GROW HEMP IN KANSAS
Experiments on State Farms Prov
Successful, Reports Show.

The state of Kansas runs ten farms
at various institutions. ranging in size
from comparatively a few acres to the
huge 10000 acre farm maintained in
connection with the Fort Hays Normal
school and the agricultural experiment
tai work of the state agricultural COL
Iege.
AT present State Manager Kimbau
is making the rounds of the various
institutional farms, taking an inven-
tory of the products.
The farming enterprises of the
state have Jared we'll this season, de-
spite the general drouth," said State
Manager kimball. primarily the
farms of the charita BILE and penal in
situations have served greatly to cut
down the cost of feeding the inmates.
as they all grow an abundance of veg
etables. The dairying industries of
some of these institutions also are pro-
crossing nicely, returning real profit
to the state"
Perhaps the most interesting crop
grown this season by the state is the
experimental production of hemp at
the state penitentiary, Lansing. The
state owns half of an inElense island
in the Missouri river at that point, and
on this island fifty acres were planted
in hemp. The crop was prolific, the
stalks averaging about eight feet. Sam
pies of the crop which Manager KIM
ball has submitted to experts to de-
termine its qualities for use in the
binder Irvine factory at the state pris-l
on, have been declared first class.
The utilizing of hemp in the bind
cry Irvine plant is the real experiment,
rather than the growing of the hemp
itself. If it develops that hemp can
be substituted successfully for sisal.
great reduction in the price of bind
er Irvine in harvesting Kansas grain
crops will be the result. Practically
all the sisal used in the United States
is grown in Yucatan and SO great is
the demand for this product that the
United States food administration
now controls the distribution of it-in
the United States. At from rs to 35
cents a pound, binder Irvine repre-
seIts a big item now in the production
of grains. especially wheat.
The prison hemp crop is now under
going the process of curing-it being
necessary for the stalk to rot before
