II ENTRIES IN CORN CLUB

Entries in the Mellette County Pho
neer Boys Acre Corn Growing Club
closed last Saturday night. We have
a very representative club membership
this year of real live farmer boys who
will plant one acre each of Rosebud
King Corn, and compete for the Tro
ply Cup, and also the pure bred
Hampshire Sow, offered by Mr.. An
dersop for the best acre yield. We
should liked to have had a Club of
fifty members, bat somehow, the boys
were q little slow in waking up to the
opportunity offered, and several were
disappointed when they tried to make
entries in the club after entries had
been closed. However, this is most
always the case, and while we are sor
ry for the boys who got left, yet all
must sooner or later learn the lesson
of promptness, and to grasp oPportu
nifty when it knocks, II they want to
make a real success in life.
The following have made entries
thus far this year:

Product Is Highly Esteemed in China,
and Its Cultivation Is Well
Worth While.

When a product has no market value
for food, medicine or other use in this
country it is surprising to find it rep
resenting an export value of more than
100000 q year. with an established
market extending back more than half
a century.
Ginseng is such 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 So to S23 u
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.

wild ginseng has led many American

Good Market For Ginseng

the domestic culture of ginseng, and
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has issued a new bulletin,
Farmers Bulletin No. 1854, outlining
the best methods of culture. The de-
partment previously issued Farmers
Bulletin No. 1855 on diseases of the
ginseng plant.
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 700
acres would furnish a continuous SUD-
ply of all that is needed. elm the mid
die of the last century exports to
China were eight times what they were
In 1919. The price at that time aver
aged "a cents pound. In 1919 it av.

The Norwegian peasants make
similar kind of flat bread, the baking
generally being done on a sheet OF
iron placed on top of heap of stones
which are kept hot by means OF
nest of glowing embers underneath A
little roller, with notches, something
like miniature carpet sweeper. Is
used to flatten the dough and give
the cakes Of bread an ornamental ap-

Different Places, Different Bread.
In Lebanon, Syria, the native bread
is made in the street with the neigh
bors looking on. Much the same sort
of utensil is used as in Norway and
the baking likewise is done on a sheet
of metal with fire underneath. The
women of the family attend to the
mixing of the dough and the baking
while the job of the man is to keep
up the fire with twigs and chips of
wood gathered wherever they can be
found.
In Southern Europe young boys are
the principal vendors of bread, carry
ing around large baskets filled with
loaves of rye bread which the natives
consider delicious. In San Salvador,
Central America, the natives make
tortilla, thin, unleavened cake of
maize, rolled out with a stone in the
shape of our own familiar rolling pin,
and baked ON heated iron plate.
In Caracas, Venezuela, the universal
food takes peculiar form. The rolls,
which the city baker distributes. car
rying his load around in two barrels
swung across a sleepy-looking donkey,
look like tiny canoes with one end
missing.
The Peruvian Indians have queer
little booths along the roads for the
convenience of the hungry traveller
who will find there loaves shaped
something like English mullins and
which are better to eat than their ap-
pearance would indicate.

regular bread-making fest in the

bread boards about . feet in diameter
and supported on other boards few
