fsll three pounds and sometimes less
Than three are sufficient TO make q
pound OF dry. 1t Is dug generally by
poor people through the country. Small
farmers and their boys frequently spend
q week or two during the sanger"
season in the fall, when not otherwise
engaged, In digging "sang" as the peo-
pie call 1t. There are also regular sang
diggerso or sanggers,n who make bus
iness OF 1t during the season, camping
out In companies Of from six to dozen
persons, and moving from place to
place like gypsles, only they do not
have horses aid wagons with them.
They consist OF
Men, women and Children.
They do not remain very long in one
place, as they soon dig all the ''sang" in
the neighborhood Of the camp. These
semi. nomads are not REGARDED with
mueL favor by the farming people near
whose eorn.felds they often make it
convenient to camp. An expert gin
seDg digger can dig four or five pounds
Of green roots in q day where the plant
is at all plentiful.
Green ginseng is bought by the mer-
chants through the country in exchange
for goods. They pay from 50 to so
cents per pound for it and from 81 40 to
81 50 per pound for dry sang. There
is no art in drying it; all that Is neces.
sary is to wash it clean and spread it out
in the sun or over q slow fire for few
days and it becomes dry enough to
ship. Phe merchants buy all the
''sang" that is dug in their prospective
observation-disclosures of them lake in
several hundred pounds in season.
| They ship it to commission merchants,
who sell it to the exporters. Clarified
ginseng usually commands a higher
price than the crude article, The pro-
cess of clarifying is very simple-the
gree n roots are thoroughly steamed, I'M
til they are soft and pulpy, after which
they are carefully dried, either by natur-
al or artificial heat. This gives them
clear, almost transparent, appearance.
In Japan ginseng is cultivated to some
extent, but it would hardly pay to Gull
tivate il here, where it grows spOntan-
eously, unless the price should be much
higher than it is at present J. c. W.
