The article analyzes a worldwide flax seed shortage driven by reduced acreage in India and Europe, plus high demand for linseed oil. Argentina is central to price formation with government support and export duties. U S import needs rise as domestic use nears 28 million bushels, while 1918 figures show a continuing global shortfall.

Pure seed yields clearer flax for Hadley near Glasgow
In 1918 F B Hadley planted 160 acres of common flax and 160 acres of pedigreed N D R 52 seed. Both crops shared land and conditions, but the pure seed field matured earlier and yielded about one bushel per acre more. He cites uniform growth and fewer undeveloped grains and asserts clean seed’s value in weed-free planting and selling certified seed at a premium.
