Hemp is Seeded, 1943

Hemp is Seeded

“Stover Dameron and B. L. Stover, north of Towanda, finished seeding their new war crop, hemp, this week. A good share of the 4,000 acres contracted in the Lexington District has been seeded. An ideal seedbed was produced in this field by disking soybean stubble three times. About half the hemp crop was seeded in the Lexington district before the rain Thursday night.” Bloomington, Illinois Pantagraph newspaper photograph, April 1943
