U S flax seed supplies at fifteen year low
The 1933 US flax seed crop totaled 6,785,000 bushels, the smallest in 15 years, with last year at 7,125,000 and earlier years over 10,000,000. First quarter 1933-34 crushings rose, imports were large, and prices held around 70 percent above last season amid tight domestic stocks and heavy foreign imports. Linseed oil output rose substantially, prices stayed above year-ago levels, and tariffs aim to protect American farmers against foreign competition without flooding the market.
