68 FLAX. 



X. 



WITHIN the lail twenty years a 

 derable quantity of flax has been grown in 

 Che Vale. The richer parts of it are not ill 

 adapted to this crop ; but whether thefe 

 parts are now gone over, or whether the re- 

 ftrictions of landlords have cheeked the fpirit 

 of cultivation, the culture of it is now evi- 

 dently on the decline. 



The flax-crop, however, being confined to 

 a few individual Diftridts, it may be proper 

 to give a iketch of its management in this, 

 although it cannot here be called a ilapte 

 crop.
