Wild Hemp Growing in
Canada May Be Used for
Making Binder TWine

Wild hemp has possibilities for the
manufacture of binding twine and its
cultivation may become a part of Can
ada's postwar industrial program.
The Indians of the coast and in
terror Of central British Columbia have
long been famous as carvers, weav-
ers and boat-buildcrs, but it was only
recently that attention was attracted
to the fine rope which they make from
wild hemp. At Awiligate in the Bulk
ley valley near New Hazelton there is
a village of Indians who display re-
markable skill in making rope from
the abundant wild hemp which covers
the surrounding country. They have
been making this rope for centuries
by method of their own, and it Is
so strong that they use it for towing
their heavily laden canoes up the cur
rents of swift rivers. This is convinc-
ing proof of its stoutness. They also
make twlne and thread from the hemp,
but not in such quantities as In the
days before they were able to pur-
chase these articles cheaply from
traders. The wild hemp closely re-
sembles the common fire weed of the
United States.

Ideas Worth Fortunes Are
at the Disposal of Those
of Inventive Turn of Mind

A soldier was once tramping along a
unit Hearing that his luck was
rather down, a casual friend put him
up for the night at an inn, and on
parting with him in the morning gave
him some tobacco. To show his graf
itude, the soldier parted with the only
thing he had which he thought would
be of service to his benefactor, the re-
cipe for making bootblacking. Out
Of that simple recipe was born great
polish firm.

Kansas With 11,184,O 900 Acres
Has 22.8 Per Cent of Winter
Wheat Area of United States

A reporter for the federal depart
ment of agriculture declares that Kan
sas, with 11,1S4000 acres has 22.S per
cent of all the winter wheat area of
the United States.
A full crop on this enormous acre
age, which is 13 per cent larger than
the record acreage Of last year, would
total 200,000000 bushels, or more than
one-third of the 509,304, 900 bushels for
the average annual consumption in the
United States, the report says.
Such a production, with guaran-
teed price of 50 a bushel, would bring
Kansas $4OO,O00,OO0. The December
report stated that the average condi-
tiOn is % per cent.
mot only is this the largest acre
age of wheat ever sown in n single
state, but it is probably the largest
acreage ever devoted to single grain
crop of any state" says the report.
"The Texas cotton crop is possibly the
only state crop that ever excelled it
in area"
A campaign for mobilizing a great
army to harvest the 1919 crop is be-
ing worked out by the Kansas City
office of the director general of the
federal employment service, in charge
of western farm labor. Last year the
federal employment Offices supplied
fully half of the 10000 men used in
Kansas and Oklahoma harvest fields.
1t is expected many thousand more
hands will be needed for the 1919
yield. Women, children and business
and professional men responded to the
''wheat won't wait" call and helped
gather the big war crop.

Indian Tribe lnhabiting
Attu Island, Alaska, Said
to Be the Poorest People

Windswept Attu island, n bit of
Alaska at the tip of the Aleutian
string, farther west than any other
part of North America, is the home of
a tribe of about 100 Aleut Indians,
said to be the poorest people, financial
ly, on earth.
Nature, however, provides these far
away Indians a living. From Attu
and the nearby islands and from the
surrounding waters they get eggs, fish,
geese, seals, occasionally walrus,
berries, and, lately, blue fox.
From the far south Pacific the
Japan current brings fuel. Driftwood
thought to be from the Philippine
islands, Hawaii and other southern
lands is scattered along Attus beaches.
No trees grow on the island.
For clothes the natives use goods
brought from the outside world by oc-
casiOnal traders. Those lacking in the
cloth of the whites make their gar
ments from grass and skins.
Like the Indian tribes of old, q ma
tive chief leads these Aleuts and acts
as their head in all matters, trading,
hunting fishing, as well as in the coun-
ellis of the tribe, and in the Russian
services to which the natives still ad-
here.
Russians first settled on the island
in l747, when they sailed west of the
Commodore islands, off Kamchatka,
and established an important trading
post on Attu. The Russians planted
herds of cattle and goats, but in a few
years both the Russians and their
stock left for other parts.

TIME TO START
POULTRY RAISING

AT no time in the history of the
standardized poultry business has
there been such favorable opportuni-
ty for the beginner or small breeder
to make a good profit from poultry.
There has never been time when it
would pay so well to keep even a small
flock in the back yard to supply the
family needs.
In conversation with backyard poul-
tryman, writes a poultry expert, we
learned that from nine hens he had
secured enough eggs during the past
year to supply fresh eggs for the table
use of family Of three, and they had
eggs on the table at least one meal
every day. His feed bill was very
little owing to utilizing the table
scraps, which, made into Il mash, made
up nice part of the daily ration. The
saving in meat and egg bills was no
little item of expense, and, as he put
it, "The expense and trouble are so
little it's just like finding them"
For the poultryman the future never
was brighter. The demand for stock,
eggs and baby chicks is sure to be the
greatest in the history of the business,
and those who have stuck through the
trying times of the past and those who
will take up the breeding of standard
bred poultry will reap a great harvest
during the next few years. The present
prices Of market poultry and eggs,
backed up by recent government re
ports on cold storage holdings, indi-
cate prices will continue to soar higher.
The man who is in the poultry bust
ness, or can get in even with u few
fowls will come out a long way ahead,
even if only few are kept for his
own family use-to reduce the ad-
vanced cost of living.

Chinese Use Ancient Method
OF Printing and Engraving

The Chinese follow the primitive
way of printing from engraved wooden
blocks. The matter to be printed is
first written, by means Of ink, upon pa
per, which is pasted face downward
upon block of pear or plum tree,
After the paper becomes dry it is
rubbed until an inverted impression of
the characters is left. Then the blank
spaces are cut away and the block is
turned over to the printer, who works
by hand. He takes care to ink the
characters equally and to avoid tearing
the impression.
