To the average ,rson this news item is puz ng. yet on closer inquiry there brought to light the culture of wild root which has been used - the Chinese for centuries, and r choice specimens of which ey often pay a price equivalent its weight in gold. The gov nment reports show that this portant article of commerce s grown scarcer year by year, d is now, in its wild state, arly exhausted. One could hardly expect the !ople who gather the roots in e woods-the "sang diggers" take advantage of the money aking opportunities which the iltivation of the plant would ford, for they are a shiftless, aving people, wholly incapa e of keeping up with the march modern progress. In the .rly history of the trade efforts ere made to cultivate the plant, it without exception these at mpts failed. Some fifteen years ago a few >ung men, who were laughed for wasting their time, again ied its cultivation, and by reful study of its requirements cceeded in establishing the ct that it could be made a cer in and exceedingly profitable op. The price of the root has lvanced steadily for thirty gars, and this has caused the tive diggers to harvest even .e young plants before they uld bear seeds and have there taken away all hope of in ease or even the possibility of plenishment. Practically the iy seeds and roots to be had >w are from the gardens of the oneer growers. The land needed for its culture so small that even a couple of [uare rods of garden space can made to pay hundreds of llars annually. A half acre of nseng will yield a larger profit .an many 200 acre farms. SMALL FARMS. The ginseng gardener has the [vantage of the ordinary far er in many ways; there is no ?avy interest on the money in sted in land, no larger barns ceded to store the crop, no out y for horses, stock, tools, or red help, and a woman can as .sily do the work required for of an acre as can a man. One rdener in Cortland county, N. has been banking-85,000 a ar regularly for the past four ars, and that alone from the le of seeds raised on less than e-third of an acre. There are in this county alone >out seventy-five gardens un r cultivation, and it is not ex ~gerating to say that most .of e owners are to-day worth ousands of dollars, many of bom, five years ago, were not orth $200. United States Con 1 Johnson is quoted as saying at 820,000,000 worth of ginseng uld be marketed each year in ina if America could supply at amoun~t of roots, In 1858 there were exported 6,000 pounds, while in 1900 ere were exported less than 0,000, the price in that time ving advanced steadily from cents per pound in 1858 to an ~erage of $C per pound in 1900, bile to-day the price varies om $7 to $10 per pound, ac rding to the grade. If the average housewife rea ed that from a ground space her own dooryard 10 or 12 feet de by 20 feet long she could alize $150 to $200 .each year, ith no more attention than is quired for a flower bed, it is asonable to suppose that gin ng would become one of the ost widely cultivated crops in merica. It seems like a tale om the "Arabian Nights" to , that an investment of $25 ill increase yearly in value, itil at the end of eight years will have a total value of over 0,000; yet statistics prove that -en these figures have been ex eded by the growers who have trdens under cultivation to THE OUTLOOK. Those who have studied the nditions governing the use of e plant in China are of the inion that enough ginseng nnot be produced in the next 'ty years to cause the price to 11. As a matter of f-act, the iown sources from which the nseng can be gathered for ex rt are so limited that the price the root must 'needs advance eadily for the next fifteen ~ars. The roots often~ form in grote ue shapes, and it is'not infre ient that the root takes the meral shape of a man's body ad, arms and legs complete. >r such a root of good size the linese will pay fabulous prices. When any member of a Chi se family is seriously~sick the iests are called in, (as many iests as there is money to pay r,) who dispose themselves in semi-circle about a high altar, ected for the occasion, on ich is a image of Buddha, .ked on each side by a tall ndlestick. At the feet of the age is a carved tray, on which placed the wonderous ginseng, ich is to bring the sick one ck to health. During the prayer the priests STurkish fashion, with their et tucked under them. Their ayers invoke the blessing of .e idol on the magic root, which afterward ground fine and eped into a tea, which is then vn to the patient. The prayers are always inton , and in some cases are so well ndeed as to remind Ameri ns of the cathedral services dd in Christian lands. Nearly ed to the accompaniment of weird music from horns and shells and the shrill notes of an instrument made from a human thighbone hollowed out and converted into a musical pipe. LENGTH OF THE PR AYER. This prayer lasts for about twenty minutes, when the high' priest, attired in a gorgeous dark purple robe, passes among the participants and presents each with a cup of strong tea, on the surface of which is float ed a small piece of butter. Hav ing drunk the tea, they resume their prayers in good earnest for another twenty minutes. They then consider the job completed, and if anything on earth is going to save the sick one, that root of ginseng they think will be the article to do the trick. At the time of child birth the mother - will always have a root of ginseng on the small alter in the room; if the child lives, it is given the root to guard carefully all of its life. as having been its chief sponsor when it made its first kow-tow to an admiring family. In gambling, which is always a strong passion with every Chinaman, the ginseng is often concealed in the folds of the clothing, and if bad luck attends the player the root is brought 1 out and appealed to, to change his fortunes. Chinese merchants keep their choicest roots wrap ped in fine silk and put them in a small metal box, which is i again placed in a larger wooden box-the inner one securely packed around with quicklime to absorb all moisture When purchasing a choice root one is requested not to breathe upon or handle it for fear of the root absorbing even C a small amount of moisture. The merchant may be depended upon to dilate on its many vir tues and the wonderful cures it had effected. The ginseng is often sent to friends as a valuable present. In such cases it is usually ac companied by a small, beautiful ly finished double kettle, the in ner kettle of silver and the out er one of copper. This kettle is used only for making the wonderful ginseng tea. American chemists have found _ no medicinal - properties what ever in the plant, and its cura tive value imaginary. However that is of no consequence to the American grower, for it seems that John Chinaman must have pinned his faith to the root when Adam was a little boy, and has held to it ever since. A thousand years from now will find him still holding to his belief in its virtue, and will also find the American grower still alive in exchanging the root for its equivalent in American dol lars. t ZR.

Cotton is being picked out as rapidly as possible, it will not be long before we will have the best of it. Several of the farmers around here are speaking of plantin'g tobacco next year, I think it would be a good idea, for we have as good lands around here as their are in the State for the weed. It will not be long before the children here will gather their slates books and file in the school room. The new acad emy is much better situated than thec other one and far more comfortable. Prof. Davis has been selected principal, we wish him much success. Miss Eva Curtis spent a few days at Oswego, visiting friends and returned home last week. On last Thursday evening there was a moon light picnic given at the resi dence of M1rs. J. 31. Boswell. Quite a crowd attended. and we had a very good time, cream and cake was ser-vedl by Misses Jessie Curtis. Dora Lewis ad Ella Boswell which was very ac ceptable. Rev. JT. D. Huggins was pres ent and seemed to enjoy himself very much. Let me just ruminate a few more things and I will close. Mr. Appelt was defeated for the Sen ate, was it justly done? I do not think so from what I hear. I would not want an office on such grounds just think fellow readers of a man living in Sum ter county quiting his work and riding around here doing all he could for a can didate that looks like the pay business. Well old Paxville gave M1r. Appelt 118 votes, which I know he appreciates, and if he should become a candidate again we will do still better. Paxville, S. C'., Sept. 22. 190O2.
