HF.AiP PRICE A BUSREL
GOES TO THE SIS MARK

Winchester, KY, March To-
When the last bushel OF hemp seed
on the local market was disposed of
recently at S12 it was declared that
such a price would likely never be
known again in the Bluegrass, but a
later report from out in the county
is that a farmer with about fifty
bushels, enough to sow seventy
acres, disposed of his holdings at
SIS per bushel, and many growers
who had determined to grow hemp
on account of the standing offer of
SO already for next years crop, have
offered as high as $50.
There has never been such a rush
to the hemp industry as now. Many
of the growers who plant but a
small acreage and who purchased
their seed early at from IS to Sc
per bushel, are confronted with the
proposition to sell at the high price
of $40. This means a profit of $3.50
for the farmer who purchased fifty
bushels of seed at IS, and it is like
ly that many of the smaller ones
will let go their holdings and plant
something else.
Hemp seed is now the most val
liable thing on the farm, and the in
surance agencies have been busy
lately writing policies on this impor-
tant piece of property. II will be
several weeks before time to SOW
the 1916 crop. David S. Gay. of
this city, one of the largest hemp
dealers in the country, who holds
big contracts with manufacturing
concerns, has had several men in
the Bluegrass the past few days
securing the country for seed, in an
effort to accommodate all growers
who will plant.
