There are all sorts of scenery accessories you can purchase from online model train stores, but many things can be made from everyday items around the home. You do not always need to spend money when there are things around you for free.

Twigs from your back yard are a good example. They can be used for making small trees and shrubs, or be cut to resemble logs. There is no need to paint them, because they are already the right color. Small wooden meat skewers (from the supermarket) can also be used to make logs and they are very inexpensive to buy.

The same goes for adding grass to your layout. You can purchase some very good products such as “Static Grass Flock” to provide ground cover, or you can make your own. Some model railroaders use a mix of ready-to-use grasses from the hobby store, and combine this, with there own home made grass recipe.

Gather some fresh mulberry leaves and dry them in a microwave oven. After they are dried out, drop them in a kitchen blender and you have instant ground cover. The best thing is; it costs you virtually nothing to make. Store it in a plastic bag for when you need it.

The only disadvantage with making your own ground cover is you will not necessarily know how long it will last when compared to the bought stuff. Many of the ground cover products from a hobby store will have been treated to help them maintain their color and withstand temperature and humidity variances over time. Some of them are non-flammable and nontoxic, so you need to decide what is important to you.

A lot of model railroaders use dried kitchen herbs for leaves and ground cover. They mix different herbs (eg. thyme, oregano and parsley) for different effects. When doing this it is best to lay some newspaper underneath, as it can be a messy process. That way you can catch and reuse any herbs that do not stick the first time.

Sea Foam (also called “Forest in a Box”) is a popular material for making small inexpensive trees. You can bend it to look like trees and then spray on some adhesive and sieve on some flock. It is usually best to mix a few little pieces together rather than use just one piece for an entire tree.

Fine brass wire can be used to strengthen the trunks and branches. Torn up pieces of masking tape can be wound around the tree trunk to add some width. This can then be sealed with a mixture of wall filler and PVA white glue.

You can even add sprinklings of kitchen herbs as mentioned earlier. You can then spray the trees all over with matt varnish, or spray them (upside down) with a mix of white glue and water. You then leave them to dry overnight.

Lichen is also ideal for making shrubs and trees. It is very versatile and looks good as mass foliage and undergrowth on a train layout. It is also inexpensive and easy to work with. You can purchase it in a range of colors that can be used separately or mixed together.

So, there are many, many ways to make ground cover and trees for your model railroad layout. It is a lot of fun and you might want to try some different options to see what works best for you. The point I am really making here; is that things on your train layout do not always need to be expensive. You just need to be a little creative in your approach. Have fun!

Model Trains Hobby

The model trains hobby is one of the most fascinating pastimes one can undertake and its appeal spans across all ages, young and old alike.

The model trains hobby can involve incredible design and creativity and is not just a matter of buying some trains. The layouts and accessories such as buildings, bridges, landscapes and the various locomotives themselves formulate the entire picture and can require as much time as you wish to take to complete your goal. You could just keeping adding or changing pieces until the day you die. This is not like a jigsaw puzzle that ends once the last piece is placed.

The model trains hobby can continue indefinitely and is something that you can play with and enjoy.

The entire process can certainly be difficult. However, it should, first and foremost, be enjoyable. Once you are having fun, the creative juices begin to flow and, before you know it, you will be building large scenes and elaborate layouts.

Plan, plan, plan … and plan again.

You have two primary things to consider: space and the layout of the track to put in it.

When considering space, you will need to see what amount you can give to the layout in addition for the extra room you will require to move around the scene, and sometimes also on the scene. Once this is defined, you can then plan your distribution of tracks.

Your option are to build your own, for the more advanced railroaders, or begin with one that has already been created and adapted. Many choose this route due to the vast amount of designs available and the ease of having this part already complete.

In today’s highly technological world, software has now been made available for those who wish to create their own designs.

Consider the options

Decide what level of detail you wish to have or can afford. This can be the fun part. Now, one can begin to formulate the landscape by choosing and placing various buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc.

Do not forget: Have Fun!

