A short 1891 article in Science summarizing a U.S. consul's report from Odessa on flax growing in European Russia. It covers the northern fibre region and southern seed region, acreage by government, yields, seed sowing and harvest practice, soil needs, and the poor quality of Russian fibre compared with Irish and western European flax. It closes by urging American farmers, especially in the Northwest, to grow flax for fibre and set up linen, twine and textile industries.
