FOR GREATER MISSISSIPPI +
BY III. E. BLAKESLEE.

Some three or four years ago the
writer frequently referred to the pos
sibilities Of ginseng culture in the
Greater Mississippi department. A
number OF parties were beginning the
culture Of the plant at that time, and
considerable interest was being
shown. 1t grows wild in several sec
tions of the state, being gathered
from the woods and sold generally by
the women and children for pin mon
ey. In the writer's native county,
Benton, it grew in profusion on the
hill sides and in the little valleys.
Several dollars worth of the root could
be gathered by family during the
year. The following letter from Mr..
a. G. Goff, of Youngton, Warren coun
ty, will prove interesting as he gives
his experience in handling the plant,
together with some possibilities Of its
culture:
Comparatively few people know
anything of it's culture and value.
From my personal experience cover
ing ii period of several years, believe
that an acre of good ginseng would
easily be worth fully fifty thousand
dollars. started four years ago with
600 plants. Last year (October) /
dug $50 pounds which made SO pounds
of dry roots that readily sold for
over $500. also sold $3.50 worth of
seed and planted 100000 besides. The
root product was taken from six beds
each three feet wide and thirty feet
long. In 1906 I planted 100000 seed
from these plants and have this
spring 250,O0O healthy and vigorous
plants. Also have about 25,O00 plants
from seed planted prior to 1906.
have sold plants to be delivered this
fan to the amount Of $1,557. The
whole amount of land occupied is less
than one-third of an acre. Seed that
ripen after the 10th of August if not
allowed to dry before being planted,
will genninate in 18 months Seed
that ripen earlier will come up the
next spring and it takes five years
to mature a root. To obtain the best
results ginseng should be planted in
deeply worked, rich and well drain
ed soil with two-thirds or three
fourths shade. 1t will not grow on
wet land or in the sun. The root is
used principally by the Chinese and
is worth from five to ten dollars per
pound, according to quality"
There is evidently something in the
culture of ginseng for our people i
they will properly prepare for it and
are able to carry it through. It is Z
native here and could undoubtedly be
grown and cultivated to an advantage
but there are drawbacks of course
It is expensive to prepare the lanC
by mulching and shading as requires
and then the plant must be carefull,
guarded to prevent thieves from steal
ing in a night what it has taken year
of patient attention to produce. From
seven to eight years is required 7