In the end, it is important for an amateur model railroader to stop worrying about complexity and just have fun throughout the process.

Each phase of the project will allow your imagination run wild and, hopefully, you will see many possibilities. There is always some kind of layout and design of landscape that fits your style. Do not rush; just let it flow and the model trains hobby can be very rewarding.

Tunnels and a bridge will add interest to a model train layout. You will need a rail station too. Put operating signals at crossings. Use either a set of crossing flashers or a flasher and drop-arm combo. Kids (and adults too) are mesmerized by these ‘lights and action’ items.

Other ideas like a working grain elevator, water tower, coal loaders, or a control towers help complete a scene. Be creative, but specific, when making scenery for your model railroad layout.

Make sure any vehicles and rail crossings are from the right era. One idea is black washing the grilles and hubcaps to add depth and realism to the scene. Using a small brush you can also paint taillights, parking lights and door handles if needed. Then consider taking the cars apart and install drivers and passengers. Nothing looks more unreal on a layout than vehicles seemingly driven by invisible ghosts!

You can purchase miniature figures in male, female and child variations all molded in ‘flesh’ color. The arms must be attached by gluing. Then the figures can be painted. Sometimes, the figures will not fit between the steering wheel and the seat. It sounds a bit cruel but you simply cut the legs off with pliers and they fit just fine. Use flat (rather than glossy) model paint to make painted clothing and hair look real.

When buying adhesives for joining scenery, there are several choices in hardware stores and hobby shops. They are not all suitable for the same job.

When building scenery try using an acrylic matte medium or white glue as both of these modeling adhesives are water soluble. However, a contact-cement may be more suitable in some applications.

If you are going to use white glue, you may want to dilute it with water using 2 parts glue to 1 part water, or a 1 to 1 ratio, depending on its application. Try adding a few drops of liquid dish-washing detergent as this will help break up the surface tension of the water. Another thought is to add a small dab of latex paint to tint the glue and help hide any bare spots.

Always keep scenery, buildings, people and structures to the right scale relative to the trains.

Model railroading is not a fad that you will grow out of in a few weeks. It will become a lifetime passion. Most model railroaders spend decades perfecting and expanding their train layout. So, you are not competing in a race to get your layout finished. It is better to take your time and do things well. Break your project down into small tasks and do each one carefully and thoroughly. You will experience fewer operational problems and avoid the frustration of when things fail to work properly.

Start by researching the section of full-size railroad that you will be modeling. Document it physically and operationally, and then scale it down to fit in a reasonable layout space.

The options are endless, but you will need to take the available space you have into consideration.

There is no point in trying to replicate hundreds of miles of mainline track if you only have limited space available. Your available space may also dictate, to some extent, which scale you decide to model.

Click here for lots of clever model train layout ideas

Popular themes to consider include: an engine terminal, shunting yards, a horseshoe curve, town scene, industrial theme, or even an important railroading location from history. Researching your ideas before you get started can be a lot of fun and help you avoid making unwanted mistakes.

Careful planning may lead to better or even best results. Constructing a layout for a model railroad may be tough. You have to be considerate on the space and style of the layout you want it to appear. As advised, doing some research could help to gather important inputs to make your model train layout more appealing.

A model railroad layout needs to look good at a first glance, but it also needs to stand up to close inspection and scrutiny. The point is; spectators will get up close to your model train layout and they will start to spot the small details the longer they stay. Adding detail to your model railroad layout can be the difference between an average layout and an impressive layout. Take your time and do things well.

Real railroads (prototype) run from one destination to another rather than go around in a circle. In reality, real railroads usually have hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of track to work with. Even in a scaled down form, most model railroads lack the space to fully replicate this, so a degree of adaptation and compromise is usually required.

Full size trains often run for long stretches over monotonous landscape, which if reconstructed on a model layout, would be rather boring. To give you an example, the Ghan Train in Australia, runs 1,880 miles across mostly barren desert. Imagine replicating that on a scaled down model railroad – it would probably stretch from one end of town to the other!

