THE NEW MOSS INDUSTRY.
A Babcock Man is Reaping Fortune off
Worthless SWamDS,

To the ingenious observer there are
all kinds of ways of making a living
and even wealth off thu widely
diversified lands of Wood county.
The latest novelty in this line that
has come under our observation is the
extensive operations of Geo. w.
Lyons of BabcOck, this county, in
sphagnum moss.
Out of 1900 varieties of MOSES in
the United States, this is the only
variety that has attained any cOnsid-
cradle commercial value. For many
years this moss has been used for a
variety of purpOses-for making
mattresses and bedding material, for
envelOping bulbs and the roots of
plants which are to be shipped long
distances and as repository for
SprOuting delicate seeds, etc.
The first attempt in this section of
country to utilize this moss for the
above purpose was made by Z. X.
JeWett of Sparta, a nursery dealer and
florist, about Is years ago. He
gathered it and used it about seeds and
bulbs that he shipped to southern
cities. These southern dealers fancied
the scheme, and an exchange of their
products for the moss soon became so
extensive that Mr. Jewett could not
supply the demand and others inciud-
ing Mr.. Lyons in this county, began
to gather the moss in large quantities
and to ship it to wholesale dealers all
over the United States and even to
Canada. The principal markets are
at Chicago and Cleveland, Ohio. For
the past three years Mr.. Lyons has
been shipping about $50 tons a year
from BabcUck for which he has received
between four and five thousand dol
lars year. but this year he expects to
double the output.
All the cranberry marshes and tam
arack swamps in the county are fer
tile fields for the growth of this moss,
and produce on the average about five
car loads to the acre. They can be
harvested about once in three years.
The work of preparing the moss for
shipment is quite simple. 1t is picked
or dug up with an Instrument resem-
bling an old-fashioned potato hoe and
dried in sheds for two or three days.
after which it is baled like hops in
burlap or like hay with wire. The
bales weigh about 40 pounds each and
sell for so ta IS cents per bale accord
ing to QUALITY.
