and Its Cultivation is Well
Worth While.

When a product has no market value
for food, medicine or other use in this
country 1t is surprising to find it rep
resenting an export value of more than
100000 d year, with an established
market extending back more than half
a century.
Ginseng is such a product. Ameri-
can medical authorities have never
recognized it as having curative value,
but for more than hundred years its
root has been highly esteemed in
China. and the 1919 shipments of 2S2,-
600 pounds sold at from 50 to S23 Il
pound.
American ginseng was taken to Chi
ma by early traders, and formed the
principal part of the cargo taken by
the first American ship that visited
China. This ship, the Empress of
China. sailed from New York for the
celestial empire on February %, 1874.

Good Market For Ginseng

farmers and gardeners to undertake
the domestic culture of ginseng, and
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has issued a new bulletin,
Farmers Bulletin No. 1884, outlining
the best methods Of culture. The de-
partment previously issued Farmers
Bulletin No. 1856 on diseases of the

Ginseng culture is a long and pre-
carious process, requiring six years
from seed to marketable root, with the
most particular care during the entire
process. The market also is limited to
such an extent that it is estimated 100
acres would furnish a continuous sup

China were eight times what they were

CHIEF SEA SCOUT REPORTS.

AT the last national council meet
ing the chief sea scout, James A.
Wilder, made this report:
I'VE have found our sea legs. After
some backing and filling as to the
best methods, we have, with the adj
vice Of some 400 executives, and 9TH
ers, settled on the course to be steered.
This decision has steadied the sea-
coast program and the taffrail log be-
gins to register more speed. Novem-
ber 1920, was our banner month, fol-
lowed by the record breakers, Decem-
Der and January, 1920 and 1921. As
we 90 to press, February, 1921, has al
ready broken the record again. We
have registered more ships in the last
five months than in the previous three
years This is at the rate of ITO per
cent increase annually.
1--WE have the assurance that the
seacoast program is being pushed as
the official older boy program, in 81
cities Ships papers or preliminary
steps have already been taken by 104
scout centers. In some cities, notably
San Francisco, Honolulu and others,
the program has been under way for
several years without the registry of
a single ship, because of vote to
thoroughly train leadership before ad-
hitting boys to membership. The sea-
scouts. at the rate we are growing at
present. will be 200 "ships" in 1922. II
the last four months increase in our
number is maintained we will be,
in six months, the largest seamanship
training course or nautical school, In
the United States. Swift increase Is
not expected in the face of such slo-
gans as You must know 1t all the

her. Don't give up the ship Never
theless we're already half the size OF

goes we are giving the same boat-sea-

loaned to bona-fide seascouts, accord

All Nations Eat Wheat
While bread, in one form or another,
is the chief food of all nations, they
have various methods of making it,
Even the japanese, n relocating
people, make bread-nice snowy loaves
and many of the loaves are used
only in festivals and at feasts. In
Eastern Poland, where bread is a
very important food. it can be pur-
chased in almost any size or shape
big loaves and little, large rolls and
small, and multitude of fancy
shapes. The vendors of bread in this
country display their wares out of
doors, in baskets and on tables.
The big rye loaves sold on the East
Side of New York, In the crowded
tenement districts. are so large that
they are frequently cut and sold by
the pound. 1t is almost as much as
small boy can do to lug one of these
loaves home. and if he is required to
carry two he generally impresses his
little wagon or TIE family baby car
riage into service.
Many Styles In Bread
Every nation makes Its bread some
what differently In Berkovitsa, Bull
garia, for instance, the people hold
a regular hread-making fest in the
street. The women employ curious
bread boards about feet in diameter
and supported on other boards few
inches from the ground. The dough
is rolled out on these boards with
slender wooden rods and the result.

cracker an inch or two thick. The
women laugh and gossip as they work,

BUSINESS WOMEN
ORGANIZE CLUB

At meeting at the Hotel Oregon
Thursday night A business and profes-
sional women met and organized the
Hood River Business and Professional
Women's Club. One of the first tasks
Of the organization, it is announced,
will be to secure from the city tri-
angular plot, 200 feet long and 40 feet
at the wide end, at the intersection of
Cacsade avenue and Oak streets, city
extensions of the Highway. 1t is pro-
posed to turn the plot into park. COW
cred with native shrubs.
The women, learning than an offer
had been made TO the city for the plot,
to be used for a signboard, express an
eagerness to defeat such an aim. A
committee will work with the council
over disposition of this plot and the
elimination of other unsightly sign
boards.
Consideration of the proposed county
bond issue Of $3.50, 600 was the chief
topic of discussion at the meeting. f..
f. Batten and A. w. Peters, prominent
East Side orchardists who oppose the
bond issue because Of alleged improper
location. spoke against the issue. Col.
w. S. Dowd. Upper Valley orehardist.
addressed the women in behalf of the
issue.
While no definite action was taken
by the new club, consensus Of opinion
favored the highway bond iussue.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday evening. June 2, at the
Mount Hood hotel, following a $50
O'Clock dinner.

public. By the fall of 1922. the entire
distance from Astoria to The Dalles
will be fully paved. The A. d. Kerr
Construction Co. has the contract for
paving 10 miles of the Highway from
Hood River to the Marsh gravel pit,
east of Mosier. The Hauser company
plans on pouring the first "hot stuff
about July /, and the Kern concern
should begin operations about this
week. The road will only be closed to
traffic during working hours.
y The new grade between Hood River
and The Dalles is less by five miles
than old roads over the hills. The old
road between Mosier and Hood River,
climbing to an altitude of almost 1900
feet was dangerous because of exces-
sive grades and sharp curves. The
maximum grade on the old road be-
tween Mosier and The Dalles is HOO
feet. while the maximum of the new
grade is 7S0 feet. At the high point,
just east of Rowena Dell, both Mount
Adams and Mount Hood are in view of
the motorist, and Mount Defiance, at
the west of the Hood River valley,
lifts it head, one of the highest wood
ed points on the continent. The con-
struction of the grade between Hood
River and Mosier was the most expen-
sive undertaken by the Highway Com
mission up to the time of its compile
tion. The cost of the six miles, on
completion of graveling, had reached
an approximate 1875 600. The cost of
grading the l8 miles from Mosier to
The Dalles has reached $370, 600. The
graveling cost is estimated at $68, 400.
The heaviest expense on the latter
stretch was met with on Rowena
Point. Between Rowena and Mosier
a total of 2l4,600 cubic yards was
moved in excavation. Between Row
ena and The Dales only Ga, 600 yards
were moved. The cost of paving the
road from Hood River to Marsh pit
will reach 1851, 600. From the latter
point to Mosier the contract price is
1888, 581.
The Columbia gorgeside from Mosier
to The Dalles is now especially beauti-
ful. Because of recent rains the grass
on the shallow soil of the bare slopes
is unusually green. The summers s
drouth will soon result in the parching
of the greenery. and the hills around
Lyle will turn brown. The motorist
now is attracted by the wide expanses
given an exquisite coloring by the
bloom of purple lupin and the gold of
wild sunfowers.
En- route from Hood River to The
Dalles the motorist passes into eastern
Oregon. The difference in topography
is marked as the car, headed eastward |