The main line begins at one point, and travels to another point, and stops, hence the term – a point to point railroad.

Although a point-to-point layout is necessary on real railroads, the format is not generally practical for the average home (or club) model train layout. Replicating the scale mileage of a true point-to-point railroad does not generally work that well.

To make things a little more practical (and interesting), prototype railroads have branch lines, sidings and other subsidiary systems. Adding these to a model layout can be a good idea.

Before departure, the trains are turned around at terminals using yards, loops, wyes, and turntables. A single or double-track main line usually stretches from point to point.

When planning your point-to-point layout, you might want to include switches and yards at one end of the layout, and a turnaround at the other.

Click here for lots of clever model train layout ideas

Most small layouts would not have enough space for two terminals, so use an “out-and-home” track configuration. An out-and-home layout accommodates only one terminal and is like a point-to-point layout double backing. The train journey would start at the terminal and it would pass through various landscapes, possibly a small town, and eventually arrive back at the same terminal.

Some might say it is cheating, but unless you have unlimited space (and money) for your layout, a little compromise is usually required.

Constructing an out-and-home layout usually enables a little more mileage between terminals. The train will still arrive back at the terminal in a reasonably short space of time.

You could add more realism and interest by combining an out-and-home, and point-to-point, format with continuous pikes. You would need a fair amount of space though.

Many model railroaders prefer a continuous layout because it allows for varied train movements which make operation more interesting.

Whatever track plan you decide, the important thing is to have fun.

Hello, my name is Mark…

The model train hobby is what I consider to be one of the best hobbies in the world. On this page, I’ll give you some of my background and recommend some fantastic model train resources that will teach you the best way to become involved in trains O scale as well as HO, N, and G scale modeling that covers detailed information for a complete beginner as well as for very advanced levels.

I was first exposed to this amazing hobby when I was just 7 years of age. I was in awe of my uncle’s O scale model train set and still remember fondly the days when he would be building scenes and displays and operating the trains while letting me watch and assist.

Ever since that time, I had wanted to build my own, slowly but surely, as finances would allow and birthdays would come. New tracks, locomotives, passenger carriages, scene and display kits and anything else I could get my hands on. To this day, I prefer the O scale train sets due to their larger size, various scales, large amount of accessories and very detailed design. I remember spending so much time in several hobby shops admiring the large range of different accessories and desiring to add certain items to my display.

Now, as an adult, I enjoy it even more and do not believe this is something you grow out of. What is unique about model train collecting is that is can be a hobby for life, enjoyed simultaneously by different generations! It is so enjoyable to be creative and and to develop more intimate knowledge of geography from making landscapes. Taking various ideas and morphing them into life like miniatures makes me feel like I am going back in time and entering another world.

There is no doubt, due to the complexity of this hobby, that model train collecting can certainly come with its frustrations. There are SO many various books and manuals, few of which have everything you need. Most just seem to focus on a specific area.

The major issue with model train collecting

With all the latest advancements in model train collecting, it is very easy to make some expensive mistakes.

For this reason, I decided to review the model train “how to” books on the market…

For the most part, they were just adequate. Beginners, or advanced railroaders, would have to buy many books/manuals just to get 80% of the information they needed. This was the case until I found 2 downloadable ebooks – Model Trains for Beginners and Model Train Help.

These two books have become my only source of information!

Further, since they are ebooks, the authors update them often and will give you the updates free of charge. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve got on my shelf with very outdated information… a problem easily solved with these ebooks.

Both the authors also offer a 60 day money back guarantee… so if the ebook doesn’t suit your needs you can request a full refund…

Here’s an Overview of Both…

N Scale – Trains are built to a ratio of 1:160. A 75-foot locomotive is approximately 5 ½ inches long. The rails of the track are spaced 9 mm apart.

The “gauge” is the separation of the rails.  Scale 1 / 87, 30 inch cars will run on N scale 1 / 160 track. O scale 30-inch cars run on HO track to standard gauge.

