Sower of the Hemp, 1900

“…before the red of apple buds become a sign in the low orchards, or the high song of the thrush is pouring forth far away at wet pale-green sunsets, the sower, the earliest sower of the hemp, goes forth into the fields.”

James Allen, 1900 -from The Reign of Law: A Tale of the Kentucky Hemp Fields
