Hemp for Victory (full version)

United States Department of Agriculture, 1942

Hemp for Victory is an educational film promoting hemp farming in the United States. This film contains high-quality information about the Cannabis Sativa plant and large-scale hemp production for industrial use. It has the thorough-yet-entertaining feeling of a Mr. Rogers factory-tour video.

The farkinga version of the film is an improvement on previously available editions:

1) the audio and video are synced
2) the complete film is time-compressed into 10 minutes

The original version of Hemp for Victory is in the public domain because it is a production of the US government.

I'm guessing he had to speed up the video to make it fit into 10 minutes. that would explain why the voice is fast.

[farkinga]

Exactly. The previous version had to be 2 parts: one 10 minutes and one 3 minutes. Since I made it fit into a single, 10-minute video, it is now easier to share the link.

Unfortunately, the talking is fast, but I did adjust the audio frequency so that the voice range would sound normal, instead of the narrator having a helium/chipmunk voice.

Ummmm......i think someone fell from the rigging of the ship @ 09:33.....

@vegas4141 totally - I love how they managed to include naval battle scenes in a DOA film.

Hemp rope is extremely durable. Manila hemp may be more so, but it is nowhere

near as viable or versatile a product. You can grow thousands of times the amount of cannibis hemp fiber than abacá tree fiber in a single year (growing season). Moreover, cannibis has many other uses which the abacá tree does not. It has been called the world's most useful plant.

You're spending too much time on Wikipedia; and if so then get your fact's straight.

"in the olden days hemp use to be broken by hand" That made me smirk..

@omega4chimp technically yes, but the kind you smoke are only the female plants.. for industrial production into clothing you can also use the non THC potent male plants.

Also THC comes only in the right conditions such as heat, growing it in cold climates still produces a fine strong plant with plenty of fibers for industrial use, but no 'buds' or 'flowers' for the purpose of getting 'high'.

The wildest part about this is the government denied they ever made this video until someone proved them wrong :D
