LAWRENCE DELANEY'S
GINSENG FARM
Santa Fe JOSher Has GOOd
Thing, but it Nets Him
Little

co,esd Il. delaney is in @ heap
~ trouble. Gays the wichita Eag.e
For wears here ~ wichita he has been
,okinr ua.A now. when he has come
upon a ecol thing which he is selous
apout he can't get anybody to oeieEe
that he Is in earnest
This thing which Delaney y SER
oua aboas is a ginseng farm Mr. pe
laney is ADVERTISING for an acre ~
s-orna heavily shaded for which ne
win nav fancy price He is also
bnrt,ne for gardener. But as he Is
alwavs Joking he can get no oner Oh
an acre Of ground and no gardeners
.nneaF Every time he mentions sln
uanp his friends laugh, and he Is wen
night discouraged.
In three or four years from oa'e
when Delany is taking 100000 year
from that one acre Of land, the peo-
nle viii realize that It was not a joke.
One attractive feature of growing
ginseng is that so little ground is need
ed. E. D. Crasley, grower OF New
York state. estimates that 19S,440
plants can be grown on one acre, In
beds four and onehalf rect wide al
lowing for walks between the beds.
Mr.. crasley estimates tho value of
this number Of roots at 56,097 go. Mr..
s. G. Clifton. a Missouri grower, says
that one acre Of ginseng is about all
one man can attend. aad the least esti-
mate is worth $4,000 at nve years old.
According to the experience or prac-
tical growers, one square rod Of
ground. under. the best conditions, II
planted in twoyeas old roots and al
lowed 70 grow four years, will pro
duee results as follows.
One square rod Of ground furnishes
room for s2S plants, set eight inches
apart each way. allowing for walks
between the beds. Estimating four
roots to the pound, gives 207 pounds;
When dried sixty nine pounds, at 81
per pound, s4Ss. While making the
four years growth these plants should
produce l65, 600 seeds. or 2lS ounces,
and as there is ready market for the
seed at SEQ to $50 per pound, these
seed represent value OF not less than
$4 per ounce, or 1876, increasing the
