ABOUT PAINT
DIR. MORSMAN TELLS HOW LIN
SEED OIL is MADE.
No Substitute AyaiiahIe For This
Product. A Flax Seed Famine
Raises Price Of Llnceed Oil.

In beginning the story of paint
it is well that we should take up
first the study of flax that we
may better understand present
conditions.
Flax is an exhausting crop.
| mean that it wears out the land.
Land we'll prepared can be
cropped two or three seasons al
ter which it will need fertilizing
or rest, or it can be cropped with
some other grain. Rest or past
urage is better because flax takes
the nutriment out of the land and
leaves it poor. Land has been
cropped with flax for more than
three years but results + apt to
be unsatisfactory.
Flax is raised for the seed and
also for the fibre. AS "A rule
when they plant for seed they do
not get much out Of the fibre and
when it is cultivated for fibre
there is no great value in the
seed.
The reason is that there has so
far been no machine made for
thrashing the seed that does not
break up the fiber SO as to injure
it also because the varieties are
a little different which grows out
of the fact that selections Of
seed for fiber tends to produce
seed that gives finre at the eX-
pense of the seed crop and selec-
ton of seed for seed development
tends to produce a bigger crop of
seed with coarser fibre. The
fibre from flax raised for seed
is apt to be coarse and when the
seed is threshed it is badly brok-
en- so that its only market is the
rope factory and the paper mills.
Fine flax fibre is what all our lin
in is made of and it is a trade in
itself to raise flax for fine fibre
At present little flax fibre is
produced in this country that is
equal to the imported. This is
probably because we lack know
ledge or skill in culture. Much Oh
the straw here is wasted or burn
ed because it does not bring
price enough to justify shipment
to the paper mills.
