. to hang the axis and Floyd G. Clay,| #

* federal hemp administrator, is worried over the prospects of supplying it. ee The serioulture department, fore: seeing a shortage of fibers months ago, has worked out a program for the production of 240,000,000 pounds of hemp in 1943—enough to overcome the deficiency in.other materials caused by the loss of imports rom the Near East. , But a hitch has developed because of Mr, Clay's inability thus far to ‘persuade the war production board to grant priorities for harvesting ‘machinery and’ processing plants.

Hemp Production Cut

Unless WPB acts: promptly, he says, the program will be jeopar“dized and the country may face a Tepetition of the rubber dilemma.

« When imports of hard fibers from the Philippines and the Netherlands: East Indies were cut off, the agriculture’ department bought: up all available hemp seed in the country —some 3000 bushels—and . distributed it among 8074 farmers in Kentucky, once the leading producer of the plant. Since hemp production had fallen to less than 10 per cent of its onetime peak, this year's operation was designed to produce a seed crop from ‘which 350,000 acres could be s/planted next year in Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. The Kentucky seed plantings this year cover 36,000 ; #cres. Need Processing Plants # . Agriculture officials said they had . ‘been assured of the necessary acreage. However, the program calls for the erection of 80 processing . plants costing about Fab bap gee. The Defense Plant, Corp., .subsidiary of «+ ‘the Reconstruction Finance Corp., has agreed to finance the plants but Mr. ‘Clay ‘has been unable: to get WPB to move. Because hard fibers such a abaca, , sisal and hennequen have been ¢ largely substituted for native-grown hemp, production has declined in . recent years and the number of . ‘processing plants has dwindled to -five—~four of these are in Wiscon- . 8in and one in Kentucky. "Large quantities of tough fibers are now needed for marine lines— lanyards, manropes, sounding equipment, signal halyards and torpedo “dines, The army, war industry plants . And farms also have large require ments. In large sizes, hemp rope : can be used as a substitute for steel
