T invite the public to a close investigation of my letters, published 

 in your popular Journal, and of my pamphlets. I invite the public to 

 co-operate with the " National Association lately formed for the pur- 

 pose of affording instruction and assistance in the cultivation of Flax, 

 the use of the seed to fatten cattle, box-feeding, and summer grazing, 

 &c. &c." And lastly, I invite attention to the circumstance of a 

 branch to the National Association having been formed in "West Nor- 

 folk, which is supported by the largest and most opulent agriculturists 

 in the kingdom. Thus has the prediction, that extensive occupiers 

 could not be induced to grow flax, already met a negative, and soon, I 

 trust, their example will be followed by every farmer who desires to 

 obviate the necessity of purchasing either food for his cattle or manure 

 for his land. 



I am, Your obedient Servant, 



John Waknes, Jun. 



Trimingham, Norfolk, 

 Feb. 16, 1844.
