It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen , manufacturers , and also manufacturers'of Hempen goods , havejinaterially suffered froin a deficient supply of . flax ' and hemp . This state of deficient supp ly arises frbm the fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has materially decreased instead of increased with the . growing- requirements of our linen manufacturcs . ' Our national commercial statistics show that , out of 150 , 000 tons of flax annually consumed . in the United Kingdom , not ! more than 50 ^ 000 tons are of home growth . In addition to this enormous importation of flax for our linen manufactures , we have also imported hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption . ¦ The liuc-u ir tanufaeturers of the United Kingdom have declared that they are ready to take any quantity which can be grown at home , and at such prices as will be more remunerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce of His lands . . Tli « promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of this country that no more profitable crop can be cultivated than that of flax , whenever their system of rettbries , and . improved mechanical treatment of flax fibre , shall be adopted in the localities of its growth . The- main feature Of the company ' s plan is , that it will take the trouble of preparing the flax for market entirely on * the hands , of the grower , by becoming the purchasers of ' . ' the crop , and thus leaving 1 the groweu entirely free from the hazards of bad harvesting-weather , and at the samo time ensuring him a certain handsome profitable return for all the flax lie can produce and deliver to the company ' s depots and rettpries . The company ' s operations will also embrace-the whole of the requisite process of preparing- the flax and similar fibrous substances ready for the spinner . The system of preparation adopted by this company is the subject of a patent , the invention of Mr . George Albemarle Cator , a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and its preparation for the spinner his especial study for many years past , ho having fully demonstrated the gTent economy of labour and the very great improvement in the , quality of the flax , fibre , which is the result of his improved system of flax preparation . The system will be found fully detailed in the " ¦ Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax Cultivation and Preparation , " to bo had ftco from the Seoretary of tho company and its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of tho great importance of tho borne cultivation of flax , as insuring a regular supply of raw material to the very important national manufactures of linen and hempen goods ; half-stuff for paper-makers ; and'the importance of the seed for Unseed oil and oil-oako . As an example of the intended operations of tho "company , the following is quoted from tho full prospectus of tho company : — . By rottories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flux-fibre from tho raw plant for the spinner ana manufacturer will be carried out through all ltB stages . It is estimated that two retteries , on the soalo proposed as tho base of operations , will require eight patent machiues , and , if constantly at work for ( say ? 309 clays in the year , will produce annually 1 , 200 tpna of flax-flbro , 7 , 000 quarters of linseed , and « 00 tons of tows ; and allowing AQO per ton to bo obtained for tho flax-Abro , 60 s . per quarter for tho Hnseod and # 5 per ton for tUo tows , there is a gross yield of £ 85 , 500 . Assuming that it will take as much as ton tons of flaxetraw unseeded to produce one ton of flax-flbro , at a cost of 41 ,. per ton , and 18 ? . per ton of flbrofor all oxpowjQB , the total outlay will bo 6 \> , O 00 L , leaving a balance to bo divided of 15 , 000 / ., or nearly SOpor cent , upon 00 , 000 * . ( tho coat of tho buildings , plant , and machinery , together with a sufndiont working capital fov two retteries ) , which Is wholly Irrespective of tljo dividend that may bo expected from licence duos from ptliqr rottorlus j and ns the oporiitlonw of the company are extended , tho dividends will bo in proportion .
