That the present rains are doing
but little damage to the prunes is
the statement made by those who are
in close touch with the situation
throughout the county. In all sec
tions it is reported that In spite of
the severe handicap caused by the
great shortage of labor, the growers
are getting well along with the pick
ing. The season is more than half
over and driers are full and working
at capacity. The rains have caused
a slight amount df splitting, while
brown rot has shown up to a very
small degree In the prunes that are
on the ground. However, the sun
shine which has alternated with the
showers has prevented serious dam
ace by rot, and it Is expected that
the greater part of the crop will be
saved. The prune growers are work
ing under difficulties, there being a
decided shortage of pickers. As a re
sult of the construction of a large
number of new driers, most of the
fruit can be taken care of as soon
as picked and consequently the loss
has been greatly reduced over what
It would have been had there been
lesR drying capacity.
Reports from the Willamette val
ley are to the effect that great losses
have been caused by the rains there.
The prunes there have been splitting
badly and are being made unfit for
use and the brown rot is also quite
prevalent.
Local packers are prepared to start
their plants soon as prunes are al
ready beginning to come In. All of
the plants have been thoroughly
overhauled and put in condition for
operation, and as soon as a few more
tons of the dried fruit are brought
Into the city the packing will be
started. Although the price Is not as
good as was offered last year, it Is
still verv good and the growers will
realize an excellent profit on their
cron.

ITx.f. Roquet Writes It. A. Ilerscher
In Answer to Inquiry That Mint
Can He Produced in Paying
Quantities in This County.
Whether or not the raising of
mint would prove profitable in the
I'mpqua valley is a problem that has
been Interesting to growers for
some time past. R. A. llerscher, of
lillard has been one of those most
greatly Interested in the proposed
mint growing project, and recently
rote the Agricultural College ask-
g for advice of experts as to the
feasibility df the plan. In answer he
received the following Ifrom
G. Boquet of the vegetable gar-
enlng department.
"t am having sent to you a pam
phlet, giving some details as to the
growing of mint. There is an assocla-
on of mint growers in this vicinity
hich is called the Willamette Val-
y Mint Growers Association which
association recently held a meeting
Monroe. Benton county, for the
purpose of pooling the oil oh" this
year's crop and setting a price on
ho same. They have decided to offer
ho oil for $8.00 per pound, apd It Is
probablo that there will be some ten
or eleven thousand pounds of oil pro
duced by the mint growers In Demon
inn and Lane counties. Mint can be
rown almost anywhere In the Wil
lamette valley and ln other parts of
he stnte where the summers do not
get too dry and where the soli Is
rich enough to raise a good nay
crop for the growing or mint Is in a
way similar to the growing ot nay.
The mint Is cut with an ordnary
sickle and Is cropped up Just as the
ordinary hay crop being attorwarda
distilled by a special process. If you
uro Interested in getting some roots.
vou can got In touch with Mr. E. B.
Wallace of Albany, of Bird Rlckard
f Monroe Oregon who are presl
lent and secretary respectively ot
the Willamette Valloy Mint Growers
sBoclatlon
'Also you will bo able to get some
grower's experience in producing
mint by getting a copy of the Ore
gon Statesman, published I believe
sometime Inst year, the Issue of the
paper dealing especially with the ,
growing of mint. Copies of this
paper can be obtained iTrom the of
fice of the Oregon Statesman, Salem,
Oregon for five cents apiece.
If you were to figure on growing
mini In the vicinity of Dlllard you
would have to take some rich bot
tom Innd that would hold moisture
well during the summer because
louglns county, so far as I know, has
lightly less summer moisture -thin
most parts of the Willamette valley,
hence It would be necessary to raise
ibis mint on bottom soil which will
hold moisture well during the sum-
men time. Irrigation would be es
pecially bendricfal.
'There Is an opportunity for more
ulnt to be grown In Oregon, pro
vided one takes a good piece or land
ulilvates It intensively and gets a
good yield of oil per acre. The best
yielding areas In this district has pro-
luced forty-five pounds per acre of
lislllled oil, which Is probably twelve
to fifteen pounds more than the av-
rage yield obtained.
"The mint now produced com
mercially Is the English Block or
white mint. The mint found growing
wild In many places has no commer
