Adaptation of Fiber Flax to the South Atlantic States (Classic Reprint) by Brittain Bragunier Robinson PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Adaptation of Fiber Flax to the South Atlantic States Results are recorded for the first time upon the yield of fiber flax grown in the South Atlantic States, and reports are presented upon the quality of fiber obtained. Fiber flax is a contract crop, and a farmer should not grow it without first having a contract that guarantees him a market for his crop when harvested. Previous experimental trials with fiber flax have not included the South Atlantic States in the area adapted for fiber flax in the United States because of climatic conditions and soil types. Three years' results at Swannanoa, N. C., gave lower than average yields. The fiber was of average quality but lacked strength when spun. Numerous experiments in Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee have given conflicting results. In general the flax failed, but two crops were average and one was exceptionally good. The fiber was judged below the average of European fiber. Fiber flax grown at several agricultural experiment substations in Virginia gave average yields when fertilized. The yields were low in 1930 because of abnormally dry weather. The quality of the fiber was slightly below the average of European fiber and lacking in nature. A second crop of fiber flax upon the same land usually resulted in failure. This method should never be attempted. The results of these experiments indicate that the conditions of soil' and climate are generally not well adapted to the production of fiber flax in the South Atlantic States.
