THE FLAX INDUSTRY.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR. [per press association.!
Wellington, November 26. — Further correspondence has been received from tho Agent-General on the subject of the flax industry. From enquiries made it is clear that the bulk of the hemp is really used only for cordage and binder twine, and there is no doubt that the better it is known tho more it is getting to be liked. If it only could be sent home properly dressed, and if colonists would devote thoir attention to the sending home of well cleaned hemp it would tend to popularise the fibre all the world over. In England especially the demand would steadily increase. It is the persistent shipment of ill-dressed stuff that does such harm.
