The government has done much TO
waken interest in the cultivation or
plants used in medicines and the
knowledge that there is msney Ia tEa
common and much despised weeds -
spreading every year and very con-
siderable industry in medicinal weeds
has arisen, but 1t is far short or Whit
it should be.
The average farmer cannot bring
himself to believe as other than
heresy the declaration that a weed Is
simply useful plant out of place. but
Il is good occupation for women,
boys and girls.
The price paid by big jobbinG drug
houses for leaves, flowers or roots or
the commoner weeds which afflict the
farmer with their presence when he
lets them get out OF place are as fol-
lows:
Dandelion roots, jimpson weeds,
leaves and seeds, poison heniock,
freshly plucked and dried flowers and
leaves and dried and cleaned seed OF
black and white mustard, five cents
pound; dried leaves and blossoms or
horehound and wild foxglove, six to
seven cents a pound; dried blossoms
of the tall pasture mullen, go cents
pound II sealed in tight jars.
In addition to the above standard
drugs the dried leaves Of pokeweed
and trillium. goldthread and Jack-in-
the-pulpit are marketed as well as the
leaves and the flowers of tansy, 10
bella, boneset, catnip and a dozen 9TH
er very common plants, all of which
are in demand at the market prices.
