4 FEW years ago people became
~ interested in growing ginseng.
~ There were many disappointed
q \ experimenters. 1t is q minor
industry which returns a profit to
limited number of growers who know
how to manage the plant and can af-
ford to wait six years for the roots to
reach size that is marketable The
value OF the exports of ginseng from
this country for many years averages
slightly more than S2,000,000.
Ginseng is native product that
has commercial value. Its dry roots
have been sold for more than CEN
tury and it has gradually increased
in importance. Ginseng is valued by
the Chinese for medical use. Few
other countries grant to this plant the
curative properties given to it by the
Chinese.
The fleshy-rooted herbaceous plant
was once very common in Maine for
ests and from this State to Minnesota
and southwark in the mountain re-
gions to Georgia and the Carolinas.
The plants loved the well-drained
places in hardwood forests.
AS soon as it was discovered that
the markets of China were glad to
have it, there sprung up overnight
experts who promised fortunes to
those who would plant it. The great
est interest at that time was among
persons who thought they could plant
it in their back yards, where they
could take care of it and in six years
reap return that would pay them big
dividends.
After the first furry, those who
knew the truth about the plant and
its marketable value were really small
in number. The cultivation of gin
seng is now in the hands of few
Found in the shaded regions Of the
places it loves, the wild plant grows
from to 20 inches high, producing
three or more compound leaves, each
consisting of five stalked ovate leaf
lets that are very thin and pointed
at the tip.
The flowers are produced in the
Summer, about the middle of July
There are from to 20 small, greenish-
yellow blossoms. In the Autumn

there will be crimson berries in their
place. These scarlet-coated berries
hide from one to three fattish, wrin-
kled seeds about the size of a small
pea. The birds are very fond of the
spicy coated seeds and are responsible
for the distribution of the plant.
The root, which is the valuable
part, is rather thick, two to four inches
long and spindle-shaped. It is about
an inch thick. The cured root is
valued not by weight, but by size and
age. The best ones are soft and waxy
when broken. Too young roots are
hard and have CLASSY 1bers
The roots may be dug at any time
after the growth ceases in late Sep
tember and after they are six years
old. They are carefully freed from

soil, care being taken not to remove
the dusky skin. These roots are then
dried in furnace or stove and spread
on open trays made of wire netting.
About six weeks are necessary for the
curing. Then they are stored in dry
and airy places, protected from dust
and vermin.
The cultivating of ginseng in its
native haunts would be difficult be-
cause of the problem of fencing in or
protecting the valuable crop. Many
growers prefer to give the plant the
proper shade, soil and care necessary
in an area they can take care Of. The
plant is also subjected to blights,
wits, rots. The yield varies greatly
and the whole undertaking depends
upon the skill of the grower.

Seek Bids For
Construction OF
Q Parkway Links
Omen Bids On Two N. G. Pro
iects. Construction In Coun-
ty Nearly Finished.
MORE FUNDS SOUGHT

The bureau of public roads IN
washington Monday said it was
advertising for. bids to be opened
early in January on the construc-
ton of section 81 and Eek OF the
Blue Ridge Parkway in North lar
Dina.
Contracts for work on these
projects. which the national forest
service approved last week, will De
let as soon as possible after bios
are opened. Bids on section ri,
running from Beacon Heights TO
Linville Falls, will be opened jan
uary 6: and on section Tx, extend
ing from Linville Falls to Mckln-
ney Gap, January IL.
A bridge project on section z-J
and a viaduct on Tx will be ad-
vertised along with the road con-
struction bids. Bids for hard-sur-
facing will be asked for within q
weeks, although this work cannot
be started until after the winter
months.
With the exception of bride and
viaducts, actual construction work
on the Parkway in Ashe and Ale
ghany counties is nearing compile
ton, and the park service estimat-
ed that the construction of the four
uro6edts mentioned ABOVE will
practically exhaust the entire $4,-
100000 (less 10 percent) appropr1-
ated for the Parkway at the last
session of Congress. Meanwhile
plans are going forward for section
NV. running from North Carolina
state line to Piper Gap in Virginia
and section III, from Volunteer
Gap to the Pinnacles Of the Dan.
The Presidents recent economy
speech may have some effect on
the appropriations for the Parkway,
but it is generally believed that
congress will provide. Sufficient
funds to keep the construct ton work
going. Congress, for the fiscal
years ending June 80, 1888 and
1899. authorized the expenditure
of .$10,0OO,000 for the Parkway.
Actual appropriations was consi-=
derably out last session and it was
largely through the efforts of Con-
gresham Doughton that it was re-
stored to $4,500.00. The park SER
vice is now asking for appropria-
ton of the balance of the $4,000
600.
