The Rurdock In Japan.

\ Japanese correspondent says that
the burdock, which the Japanese call
"gobo," is valuable food in japan. The
tender shoots are boiled with beans,
the roots are put in soup, and the young
leaves are eaten as greens. The plant
has been cultivated for centuries, and
the annual value Of the crop Is about
100000. This will be very surprising to
American farmers who look ON the bur-
dock as a "pesky weed."-Garden and
