CIIISJJSE WATER IV UTS .Natives Extremely fond of the Famil iar llorned Lin; or Ung- lok The term "water chestnut" in China is indiscriminately applied to several varieties of nut fruit of plants growing in water, which form a considerable por tion of the food supply of many natives. They are so well liked by Chinese that large quantities of the nuts are exported to various parts of the world, particularly to Chinese in the United States and the Philippines. Perhaps the more widely scattered species is that known by the Chinese in the Yangtze Valley country as "ling" and in the Canton country as " ling kok." This nut is shaped much like the two horns of a water buffalo or Texas steer, including a portion of the skull. The shell is so hard as to require cracking and the colonel is comparatively small and consists of almost pure starch. The "ling" or "ling kok" is the variety most generally noticed by travelers along the canals and ponds of Central China. On the canal system connected with the Grand Canal in Che-kiang province and in that canal itself the cultivation reaches its greatest extent. The nuts are planted merely by dropping year old nuts at in tervals of a few feet in ponds or along the edges of a canal where the plants can be forced in by bamboo poles and a net work of bamboo. They are planted annually in the spring, growing best in five or six feet of water. The nuts take root quickly and send a shoot to the surface in an incredibly short time. The nuts are formed among the leaves of the plant on the surface and are gathered in boats. A water chest nut field of this sort resembles in appear ance a field of water hyacinth in the riv ers of the Southern United States. The nut plant, in fact, grows under similar conditions to the water hyacinth, and it is probable that the nut could be culti vated in the United States where the hy acinth plant now grows. The Chinese people use these nuts in various ways. They are eaten boiled, tasting like a Jerusalem artichoke. f i a is: t t?' " V.
