BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS, OREGON THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1930 Flax Article Stirs Local Comment Appearance last week, of the article in the Pilot concerning a probable role New Zealand flax may play in future national economy, and its possibilities in southwestern Oregon, stirred a great deal of comment from the local people, even those who are dred feet of his land from the directly connected with agricul ture. Reasons one who has some ap parently waste land: "That spot could be cleared, planted to this crop, and could be made pro duce quite a quantity of the ret ted flax for use in bag, twine or rope making.” Since New Zealand flax is a lot more decorative than most native brush patches, this plan may be the answer to dream of many local people w h o would like some income from land now’ unproductive. New Zealand flax is reported as growing best along the coast where constant moisture will as sure gigantic growth, and pro duce long fibre. The Pilot will endeavor to obtain U. S. D. A. reports on the culture of this potential crop, and publish these as soon as possible.
