HEMP

The successful cultivation of hemp
IN Russia may be accounted for
hrst' IN the mode OF cultivaiing; next.
IN the climate, and finally, in the Pc
cnliarIty OF the soil in the different
provinces. Great attention Is also
paid to the preparation and selection
oil the ground for the purpose OF
planting hemp, and the immersion
and breaking Of it on the spot, as well
as lis fabrication, VIZ, beating and
cleaning.
The culture of hemp successfully
depends upon the selection of The soil
the selection of the seed. and the
manner OF Sowing--the examination
OF the piants--the care in harvesting,
and rotilng, which is done by INNER
sion IN standing or running water.
and by dew. The water rotting is
the most important branch; ii should
be done in a running stream. if posi-
blc; care must be taken however,
that the stream. contains no solution
OF iron, which will give the hemp "A
reddish color.
A rapid current is not TO be recon-
mendea, unless some slack water can
be obtained by damming up the
stream. A moderate running stream
is considered the best. The bundles
