In the single article of flax , it appears , according to the best authorities , that the produce of at least 400 , 000 acres is annually imported into this kingdom for the use of our manufacturers . It is now an admitted fact that flax will grow on almost any soil , and in almost any latitude ; and it might certainly appear . strange to persons unacquainted with the dense ignorance and prejudice still prevailing among that estimable body of men , that while bur farmers were denouncing the " ruination" of free trade in corn , they should have remained totally blind to the fact that the flax trade has been " free" for years past—that they have never complained of the absence of " protection , " and that this is a commodity in the production of which they could most successfully compete with foreign countries-Flax has generally been supposed to be a great exhauster of tlie fertility of the soil , but late discoveries have shown that such' a result can only follow ignorance of the properties of the plant , or very culpable negligence in the preparation of the fibre , as we shall now undertake to prove . The flax plant divides itself into three parts—1 st , the fibre ; 2 ndly , the seeds and their husks or capsules ; and 3 rdly , the woody and resinous portions . Of these , the fibre—the only part which ought to leave the farm—is , by a bountiful and wise provision of Nature , composed almost entirely of constituent parts derived wholly from the atmosphere , —100 parts of fibre yielding , on nimlysis , no greater average than two parts of mineral matters derived from the soil , all easily capable of being replaced at an inconsiderable cost . In fact , these matters ar « scarcely appreciable . Thq portions of this beautifully constructed plant which have Required for it the titlo of a " scourging" crop , are those only which , it is the direct interest of the farmer , its it is his bounden duty , to preserve either as a vehicle for manure or as food ior his stock ;—viz ., the chaff or woody pith und sonio of thti resinous " matter , of which- 1 the produce is f'torn l £ to 2 ' tbirt p&r dike ; and the linseed and its capsules , bbtVabouMihf * Hi thef-riche * fattening properties , the former of which averages from 1 G to 24 bushels pfer ^ tfrtu'te ' acrk " ' ['' "t < : ' ¦ ' l - ¦ ' In suggesting the- extended growth of ( lax to pur ' agricultural friendi ^ ' we i 9 ioSflfi * d" ! fcy dt ' tioWri W'itnaxiom to be implicit ^ obiferVftd {> 'tlilitf ^ io'lkH > eeM ^ ibiiW ' bo adopted in its ptajuratton bWWcV ^' vrtll ' & 1 aW them to preserve on their farms the gndfttda't' 'Msaiblci amount of i-onstituoiiis dorWiktmifLW ' f / ihiPith MV A judicious rotutirtft WfrcVHpsiahtf tW gtyat ^ Hedl ' alV '' time and rent , will no doubt restore fertility t p il flux * iiold , the produce 1 *) # ' whicW < lJa 3 $ >< &h toHMhtcty'Wifattil ; ¦< and so llux jnny ' bo grown every eigMli ' bV tbntti ;^ wtf on tho same land .
