The largest hemp crop raised in Gar
rard county in many years will be plant
ed this year, and a much larger acreage
will be sown if the seed could be pro
cured. Hemp seed is higher than in
many years and is very scarce. few
farmers will probably raise few acres
of hemp for the seed only. SO as to be
able TO supply the demand next year
At the present prices. hemp is one of
the most profitable crops raised in this
section, and is the least injuries to the

ager Jimmie La Fontaine got together
yesterday and arranged for . show on
that day between Tommy Lowe. the local
veteran, and Willie Houck, Of Phila-

advantage, each time Referee P. F.

been able to boast Of better man than
Tommy Lowe, a. he always fights and
gives moneys worth in every fight in
which he has appeared since the organ

met the best in his class. beaten many
and losing to . few and as yet he has
never issued . protest about the de-
