triple damage provisions of the
Sherman act after a seven-week
sitdown during which the COM

damaged.
In his opinion, Stone said:
whether labor unions and
their activities are wholly ex-
eluded from the Sherman act
Is n question OF statutory con-
struction, not constitutional
power. The long time failure
of congress TO alter the act,

congress OF legislation which
implicitly recognizes the ju-
dicial construction as effective,

ignition that the judicial con-
struction Is the correct one -.
while we must regard the
question whether labor unions

circumstances subject 10 the

WILLING TO PAY
ADDITIONAL TAXES

| hqualiy revealing OF the state OF
mind of the American people today
is the fact that a great majority
say they would be willing TO pay
additional taxes to cover President
Roosevelt's emergency defense re-
quests.
President Roosevelt actually left
this question on the doorstep of
congress in his special defense
message. The president did not
specify whether he thought the
additional billion should be COW
cred by special defense tax" or
by further government borrowing.
In the past, congress has always
been chary of levying new taxes
In an election year.
But the Institute survey asked
voters throughout the United
States: Would you be willing 10
pay a special tax to cover this
increased expenditure ?" The an
swers were:

Why Not Grow American
Ginseng and Golden Seal?

ed. For this reason a number of
progressive and far seeing men
brought these two plants under
cultivation a number of years ago.
Another popularity about gin
seng and its culture is the fact
that it seemed to be an old mans
industry. Very few young people
of today are interested in a crop
where it requires from five to
six years to mature, and as the
old growers who used to supply
our market are gradually pass
ing on, and from the fact that the
young people hesitate to engage in
a business where five to six years
are required before they can har-
vest the product, the production
of ginseng and golden seal has
been gradually falling off for the
last number of years, and as the
supply has gradually decreased
from year to year, the price has
gradually increased, as for in
stance, the Department of Agri-
culture gives the average produc-
ton of dry ginseng from 1000 to
1900 pounds per acre and the
average price for the last twenty
eight years as $500 per pound.
In travelling thru your vicinity,
the writer has noticed a large
number of desirable native groves
in which thousands of pounds of
these valuable plants could be
grown, and to anyone owning, or
in position to rent some of this
timber, we will be pleased to send
our book on ginseng and golden
seal culture, Forty Years in our
Ginseng Gardens" absolutely
free. This book gives our many
years of experience in the grow
ing, drying and marketing of
these two crops and contains
large number of photographs of
some of our extensive gardens in
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Canada.

1 am surprised how few people
really know what ginseng and
golden seal are or what they are
used for and where they can be
grown. Well, in short, they are
both valuable medical plants,
ginseng being used in the Orient
and forms one of their standards
of medicine, and golden seal being
used extensively in our country,
Germany and Russia.
presume the reason that so
few people know what ginseng
and golden seal really are is the
fact that there are only few
states in the union where these
plants will grow, Wisconsin being
the largest producing state, and
Minnesota and Iowa being next.
Canada produces millions of dol

Ginseng prefers an acid soil and
OF course both plants must be
grown in the shade, either arti-
fetal or natural. Both plants are
at home in any mixed hardwood
timber such as any kind of oak,
Eastwood, hickory, red elm, hard
maple, black walnut and butter
nut, the undesirable trees being
soft maple, ash, water elm, in
fact, any trees that you find
growing on poorly drained soil
are undesirable for ginseng Gull
ture.
Fer best results these crops
should be grown under about
seventy-five per cent shade in a

best be determined by the kinds
