AND USE IN UNITED STATES. 



These are some of the counties where 

 the well-known " North River flax " is 

 grown, Rensselaer County being " the seat 

 of the linen industry in this country." x 

 Turn now to the statistics of the imports 

 of unmanufactured flax into the United 

 States, the figures being taken from the 

 Agricultural Report of the United States 

 for 1877, except for the two last years. 



It is instructive but tiresome to multiply 

 tables. Some further tables, giving the 

 most recent statistics, are to be found in 

 the appendix.
