spring will see a boom, in the Gin Seng industry in Arkansas. Gin seng growing is comparatively new industry in Arkansas. but 1t IS an extremely, lucrative one Tn other states where it has been tried and the men who, are boom ing the new crop see millions in it figuratively speaking.
 George Keith, who lives near Brookland, is the ginseng grow ing pioneer of Arkansas. He has made considerable money at his uncommon occupation.
 In Ohio, West Virginia and in Minnesota ginseng is largely raid ed Tor export purposes. It goes chiefly to China where. the nat ives esteem it highly as a medi- cine although physicians say it's medical properties are unimport- ant. No matter what the "MeE- can" doctor thinks about it the Chinaman will have the drug and is willing to pay for it. The price it brought only few years ago varied from S6 tO SIP an ounce to S5GU to $4OO an ounce for the highly prized Asiatic variet- ies, the lower prices going to the United States product. But there is good money in ginseng at S5 an ounce or $60 per pound, apoth carries weight. Ginseng plants re- semble the human body and this characteristic give it it's name which is an Americanization Of the Chinese pronunciation

QUITS PEANUTS
 FOR DIAMONDS
Pike County Farmer Finds Stones on His Farm and Expects to Pro-
 Secute Developments

MurfreeSboro, March 13 - A farm which a young Ohio man purchased in Pike county to grow peanuts on has been pro- ducing diamonds instead. And now the young man William A. Gilchel' of Sandusky, has given up the idea of raising peanuts and has taken to hitting the pipe. But it is the diamond pipe that he hits and diamonds are his as a result.
 In 1906 Gilcher purchased land near Delight at c, nominal price and started in raising peanuts. year later the great diamond discoveries began to attract the attention of the world to Pike county after Dr. George kunz the noted diamond expert had dis closed the fact that the diam ends found rivaled the South Ar rlcan gems. A diamond boom started and the price Of Gilcher's land scared.
 No diamonds had actually been found upon his land as yet, but the diamond boom was on als around him. Gilcher went on calm
 y and raised his crop Of pea nuts. After picking them he start ed in to look for diamonds. He gave his land thorough blow ing, searching every piece of earth turned over. As a result ne found several diamonds. Then tho price Of his land went up some more and he is thinking of giving up the peanut growing in- dustry and of becoming q diam Ond farmer.
