Farmers Urged to
Watch Fields
For %Grasshoppers

With the grasshopper hatch
getting under way east of the
continental divide, Monana far
mers and ranchers are urged
by Jack Corkins, assistant state
entomologist at Montana State
college, Bozeman, to keep a
close watch on their fields to
determine how much of a con-
troll problem they are likely to
have this year.
If warm weather prevails
during the next ten days to
two weeks, he said, a large part
of the grasshoppers will hatch.
Half the battle in successful
control of 'hoppers, Corkins
pointed out, is to start control
measures while the new crop
of 'hoppers is small and while
the pests are concentrated near
their Matching place. Delaying
control work until the 'hopperS
start migrating will make the
job more difficult and expen-
SiVe.
Farmers and ranchers are
also urged by Corkins to keep
their county extension agent
informed if it appears that
there will be a serious control
problem.

RippHng
OF the Rivers

GueSses on the population of
Hardin are running all the way
from about 1000 to $500 or
300.
Soon, now, we should have
something more than gueSSeS
to go on, since the work of the
enumeratorS is about wound up
for this decade.
However, anyone who has not
been counted still has an OPP
portunity to contribute to the
final count. In this issue is a
form which may be filled out
by anyone not yet enumerated
and sent to the Census Bureau.
If you haven't been counted,
please fill out the blank and
send it in, and help us poor
fellows who have our sights
raised in the census betting.
incidentally, a recent news
item states that rats infest
about two-thirdS of Montana,
according to William H. Slaugh-
ter, federal public health SerV-
ice rodent expert.
Slaughter has informed the
Montana health board that the
rat population is much larger
than had been estimated.
Counting the people seems a
tough enough job. How one goes
about counting rats is a myS-
terry to us.
With the arrival of summer
comes the army of itinerant
vendors, statesmen, solicitors,
promoters, and what have you,
with all sorts of Understanding
schemes, a few of which are
perhaps worthy of considera-
ton.
A goodly percentage of this
army are highly trained to sell
or promote some item or prop
oSition, and they are artists at
their trade. It is difficult to
weaSle out of their snare once
they have one buttonholed, but
most of us would do well to
proceed with eXtereme caution
when approached by one of
these out-of-toWn strangers.
The hometown merchant
maintains his home among his
patrons. He helps pay the taxes
in this county to support
schools, roads and other activ-
tiles of the county and town
in which he lives. He is inter-
eSted in community projects
and supports them. He is in
tereSted in the citizens of his
community who are his neigh
borS.
The itinerant vendor is in
terested only in making as
many sales as possible in the
shortest possible time and TAX
ing the money out of the
county, to his own home town
if he has one.
Our favorite nut story this
week concerns a male nurse in
a mental hospital who noticed
a patient with his ear close to
the wall, listening intently. The
patient held up a finger as a
warning for him to be very
quiet; then beckoned him over
and said: You listen here"
The nurse put his ear to the
wall and listened for some
time, then turned to the patient
and said: 81 can't hear any
thing"
"No"' said the patient, "and
it's been like that all day."

Ginsenr,

"Stew me some ginseng I need
strength" is the Chinese way of re-
sorting to a pickup" during the
day. But to them, the brew has
definite power to cure all ailments
We export to China 81 million
worth of ginseng every year. Our
doctors assign small curative pow
ers to the ginseng roots.
Just what is ginseng? To the
Chinese it is "Jin-tsan" meaning
manlike; to the botanist it is Panax
Quinquefolium, relating it to sar-
saparilla and spikenard: to the
Chinese druggist, it is the panacea
for every i'll.
In TIA, Father JartouX, a mis-
sionary in China, published an ar
ticle about the plant in The Philo-
sophical Transa ctions of The Royal
Society of London. calling it "A
Tartarian Plant called Ginseng"
He included a small drawing of the
plant
Father Lafitau, missionary
among the Iroquois in Quebec, read
the article and started a mild boom
for ginseng. Within two years the
Canadians were selling a similar
plant to the Chinese markets. The
price started at IS cents per pound,
and the French ran it up to more
than $3.50 per pound. But the har-
vesters, wishing to get rich quick,
dug up immature roots and injured
them. The Chinese, demanding per-
fection, soon rejected the roots.
The industry dropped from 100000
a year to nothing.
1t is easy to identify the plant be-
cause of its five leaflets. Three of
them are about 4 inches long and
two are not more than an inch in
length. They are splayed out like
the fingers Of hand. The erect
flower stalk Of 18 inches bears a
cluster of greenish-white flowers in
spring and a cluster of scarlet ber-
ries in autumn. 1t is the root with
its fantastic dancing feet and
crippled arms that the Chinese be-
lieve has such curative powers.
Even Daniel Boone gathered the
Sang" In 1884 he went into Ken
lucky to gather the roots which he
took up the Ohio river to ship to
Philadelphia. George Washington
recorded in his diary after a visit
to Ohio in 1874: I'm passing over
the Mountains, I met numbers of
Persons and Pack horses going In
with Ginseng"
The roots sold for "a cents a pound
and the price continued to climb
1t is estimated that 1t costs 81 500
to start an acre Of ginseng and a
wait from five to seven years for
crop. It is therefore less risky
to hunt for it in oak, beech and
maple forests. Trappers in Canada
and the United States find ginseng
growing near their traps. They dig
up the roots, selling them to fur
dealers who sell them to Chinese
agents.
-Four million people in China drink
ginseng tea and flavor the stews
and dishes with the licorice favored
roots.
History reveals that the first New
England ship to sail for China, the
sloop Harriet" carried a cargo of
ginseng which was traded for tea.
