ARE WORTH ONE CENT APIECE.
Seeds Of the Ginseng Command That
Price and They Are Scarce
at That.

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent
apiece or from eighty to one hundred
dollars a pound. Dried root is worth
1925 a pound.
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk
The second year it adds another leaf
on each part and the third year the
plant grows in three parts with three
leaves on each part and this year a
seed ball forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to
five inches above the foliage The av-
erage plant, says a writer in Outing,
produces from fifty to sixty seeds, and
sometimes goes as high as 100 seeds.
Wild plants yield better than culti-
waited.
The fourth and fifth years one leaf
is added to each stalk. The fifth year
the plant is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves to each stalk. Il
grows from one to two feet in height;
sometimes as high as 81 inches. The
leaves are broad and fiat. about four
inches long and two inches wide when
full grown, with escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market and IS months
to terminate the seed for growth
There is more cultivated root now on
the market than wild. The plants are
found on high, dry land in the woods
and never in swampy places.

COOPERATIVE COLONY.
PhiIanthropist DevOtes 10000 to
Benevolent SeIf-Helping Plan.

Spokane, Wash, Sept, 1t.-Ten
thousand acres of farming, grazing
and timbered lands near Starhuck,
Wash, have been set aside by Dr.
Marcel Pietrzychi, a philanthropist
living at Dayton, Wash, to estab-
lish a cooperative agricultural and
industrial colony, to be incorporated
under the laws of this common
wealth. He will furnish the stock,
seed and implements to produce the
crops, and plans to lease the tracts
to colonists, taking his rentals in
products of the land. Applicants for
land must be under so years of age
and where able they will be required
to contribute $500 to the working
capital. However, this is not cum
Hulsory, the idea being to supply
homes for deserving persons who are
willing TO work on a cooperative
basis. The affairs of the colony will
be administered by a directorate OF
Is members to be selected from
among the early applicants Dr.
Pietrzychi announces that fifty fami-
lies are ready to join the colony and
that as many more Will be taken
before the close of the year. Some
of these are carpenters, machinists
and other craftsmen.
