WILD HEMP TO BE CULTIVATED NEW HAZLETON. B. C , Dec. 4. I Wild hemp has possibilities for the manufacture of binder twine and its cultivation may become a part of Canada's Can-ada's post-war Industrial program. The Indians of the coast and interior of central British Columbia have long been famous as carvers, weavers and boat-builders, but it was only recently that attention was nttracted to the fine rope which they make from wild I hemp. At Awillgate in the Bulkley valley near New Hazleton on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, there is a village of Indians who display remarkable skill in making rope from tho abundant wild hemp which covers the surrounding country. They have been making this rope for centuries by a method of their own and it is so strong that they use it for towing their heavily laden canoes up the currents of swift rivers. This is convincing proof of its stoutness. They also make twine and thread from the hemp but not in such quantities as in the days before they were able to purchase these articles cheaply from traders. The wild hemp closely resembles the common fire weed of the United States.
