Nature Speeds to Overcome Shortage in Flaxseed
The U S Department of Agriculture boosted flax seed supply by selecting superior seed strains. Seed from East Lansing and Porto Rico was grown in 1918 and brought back to the United States for 1919 planting in Michigan and Oregon. The resulting fiber flax shows clear superiority over crops grown from standard commercial seed. The crop is now established in eastern Michigan and the Willamette Valley, with recent plantings in western Washington, southeastern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, and western New York.
