Book Description
Excerpt from World Flaxseed Prospects: January 30, 1933 Weather conditions in Argentina have been oenerally favorable for the harvesting of the flaxseed crop. Mucn of the acreage, however, is giving low yields although some 01 the late sown flaxseed proved better than early indications presaged. Since threshing operations have got full; under way in Canada the flaxseed crop 1s found to be about 20 per cent less than the September estimate of bushels. According to the latest iorecast bushels will be produced this year compared with the revised esti mate of bushels harvested last year. Both acreage and production of flaxseed in France have been considerably reduced this year. The area planted to flaxseed in that country is estimated at acres compared with in 1931 - 32, while present indications point to an output of bushels against bushels last season. Rumania, on the other hand, has again increased the acreage sown to flax to acres this gear compared with last year, which was the largest flaxseed acreage Since 1918. Latvia shows a decrease in both flaxseed acreage and production this season in spite of aid given by the Government, whereby farmers are >aid a fixed price even though this price is well above the market irice in order to recompense them for the difference between tne cost of production and the foreign market price. The first official estimate of the area sown to flax seed in India for the 1933 harvest was L, iven as acres compared with tne first estimate last season of acres and the final estimate of acres. Reports frdm India state that more rain is needed although the condition of the crop is still satisfactory.
