(for sowing)

Bart - See sheigh, etc. Beet - A bundle or sheaf of tied flax crop or straw. Boll, Flax in - The growing flax when the seed capsules have formed. Braird (n. or v.) - Flax in the seedling stage. To germinate in the field. Butt (v.) - To level the root ends of straw at any stage by vibrating it upright on a flat surface either by hand or mechanically. Crop, Flax - Flax at any stage before it is processed. A fair average flax crop would be 2 tons per acre of air dried crop, yielding 10 per cent of clean seed and 10 per cent of scutched flax. But it should be remembered that the actual long fibre content of the straw averages 20 per cent. D.N.O.C. - A proprietary spraying mixture used as a weedicide on flax. Drill, Flax - A sowing machine made primarily for sowing flax in narrow rows at an appropriate rate. Fiddle - A sowing box with a hand-worked distributor for sowing flax and other seeds broadcast. Frandy - See Sheigh, etc. Gait - A large handful of loose, pulled flax stood up on end in a cone form to dry. See also Retting. Grades - Under the Ministry of Supply home flax scheme, flax crop is graded 1, 1X, 2, 2X, 3, 3X, or for seed and tow only in descending order of quality. Lodge - A lodged crop is one bent or laid flat by the weather. Pulling - The operation of harvesting flax by pulling it from the ground. It may be hand pulled or machine pulled. Pulling Machine - Any type of harvesting machine which pulls flax by mechanical means and delivers it either loose or tied in beets (q.v.). Sheigh, Frandy, Bart, Windrow - Local names for forms of compound stocks where a number of beets are built up and usually roughly thatched as an intermediate stage between stooking and stacking. Shock, or Stook - To set up a number (usually six a side) of beets in inverted ??? form to dry. Stook - See Shock or Stook. Weeds - The chief weeds in flax and their local names are: Charlock, Carlick or Preshaugh (Brassica Sinapis); Wild Radish, White Charlock, or White Carlick (Raphanus Raphanistrum); Poppy or Redweed (Papaver Rhoeas); Knotweed, Knotgrass, or Crabgrass (Poly-gonum aviculare); Good King Henry or Fathen (Chenopodium sp.); Persicaria or Redshank ( Polygonum Persicaria); Bine or Bindweed (Convolvulus sp. or Polygonum Convolvulus.) Windrow - See sheigh, etc.

Aspirator Boll Crushers - A pair of rollers used for crushing the bolls and releasing the seed, when the bolls have been removed by combing. Bough - The seed branches of the flax plant. Cavings - The reject arising from the bottom riddle of a roughing-out machine and consisting mostly of bough, bits of broken straw and some root ends. Conabings - The term usually applied to the short straw rejected by a de-seeding machine. De-seeding - The operation of removing the seed bolls or capsules from the flax crop. De-seeding Machine - A machine fitted with a comb or combs and a conveyor system for combing off the bolls mechanically or with rollers for crushing the bolls and thus releasing the seed. The latter machine is known as a Dutch roll. Ripples, or Ripple Comb - A large iron comb used for de-seeding flax crop by hand. Roughing-out Machine - A machine for roughly separating the seed from the chaff, short straw, weeds and other extraneous material produced during de-seeding. Screenings - Broken flax seed or flat flax seed unsuitable for sowing, but suitable for selling for stock feed. Seed Cleaner, or Dresser - A machine for finally cleaning the seed to the required purity for sowing. Straw, De-seeded - Flax crop from which the seed capsules have been removed. Usually about 70 per cent of the crop weight. Straw, Tow - Flax straw in a tossed and broken condition. The term is sometimes applied to the short straws combed out by a de-seeding machine, but usually to the straw resulting from the threshing a flax crop too poor for normal processing.

A flax seed disease, the cause of which is a fungus, which occurs on the seed. The disease is transmitted by the sowing of infected seed, and primary infection of the seedlings occurs from the seed, at or soon after brairding. Seed for sowing purposes should never be saved from a crop which has suffered from " seedling blight." Attempts have been made to disinfect infected seed, and thus render it safe for sowing, but no method which is satisfactory on a practical scale has yet been evolved. (Carter.)

The following terms as given under the authority of the Ministry of Supply, are reprinted here with their permission. Flax Plants - of the species Linum usitatissimum cultivated for the production of seed or fibre or both. Flax, Fibre (Fibre Flax) - The variety of flax cultivated mainly for fibre production. Flax, fibre strands, or bundles - The aggregates, about 32 in number, of ultimate fibres which run from the level of the seed leaves up to the top of the branches of the flax straw.

Flax Seed, Blue Blossom - Seed of a blue-flowered variety of flax. Flax Seed, Commercial - Flax seed usually named after its country or place of origin, but without a pedigree and without guarantee as to colour of flower. Flax Seed Germination - That percentage by number of a sample of seed which shows visible signs of growth within a stated time when kept under standard conditions of temperature and moisture. Flax Seed Germination, Standard - An arbitrary standard of germination of 90 per cent or more, incorporated in the flax growers' contract of the Ministry of Supply. Flax Seed, Lital - The generic name given to pedigree flax seed of several strains bred by the Linen Industry Research Association, Lambeg, and derived from those initials. Flax Seed, Minty - Seed which has been attacked by species of mites, usually owing to it being cracked and too damp. It is characterised by a dusty appearance and a distinct musty sweet smell. Flax Seed, Mixed Blue Blossom - A term used in Northern Ireland for seed from two or more blue-blossomed pedigree flaxes mixed together. Flax Seed, Pedigree - Seed of a strain of flax which has been improved by some recognised system of flax breeding and originally derived from the bulking of the seed from a single flax plant.

Ashmouni (or "Upper Egyptian") is one of the older cottons of Egypt, and is the poorest in quality, being weaker, more irregular and dirtier, than the other varieties. It has a staple of about 1¹/₈-in. and is used mostly for the coarser wefts. Recently, complaints have been made regarding the mixing of this cotton with Mitafifi, which reduces the quality of the Mitafifi and produces a deteriorated seed for sowing purposes.

" Browning " is a very familiar feature in flax fields in the North of Ireland. It begins to appear not long before pulling time, in more or less isolated and restricted spots. These, however, rapidly spread in extent, particularly under wet weather conditions, until the whole crop takes on a brown appearance instead of being of a golden-yellow colour. " Browning" considerably reduces the yield of fibre; and, since it is a fungus disease, which, like seedling " blight," is transmitted by means of infected seed, no attempt should be made to save seed for sowing purposes from a crop suffering from " browning," since no satisfactory practical method of rendering infected seed free from the disease has yet been worked out. " Stem-break " is caused by the same fungus as that which causes " browning " and results when the attack is fairly low down on the stem, and at an early stage. Owing to the attack the tissues of the stem are weakened and the latter becomes partially fractured, although often not entirely killed.
