Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of the Status and Possibilities of Flax Production and Manipulation in Canada
An important advantage of hand broadcasting over machine sowing is that a man's tracks leave no deep pits in which seed may be lost or buried too deeply for a uniform growth to result. Unless the hand work is well performed, however, the use of the drill is to be recommended.
Though the best ?ax is obtained from fields (chie?y in Europe and Japan) on which no horse is allowed after the seed is sown, the prevailing Canadian practice has been to cover the seed with a harrow.
