strange But True

Tnere are over four hundred million Chinese, and strange but true, they all use Ginseng in one form or another. Besides being made into a popular beverage. Ginseng is kept as a charm against bad luck. very much as some Can- adians keep a rabbit's foot for luck.

”I.'mperiai Ginseng" brings the

highest price. of course, -- some- times as high as 3200 a pound. Its use in limited' to China's blue bloods. The roots grown in Korea fetch an average price of 125 a pound, while Canadian ginseng (grown mostly in Ontario and Quebec) bring a les- ser price on the Chinese market. Another amazing fact is that these roots resembling the human form, bring fabulous prices. sometimes 600 times its weight in silver. - That it takes a heap of vegeta- tion to make a coal mine may be gleaned from the following aston- ishing facts.

In Nova Scotia up to e hun- dred forests were buried one above the other, with the roots of trees found still in their original posit- ion.' and with the trunks of some standing erect; while at Essen, Germany, the rocks tell the story of the death of 140 forests going down into the bowels of Mother Earth, puiped by Father Time, to make coal. A bed one yard thick takes a thousand years to make. Thus 3,000,000 years were necess- ary to produce the South Wales field.

Not until 1833 was a daily Mall service established between London and Paris, and the charge on a

,foreign letter, in addition to the

ships postage and the express in foreign countries varied from Llil

to 48 cents. The postage on I let- ter sent from one port of England to another amounted to approxim- ately 20 cents a sheet.

Conditions were still worse in the cc!c.-:ie.-. !: you "ill look on the maps of 1800 you'll be surprised to find only I few good roads in Northern New England. parts of New York state and Northwest Penn- sylvania and not one in Maine, or the Maritime provinces. As the population went up stage compan- ies were organized. but it was not until 1783 that the first stage- coach line was operating between Boston and New York.

Persons who had settled along the coast had the advantage or cheap water travel. The fare from New York to Providence for in- stance, only cost six dollars.

Here in Prince Edward Island similar conditions existed. The shore farm was the farm par ex- cellence; and every owner of a shore farm had his own means of transportation, a small boat. What a change time has wrought! Today, the shore farm is more or less isol- ated for what with long lanes lead- ing to the thoroughfares, the far- mers occupying such holdings are hard put to get their automobiles and trucks to the highways during the winter months.

In less than a century the new world was transformed from A wilderness of forest and prairie to a land of active industry.

Who dares refute the claims of some scientists that rocket trips to and from the moon may be a reali- ty ln the next quarter century?

Consider the tumult and shout- ing that was set up by the peoples of the old and new world when steam engines mounted on wheels were substituted for horse-drawn conveyances. When the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was opened with horses and rail coaches, the great

Daniel Webster laughed at the

switch over. "No tra.n could ever run when frost was on the rails.” he said. We now know that Webs- ters knowledge of mechanics was not even rudimentary.

Always we have the scoffers who say "it can't. be done". -They re- present the majority. But we also have the men who say ”it can be done", and they do it. They repre- sent the mlnorlty. true, but one man of vision and initiative is worth a hundred of the other kind.

Worry and high taxes seems to be the curse of this generation. You can get rid of the worry habit it not the taxes. Those that har- bor this evll influence are only keeping themselves back.

Worry weakens the willpower, saps the nerve force, and makes one miserable. Why worry when worry is not a real thing at all, but just a phantom? The best shield against worry that I know of is plerrty of courage pluck, and faith in what we are doing.

Like many of our weeds. couch- grass was introduced from Europe, and is how one of the worst pests our farmers have to contend with, taking possession of all cultivated fields and crowding out valuable crops.

Not all plants have A green stem and leaves. The exception is Crow- ley-root, a perennial, belonging to the orchard family (orchidaceae). This oddity among plant is leafless. and instead 'of a green stem it has a purplish brown, sheathed scope. and having a clustered head of purplish flowers 2 to 4 inches long. The rootstock of this plant is also curious. resembling in its for- mation a piece of coral which is why it is sometmes called coral- root.
