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--WisconsIn
Leads All Other States.

Fiber crops In the United States
show an increase this year, due large
" to the growing realization of the
American manufacturers of the cut
ting on Of supply from Russia and
other foreign countries, and the de-
veiopment Of fiber-growing methods
in this country.
Hemp and fax are the prlncipa.
nDer crops In the United States. OF
the former, 1900 acres were grown
this year. with an average yield Of
100 pounds of fiber to the acre, d.
vided about evenly between long fiber
worth -on an average of 20 cents
pound, and tow. which now averages
IL cents pound This would bring
an average value Of the crop to sos
per acre, or $1,470,0OO.
Flax acreage has increased from
D,OO0 acres in 1919 to 5000 acres in
1870. The yield is estimated at from
SoO TO 400 pounds of fiber per acre.
worth 20 cents pound The fax
crop Is thus worth about S1,60O,O0O.
Impetus to Hemp.
Hemp growing has received consid-
cradle 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 half
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 FREEDOM
nance of tobacco as a commercial
crop, and partly to the fact that states
coming newly into the hemp-raising
industry have Immediately adopted
modern methods for large-scale pro-
AUCTION, while growers in q locality

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

"Did you ever stop to consider what
q band of sheep is worth as weed
exterminatorY asks q California de-
partment of agriculture expert 'In
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 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
1T has been remarked that a small
band of sheep adds $1,000 to the av-
erage appearance of the ranch in five
years time, from the standpoint of
NEEDLESS fields. However, in the long
run it is more than that. 1t is an
actual source of steady income"

Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at interna.
tionaI Live Stock Show at CHI
cago-carried of Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen.
crosby of the soil and climate Of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, at
many Of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter-
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer viii appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, aud that out of total
of TWENTY-FIVE prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living In
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of a total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only In grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as a first class agri-
cultural country, but she carried off
many prizes for cattle, horses. sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol-
lows:
Cattle. Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also in the College Special class, Can
ada gained first. fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
| Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare, as
we'll as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion. first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
! the aged class.
| In the Belgian class, Canada OBJ
tanned first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
! Sheep. Canada obtained Champion
| ship for block, male and female, in adj
dition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs, in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham.
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
Championship for best single barrow,
as well as over twenty first. second
and third prizes in other classes OF
Yorkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
| it must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance. but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed, and this
in open competition with the world

naturally cling to some extent to the
old hand methods of their forefathers.
Used for Tying Irvine.
The output is largely used for ty-
Ing Irvine, but a new market has been
found for a considerable quantity for
mixing with flax in the manufacture
of shoe thread. Formerly it was not
thought that any material except flax
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
fibers without material deterioration.
Much experimenting has been done
with 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 flax
regions are Wisconsin, eastern Michi-
gan. the Willamette valley of Oregon,
and northern Minnesota.

Perhaps in addition to a holder you
will want a work-box like that shown

The three-pound size of breakfast
food carton is best for the holder. Cut
