DRUG FARMING
By Frederic J. Haskin.

OF all the markets which felt the
shock of the European war, none ex-
periensed more sudden and startling
Quotations than that for drugs. Ex-
cept among the producers and dealers.
the rise in drug prices attracted COM
paratively little attention, for Few
persons know anything about the
American drug industry. tNevertne-
less, the prices OF some drugs ad-
vanced as much as six or seven hun
dred per cent when the European Inn
portations were cut Off, causing IN
tense excitement in trade circles.
Drug men believed that there was to
be positive drug famine, and thai
they would be unable to get the sup
plies they needed at any price. The
Immediate result was a propaganda
for raising OF drugs in this country
the promoters of which did not STOP
to consider whether such an enter
prise would really be a profitable one
for the general farmer.
+ AS result of this propaganda
there are now in the United States
a few well-managed farms devoted en-
tirely to the production OF medicinal
plants, and there are a number OF
persons who fondly expect to maKe
fortunes by raising drugs in thei.
DacR yaTOS, or even Dy gathering
weeds on their farms. and who will
probably be sadly disillusioned by the
SIN alIness of the returns which they
will receive for their labor. -
Extremely Limited.
1t cannot be too strongly empha-
sized that the demand for most crude
drugs Is extremely limited. as com
pared with other, agricultural pro-
ducts; that wide technical knowledge
and great care are necessary for their
successful production; and that for
all these reasons the opportunity
which is narrow in any case. is one
for organized enterprise rather than
for the small producer, seeking 6
profitable side line.
AS result of the propaganda fos
the raising of drugs in this country,
which followed the outbreak of the
European war. thousands of letters
have reached the department of agr-,
culture from persons who wished &C
enter upon the cultivation of drus
plants. usually on small scale anc
as a side line. Yet it is estfmatec
that if two men in each state IN the
union were successful in raising az.

mon drug plants. the demand fos
them would be fully supplied.

urged that department should be
created for the canal zone, with Maj.
or General in command. Several plans
have been discussed by the war de-
partment for change in the station

1t is stated that General Woods vis-
it is for the purpose of gaining his

General Leonard Wood, commanding

There is much difference of opinion.
1t is said, as to how the troops should
be stationed on the canal, and as to
whether special department should
be created for its defense.

canal, as provided for in the plans OF
the general staff, will consist of three
regiments Of infantry at maximum
strength, one battalion of field artil.
