sport the American reservation has all
the advantages. The character OF the
country varies from the spruce-clad
mountain range Of the northwestern
part to a level, wooded valley of the

There are sixty active glaciers in
this park, creeping down the sides of
the mountains. and from all Of them
spring clear mountain torrents. which
In turn feed beautiful rock-bound
lakes. There is splendid fishing in al
most all of these waters. Deer and
bear are extremely abundant. while, the
moose and elk, which are rapidly being
eSterminated In all other parts of
North America, are present and on the
increase. Considerable numbers Of
persons annually visit the glacier
park. the records for 1914 showing that

BIG GOLF PROJECT.
Long Island to Have Four Courses
Grouped on One Plot.

NEW YORK. April 1s.-Wholesale golf
for the public will result if the plans OF
William c. Freeman of West 45th street,
who has interested a syndicate in the con-
struction Of four eighteen-hole courses on
an extensive estate on Long Island, thirty
minutes ride from the Pennsylvania sta
ton, are successful. Five hundred acres
Of property, to be purchased at cost Of
about s1,500 an acre, will be used for the
course The actual acreage for the four
courses will be 45o. and they will be laid
out so that there will be no interference
with one another.
Donald j. Ross. who laid out the three
golf courses at Pinehurst. has been en-
gagged to lay out the Long Island courses.
and it is planned to have the first tee
and the eighteenth green Of each course
within a short distance of a clubhouse.
The plans for the clubhouse contemplate
the erection of a large building along the
lines of hotel. with accommodations for
$50 guests. The whole project will neces-
state the expenditure of about 81 900 000
but the members Of the syndicate believe
there Is enough interest in golf in and
about New York to support the project

MEDICINAL DRUG PLANT
y: FARM IS ESTABLISHED
American Scientists Using Land in
Virginia Opposite City
for Project.

medicinal drug plant farm on a
large scale. a thing unique in the an
nails OF horticulture in this country and
abroad. has been established by Ameri-
can scientists on the Virginia hills just
opposite the National Capital. 1t is
contended by those in charge of the
farm that 1t will go far toward revolu-
tionizing the trade in medicinal drug
plants and the channels of supply of
these plants
The whole operation has been under
taken after conference with the ex-
perts Of the Department Of Agriculture,
who for some years have conducted
experiments In the cultivation of me-
dfcinal drug plants at the Arlington
farm, owned by the department just
across the Potomac river. The new
drug plant farm Is established on the
property of John B. Henderson. jr.. who
has taken scientific interest in the
matter and has turned over his land
to those in charge for a long period of
years
Although attempts have been made
before to esta blish farms for the cul-
tivation of some of the medicinal drug
plants. no attempt has been made here
tofore to plant and harvest all the
medicinal plants which have been found
growing in the temperate zones of the
world. II is planned to develop at the
farm the best and sturdiest of drug
plants. through careful cultivation and
selection, akins il possible to pro-
vide the medicinal drug trade with
plants of standard value. which is i'm
possible at this time.
Vary in Strength and Value.
For the drug plants used are almost
entirely collected by peasants and
countrymen abroad and here and sent
10 the markets. These plants neces-
sirily vary in strength and value, and
according to the government officials
III New York great quantities of
spurious drug plants are shipped to
this country annually.
Just at present. with a. war raging
in practically all of Europe. the supply
of drug plants for use in the United
States has become more precarious
than ever. In the first place, the per-
sons who have gathered these plants
in the past are either at war or un-
able to gather the wild plants because
of war. In the second place, the fact
that thousands of men are being
wounded in the war each month makes
il necessary for the military authori-
ties to take over the great part of the
drug supplies for their own use.
At the drug farm in Virginia about
forty-f1ve acres of land are being plant
ed with drug plants this year, and IL Is
planned to very much increase this
acreage next year Already enough Sc
iected belladonna plants for five acres
have been brought up under glass Big
beds containing 100000 ginseng roots
have been set out in the woodlands.
Other plants which are being grown in
clude cannabis. larkspur, golden seal
or hydrastis, japanese peppermint,
senega, colchium and sprigelia.
