ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS.
It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that
British and Irish linen manufactures, and also manufacturers
of hempen goods, have material suffered from a deficient
SuPPIY.of
ck-ficient app
from the fact that TY sew
the culthiti nof flax in Great Britaiarin has
materially decreased instead of increased with the growing
requirements of our linen manufactures. Our national com-
mercial statistics show that, out of 150,000 tons of flax annu-
ally consumed in the United Kingdom, not more than 50,000
tons are of home growth. In addition to this enormous im-
portation of flax for our linen manufactures, we have also im-
ported hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every
year for home consumption.
The linen manufacturers of theie ll nite

Cared that they are ready to take
be grown at home, and at such prices as will be more reofm.u-
nerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce his
lands.

The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared
to prove to the agriculturists of this country that no more
profitable crop can be cultivated than that of flax, whenever
their system of rettories, and improved mechanical treatment
of flax fibre, shall, be adopted in the localities of its growth.
The main feature of the Company's plan is, that it will take the
trouble of preparing; the flax for market entirely off the hands
of the grower, by becoming the purchasers of the crop. and
thus leaving the grower entirely free from the hazards of bad
harvesting weather, and at the same time ensuring him a
certain handsome profitable return for all the flax he can
The
and deliver to the Company's depots and rettories.
The Company's operations will also embrace the whole of the
requisite processs of preparing the flax and similar fibrous
substances ready for the spinner.
The system of preparation adopted by this Company is the
subject of a patent, the invention of Mr. George Albemarle
Gator, a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and
its preparation for the spinner his especial study for many
years past, he having fully demonstrated the great economy
of labour and the very great improvement of the quality of
the flax fibre, which is the result of his improved system of
flax preparation. The system will be found fully detailed in
the "Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax-Cultivation and Prepa-
ration, •to be had free from the Secretary of the Company
and its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of
the great importance of the home cultivation of flax, as in-
suring- a regular supply of raw material to the very impor-
tant national manufacture of linen and hempen goods ; half
stuff for papermakers ; and of the importance of the seed for
linseed oil and oilcake.
As an example of the intended erations of the Copany,
the following is quoted from the full prospectus o the Com-
Pany
Ry rettories will be understood establishments where the
preparation of flax fibre from the raw plant for the spinner
and manufacturer will be carried out through all its stages.
It is estimated that two rettories, on the scale proposed as
the base of operations, will require eight patent machines,
and if constantly at work for, say, 309 days in the year, will
produce annually 1,200 tons of flax fibre, 7,500 quarters of
linseed, and 900 tons of tows; and, allowing £5O per ton to
be obtained for the flax fibre, 565. per quarter for the lin-
seed, and £5 per ton for the' tows, there is a gross yield of
485,500.
Assuming that it will take as much as 10 tons of flax straw
nnseeded to produce one ton of flax fibre, at a cost of £4 per
ton, and £lB per ton of fibre for all expenses, the total outlay
will be 469,000, leaving a balance to be divided of £15,900, or
nearly
a3nOzer cent. upon £55,000 (the cost of the buildings,
machinery, together with a sufficient working