If you take a chance, by far the most likely scale / gauge that you will take is standard HO. Most hobby shops can tell you in an instant what you have. To measure the wheels to tell the width of the appropriate track would measure just outside the flanges of wheels. It is the internal dimension of the horizontal plane of the wheel where it sits on the rail.

The N-scale trains are an ideal choice for apartments or anyone with limited space. N-scale trains are easy to store when not in use and are ruggedly built for trouble-free operation. The small size is fine for teenagers and adults; younger children will need an adult to help to set up or take down a set.

When shopping for train sets for children that are components necessary that you should consider. The following tips will help to solve the model could be better.

First, it is important to take into account the age of the recipient. Your selections on the measurement, the inputs used to manufacture the game and how it operates, will be based primarily around this factor. It is also going to help determine if you want to buy the mannequin as a starter package, or be likely to buy once was.

Consider the nice amount can be derived the set after you select a produce essentially assume the best fun.

Consider additional options, reminiscent of the bridges that the train can pass below and again, a passing car, visitors to the site constraints, and a station.

Final resolution even be influenced by cost. Costs vary based on many of these factors, so think of the amount to spend. Decide if it will take a set of investments that can build up Over the years, or if you just want to have a cheap toy that can keep a beat if the child does much the same.

The Best Hobby Choice Is Toy Model Trains!

If you’ve decided that you’d like to become a hobbyist, but haven’t quite made up your mind about what type of hobby you’d like to commit to, I’d like to provide you with a little information that will greatly aid you in that choice!

The first issue that I’d like to address is about the confusion that exists about toy model trains. The immediate thing that comes to mind when most people think about model trains links directly to their childhood memories of Christmas, and those wonderful train sets that their parents had set up under their Christmas tree. For more people than you can imagine, this memory has served as the catalyst for becoming involved in this amazing hobby.

Unfortunately, many others draw a direct line to the inexpensive toys that are typically sold in retail stores for children, and through this thinking automatically rule out model railroading as a hobby. Sadly enough, this group of people are setting themselves up to miss out on enjoying one of the most pleasing and rewarding hobbies that anyone could choose to be a part of.

In selecting toy model trains as a hobby you’ll discover early on that this isn’t a hobby for anyone who is easily bored. There are so many different elements to learn about, and to do, that this endeavor will keep you busy for years to come. More importantly, this is a hobby that will allow you to involve not only your family members, but friends as well.

If you’re someone who has a creative side, then toy model trains is an excellent choice because it will allow you to demonstrate this part of your personality through the creation of scenery for your layout. As an added bonus, for those of you who enjoy being creative, weathering your railcars and other components of your scenery is one more way to demonstrate your artistic side.

If your someone who enjoys technical challenges you’ll be more than satisfied by all of the electrical work that has to be performed to have a successfully running train layout. To further stimulate the analytical and creative side of your brain, diagramming and designing your track layout is just one more part of model railroading that you’ll happily discover!

Last but certainly not least, and if that isn’t enough, no train layout is complete without a selection of scale model trains to bring it to life. You’ll spend countless numbers of hours choosing among the various scale types to add to, or complete your toy model train layout.

O Scale Train Sets

O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used when describing a toy train and a common size for many model railroading enthusiasts, along with the HO Scale. Originally introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900, by the 1930s . O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the US and remained so until the early 1960s. In Europe, its popularity declined before World War 2 due to the introduction of smaller scales.

The Märklin specifications called for 1:43.5 scale. However, many designs were 1:48 scale or 1:64 scale.

Model trains come in various sizes, each of which is used for different purposes. As there are many options from which to choose, finding the one that suits you best should not be an issue.

Scale is the size of a model train.

N is the smallest among the most popular scales with a ratio of 1:160. This means that the N scale model railway is one hundred sixty times smaller than train real life. The most popular HO scale is almost twice the size of the scale N. HO scale is the ratio 1:87. N scale is for collectors of miniatures. N model trains may take less space, but the level of detail in them, according to the manufacturer remains high. One advantage with the N scale trains is that there are many accessories available which increases your chance to be creative with your layouts and overall design making it possible to create a really beautiful landscape.

