HISTORY.

American Ginseng or Panax Quin.
quefolium, is a plant closely related to
the parsley family, in which family are
included the parsnip, carrot and celery.
(Ginseng is a Chinese word meaning
man-shape.) The root has been used
constantly in China for centuries. A
report of the high estimation in which
it was held in China for centuries.
Father Jartaux, a missionarG in China,
gave a description of the plant and sent
samples of the roots. seeds and leaves to
Father Laftau, who was a missionary
among the Iroquois Indians in Canada,
and who thereupon began to search for
it. He soon found roots answering the
description of those sent by his brother
missionary, and after due time it proved
to be a near relative Of the Chinese
root-Panax Ginseng. This discovery
was made near Montreal, Canada, in
the year 1716.
Soon after it's discovery tho French,
who then controlled Canada, began to
gather it for export to China through
their Indian agencies. At first the ex-
portation of the root was looked upon
with so little favor that the business
was given to the sailors as an extra in
ducement to remain in the service. The
value then was only "a cents per pound.
but as it grew abundantly and could
be obtained for a song, the export trade
was very profitable.
In the early days of expectation, the
price was very low, being only 50 cents
per pound in 1858, and that year 1860 O5
pounds we're exported, since that year
the quantity of root exported only 49,
573 pounds, the average price paid for
same being $4.71. This shows at a
glance that the amount exported has
decreased more than so per cent, and
the price has increased over 900 per
cent. In 1908 there were exported
155, 1870 pounds, the average price paid
for same being $7.21.
Until five years ago little cultivated
Ginseng had been marketed. 1t had
been fully demonstrated the plant
would grow under cultivation success
fully, but would the Chinese buy the
cultivated root7 Occasionally small
lots of cultivated roots were sent to
China which sold for gsod prices, bring
ing, in some cases, from 20 to 40 per
cent more than the wild forest grown
root. The forests have been cut down
and cleared away to supply lumbe and
make farms, discriminating the Gin
seng plant, except in a few isolated
mountain forests, where it has been so
persistently hunted till it is well nigh
extinct.

DESCRIPTION-BoTANY

The seeding plant has three simple
leaves in a whorl at the top of the stem,
they at first look something like newly
sprouted beans. rising two inches above
ground. The leaves resemble the leaves
of the elm, and as it grows wherever
poison oak grows, and also is not greatly
unlike the latter in appearance, many
plants are overlooked by the Sang
Diggers." During the second year the
plant grows four to six inches high,
Separates into two branches at the top,
and each branch has five leaves. Gull
tivated plants, and some wild ones, pro
duce in the second year berries which
are about the size of wax beans, con
tanning from one to three seeds each.
A straight stem rises two inches high
from the fork, on the end of which are
very delicate yellowish blossoms.
These are followed by a pod of green
berries. which, in August and Septem-
Der turn to q beautiful red and look
very much like a bunch of cinnamon
drops. The third year the plant grows
eight to twelve inches high, branching
at the top into a tripod, each branch
having five leaves. The fourth year
the plant has four branches at the top
of the stalk. each having five leaves.
The stalk is about the size of a lead
pencil, and of a reddish-green color.
The four year old plants grow twelve
to twenty inches high, and a bed OF
fine, uniform cultivated plants, with
large pods of rich, red berries, the
value of which is so cents to $3.50 per
plant, is exceedingly beautiful and in
teresting..
NATURAL HOME OF THE PLANT.
The natural home of Ginseng is in
the wilds of the forest. Those who
commence the cultivation of the mys-
FERROUS root should always bear this in
mind, and make the environment of the
garden as neal like the primeval forest
az possible. In other words, make the
surroundings shady, cool and damp,
and the soil rich. In its wild state it
thriyes best in the rich, moist, but we'll
drained, soil from which the oak, hick-
ory, beech, maple and similar timber
thrive, but will not grow in low, wet
marshy soil. It is cultivated CONNER
cially in New York, Pennsylvania,
M1CQ1gaQ. lSCOuSlu, dnu ooupH w
Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, North
Carolina. A garden that will produce
vegetables will produce Ginseng.
SOIL.
Having chosed the location of the bed,
the next question, or rather the one
that must be considered at the same
time as the location question, is the
choice of soil. Choose almost any
quality or texture, with the exception
of clay, heavy clay loan, light sand and
muck. These are not adapted to the
requirements of the plant and its best
development. The best soil is a good,
friable loom, light rather than heavy,
and we'll supplied with decaying vegeta-
BILE matter. 1t must be clear of stones,
clods, chunks of wood, tree roots and
other obstructures, so that the Ginseng
roots may have free range to develop
and not be robbed of food or be dis
turbed. The deeper the soil the better,
and should have a natural drainage al
it will not grow in a swamp or where
water stands, as it requires a soil Like
that which we use for Our gardens.

Autos and Mortgages.

Emporia, Kan.-Nearly one-fourth
of the automobile owners here have
mortgages on their property. A list
of auto owners secured from the IL
cense book in the city clerks office
and compared with the mortgage req
lister in the county register of deeds
office, reveals the fast that twenty
automobile owners out of eighty-four
have mortgages on their homes,
property, business and chattels to the
extent of S134,902.50. One big lump
sum for a business concern cuts the
figures down to $74,902,50 for nineteen
persons. About two-thirds of the
mortgages are on homes and places OF
business. Some, it appears from the
register, have acquired debts for in

One man who has $4,000 on property
