PRODUCTION OF FLAX.
EXPERIMENTS CURTAILED.
FUNDS NOT FORTHCOMING. "It is a matter for much regret," stales a recent report by the Council of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, "that conditions in tho phormium industry have not improved so that funds for research might be forthcoming. It has been necessary, therefore, to cease investigations into the main lines that previously were being dealt with, namely, breeding and selection ol suitable varieties, control of yellow-leaf and chemical investigations on tho processing of fibre. Consideration of steps necessary for the maintenance of tho experimental areas already established is a matter claiming immediate attention."
