THE HEMP INDUSTRY.
In the course of his annual report, the Minister of Agriculture (the Hon. O. J. Hawken) states hat the hemp industry may be described as being in a fairly healthy condition generally, although some shrinkage in the year’s output occurred, due to heavy floods in certain of the milling areas last spring. The grading statistics show an appreciable improvment in quality compared with the figures for 1925-26. Considerable development took place during the year in regard to the growing of phormium as a regular cultivated crop, several new companies having been formed for that purpose. There can be no doubt that the potentialities are very great -—given, of course, proper conditions of land, situation, and management —and every wish for success must be accorded to all such sound enterprises.
