Original caption: How natives of Yucatan, Mexico, harvest hanequen, the abundant Sisal hemp that promises to relieve our depleted pulpwood forests in supplying America's enormous demand for newspaper print. The mature plants yield from 12 to 20 stiff, pulpy leaves, which the harvesters cut with sickle shaped knives. About an ounce of marketable fiber is obtained from one leaf.
