Ginscng--A Good Plant to Leave
Alone.

Mr.. w. II. f.. Geneva County, Ala.
inquiries about ginseng seed. | gave
him. In a personal letter. the address
from which he could probably get
seed OF ginseng, and said:
Now let me add a word OF eau
ton. Most farmers are disappointed
as a result OF growing this plant. and
| would advise you TO place no con-
lideuee whatever in the exaggerated
stories OF immense profits from grow
Ing ginseng.
In The first place, one must wait
several years for crop; in the second
place. the slightest deformity or want
e desirable shape in the roots, pre-
vents the getting OF the highest
PRICE, and we are especially liable in
tn. South to have the roots attacked
hy certain pests that would deform
them.
"A bulletin on ginseng culture has
been issued by the Pennsylvania Ex-
pertinent Station, State College,
Pennsylvania, and | advise you to APP
ply for this. which will doubtless be
sent free
"Our farmers ought to be especial
ly shy of all of these 'get-rich-quick
schemes, and | fear that ginseng cul-
ture In this latitude belongs in this
class. unless you undertake 1t on the
smallest possible scale with practi-
cally no expense.
You doubtless understand that
the price Of ginseng is quite fluctu-
ating, and that the plant has no
medicinal or other virtue in itself.
1t finds Il sale only through the fact

does any other preVentable disease.
Governor Hughes has aptly said
that "our most valuable natural re-
source is our children" When we
consider that the fly is the chief dis
seminator of the disease to which
children are most susceptible, and
which heads the list of preventable
causes of death. the necessity for a
relentless warfare upon this domestic
pest is apparent.
1t is conservatively estimated that
the diseases transmitted through the
agency Of the house fly cut short the
average span of human life in the
United States by at least two years.
Insurance companies take notice.
During generation this means a
loss of 170,O00,O00 human lives, or
100000 lives of the present aver
age length, or a money loss of $780,
100000.
What are we going to do about it?
Are we going to wake up to the fact
that all this can and shall be stop
ped? With a full realization of what

l. the transmission Of intestinal
diseases, typhoid fever. cholera,
and diarrhea. 1t has also been
pointed out In recent studies by
the Local Government Board Of Lon
don that he may very possibly carry
tuberculosis, anthrax, diphtheria,
ophthalmia, smallpox, staphylococcus
infection, swine fever. tropical sore,
and the eggs of parasitic worms.
The fly which you remove from
your milk pitcher may or may not
have had life history connected
with all or any of these diseases; but
depend upon it, he has been wallow-
ing in filth before he took his milk
bath. The falling of infected flies
into milk on the farms or in the
dairies has made possible many a
local epidemic of typhoid fever.
This same propensity Of the fly for
milk baths has made the child's sec
ond summer" thing to be dreaded
by all mothers. How few parents
realize that were it not for the fly the
child's second summer would be no
moro to be feared than his second
winter. The very high death rate of
children from diarrheal diseases alb
ruptly rises and falls with the prev
alence OF flies. This great mortality
among young children from diarrhea
and enteritis causes a greater de-
crease in the human span Of life than

it means we should certainly take
care Of our own nuisances and see
that our neighbor does the same.
In hospitals and at home flies
should be kept away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases.
We should abolish open privies and
properly dispose of our sewage and
other waste products.
Stable manure should be thorough
ly screened and removed at regular
intervals.
Laws should be passed in all States
as they have been recently passed in
several, requiring the thorough
screening of all public kitchens, res
taurants and dining rooms. All food.
particularly that which is eaten UNI
cooked, exposed for sale during the
fly season. should be screened. The
same care should be taken with all
food in the home.
BY vigorously following these pre-
cautions much can be done toward
removing the conditions which breed
the house fly. thus helping material
ly in the determination of one of the
most dangerous pests in the world

Growing Late Crop of Irish Pota-
toes.

Messrs Editors: The late crop of
Irish potatoes is usually grown from
tubers saved from the early crop.
They are usually dug as soon as the
vines have matured and are stored
in a cool, moist place and covered
over with soil or some other material
which will hold moisture, until ready
for planting, which is the last week
in July or the first half of August.
IL a cellar is available, ii can be used
to good advantage for this purpose,
but If not, spread the tubers under
tree or on the north side of build
ing or board fence. Keep moist, but
not wet, so as TO start sprouts before
the tubers are planted. At this time
of the year the weather is so warm
that potatoes will not sprout in the
ground unless protected by a mulch
hence the necessity for sprouting be-
fore planting.
The method OF planting the late
crop is about the same as the early
crop. IT the land has been well fer
tilted or MANFRED for the spring
crop which preceded the potatoes.
very little. II any. fertilizer need be
added. Where the land has been
MANFRED with barnyard manure for
the previous crop or has grown a crop
OF cowpeas. very little heterogeneous
fertilizer should be used. In this
case apply acid phosphate alone at
tho rate of from 400 TO 600 pounds
per acre. For poor land or land that
has not been fortified this season,
use ! zoe TO 400 pounds of mix
ture of cottonseed meal. and acid
phosphate in equal parts Never use
barnyard or stable manure on the po-
tato crop as ii favors the develop
ment OF the potato scab. Apply to
the crop which precedes the potatoes.
Potatoes planted at the time sug-
gested will produce good crop OF
tuhers before frost These can be
dug and stored away. or. where the
land does not freeze deeply, they may
be left in the ground to be dug as
needed.
