The history or the hemp industry IN the
United States Is an interesting one. Viz
GINA tried 20 establish hemp growing IN
colonial times At first II was enacted
by the house Of burgesses that as a prep

distribute 10 each tithable colOnist a quart
OF fax seed and a quart OF hemp seed. IN

harvest. one pound Of dressed fax and
one pound Of dressed hemp. or two
pounds Of either, under oath that the
tithable colonist had grown It. Later
bsunties were offered for the production
OF dressed hemp and fax. Col William
Byrd. of WestOver was one OF the hemp
growers who received bounties from the
State. But hemp growing never got TO