The more popular scales are the O and HO scales which have been around for over a century. The N scales do not have the same longevity as they were created in the 60′s. The letter N stands for nine mm – in reference to the size of the meter.

For example, the cost of a model locomotive with a decoder (Digital command Control) can be in the hundreds of dollars! Add that to the added cost of accessories such as rolling stocks, model train tracks, scenery, buildings, lighting, power packs and more. However, getting involved can be much easier than one would think with the proper guidance.

Thus, in order to avoid all the common mistakes made by new railroaders and potentially wasting a great deal of time and expense, I highly recommend “Model Trains Secrets Exposed: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners” by Gerald Delaney an absolute must for anyone considering this hobby.

You will learn the following:

Currently, electric train ho scales are the most popular of all the railroad scales in both the USA and Europe. When interest in model train collecting started diminishing around the 1950′s,  hobbyists began to demand more realism in their pastime, hence the beginning of the scale popularity. With electric train ho scale trains, model train hobbyists are able to fit in more details into a comparable area than that of the O scale. The resulting displays possess a great deal more realism than that of many other scales.

As a result of the great popularity of electric train ho scales, locomotives and many accessories such as scenery, cars, carriages, and buildings are readily available and can be located through a large number of manufacturers.

Electric train ho scales are generally available in three options:

1) Ready-to-Run – Options that are completely ready for use right out of the box.

2) Shake the Box – Kits that are easy to assemble. For example, a freight car might include a one-piece body, a chassis, trucks, couplers, and a counterweight, while a structure kit might include walls, windows, doors, and glazing.

3) Craftsman Kits – Kits that require a much higher level of skill to assemble and can include several hundreds of parts and accessories.

Electric train ho scales are the most popular scale for many reasons. First, as previously mentioned, it is large enough for a great amount of detail, much more so than the  smaller scales but, large enough to be handled by children. They are usually less expensive than all the other scales and allow elaborate track displays in a smaller space. Thus, essentially, the electric train ho scale sets provide the perfect balance between the detail of the larger G, O and S scale sets and the lower space required for the smaller N and Z scales.

Planning To Install A 150 Fish Gallon Tank- Here Is A Bit Of Advice

If you have decided that you want to turn your small hobby into an aquarium world then building a 150 gallon fish tank is a great idea. You must first think about it carefully before undertaking a project of this size as this is perhaps one of the largest tanks that you can feasibly put in your home, and installing a 150 fish gallon tank in your house takes a lot of planning and a lot of patience.

What Species Of Fish Will Be Living In A Tank Of This Size?

You must consider that once you have your 150 fish gallon tank in your home, what type of animal life do you want swimming around in there. Do you want a saltwater reef or some freshwater fish greeting you during the day? Another possibility is having both land and water represented in the large tank, giving the illusion of the beach or a lakefront property. If you decide to have a saltwater environment for your 150 fish gallon tank, there are a few species that make wonderful additions and are easy to look after.

The following species are just a few that would make a lovely addition to any 150 fish gallon tank.

• The Purple Tang : known scientifically as Zebrasoma xanthurus
• Yellow Stripe Maroon Clownfish
• Sea Anemone: Entacmaea quadricolor

These fish would look wonderful in any 150 fish gallon tank. The Purple Tang is very bold and as it is a herbivore it is well equipped to handle just about any plant matter that the reef could throw at it. This fish thrives in tanks of 100 gallons or more, so it should feel right at home in your 150 fish gallon tank. Make sure though that all your fish ‘get on’ with the others, please watch putting it in the tank with other tangs – be they yellow, red, or purple – as these little guys can get quite territorial at times.

The stunning Clownfish has yellow stripes on its forehead, middle section and tail. They are very easy to take care of and would look and feel right at home in your 150 fish gallon tank.

