HEDGES OF FLAX.
- SHELTER AND PROFIT. . A flaxmillor urges that farmers should plant flax liberally around the boundaries of,' their paddocks. It would prove a valuable'.shelter, particularly for sheep ' and lambs, and would yield a good income when it became old yiough to be cut.'. The plant appears to bo admirably suited for hedges uii,to 10 or 12ft., and as its roots do not sjlread it does not interfere with the cultivation* of the land close around it. In the past"' it has been almost a general' practice .t-oi 'uso for hedges various plants that have lib'-other value. The time has como when a'.selection should bo made of plants which, while:good for hedges, are capable of giving a crop of some sort in addition.
