Probably tho most Important fi
ber plant Is flax. Its original
homo Is not known, but it Is best
atlaptod to tho region nround tho
Modltorranonn Soa. Flax was usod
by tho prohlstorlc Lake Dwollors,
and tho mumlos found In tho pyra
mids and tombs of Egypt woro
wrappod In strips of linen.
Flax Is an annual growing from
two to tnrco foot high. Tho vor
loty usod for tho fibor has long
slender stoms which do not bocomo
branching until near tho top. The
plant usually has bluo ftowors but
In places tho tlowors aro whlto,
When theso blossoms drop off thuy
loavo small, long-Bhaped dark brown
scods. Flax Is raised for seed and
for tho fiber also. Characteristic?
which distinguish tho flax fibor
fineness, solidity and sunnlniionM.
Though tho flax fiber Is longor than
other flbors used In spinning, Its
length Is unnecessary to spinning
oocauso or mo naturo nf tho surfum
of tho fiber, which Is cylindrical In
snapo and nns small cracks running
arojind It. Theso cracks tond to
kcop tho fibor from slipping apart.
Flax will grow In almost any part
of tho United Slates as soil has moro
to do with Kb growth than cllmato.
It ncods n strong, rich soil. A
hoavy, woll drnlnod soil Is prcforrod
to a light sandy loam. Tho tlold
must bo woll cultivated nnd kept en
tirely frco from woods. Flax Boon
draws nil tho strength from tho soil
so n largo amount of fortllizor must
bo usod.
Tho seeds aro sown In tho spring
If n flno fibor Is wantod tho soods
aro sown vory thickly and whon In
full bliiBsom tho plants aro pullod up
and takon thru tho dlfforont proces
ses of dressing, if a coarso fibor Is
wantod tho .soods aro not so thickly
sown and tho plants aro allowod to
become partly matured boforo pull
Ing.
Whoro tho fibor Is to ho usod
most of tho field work la dono by
hand; but whoro sood alono is want
ed ordinary mowars nnd harvesters
aro usod for cutting, and thrashing.
Flax Is most successfully culti
vated In Ilolglum, This Is mostly
duo to tho fact that thoro Is an
abundanco of labor thoro, A vory
flno grado of fibor Is grown In Bol
glum, which Is usod In tho making
of flno linen nnd lacos; notably
Hrussols laco. It has boon provod
that tho valuo of tho flax fibor crop
In Ilolglum, for somo yoars, oxcoods
tho valuo of tho land on which It Is
grown.
Bosldoe Rolglum, other countries
producing flax for fiber are: Rus
sia, Austria-Hungary, Iroland, and
n small amount In tho United Statos.
Most of tho flax grown In tho United
Btolos Is grown for sood.
folghtcon Inchos long, with tooth
about ono half Inch apart. Those
aro set in n block of wood placod at
tho end of n long bonch on which
tho operator, sits.
Rotting Hi tho separation of tho
fibor from tho woody part of tho
Btalk. Thoro aro throo molhods
usod; dow, pool and stoam.
Dow rotting is usod whero a
largo meadow or open Hold Is near
at hand. Tho straw Is spread out
In rows at tho rato of ono ton to tho
aero. After it lms boon loft out
nbout two wookb tho dow caiiBos
tho woody articles to beconra soft
on od so that It may bo freed from
tho fibor.
Peel rotting Is tho mothod most
ty usod In Ireland whoro pools or
bog holes aro used for that purpose
Tho flax Is placod In Bheaves, and
tho shoavos aro lowered Into tho
wator so that they aro covorcd. but
at tho same tlmo kept oft tho -bottom
so that they will not gathor mud and
olhor sodlmont. They aro loft from
flvo to ton days. At tho ond of
this porlod tho fiber Is ontlroly do
comoscd and tho plant Is ready for
scutching. For this mothod largo
vats aro used. Tim flax Is put In a
frnmo work and placed In tho vat.
TJion enough warm water to cover
tho flax Is lot In, and wjion tho flax
Is covered Btoam Is turnod In until
It roaches a tempernturo of 90 do
grccs. It Is allowed to stand nnd
ferment which takos but a fow hours
In sixty hours tho stago of decom
position Is reached. Tho wator,
which has, bocomo gummy llko mucl
lago, Is drawn off. Tho flax Is then
takon out and drlod olthcr In tho
open air or drying rooms.
Attompts to uoparato tho fibor
from tho boon without rotting havo
boon unsuccessful.
Aftor drying tho fiber Is bloachod,
which requires from a, fow days to
sovorat weoks. Tho moBt success
fill bfoachlng Is dono In tho sun; but
chomlcnls aro used to somo oxtont.
Tho third procoss of dressing is
scutching or tho freeing of tho fibor
from tho woody partlclos. This Is
accomplished by passing It through
n sorlos of grooved rollorn which
breaks tho woody partlclos tint
lcavos tho fibor Intact. Tho flax Is
tbon passod botwoon long knives
which strlko It In tho direction of Its
length, separating tho fibers but
loavlng thorn Intact. This procoss
Is gono through throo times boforo
tho flax la ready tor market.
Aftor scutching tho fiber Is then
heckled, that Is, tho long thronds
or "lino" aro soparated from tho
short thronds of "tow". This Is
dono with n stool tooth comb In tho
places whoro hand labor Is usod.
