GlilL'G FWHt FOR ROGUE VALLEY Charles A. Trapp Comes From Missouri to Establish. : '- Industry. . (Special Ctopatoh to The Journal.) 1 Medford, Or.,- Dec. 7.

Ginseng farming Is one of the most profitable pursuits to which the soil can be put In case the country Is adapted to tha growth of that herb, and as a usual thing a country which will grow oak, cotton wood, alder and pine is adapted to the growth of ginseng. This herb. In Its growth, requires but littls heat In fact in south Missouri the original home of ginseng farming in the United States, the plant is grown under shade, and in its wild state is found growing in a mulch of dead leaves and forest debris, in the most shaded places. , COLLEGE WILL MAKE IRRIGATION TESTS (Special P!p8teh to Tba Journal) : Olympia, Wash., Dec. 7.
