultural history. Patterns of performance, theme, text and movement are analyzed in large samples of films an recordings from the whole range of human culture, according to the methods explained in this volume. Cantometrics, which means song as a measure of man, finds that traditions of singing trace the main historic distributions of human culture and that specific traits of performance are communications about identifiable aspects of society. The predictable and universal relations between expressive communication and social organization, here established for the first time, open up the possibility of a scientific aesthetics, useful to planners.
