GROWTH OF FLAX III INDIA.
The Plant Ia feared Exclusively for
tho seed and Rot for
Fiber.

Consult General Patterson. at Cal
cutta, in n report to the department OF
state. notes n curious fact about flax
growing. reports the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. He writes: ain answer,to
an inquiry from d ChiGagoTh firm relative
to the quantity of flax produced anui
exported from India, I would say that
fax is grown in ENTHUSIASTICALLY for
the seed. In no part Of the country is
the fiber produced. Experiments have
been made for many years with the
same result, viz. that 1t is no proof
that n plant can be made { O yield a
fiber because 1t can be grown In %
country. Flax. hemp and china grass
are admirable samples Of this fact.
The possible area Of fiber production
Of any Of these in India is extremely
narrow. IFpnp yields fbsr III Rnssia
and other countries and cannot b"
made to produce the narcatic. In In
dia the very reverse Is the case. except
in a small portion Of the f,imulayas
where It yields admirable fiber md no
narcotic TO speak OF. While large areas
of flax are cultivated in almost every
part Of India md Burmah.i III is grown
only for the seed. Of which large guam.
titles are exported, and not for fiber.
and there Is no fax exported from In.
