PROFIT IN GROWING WEEDS
Wisconsin Agricultural Professor
Shows How Hundred Dollars an
acre Can Be Made.

A profit OF 500 an acre from grow.
ing weeds which have medicinal prop
critics is possibility for any farmer
according TO experiments which Prof.
f. Kremer OF the State Agricultural
college of Wisconsin has been making
on a four-acre tract near Madison.
Catnip, boneset. spearmint. pepper
mint. sage. horehound and tansy are
some OF the drug weeds which Pro
fessor Kremer found could be grown
with profit. For all these there is o
steady market. and they can be grown
with no more care or attention than
ordinary timothy hay. While the lat
ter is high at one cent a pound. the
leaves OF the drug weeds. when prop
erly dried and cured. may be sold fol
from three TO eight cents a pound.
Spearmint is one OF the many weeds
ordinarily neglected which Professor
Kremer finds can be grown with profit
Manufacturers OF chewing gum and
other commodities use large quantities
and II can be grown on wet. soggy
ground which Is useless for any other
purpose.
The finest quality OF catnip can be
sold for eight cents a pound. while
sage and peppermint present good pos
sibilitles OF profit. The boneset is o
wild plant usually growing In marshy
ground. II may be planted broadcast
like timothy and the dried plants are
worth from Eve to six cents a pound.
