intensive farming required no difficulty in the germination of seed as in the case of sugar beets no expensive hand weeding as Is necessary with flax All our farmers know well how to prepare their

about 4 cents per pound here free on board cars here This pays fdO per acre of which $30 covers all expenses leaving $30 net profit a fair result but handicapped by the long wait of nine months after harvest before the farmer gets his pay for crop and labor as well as by the Injury to the quality of the hemp fiber by the long exposure to weather and the defective method of decortication But all this is we Pain to le avoided In the near future as a few public-spirited citizens are making a most praiseworthy effort to make and put in the field next harvest some of the latest Improved and well vouched-for new deccrrtlcators These machines do rapid and effective work in the field the day the hemp stalks are mowed down securing one-third more liber per acre of double the old quality and sale value besides saving nine months' delay to the fanner In receiving payment This higher quality sells for 8 cents a pound Bast and thus nearly doubles the profit per acre which will no dopbt largely
