Need More Hemp Seed.

The Hemp Order of the Wisconsin
Experiment association combines into
one great working body the hemp
growers of Wisconsin. Nine years ago
the department of agronomy started
hemp growing work in this state. 1t
has taken these years to realize fully
the fruits of this labor. Last year
nearly 5000 acres of hemp were grown
in Wisconsin, and the prospects the
coming year are that still more will be
sown. Wisconsin now ranks as the
second state in growing hemp. One of
the greatest difficulties that can be
solved for the hemp growers is the
production of hemp seed. There is no
reason why careful Wisconsin farmers
cannot do we'll by growing seed for the
members of the Hemp Growers Order
and help out in this worthy line of eff
fort.

The work done now may largely de-

or shrubs. Cut them out so your Vege-

What kind of a house would a car
penuer build without plan? How
would a garden which was planned,
row by row, while the planting was be-
ing done compare with one carefully
planned in advance of planting?
The professional gardener finds a
plan necessary for best results A def
mite plan is of even more Importance
for the small garden if the best re-
suits are to be secured. Haphazard,
hit-or-miSs garden planting usually re-
suits in poor use of the soil and les
sened production. A good plan saves
much valuable time at planting be-
cause the gardener doesn't have to
stand around and figure out where
things are to go.
AS soon as you know where your
garden is to be, measure your tract and
then plan your garden on paper A

land, no matter how small the plot,
make it produce food in 1917"
A great deal of casual help was fur
nished from this source last year, es-
pecially in harvest. Motor loads OF
men drove out from the towns in the
afternoons and evenings, and helped to
shock and to thresh. The harvest rip
ened rapidly in the west last year. A
farmer, single-handed on his quarter
section, or even half-section, would no
sooner finish cutting a 5O-acre field OF
wheat than he would find his oats were
ready to cut. He would leave MS
wheat cut and lying On the ground,
thinking it would be many days before
he could return to it. Along towards
evening a gang Of men from the nearby
town would drive along the sideroad
and see the sheaves lying on the
ground. Forthwith they would park
their car by the roadside, climb
through the strands Of barb wire, pull
off coats, vests and collars, and go to
work shocking. Next morning the
weary farmer would look over at his
wheat field and exclaim, "Well, what
do YOU know about that? l guess the
fairies have been busy on my prem
