SALEM AS THE CRUDE
COUNTRY
A good deal of water has
the matter of the crude drug
Statesman a year ago
, I For instance, there has come a boom in the mint indus
try, since it has been so well established that our district
can raise the highest quality mint in the world; yielding the
largest menthol content; producing the most pounds to the
acre; refining the highest quality of peppermint oil known;
setting at a high premium over any other.
j These are certainly distinctive advantages that must
cause the present activity in the industry to continue indef
initely. The Oregon Mint Growers Cooperative Association
is how organized and active, and this association has in con
templation, the putting up of a refinery, in order to better
standardize the quality of the Oregon product
And, by all means, Salem should have this refinery, and
car) get it with the right kind of interest and activity. That
would fix Salem as the center of the coming great American
mint industry.
So much for mint.
In cascara sagrada, the
pioneers, Salem has long been the market center. This lead
will be maintained if the owners of the cheap lands in the
out of the way districts will plant the trees, which we must
. - , m a a mm - ....
come to, ana wmcn.is now being done in British Columbia.
And then there should be
one
of our farms. Prof. A- Ziefle. dean of th School nf Phr.
m&ky of the Oregon Agricultural College, says this district
can produce crude drugs at one-tenth the expense and twice
the; yield that they can be in Michigan and Minnesota. That
is abroad and most encouraging statement. The great crude
drug gardens of this country are in those states.
, fProf. iefle has for several years recommended the es
tablishment of a drug garden at the College, and this will no
doubt be done, and by all means ought to be done, in order
to show defiifitely to our farmers what a great resource they
havja; what new money crops they might raise, in furnishing
the trade with its crude drugs.
'.- We should, more and more, do the things and raise the
thinga we can do and raise best; better than other countries
or sections . ;
; j And crude drugs are undoubtedly in this class, and there
for too much cannot be said, nor too much done, towards
pus lirig this coming great industry, with Salem its market
ing and-manufacturing and merchandising and shipping
center.

He made it very plain that a form

would give much greater effici

TO
Betterment Fund May Be
Applied to Flax Payroll,
Says Opinion
After maintenance of convicts
and a reasonable support of their
dependents has been taken care of
it is le"al tov the state to hp
money from the state prison bet
terment tund to anply to the pay
roll of the flax industry at the
penitentiary, according to an opin
ion of Attorney flenpral Van Win
kle, in reply to an inquiry by
Governor Olcott.
The attorney general holds that J
this is proper under chapter 275, !
laws of 19.' 1, and under statutes
enacted at previous sessions.
The act of 1921 reads:
"The governor of the state is
hereby authorized and empowered
to make surh rules and regula
tions as he may deem necessary
providing for the disposition of
Moneys earned by any convict or
convicts employed in any indus
try at the Oregon state penitenti
ary: provided, however. that
such moneys shall be applied first
toward the cost of maintenance
cf such convict or convicts; sec
ond, toward the reasonable sup
port of any dependent or depen
dents of said convict or convicts
who may in the opinion of the
warden of the penitentiary or
the governor be entitled to such
support. In the event any sur
plus remains from the sale of the
product of the labor of such con
vict or convicts after the expense
of his maintenance and the reas
onable support of his dependent
or dependent is provided for.
such surplus shall become a part
of the betterment fund of said
penitentiary."

Queens of Beauty Mount
Dancing White Horses
And Sing Grand Opera
In days of yore, the "tired
business man" was prone to oc
cupy a seat In the front row at the
snappiest and most daring comedy
the Al G. Barnes circus, for be it
known the former singing and
dancing queens have mounted
horses and invaded the white
tops.
This new departure is said to
have been started by the Barnes
big four-r.ng wild animal circus
which comes to Salem May 7.
As described by a Barnes rep
resentative, it is an operatic
chorus of 40 Rirls of noticeable
pulchritude. 16 of them beauties
and the other 24 not at all hard
on the eyes; clad in costumes that
cost Barnes many dollars, but
containing about as much filmy
material as one-piece bathins
suits. They are mounted on 40
horses that dance while the girls
sing grand opera, led by Miss Bes
sie Harvey, the original prima
donna of the circus. This operatic
esquestrienne extravaganza occu
pies a fcont line of 440 feet, and
during its rendition, thousands of
love birds descend on the fair
choristers.
And then, for var eties sake,
sea-lions play ball while a chim
panzie umpires the game, camels
Jiggle wolves from their humps,
while girls wrestle tigers and men
fight grizzly bears.
