Reports coming from all sections
of Culpeper county, and Madison and
Rappahannock counties, continue to
tell of damage done by the two day
storm of wind, rain and hal! which
visited that section. On the Norwood
farm, belonging to Turner Ratrle,
near Brandy, a large barn was dcS-
stroyed by the wind and four head
of cattle killed. On the Farley estate
the destruction of gardens and grow
ing crops was almost complete. In
Haywood, Madison county, tin roofs
were cut to pieces by the hail, which
fell in great quantities, the size Of
guinea eggs. The wheat and rye
crops are total loss, and gardens
will have to be plowed up and en-
tirely replanted. The damage. to the
corn is great. Three miles below Gull
pepper several freight cars were blown
from the track during the storm.
which also unroofed and destroyed
many buildings in the same section.
The fall of rain was the greatest
known for years.

MONEY IN GINSENG.
Hampton Man Gets over $1,000 Frsm
Small Patch.

George W.. Pease recently. marketed
his 1917. crop Of ginsenS,. and received
$1,000 from about two -fifths of an acre.
Mr.. Pease has. nearly one acre OF GIN
seng at his suburban home Just east OF
Hampton. For several years past ne
has. been getting from $3.50 to 500
from his yearly harvest Of roots, but
this year he had much larger crop
than formerly.
The price Of the ginseng root this
year seems to be just the opposite Of
everything else in the way OF prices
lower than usual instead OF 100 per
cent or more higher. Mr Pease be-
.lieves, too. that he does not receive
the proper grading on his ginseng crop
that he should. because he only re-
ceived about $3.50 per pound OH thus
years crop. when the market runs as
high a. 81.
The heavy rains in the early spring
destroyed much Of his crop this year or
he would have had . record breaker IN
every respect as far as quantity was
CONCERNED. so instead of getting the full
benefit of his nearly one acre of gin
seng he only got returns from about
two-fifths Of an acre. Still, at the low
price he received, $1,000 Is not bad
from two ffths Of an acre. but Just fg
ure what Mr.. Pease would have re-
ceived had not the tain destroyed a
large part Of his crop and he had re- (
ceived grading 30 that the price
would have been couple of dollars
higher. There is sure money in raising
ginseng. (.

DEMAND GOOD ROADS
Governor Clarke Believes There Will
% No Rsaetienary Road Legislation
by Thirty Seventh Asssnnbly--PubIie
will Insist on Improvement. -

Des Moines Dec. 12.--Governor
George w. Clarke does not believe there
will be any reactionary road legisla-
ton by the Thirty seventh general as
sembly. The splendid work which has
been done on the roads the past few
years. the grading and draining ana
the permanent bridge building have
pleased the people in general the re-
firing governor believes. He therefore
does not believe there is any likelihood
OF putting permanent check to this
work by legislating back to former
methods in road work.
This marked improvement; III me
roads has been brought about thru
long period Of agitation and education.
In many Of the more advanced commu-
mites the farmers themselves who own
the lands along the highways are gray
cling the roads and making permanent
roads OF them. Many Of the staunch
supporters Of good roads legislation
which have been in former legislatures
will be in the coming one. There are
a number of new men whose attitude
on the roads question. however. is not
now known. But if the attack on the
highway commission is renewed II VIII
have some OF the same staunch~de-
tenders among the present lawmakers
that it had two years ago.
However, the road issue was such
prominent one in the past campaign
that it is certain, to. come forward in
one form or another in the coming SEES
sion. In many counties the opponents
OF advanced road legislation feel they
have won a victory and just what atti-
tude new legislators will take on the
road question is the subject now OF
speculationA
Practically all of the leaders. how
ever. seem to feel that the road ques-
ton will work itself out II each COM
is permitted 10 decide the road
question for itself 1t is believed that
all those who have found the economy
of permanent bridge building and
bridge improvement and OF proper
draining and grading of the roads will
oppose any Gripping of the state high
way commission or doing away with
laws which have brought the roads up
to where they are now.
