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.