If you decide to have a saltwater 150 fish gallon tank then the sea anemone gets on really well with the clownfish and would survive quite easily in an aquarium of this size. For further advice it is always best to visit a specialist pet store.

Know Concrete Beam Design and Working AutoCAD Drawings

A commercial bridge contains three main structural members – Substructure (foundation), Superstructure and Deck. The foundation is used to transmit the full weight of the bridge to the earth. It is made up of two components – abutments and columns. An abutment is the link between the end of the bridge and the ground offering support to the end segments of the bridge. The superstructure is the horizontal platform that extends over the distance between columns. The deck of the bridge is the traffic-carrying exterior plane added to the superstructure.

The bridge design involves number of factors, including the live/dead loads, wind patterns, local geography, water streams, soil conditions, seismic potential, estimated traffic and cost constraints.

The basic type of bridge is the beam or girder bridge having concrete beam as its main component. The design of pre-stressed concrete beams is perhaps one of the most complex jobs for the structural engineer. With most materials, the designer has to select the shape of the cross section and web & flange thicknesses. In pre-stressed concrete, there are many variables. Not only the shape is variable, but the position and quantity of the pre-stress can be changed to suit the specific application.

The structural engineer firm needs to prepare and submit various construction drawings to local authorities and Engineer of Records (EOR) for approval. AutoCAD drawings related to concrete beam design contain beam reinforcement details, design notes, precast slab reinforcements details, bridge cross section, pier pile cap details, abutment pile reinforcement details and various detail drawings for the concrete bridge.

Remember, to ensure effective bridge beam design and its successful implementation you should hire a professional design team to deliver drawings as per your specifications & standards. You can also think over outsourcing concrete beam design related needs to developing countries like India for better utilization of your resources & get significant cost advantages!

Where Is Baltimore

Baltimore is the largest city in the state of Maryland, and the sixth-largest in the United States, with nearly a million people living there. It is situated at the mouth of the Patapsco River, near where the river flows into Chesapeake Bay. The harbor of Baltimore is one of the busiest and most important in the United States. Ships from all over the world bring cargoes to Baltimore, and carry goods away from it. Baltimore is also a great railroad center. Almost every kind of manufacturing is done in Baltimore, including shipbuilding, food processing, oyster packing, copper refining, and airplane manufactur ing. The people make many other products. The largest spice factory in the world is in Baltimore.

The city is also famous for its many universities and its medical school. One of the first things you would notice if you visited Baltimore are the rows and rows of houses that look exactly alike. The houses are of red brick and each has a tiny white stoop, or set of steps, in front of it. You can also see Druid Hill Park, one of the finest parks in the United States, and the Washington Monument, 164 feet high, which was built in honor of George Washington. The city has so many monuments that it has been called “the Monumental City.”

Baltimore was settled more than two hundred years ago, and many important events have taken place there. In the War of 1812, Baltimore was bravely defended against a British attack. During the bombardment of Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, Francis Scott Key wrote the words of The Star Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States. The first railroad in the United States, the Baltimore & Ohio, was started in the city. The “Baltimore Clipper,” a famous type of sailing vessel used more than a hundred years ago, was built in the Baltimore shipyards. The first electric telegraph line was built from Baltimore to Washington.

Features And Types Of Liquid Storage Tanks

A floating roof is required in some storage tanks in addition of the fixed roof and structure. This floating roof rises and falls with the liquid level inside the tank and are considered a safety requirement as well as a pollution controlling step for many industries including petroleum refining.

There are two categories of roof tanks, fixed roof tanks and floating roof tanks. Let’s discuss both of them in brief:

Fixed roof tanks are meant for liquids with very high flash points like fuel oil, water, bitumen etc. These tanks are similar to dome roofs, cone roofs and umbrella roofs tanks. These are insulated to prevent the blockage of certain materials, wherein the heat is provided by steam coils within the tanks.

