RAISING DRUG PLANTS
1 ' |
The cultivation of drug plants in
ihe United States concerning which
.here has been considerable agitati
on since the outbreak of the’ pre
sen1 ' “ — is the subject
of a farmers’ bulletin recently is
sued by the department of agricul- 1
ture. This publication gives, in all j
addition to general instructions re- 1
garding cultivation, harvesting and
marketing, specific and detailed in- j
formation concerning about 60 of
the leading drug plants which have
been grown in this country.
The author, Mr. W. W. Stock
berger, takes a conservative view j
of the possibilities offered by this
branch of agriculture and especially
claims made in some quarters by
persons interested in the sale of i
plants and seeds, who ask “the pu
blic to believe tha.t extraordinary :
profits may be realized from gfow
ing medicinal plants, even in a1
situation no more promising than
the average city backyard.”

WHY THE NEGRO’S SKIN IS
DARK
The baby Negro is not bom black
Even so long ago as 1765 Le Cat
noticed that the newly bom Negro
isof a reddish color. That obser
vation has since been frequently
confirmed; and it is now pretty
widely known that, though the ba
by Negro begins to follow in the
footsteps of his parents as regards
color within a few days after his
birth, yet at the moment of birth
he shows a disposition to aspire to
wards the Caucasian race, being
white, or at worst red in hue. It
is generally assumed that the cheif
of all causes of a Negro’s black
ness is the hot sun beneath whose
more or less vertical rays he is
doomed to live. There is, however
a physiological condition of the skin
which defferentiates that organ
from the integument of the white
man. In other words there is a
difference in what is known as
“pigmentation.”
“The Negro,” says a scientist,
“possess a more developed vascu
lar sudorparous system than we do.”
In other words, he has more and
larger sweat glands, and they are
more liberally supplied with blood.
By means of these he perspires more
abundantly. This condition is pos
sibly a contributary factor in his
blackness. It is an important ele
ment in the investigation to remem
ber, however, that the blackest of
all back people are almost invar
ably found under certain very de
finite climatic conditions That
is to say, they are found where
great heat,strong light, and much
atmospheric moisture are in com
bination. For example, “the black
Negroes in Africa are those who
live in Guinea where the greatest
amount of rain annually falls.” On
the other hand, “the people who
live in the dry section of the Nu
bian desert have red skins.”
