Seeding of flax was reported beginning as early as April 8-15 but very little 

 of the work was done until the second week of May. The seeding rate was fairly 

 heavy the rest of May and through the second week in June when it ended rather 

 abruptly. The earliest flax bloomed about the third week of June, but the main 

 crop started the first week in July, reached a peak the second week of July with 

 fairly large weekly proportions for later seedings continuing through July and 

 the first two weeks of August.
