LINEN FIBRE GROWING
OFFER TO LINCOLN COLLEGE (Special to THE SUN.) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. The Lincoln College Board of Governors discussed yesterday offers from the Agricultural Department of assistance in raising crops of linen fibre, from which Irish linseed could be manufactured. The Hon. D. Buddo said the growing of linseed at the college would add to its activities an industry which should prove profitable to the province. He was convinced that linseed would grow along the Selwyn River. It required a stiff sub-stratum and surface drainage. Along the foothills of North Canterbury there was a very suitable soil.
The director, Mr. R. E. Alexander, said that when plenty of seed was available the college could invite offers to grow the linseed. None would be available this year.
