But the Belgian fiax farmer does not depend upon careful fertilizing or culti- vation alone to put the soil in proper condition for growing flax, a caref: tem of crop rotation playing a vi portant part. Regarding the order of rotation and even the time between two growths of flax on the sume land, there is the greatest differ- ence of practice in the sever istricts and even in different towns of the same | 80 no one absolute course of | district, cropping can be laid down.

In some other sections & much longer time elapses between two crops of flax, and one or two generations back even eighteen years were sometimes al lowed to intervene One informant stated to me that flax was most generally sown after leafy plants, such as potaioes or turnips, wheat and especially oat stubble being highly approved.

In the ‘pumphlet of instructions published | by the Irish flax supply association, the Belgiun rotation is given as flax follow- ing corn (grain or maize) after potatoes mangold, or beet, clover not being men- | tioned at all. After spading or plowing, the ground is well broken with the hurrow, often times being brought almost to the cond tion of garden soil. the seed planted, this time from the last until the latter part of ent upon the weather. It is considered of prime importance that a good quality of seed be used, and in Belgium the greatest care is taken to secure ouly such a quality of seed as will give the best results. The appea of the grain, its richness in oil, the noe of all foreign odo mustiness or bad condition, purity, and its germinating power, are all consid- ered, and no test neglected that will en- able the cultivator to what he is buying. The seed is most morning and har ing done any week in Februar: March, depend usually sown in the owed with a harrow set with very close teeth. This is can- sidered necessary for giving a uniform- ity 1o the stand of flux in the field, insur ing the same sts of fineness in th ultimate product for every part of the NS SR The amount of seed sown varies ordi- narily from two and one-half to three bushels per acre. After the sced has germinuted and the plant is about ready 10 appear above ground, or sometimes even after it has sprouted, the land is rolled, parily for the purpose of laying the soil firmly and partly to make the gurface even 1o facilitate the next opera- tion’ that demands the cultivatc ut- tention, the weoding; 1t is done when the flax plants are from 1 10 2¢ inches, or at the end of eight 10 ten days from time of sowing. In Flanders, and throughout Belgium as well, the seed is of secondary import- ance, and therefore 1o obtain as fine and strong 8 fiber as possible the flax is pulled before fully ripe, or when it is just beginning to turn Yellow, conrse flax ripening earlier than fine. The work begins usually the last week in June, sometimes a little earlier. The flax is pulled with great care, the ends being kept very even, and the straw laid in handfuls on the ground, s line of straw first being laid down, which serves 10 bind these handfuls when a sufficie quantity has been pulled to tie. {-ul into stooks to dry, the seed epds peing tied together, the bottom ends opened out, giving to the stook the ap- pearance of an A-tent.
