I got down to Huby's about nine o'clock and he was already to start but it took us quite awhile to get what we wanted to take loaded in to the buggy. We had to take our lunch and several other things. Quint came home last night and he said he would like to accompany us so Huby fi=xed a seagt in front of the dashboars fir hikl so we didn't have to hold him on our knwees. We let Joe take it weasy as the sun was hot and the flys were bad and we made quitea. aload. huby found Dr. Macinnes in his office in Vittoria and he told him quite a lot about Ginseng. he said that there never was a better market price for the roots as there is now and he thought that any body starting now would be indeoendent in ten years. He had noneof it tefre t show us as he grows it all on his farm four miles wetnos Vittoria, but he invited us to go up there and wrote to his man introducing us.
