Extract

Owing to the rapid rise in the price of linseed and linseed products during recent years, the question has arisen as to whether the farmer can grow linseed, for home consumption, at a smaller cost than he can buy it for under existing conditions. This question involves considerations as to which of the several kinds of linseed would be the most profitable to grow, and it becomes necessary to consider not only the agricultural requirements of the crop, but also the fact that the value of this crop is largely, if not entirely, determined by the quantity of oil produced per acre.
