Many farmers could well spare a quarter or hall acre out of his 
wood lot pasture to grow ginseng to pay his voys’ or girls’ expenses 
thru college six years hence if he does not need the proceeus for him- 
self to pay off the mortgage, build a new hétise or give him and mother 
a trip around the world. Get your penéil and figure it out yourself, 
Two pounds GINSENG seed are necessary for two square rods seed 
thre first two years. Allowing some loss this would about cover a quar- 
ter or third of an acre when reset. 
After planting and resetting there would be little work if planted 
on round not infested with weeds, for shade and mulch discourages 
weeds. | | 
See what a few rods would bring at the lowest possible estimate 
ai 10 cents per root. The largest root we have ever marketed weighed 
three feurths of a pound, value $1.80.
