Percy Haughtcn Wants To
Change Fotball Rules

Boston, Nov. "a sugge, ti"n
for curbing the forward pass, to
prevent development of present
day football into a game mere
nearly resembling basketball has
been advanced by Percy Haugh-
ton, founder of Harvard's gridircn
coaching system.
Instead of having an incon,-
pleted forward pass revert to the
team which started the play,
make a forward passed blocked
the throwers' line of scrimmage
subject to recovery by opponents
under the same conditions as a
blocked kick, is Haughton's idea
At present a pass which has been
batted down, but not caught by
an opponent, merely costs the
throwing team a down.

KENTUCKY LOSES LEAD
AS HEMP PRODUCER

Kentucky until recent years the
leading state in the production OF
hemp, now stands lowest among
the recognized hemp growing
states, the Department of Agri-
culture announced today. The
Northern states now are leading
in hemp production, Wisconsin
supplying about half of the pres
ent total acreage. Next comes
Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Indi-
ana and California.
Kentucky's decline is attributed
by agricultural experts to the pre-
dominance of tobacco as COM
mercial crop, and also to the fact
that states comi1g newly in the
hemp raising industry have adopt
ed modern methods for large scale
production.
Hemp and flax are the principal
fibre crops of the United States.
Of the former, $4,000 acres were
grown this year, with an average
yield of 700 pounds to the acre,
divided about evenly between
long fibre worth an average of 20
cents a pound, and tow, which
now which now averages 10 cents
a bound This would bring an
average value of the crop to $105
an acre, total value of 81, 100000.
Flax acreage has increased
from 5000 acres in 1919 to 5000
acres in 1920. The yield is es-
timated at from 800 to 400 pounds
per acre, worth IS cents a pound.
The total value of the flax crop is
about ST., 100000.
Much experimenting has been
done with a view of utilizing
hurds, or the woody center, which
makes up half of the hemp stalk.
One Ohio firm used several thous-
and tons for paper manufacture,
but this use will need develop
ment in the way of shipping facil-
tiles and definite market, the de-
partment says.
