The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Reduction in Hemp Plants Ordered; We've Got Too Much Hemp
From the January 16, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Hemp processing plants at Shabbona and Kirkland, as well as the plant at Polo and two in Wisconsin, will remain the five operating establishments in the government's elaborate hemp program, following the drastic order of curtailment.
"The five remaining plants will be the only operating units of a 28-plant program in the middle west that was sponsored by the government through the Commercial Credit Corporation, to meet the shortage of hemp fiber as the Japs seized South Pacific areas."
