Editor Pensacola Journal:
notice through the columns OF your
valued paper that the proposed bonds
for docks and belt lire have again leen
bid az too low a figure 20 be considered
by the city commissioners, and that
new proposals win bo advertised for.
Il seems to me that. in view Of the
fact that low bids have been received
several times from COMPANIES specialize
ing i'm bonds OF this character, that II
Is useless 20 advertise further. ana that
the tiue has arrived when 1t is neces-
sary mat the business men OF Pensacola
get together and market the whole is
sue in the city OF Pensacola.
The r nping Interest OF the city will
suffer a severe hackset unless these
dock are built and as the entire bust
ness interest OF the city is conferred in
the export and import trade, the very
life OF the city as a port is threatened.
because Of a lack Of adequate facilities
10 handle the business offered.
Taking the bank statements. which
show large deposits over and above
loans ana discounts. there is a large
amount OF idle money, more than
enough to build docks twice the size
n those contemplated.
Each OF The banks Of the city ought
TO take large blocks of these bonds, US
the docks mean more business, and
more business means more banking.
Each one of the exporting and i'm
porting firms Of the city should invest
in these bonds. as they will be the ones
most benefited by the building Of the
docks
Each citizen Of Pensacola who has
idle money ana who wants good inter
est for the money invested. ought to
take some OF these bonds in order that
he may protect the property that he
now owns from deprecia ton (Which will
happen il the docks are not builO, and
in order that the prestige of the port
may be maintained,
So il seems 70 me. that it is up to
the citizens Of Pensacola TO subscribe
for the entire issue at par, in order that
the present and future facilities of the
port viii ne such as to recommend them
to prospective shippers who are ever
on the alert 10 find ports where cargoes
can be handled at the least expense and
with the greatest dispatch.
Unless the citizens OF Pensacola wake
up and take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity right now. TO build these docks.
the business of the port will go to those
ports that have, or are building docks
with up-to-date facilities.
Nothing can be accomplished without
concerted effort, and il Is up to the
chamber OF commerce. Rotary club, Ki-
wants club and citizens generally to get
together on this dock proposition. and
with long pun a strong pun and =
pun all together put the dock propo-
sition 'over the top"
Yours for Pensacola.

Due Largety to Cutting (, of Supply From Russia aad
 Other Foreign Countries.
HEMP EMn E!LY ppCnnsaIMITE
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 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 fiber-growing methods in this country.
 Hemp and fax are the principal fiber crops In the United States. Of the former, 14,0O0 acres were grown this year, with an average yield of TOO pounds of fiber to the acre, di- vided about evenly between long fiber worth on an average of 20 cents a pound, and tow, which now averages 1o cents q pound. This would bring an average value of the Crop to S1O5 per acre, or $1.470O00.
 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 76 cents a pound. The flax crop Is thus worth about $1,e00,ooO.
 Impetus to Hemp.
 Hemp growing has received consid- erabie 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 la 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 Aiane- sota, Michigan. Ohio, Indiana and Gal
 Kentucky's decline in relative posi- ton is due largely to the prsdon- finance 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 duction, while growers in a locality that has always produced one crop

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 a new market has been found for a considerable quantity for mixing with flax in the manufacture of shoe thread. Formerly 1t 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 f1bers 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 differs 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.

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

Did you ever stop to consider what band of sheep Is worth as a weed externanat6r ?" asks 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 a team and cultivator or weeder through the season.
 Secondly, there is big difference in cultivating weeds out or moving them and sheeping them off. Culti- vating or moving is an expensive method for which you get nothing but a little added humus to the soil, whereas sheep turn your weeds into marketable products at good prices, to say nothing of added fertilizer ;n the form of sheep manure deposited on the fields.
 'It has been remarked that small band of sheep adds $1,O00 to the av- craze appearance of the ranch in five years time, from the stscdpoint of weedless fields. However, in the long run 1t is more than that. It Is an actual source of steady income"

Seed corn that gave 100 per cent ger imitation but showed infection by harmful organisms was matched against corn that showed no infec- ton in a series of tests carried out by plant specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture In cooperation with the Indiana expert ment station. The dlsease-free seed gave an increased yield of ten to thirty per cent above its competitor. ~..
 Further results of the test seemed to prove that when corn was planted too thickly in hill or drill row 1t was more susceptible to disease than when better space was given 1t. In a sim liar test at Bloomington, Tll., the dfs- eose-free seed gave an increase of 9 per cent over the other corn. which was selected for high gsrmination
