The environmentally sustainable alternative, part one, hemp history 101. Long ago, when these ancient Christian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and coarse cloth in China and elsewhere in the east. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hemp and rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the Hangman, hemp was indispensable. The Kanastoga wagons and Ferris Cuners of Pioneer Days were covered with hemp and canvas. Indeed, the very word canvass comes from the Arabic word for hemp. In 1813, the American Silk Cotripp, across the Lake Ontario to steal a lot of help. First, they captured all for youropter royal ship burned down, then they went to harbor front to see what could be found. They filled 14 ships with hemp sails and hemp rope, burning all the rest before they torched the town down. The Brits got so mad, sea and parliament to burn and rivet a cry and burn the white house down. And the old days breaking was done by hand, one of the hardest jobs known to man. Now, the power breaker makes quick work of it. The hemp industry can now recover 95% of the fibers, rather than the 25-50% as before. In 1935, Henry Ford's desired to unite industry and agriculture would lead to the formation of the farm-commerged council. The Commergic model would use the country's farmers to supply the industrial needs of the 20th century. The expanded markets would bolster the dismal state of affairs on American farms and ease the emerging problems of petrochemical pollution. Ford and the council would find support in the like-minded genius of Thomas Edison and plant geneticists George Washington Carver and Luther Burbank. In 1938, advances in hemp decordication equipment prompted popular mechanics magazine to call hemp the billion dollar crop with 25,000 uses. The development sprouted a new kind of hemp industry in Minnesota, one poise to exploit the cellulose rich herds for use in the plastics industry. In 1916, the Department of Agriculture published bulletin 404, written by Lister Dooye and plant and paper chemist Jason Merrill, printed on hemp paper, the bulletin warned that forests cannot withstand the demands and praise the paper potential of hemp. Henry Ford had a vision of growing automobile from the soil. At the company's River Rouge plant, researchers used annual crops to develop biodegradable car parts at a 1941 unveiled a car whose plastic body was made entirely from hemp, wheat straw and cysal. The bioplastic withstood blows ten times as great as steel without deadting and it's reduced weight promised better fuel efficiency. 1937 was my first summer to spend with my grandfather and at that time they grew hemp to make rope and him and the next farmer had a machine and you made your threads. After you had it on the spools and you would go and make rope. But then in the latter years of the depression they banned it. It was banned by the government of North America. It came just when the depression was right at its worst about 19 in this area, about 1937. The law was passed that it was illegal to have hemp seed. Was illegal to have it and was illegal to grow it. It was absolutely illegal to have hemp seed in your possession. It was stopped being used by McKenzie King. And I would listen to the old timers, my uncle Bill and my grandpa and Fred Wagner and those people talking. Like they really felt that they had been hardly the hard done by. In 1942 in a full reversal the U.S. Department of Agriculture presented the movie hemp for victory encouraging farmers to grow hemp. The hemp industry was in decline when the United States entered World War II. With a nation supply of menila hemp and jute curtailed by the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the government turned to the farmers for help. The war hemp industries built 42 mills throughout the Midwest. Hemp production rose dramatically as the nation's farmers produced £16 million of fiber for the country supply of courtage. But then they banned it. It was banned by the government of North America. In the winning years of the 20th century, the earth's most useful crop reemerged on farms the world over. For more than half a century, hemp was a crop and exile. To bring into the world 200 million new people a year that equal to the population in the United States, and to not want to bring in a source of shelter and clothing and food is virtually a result. The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future. Many years ago hemp was grown everywhere and we don't know why.
