Oil and Cake from the seed, and otherwise to utilise the The„Cotopimy would promote the culti vation of the plant as being a valuable - auxiliary in the general farm rotation, t and be prepared. to purchase the crops either scutched or in the straw.- The teed could be dealt With in the crushing nup, and the Oil and Cake would form oitfni commodities of every day consump tion. - Itdi .‘proposed to erect Scutching Mills in the districts where the crops are grown, and a 'Factory in a central posi tion^''convenient to the line of railway, whereall other processes of manufacture ' i *#Bfbddmdertaken. The great consump tion<tpf Binding Twine and String for pawing ss^ ordinary purposes, give pro mise of a demand for all the Fibre that imi be, produced for some time to come anil its adaptability for the manufacture of paper givea.additional value to the ma- Tbe believe that farmers wiP lo well by planting moderate areas, . workqd nod suitable soils, and that the produce will amply repay them for tpeir ontlay and trouble. The anticipated Impetus to the meat trade by the adop tion of the freezing process, gives great hope that Oilcake will be largely used, its manufacture will be an impor . t§nt- feature in the enterprise. ‘ 'After careful calculations as to. the cost of.plant and working expenses, the. pro mpters are assured that Ihere will remain a handsome margin for profit, andthatthe industry will ultimately develop into one ofthe, most important in the colony. , It ,is estima Uid that £4,000 will be suf- L fioient to acquireland, erect the necessary ■ buildings, provide all requisite machinery, and meet the preliminary expenses. TJiq Promoters have in contemplation .the employment of an expert in Flax Rowing and manipulation, whose services weald bo available to farmers requiring instruction inth e details. 'After a reasonable number, of the shares have been applied for, the promotei a in tend to take immediate steps to secure and erect the necessary machinery. Forms of; Application can be obtained from the Secretary, Hereford street, Christchurch ; at the Bank of Australasia, Christchurch, aud its Agencies throughout Cordner, Sefton ; and Messrs Webb Btctyeley and Co., Southbridge and Lees • ton.
