judges reduced the better essays to
16 in number for the final decision.
Each Of the judges then indicated his

SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS
Animals Convert Noxious Plants Into
Wool and Mutton and Add
Fertility to Soil.

did you ever stop to consider what
a band Of sheep Is worth as a weed
exterminator?" asks a California de-
partment Of agriculture expert. SIN
the first place the band is worth as
much in the destruction Of weeds as
a man with team and cultivator or
weeder through the season.
Secondly, there is a big difference
in cultivating weeds out or moving
them and sleeping them off. Guilt
waiting or moving is an expensive
method for which you get nothing but
little added humus to the soil,
whereas sheep turn your weeds into
marketable products at good prices, to
say nothing of added fertilizer in the
form of sheep manure deposited on
the fields.
at has been remarked that small
band Of sheep adds $1,000 to the av-
erage appearance of the ranch in five
years time, from, the standpoint of
weedless fields. However, in the long
run It is more than that. 1t Is an
actual source Of steady income"

INCREASE SHOWN
IN FIBER CROPS
Due Largely to Cutting Off Of
Supply From Russia and
Other Foreign Countries.
HEMP and FLAX PREDOMINANT
Considerable Impetus Given TO Hemp
Growing by Introduction Of Ma
chine Methods-WlsconsIn
Leads All Other States.

Fiber crops 10 the United States
show an increase this year, due large
ly to the growing realization Of the
American manufacturers Of the cut
ting off Of supply from Russia and
other foreign countries, and the de-
velopment Of f1ber-growing methods
In this country.
Hemp and fax are the principal
fiber crops in the United States. OF
the former, 14,OOO acres were grown
this year, with an average yield Of
700 pounds Of fiber to the acre, d.
vided about evenly between long fiber
worth on an average Of 20 cents a
pound, and tow, which now averages
10 cents a pound. This would bring
an average value of the crop to $105
per acre, or $1,470,00O.
Flax acreage has increased from
5000 acres In 1919 to 5000 acres In
1920. The yield is estimated at from
300 to 400 pounds Of fiber per acre,
worth 75 cents a pound. The fax
crop Is thus worth about 81 100000.
Impetus TO Hemp.
Hemp growing has received consid-
erable impetus since the United
States Department Of Agriculture un-
dertook the work Of breeding new
strains and ecouraging modern ma.
chine methods Of handling, about ten
years ago. This shows an interest.
ing geographical shift in hemp-grow
ing territory. Kentucky, which for
merly led, now stands lowest among
the recognized hemp-producing states
while the lead has gone to northern
states, Wisconsin supplying about hall
the total acreage. Next come Mime
sofa, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Cal
ifornia.
Kentucky's decline in relative posi-
ton is due largely to the predom
nance Of tobacco as a commercial
crop, and partly to the fact that states
coming newly into the hemp-raisins
industry have Immediately adopted
modern methods for large-scale pro

naturally cling to some extent to the
old hand methods Of their forefathers.
Used for Tying Twine.
The output is largely used for ty-
ing twine, but new market has been
found for a considerable quantity for
mixing with fax in the manufacture
of shoe thread. Formerly 1t was not
thought that any material except fax
could be used In shoe thread, but
since the Russian supply was almost
entirely cut off, manufacturers have
found that they can combine the two
fbers without material deterioration.
Much experimenting has been done
with a view to utilizing the hurds, or
woody center, which make up more
than half Of the hemp stalk. One
Ohio factory used several thousand
tons for paper manufacturing, but this
use will need development in the way
Of shipping facilities and definite mar
ket. At present the hurds are mostly
burned for fuel to operate the driers
and furnish power for the breaking
and scutching machinery.
Flax growing appears to be on the
increase, due to the cutting off Of the
European product. The principal fax
regions are Wisconsin, eastern Michi-
gan, the Willamette valley Of Oregon,
and northern Minnesota.

SCOUTS MAKE RECORD HIKE.

Boy scouts of Seattle, Wash, led by
Scoutmaster Robert J. Drake and
Harold D. Ware, an officer of the Sc
attic council, hiked from Hoods canal
to the ocean in five and one-half days,
establishing a record for the trip.
Over the same trail the time is usually
between two and three weeks, it is
said. Most parties use pack ponies,
but the scouts carried their own sup
plies. The distance covered is ap-
proximately $50 miles.
