Hand labor in every ; phase d the, .industry has been considered in dispensable from harvesting, to j spinning, i Flax and linen : workers have followed, without I question, traditional prac y tices. : ' s - 4 I , - i 1 ,' ' . At this time .there has been successfully developed every mechanical factor to take the place of hand labor. Machines for pulling, machines forjieeeding, machines for decorticat ing, and machines for. preparing fiber for manufacture. With ''these.machines; all tested and tried out under normal every day conditions, the farmer welcomes a 1 new,- easily handled 1 crop; the flax mills an economical profitable occupation; and the spinners and weavers a new material that costs less than ! cotton at present prices with a resultant product that is. the . most desirable and durable textile ver discovered for do . mestlc and general use. -O;-;) v- ! - ; -:; Before the World war, Russia produced about 85 per cent cf the flax fiber used in making Unens and sold it to the , : manufacturers of Ireland, France, Belgium, America and oth er countries, j From the very start of the war Russia ceased ' to function agriculturally and thus was lost to the world its greatest supply of flax fiber for linen."; J 'f In the early days, flax-was grown and linens made-in the 5 United States, but hard work such as hand pulling and retting caused the farmer to discard the crop for the growing of ; corn and other farm crops which could be handled by machin , ery thus not being able to compete with; the cheap hired Inbor of Europe caused the discontinuance of the industry.' The United States is the largest market' in the world for ' commodities of all kinds,, and especially for fabrics, and in " stead of growing all its own fTSx and manufacturing its. own 1 1 n n 3, it imports most of them causing the consumers to pay ::n iir.pcrt duty of from 35 to E5 per cent.' : " . -" : The Future Assured i The outstanding feature of flax that marks it as the com-ir.-j ,Treat ladnstry of -the United "States is the fact that the ir rl:ct c ;ot fcs bat stabla fcr,3fears to come.t The supply c f i". :t fcr ytzrz essnot bcn to-meet the demand, that is : .
