Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Flax Culture, Comprising Full Information on the Cultivation, Management, and Marketing of the Crop: Together With a Complete Glossary and Index Eradicating small weeds before Sow ing. - After the soil has been well prepared for the seed, let it remain about ten days, when nearly all the seeds of noxious weeds will have vegetated. N ow, on the day that the seed is to be sowed, give it a thorough harrowing, for the purpose of destroying the little weeds that have appeared in the seed-leaf. If many lumps of earth, or small stones are harrowed up, the sur face must be rolled. And while the surface is fresh, let the seed be put in as speedily as possi ble, because flax seed, or any other seed, will germinate much sooner thus, than if put into soil that has not been disturbed for a number of days.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European System of Flax Culture Americanized and Adapted to the Local Conditions of U. S. An (Especially Puget Sound): Ahe American System of Flax and Other Fiber Culture Flax for seed and fiber has been an established industry in Europe for several centuries, while in each section where the industry has been carried on, a different system has been practiced. Each system, varying to a greater, or less degree, but all more or less satisfactory in their results. The Irishman, adopting one system, being fully impressed with the idea, that his is the only correct one, and any departure therefrom is all wrong, and the result of gross ignorance. With due care, a good article is produced, and he fondly hugs himself with the delusive idea, that Irish flax is the best in the world.(?) I go across to Belgium, in the district of Courtrai, I find an entirely and radically different system in use, and a better and higher priced quality of flax fibre produced there, Mister Irishman, to the contrary; notwithstanding. My Belgian friend is just as fully convinced that the Irish system is all wrong. I leave Belgium and pass into Holland, and again find modifications in practice. Likewise, in Germany, Russia, Scandinavia and Austria, all practicing the peculiar system handed down from one generation to another as best adapted to their local conditions. During recent years, however, the whole system of manipulating flax for fiber production is being modified to meet the requirements of modern manufacturers. Formerly the flax industry in Europe was chiefly conducted by the small peasant farmer, who grew the flax, retted, spun and wove it into domestic fabrics, and great was the pride evinced by the farmers wife and daughters in the beautiful and artistic damask and linen fabrics which they produced. Now, however, that is all changed, and large spinning mills with thousands of spindles have been established, while the costly modern machines have been produced to cater to the increased requirements of the large spinners, they requiring large quantities of fibre, of uniform grades, while the small farmers could only produce small quantities of varying grades, the business passed into the hands of more extensive cultivators. Not only so, but the son cannot now work to advantage on the plan practiced by the father owing to new developments by the advance of agricultural science, in the way of fertilizers. The tactile skill of the father has not passed to the son. While the lessons taught the son in the Agricultural Colleges is an unknown language to the father. In the midst of this demoralization came the competition of the cheap cotton and shoddy goods and the peasant class with that want of foresight which characterises them as a class, were led to abandon the more durable, healthful and economical homespun products of the flax plant for the cheaper cotton. Another strong competitor arose in the culture of the sugar beet, which, being a cash money crop, and not requiring the same amount of care, attention and hard work, helped to wean the small farmer from flax culture.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Flax Culture for Seed and Fiber in Europe and America It is believed that a statement of the circumstances under which the facts presented in the following pages were obtained will be of special interest to those interested in the Subject as affording evidence that unusual opportunities were enjoyed and availed of in gathering the information on which this report is based. The writer Spent six months in Europe during the season of 1889 under a commission from the Department of Agriculture which, among other things, required him to make a special study of foreign practices of methods of fiber culture, chiefly of flax and hemp, and to investigate machinery for the cleaning of these fiber plants, as well as the important machines or. Processes for the decortication of ramie, Being officially connected with the American commission to the Paris Exposition, many facili ties were afforded to the writer in the pursuit of this undertaking which might not otherwise have been available, and by means of which much valuable information was secured. After the close of his work in behalf of the American commission, the inquiries were continued under an appointment as Special agent of the Department, an appointment continued after the writer's return to the United States in November of that year, when a special line of investigation was entered upon in this country in Order to secure a knowledge of the status of the flax-fiber industry in the United States with a view to its reestablishment here.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Flax Culture for Fiber in the United States: Including Special Reports on Flax Culture in Ireland, in Belgium, and in Austria, With Statements Relative to the Industry in Russia Connecticut (storrs Agricultural School) - The seed having been received quite late in the season the best land for the experiment had been planted to other crops. The agriculturist claimed to have little knowledge Of flax culture beyond that Obtained from books. I visited this field in August, finding the straw overripe for the saving of both seed and fiber. The straw was short, though it would have given a flax sufficiently long for spinning purposes, and some Of it was quite fine. If the seed had been sown upon better land the experiment, undoubt edly, would have given more favorable results. N o attempt was made to save seed or to ret the product. The same drawbacks to the employ ment of flax as a crop in Massachusetts exist in this State. The expense of labor which can be more profitably employed in growing more pay ing crops, and the difficulty of finding clean land are particularly mentioned; The results of the season's Operations were so encouraging that the experiments will be continued this season, and will be more carefully conducted. New York - While fair success was attained in the two experiments conducted in this State, the cultivation of flax for fiber can not now be considered a paying crop. The special reasons for such a statement are given in the summary of the season's work on another page. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
