Good Advice on Ginseng Business

Look out for ginseng and mush-
room companies that tell you
how you can make a great
amount of money with only a
little labor and only a very little
land or cellar room. Especially
look out for the companies that
promise to buy all you can raise,
at fixed price, no matter what
the price is. Do not undertake
to grow ginseng or mushrooms
either, until you have visited
some honest man who is making
a success of the business. Many
women in moderate circumstances
are continually asking if they can
support themselves by growing
ginseng in their little gardens.
Prof. l.. A. Clinton, director
of Storrs Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Connecticut, says.
81 have investigated carefully
the ginseng industry of Central
New York, having visited many
gardens, and l am certained there
is no profit whatever for the or
dinarv farmer. If one desires to
purchase few ginseng seeds, or
better yet, a few roots, to expert.
ment with, he will probably re-
ceive information enough to pay
him for the money expended; but
he should not be much disappoint-.
ed If he receives no returns from
his investment, and he should
charge up the money spent as
tuition for his education.'

Is 1t a Freak?

A large cluster of red rasp-
Berries upon one of this years
stalks was brought into this office
Yesterday morning by S. N. Will
kius. This freak of nature may
have happened before but it is SO
unusual, it has excited more than
ordinary comment. 1t is we'll
known that, ordinarily, rasp-
Berries, bIackberries, and the like
require two years to mature, and
need excellent care even at that
age to bring good results. Mr..
wilkins has four rows of these
raspberries and the stalk from
which the berries were taken was
the strongest and most favorably
; located of all.
The patch is we'll protected on
all sides with abundant sunshine
during most of the day. The
soil is spaded deep, we'll manured,
pnlverized, and over the whole is
laid a thin mulching of straw.
The old stalks were turned out
last year soon after bearing so as
to give the roots the benefit of
rest, and likewise this year as
soon as the berries were gathered
the old stalks were removed and
the young shoot topped. This is
supposed to have been the cause
sfthe phenomenon in question.
The strength of the root when the
parent stalk and the top of the
young scion had been removed
grew a sucker Or false top upon
the young shoot, and upon this
she- beautiful large clusters of
: Berries grew.
There is no doubt but that the
extra care bestowed by Mr.. Will
kins, together with the opportune
removal of useless dead material
eaased the supposed freak. In
this accidental discovery, there is
5ood for thought to berry raisers.
It may be that, with proper care,
a,whole year may be saved. The
stalk we have ID our possession
Bore twenty blossoms and eleven
.aarge, full-sized berries.

To Extend The G.. & e.

A matter of much Importance
came before the Linn county
court, the early part of last week.
1t consisted of a proposition for
joint action OF Linn county with
Marion county court in the con-
struction of a road from the end
of the G. & E. railroad near
detroit over the Cascade mount
aims to Crook county in order to
bring the growing commerce of
that section of Eastern Oregon
to this valley, instead of letting
it go over the difficult road to the
Columbia river.
The road would be of immense
value to Albany and Linn county
and it would be thoroughly
appreciated by the business in
terests OF Central Oregon, as it
would give them an easy road to
market.