Floating roof tanks are broadly divided into external floating roof tanks also known as floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks. These tanks are nothing but cone roof tanks with a floating roof inside which travels up and down along with the liquid level and they are used for liquids with low flash-points

Other Types of tank

Milk tank or Bulk tank: These storage tanks are used for cooling and holding milk at a cold temperature until it can be picked up by a milk hauler. Usually made of stainless steel, these tanks are considered as one of the important milk farm equipments.

Mobile storage tanks- These tanks are not similar to storage tanks, however they share many of the same features of storage tanks. A number of such tanks include LNG carriers; railroad tank cars; and the road and highway traveling tankers and ocean-going oil tankers. Holding tanks can also be considered as mobile storage tanks. These tanks are used to store waste on RVs and boats.

Greenplant Stainless is the UK’s largest supplier that supplies new and second-hand mixing vessels, stainless steel vessels, stainless steel storage tanks, liquid storage tanks, stainless steel storage tank reactors, mixers, pumps etc. to all the industries.

The Marijuana Trick

Doug Yurchey – 2005

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the reproach of the heathen anymore. – Ezekiel 34:29 – Geneva Study Bible (A. D. 1599)

Exactly where did the word “marijuana” come from?  In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant… as you will read.  The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopaedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:

* All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.

* It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; L.A. Times, Aug. 12, 1981.

* REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.

* George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.

* Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow’s export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.

* For thousands of years, 90% of all ships’ sails and rope were made from hemp. The word ‘canvas’ is Dutch for hemp; Webster’s New World Dictionary.

* 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.

* The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross’s flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.

* The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.

* Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.

* Rembrandts, Gainsborough’s, Van Gogh’s as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.

* In A. D. 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture

* Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.

* Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, ‘grown from the soil,’ had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.

* Hemp called ‘Billion Dollar Crop.’ It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.

* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled ‘The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.’ It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture’s 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing ‘patriotic American farmers’ to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:

‘…(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable…

…Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese…American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries…

…the Navy’s rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!’

Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 U.S.D.A. film ‘Hemp for Victory’ did not exist.

Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The U.S.D.A. Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp as wood with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution.

From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:
‘It has a short growing season…It can be grown in any state…The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year’s crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.

…hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.’

In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.

William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst’s grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal.  Dupont’s Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont’s business.

THE TRICKS

Andrew Mellon became Hoover’s Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont’s primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons.  Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises.  For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go.  These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: ‘marihuana’ and pushed it into the consciousness of America.

MEDIA MANIPULATION

A media blitz of “yellow journalism” raged in the late 1920s and 1930s.  Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines.  Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like ‘Reefer Madness’ (1936), ‘Marihuana: Assassin of Youth’ (1935) and ‘Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed’ (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

Examine the following quotes from ‘The Burning Question’ aka REEFER MADNESS:
*a violent narcotic.
*acts of shocking violence.
*incurable insanity.
*soul-destroying effects.
*under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an axe.
*more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!

Reefer Madness did not end with the usual ‘the end.’ The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.

In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.

On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.

Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was/is hemp.

Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst’s front pages was in fact passive hemp.  The AMA understood hemp to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.

In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.

Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known.  Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.

Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet’s energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.

THE WONDER PLANT

Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.

ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL.  Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural.

MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported hemp cures. ‘Medical Marijuana’ is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Hemp is only healthy for the human body.

WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming hemp seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.

CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from hemp, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?

The world is crazy…but that does not mean you have to join the insanity.  Get together.  Spread the news.  Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word “marijuana”.  Realize the history that created it.  Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word.  Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit.  Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!

The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: ‘It’s more dangerous than we thought.’ Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.

The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-hemp commercials say: If you buy a joint…you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit.

There is only one enemy; the “friendly” people you pay your taxes to: the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO.  HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL.

Ingesting THC, hemp’s active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma.  A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy.  You are able to eat on hemp.  This is a healthy state of being.

The hemp plant is an ALIEN plant.  There is physical evidence that hemp is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity.  Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for hemp. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuality.

HEMP IS AND WAS MADE ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!
