Seed flax shortage prompts Katanning seed plan
The Lands Office Katanning holds a limited supply of graded flax seed in bushel bags at about 18 shillings per bushel.

A farmer can sow for experimental trials to benefit districts and revenues, with linseed promising as a profitable crop under proper care, and late May to early June planting advised if rains permit.
