This industry has been carried on in
Garden City for six years, and an
eighth of an acre is growing under

under natural shade.
Ginseng is plant of large leaves,

for the root and seeds. The former
lis in ready demand and is market

City From there it is shipped to

and is also used for ,coloring teas.
In this country it is used to some
extent for Indigestion and other all

on the older ginseng is a bright scarlet
color, formed in cluster the size of
an apple, which commands high

Water Works Matters.

On Wednesday several mem
bers OF the town board, accom-
panied by A b. Mead and X. ].
Huff, went up to the spring and
inspected the pipe line down as
tar as they could travel on horse
back The NEWSPAPER editor in
terviewed Mr.. Huff on Thurs
day and obtained the following
information:
Mr.. Huff admits the apparent
leak in the main or conduit pipe
some three hundred feet below
the intake. but believes i; comes
from another spring. and possibly
from one above the intake. He
does not think there is a leak in
the pipe. but that II Is from other
sources. This cannot probably
be proven without digging up the
conduit at the suspected place
and tracing the water back TO its
source. He says that it is ap-
parent that more water can be
DEVELOPED from additional springs
and favors action looking to such
result.
Little water is now wasting at
the standpipes along the line.
Practically none at Corners and
little at ROBBERS. They were
unable to examine the leak in the
valve at the small reservoir. or
the waste from the flush pipe,
owing to lack of time that day.
We are glad to see this interest
taken by the people in the matter
as well as by the board members.
If personal visits to the line are
made we may safely calculate
that conditions will be improved
and that the town will have all
the water it needs.

How The National Forests Serve The
Public

The Use of the National For
ests, a publication just printed
by the Department of Agriculture.
is brief. clear manual for pub
lie information as to the forest
policy of the National Govern
ment.
1t is too true, as the short pre-
face TO the public says, that
many people DO not know what
National Forests are. Others
may have heard much about them,
but have no idea of their true pur-
pose and use" 1t is the object OF
this publication to explain just
what the National Forests mean,
what they are tor. and how to
use them.
In the first place. it is explained
how the Forests are created and
how their boundaries are drawn.
Next, their direct use and value
are shown from the point of view
of the homeseeker. the prospector
and miner. the use OF timber, the
use of the range, the use of water.
and other uses of Forest re-
sources Third. it is shown how
the Forests are intended for use,
for the production of usable pro-
ducts. and for the establishment
and maintenance of homes; how
on all of them the timber is pro-
tected from fire. the water flow is
kept steady. the forage on the
range is increased and guarded
from abuse; and how. in addition,
they serve as great public play
grounds and as breeding places
and refugees for game. Finally,
the management of the National
Forests is described.
Here it is that the great useful
ness of the Forests is brought
out most clearly and strikingly;
for the Forests are managed by
the people in their own interests.
and every means is used to meet
the desires and wants of all For .
est users half way by dealing
with them in the main directly on
the ground and in all cases with
the utmost practicable dispatch
and freedom from red tape.
In word, the special interest
OF this manual lies in its showing
that the Forest policy of the
Government, both in principle
and in practice, is for the benefit
OF the ordinary man, for the ben
eft of every citizen equally. There
is still a tendency to think of the
National Forests as preserves"
closed to use. and to leave the
public lands exposed to unregu-
lated individual exploitation.
Where these misapprehensions
still prevail The Use of the
National Forests" will go tar to
correct them.
The book is written by Mr..
Frederick +. Olmstead, whose
intimate knowledge of conditions
in the West and the policy under
which the National Forests are
managed especially fits him to
deal with the subject.
