The countryman's letter. Containing a few remarks concerning the bounty flaxseed imported into Ireland: with choice directions for sowing the same, and preferring its increase so as to continue in perfection for at least twenty years: some methods laid down to prevent sham proposals and cheats, frequently practis'd by undertakers in obtaining this seed, and to oblige them to be more careful hereafter in saving its produce; and also, two schemes to continue for two years, and then subject to further consideration; the latter of them shewing to a demonstration, that instead of being at the expence of nine or ten thousand pounds, for the importation of three thousand hogsheads, we may raise at home thirty six thousand, and have a fine stock of twenty seven thousand hogsheads of it by us in the year 1733, by allowing then in premiums only thirteen thousand five hundred Pounds
