FLAX MOVEMENT IN IRELAND. 



167 



Having left unnoticed the Standard's views on the 

 saving of Flax-seed, and 'Flax as the most impoverishing 

 crop sown,' I refer the reader to Sir Kobert Kane's practical 

 experiments, as noticed in this work, to upset such theoretical 

 assertions, and I must beg the reader's attention to the returns 

 that I have procured, to show the progress of Flax this year, 

 1864, over that of last, a matter that must please every 

 man who wishes to see Ireland prosper.
