POSSIBILITIES IN SEED FLAX. 



The production of flaxseed in the 

 United States since 1909 has been less 

 than the demand, and in Bulletin 

 No. 785 of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, "Seed Flax Production," 

 it is shown that under certain conditions 

 it may be profitable to pay more atten- 

 tion to this crop. 



In this country the production of flax- 

 seed has always been a pidneer industry 

 because the crop does wel^l on new land, 

 is readily marketable and' brings a high 

 price in proportion to its bulk. At the 

 present time it is grown most exten- 

 sively in Minnesota, the Dakotas and 

 Montana. But it can be grown under a 

 wide variety of conditions, and there is 

 no reason why more flax should not be 

 raised on old land in the upper' Missis- 

 sippi valley. The bulletin warns pros- 

 pective growers, however, that east of 

 Minneapolis and Duluth there are few 

 markets where flax can be sold in less 

 than carload lots, and east of Chicago 

 none at all. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Willis S. Pino, of Providence, R. I., 

 inaugurates the seed season with dou- 

 bled store capacity, new fixtures, new 

 stocks and bright prospects. 



Halliday Bros., of East Providence, 

 R. I., fortunate in securing seed pota- 

 toes, are supplying their trade pro rata. 

 It is noted that seeds sold in packets 

 are as liberally filled as usual. 



W. E. Barrett & Co., Providence, E, I., 

 have taken over the business of the 

 Providence Seed Co., the building occu- 

 pied by it being razed to make way 

 for a skyscraper. W. A. Brown, for 

 many years manager of the extinct 

 house, now is head of the supply depart- 

 ment of W. E. Barrett & Co. 



Franklin & Crosby, Danielson, Conn., 

 report an early run of seed orders 

 checked somewhat by another snowfall, 



Ross Bros. Co., of Worcester, Mass., 

 were patriotic on Washington's birth- 

 day and gave all hands a holiday, busy
