PROBABLE NEW CROP.

An Illinois farmer is engaged in an
experiment the result of which may
prove of especial interest to the people
Of certain sections of Virginia, North
Carolina. and Tennessee. His expert
ment is the cultivation Of the ginseng
plant. Ginseng is quoted in this mar
ket at S2Q2225 per pound. but the prin-
cipal market for it is China, where It
is worth s. per pound, the seed being
worth s. per ounce
The principal ginseng supply comes
from Korea, where the plant is culti-
waited, and from certain areas Of Vir-
gnia, North Carolina, and Tennessee,
where it grows wild, and its collection
is quite an industry with the natives.
The chief use made Of ginseng in China
is kept a secret though it is supposed
to be a necessary ingredient in the
preparation Of Chinese opium. and it
is known that the Celestials attach to
it miraculous curative powers. Before
the Introduction Of the American variety
into the Flowery Kingdom it was
worth its weight in gold there. Indeed,
IL is said that at one time the Chinese
Government, fearing that the limited
supply of ginseng grown in China would
become exhausted, prohibited its collec-
ton, declared it imperial property, and
became the sole vendors Of it, 1t is also
stated that the Russian Government
spent vast sums of money in trying to
introduce its cultivation into Russia, but
failed.
According to the Chicago Record, the
Illinois farmer referred to procured
some Of the ginseng seed in 1894. and
sowed them on his place. but up to last
fall not a sprout had appeared This,
however. was not regarded as discourage
ing, as it takes the seed eighteen
months to germinate. But, in the mean
time, the experimenter went to North
Carolina. made a study of the plant
in it's native haunts," and last spring
secured a number of roots, which he
replanted at his Illinois home. AT last
accounts the plants were thriving, and
we are told that "it is expected that
the first crop Of the valuable root will
be ready for market in the summer Of
1898. and from that time its annual value
should increase rapidly" The expert
menter is convinced that the quickest
and the best way to get started in the
business is to replaut the green roots.
If the cultivation of ginseng shall
prove remunerative in Illinois, how
much more remunerative ought 1t to
prove in the areas where IL flourishes
in the wild state to the best advantage.
and when all the conditions would seem
best adapted TO its domestication? This
is a question the people Of the ginseng
sections of Virginia, North Carolina, and
Tennessee might do well not TO ignore.
