BIG FLAX 'CROP IN
HURON COUNTY
(By Harry J. Boyle in The
Family Herald and Weekly Star)
•
,Nortli Huron bordering or close to'
the vast expanse of water known as
Lake Huron 'has always been natural-
ly adapted 'to the growing of flax. .The..
modifying influence of the lake, the
type of soil and; the abundance of
cloudy weather have all gone hand in
hand. to produce for the farmers of
the district a bumper crop of flax this
year,
The lead taken by Huron County.

required many men. • The lower picture shows a flax puller as it
is being towed along the Main • Street of Blyth.
Huron county is • one of the ;eldest
flax )producing 'I'secti-ons in Canada. -
Pioneering in the production of flax
has beenelthe 3. G. Anderson Co., of
Lueknow. The elder ' Mr. Anderson
has passed away, but the business is
'oper'ated by, W. B. Anderson in a
most energetic and progressive way.
This company survived the slump -at
,the cl'ose of the World , War when
fibre flax prices had reached unpar-
alleled heights' of price. They. turned
lie the. production of oil flax and
coarse fibre -which was used as tow
for upholstery. Mr. Anderson pion-
eere'd in the production of fine fibre
flax .seed, and 'in time. Anderson flax
seed commanded the highest price of
any on the • market, ,
Machines From" Belgium
Alert to the possibilities of flax W.
B. Anderson _last swing purchased a
culler and a scutching machine when
tee of each were brought,•,over from
Belgium. Farmer's of the district who
had grown ' cold to the idea of , flax"
.sere contacted, and a large acreage
of over' 2,000 acres was ' s•owin ,with
flax.
T. A. Gordon, of Seaforth, also saw
• the future of fibre flax and he con-
tracted for over 1,200 acres in the
vicinity 'of Seaforth and Blythe • A
mutual benefit policy of co-operation
was arranged between the Anderson
mills and the Gordon ones, o that
Loth could benefit.
Although modern methods have
made their inroads on the fibre fax
business, there a're still .those who
adhere to t'lie tested- and'"proven :Meth -
oda of production. Perhaps the most
colorful of these individuals is Owen
Geiger„ 84 -year-old resident of Huron
county and ex -warden of the county..
For over fifty% years .he has been a
foremost figure in the flax 'business
in -the district and: tis atet'eege this
year is quite high, especially in the
vicinity of Varna and Hensall .in
South .Huron. Ills flax is however be-
ing pulled by Indians from the Mun-
cey reserve, •
To the Faml'y Herald representa-
tive there were several . interesting
pointe in regard to the fibre. flax in-
dustry. Five pullers are now , operat-
ing• in, the- county, although by the
time this appears in .print, they. will
have completed the harvesting opera-
tions. Each puller is hauled by • a
tractor, but the pulling mechanism
itself is operated by a five horsepow-
er ' air-cooled gasoline engine. Thus
the speed of the anteing parts is main-
tained. regardless of the speed of the
tractor. The pulling mechanism is •so
built that as the machine travels a-
imed, the sitraw Is bent over and
gripped by endless rubber .belts and.
'pulled out of the'groutet. These grip-
ping belts functiou ,, at about six to
eight inches above the.,, ground so
that the short weeds and grasses are
passed over by the puller. The ma-
chine will pull about ten acres of flax
in a day whereas a man will pull
only aft acre in about four or five
f days.
"The pullers were invented by a
Belgian called Soenens," Mr. Ander-
son related, "and the Canadian Gov-
ernment bought two and hired the
:;roves for to come to Canada on May
' 9th. The boat was torpedoed but
the pullers were saved', and served as
e pat:tern to make others at a foundry
in Plessdsville, Quebec."
