EMPIRE FLAX GROWING
REPORT ON DEVELOPMENTS. POSSIBILITIES OF SUCCESS. (Reuter's Telegrams.) (Received August 8, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 6. The interim report of the Empire Flax Growing Committee recommends the oontinuance of the Government's efforts to develop flax growing within the Empire until the full value is derived from the industry. The report says that flax growing in Nyassaland, Rhodesia and South Africa seems to present possibilities of success. The committee has received information pointing to the conclusion that flax can be grown successfully in Australia on a large scale if the economic conditions are such that the crop is likely to offer sufficient inducement, but pending further information it defers references in connection with Australia. The same applies to New Zealand.
