What a neat find! Hemp as a crop was mentioned. I love hemp cereal. They stock it at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
I also read about planting Indian corn. It said to mix 3 bushels of wood ash with 1 bushel of plaster of Paris. Mix together, plant corn, and dropping as much as will lay on a clam shell on top of seed corn. I never heard of using plaster of Paris.
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'
