Prof. John R. Humphrey of the Kentucky Experiment Station says high water in the Kentucky river has wiped out about half the hemp seed crop in the Seahussy river valley, creating a severe shortage for next year. He notes conservation steps have secured enough seed and expects increased acreage and a revival, aided by a major hemp-breaking mill considering Lexington with a 5,000 acre guaranty.
