The Flax Growers Bounty List is also known as The Spinning Wheel Survey of Ireland. The list was compiled in 1796 by the Irish Linen Board. The list consisted of about 60, 000 growers who were given incentives for growing flax. Flax was a very important crop in Ireland.The Board decided on a scheme of incentives to get people to grow the crop. Indiviuals were rewarded with 4 spinning wheels for planting one acre of flax. Three quarters of an acre entitled the grower to 3 spinning wheels. One-half acre of flax brought the grower two spinning wheels. A grower of one-quarter acre of flax got one spinning wheel. Flax growers who cultivated five or more acres got a loom or spinning wheels to the value of five shillings.
"To the person who should sow between the 10th day of March and the 1st day of June 1796 with a sufficient quantity of good sound flax-seed, any quantity of land, well prepared and fit for the purpose not less than 1 Acre -- 4 Spinning Wleels, 3 Roods -- 3 ditto, 2 Roods --2 ditto and 1 Rood -- 1 ditto. And to the person who should sow in like manner any quantity of like land, not less than 5 Acres, a loom or wleels, reels or hatchells to the value of 50 shillings, and for every 5 Acres over and above the first 5, a like premium"
