IT-has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufacturers , and also manufacturers of hempen goods ; have ^ naterially suffered from a deficient supply of flax and hemp . This state of deficient supply arises from the ' fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain lias materially decreased instead of increased With the growing requirements of oiu * linen manufactures . Our national commercial statistics show that , out of 150 , 000 tons of flax , annually consumed . iri 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 humireds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption . . The linen manufacturers 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 moire reniuneratiYe to the agriculturist than the usual produce of his lands . The promoters of the Rational 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 rettories , 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 off : the hands of the grower , by becoming the purchasers of the crop , and thus leaving the grower entirely iree from the hazards of bad harvesting- weather , and . at the same time ensuring him a certain handsome-profitable return for all the flak he can produce aud deliver to the company ' s depots and rettories . 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 tills company is tup subject of » patent , the invention of Mr . George Albemarle Oator , 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 great economy of labour and the very great improvement in . the quality of the flax fibre , which , is tho result of his Improved system of flax preparation . The system -will be foundfuljy detailed in the "Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax Cultivation and Preparation , " to bo had free from the Secretary of the company and its agents ; In which will also be found an exposition of the great importance of the home cultivation of flax , as insuring a regular supply of raw material to tho very important national manufactures of linen and hempen goods ; half-stuff for paper-makers ; ana the' importance of the seed for linseed oil and oil-cake . As an example of the intended operations of the "company , tho following la quoted from tho full prospectus of tho company : — ¦ ' ¦ By rettorioa will be understood establishments whore tho preparation of flax-flbro tcom the row plant for the spinner Mid manufacturer will bo carried out through ail its stages . Tt is estimated that two rottorios , on tho scale proposed aa tho baso of operations , will require oight patent machine * , and , if constantly at work rov ( sayYSQO days in tho year , vm produce annually 1 , 800 tons of flax-flbro , WOO ¦ quwtorfl of linseed , and 000 tons of tows s and allowing £ 60 jpev ton' to bo obtained for tho flax-llbro , 00 s , per quarter for Uiq lineood , and &b por ton for tho tows , there ft a grows yloU of ; € 8 / 5 , 5 OO . . .
