We may add that as the fibre in question was not sufficiently fine, Mr Forbes used some of Mr Thome s prepared Sew Zealand flax for making the warp. The result was some, capital cloth suitable for sacking purposes, as our friends in Canterbury will have an opportunity of judging. The same package also contains a piece of cloth made from, fibre prepared by Mr Thorne. Mr Forbes spares no trouble to prOTO the usefulness-of this fibre for textile fabrics.
