To the Travelling Farmer.
THE facts and information stated in No. 118 of the National Gazette, induce me to ask your opinion on the best method to obtain good crops of flax in the middle states of America, and information of the most approved practice in Ireland in this particular, if you have competent knowledge thereof? As our general crops are far inferior to those made in other countries, you will render an essential service to the United States, if you can point out the cause or causes thereof, and intimate the remedies. Your offer to answer every enquiry which shall be addressed to you on agricultural subjects, induces me to hope your speedy notice of this application, from a Farmer who is desirous to promote domestic manufactures.
