JRELAND. 
An encouragement is held forth by the 
Linen Board for the growth »f Hemp in 
Ireland, by offering the feed thereof gratis 
to. all poor farmers who have not been able 
to provide themfelves with flax-feed. A 
fchedule has been publifhed of the quantity 
of manufa&tured hemp imported for the laft 
year; and the fum paid, within that period, 
for thet article alone, araounts to no lefs a 
fum than two millions fterling! a fum, , me 
this country, certainly of great magnitude, 
and which, if brought into general circula- 
tion, would prove of infinite relief to the 
neighbouring poor, and induftrious cottagers, 
who, it is well known, are the principal 
growers of flaxin-Ireland. Jnaddition to the 
encouragement offered by the Linen Board, 
the ‘Loras of the Admiralty have FrsatiGed 
to give afum of not lefs than 6el. per ton 
for ali clean hemp delivered to them: added 
to this, flax grounds in many parts of the 
kingdom are fubje¢t to an acreable tythe of 
from 10s, to 15s. when hemp is, by a fpecific 
act of parliament, fubjedt only to 5s. per acre, 
and no more, to be proportioned according te 
the quantity; and it is an eftablithed fact, 
that there are no grounds that will producé 
flax but will anfwer as well for the growth 
of hemp.
