MINT INDUSTRY IN SALEM DISTRICT "Editor Statesman :'As I have had several inquiries in regard to the culture of the plant mint, I am writing you to ask if it would be posible for you to publish in your paper or write personally of the culture and care of mint. What land is best adapted to it. Where the nearest' mills are for the pressing of the oil, and any other information which would prove of benefit to a prospective grower. If you can not furbish the information, kindly advise where I may pro cure same." The above is one of several letters received lately by The Statesman.! There have also1 been numerous personal in quiries at this office, ajid the Salt m Slogan issues of last year and the year before, devoted to the mint industry, have been exhausted. '. , : C Hence a new review of the industry at this time, in a number of articles in this issue. vThere is also a list of the names of the Willamette valley growers published half of them In Marion county. Prospective growers may secure personal information from any of these men already engaged in tho industry. of the present mint boom Is In Marion; Polk and Yamhill coun ties.: This will lead up naturally to a mint refinery in Salem, and the ' industry will become one of the big things of the' Salem dis trict, if! it proceeds along the right lines of close co-operation, to guarantee quality and secure1 fair prices. S i biiterton is surely coming to the front as a manufacturing city, and as a solid and growing city in every way. The record of: the Silverton Blowpipe company is an The textile workers of the country are organizing to follow !j.he clothing workers in a' big union ; outside of ths American Federation of Labor. This is a. poor time for! the leaders who di rect the forces affiliated with the A. F. of I, to pull off a nation wide strike, j They are riding to a fall. Mrs. Nicholas Longwortb, old est daughter of President Roose velt, is being mentioned as a pos sible candidate for United States senator from Ohio, in opposition to Senator Pomerene, who is said to have "smiled broadly" at the prospect. It seems a rather na tural reaction. I , , . PERSONAL MENTION FROM AMITY DISTRICT 'i " 1 ' 1 . ' : ' China Pheasants Scarce this Year in Polk County ! DALLAS, Or., OctJ 19. (Spe cial to ;Tha Statesman.) Dallas are experienc- Briefly, here are the high points: Our district produces a peppermint oil with 51 per cent of menthol content, against 36 per cent for the eastern oils. : Ranks as high as the best in the world in purity of flavor; higher than .eastern oils. . : Produces more to the acre. . . Is of hardy growth and has fewer natural enemies than almost any other farm crop. , . Produces almost a full crop the first year. , Produces a good crop for several years after the first with a minimum of laborv ;. Does not have to be marketed immediately ; will keep without deterioration for a number of years. 1 Small of bulk ; hauling to market a negligible expense. As nearly 'fool proof ' as any crop grown. Takes very little expert labor. , . ; There is just one, limiting factor in the production of peppermint in this district, and that is suitable soil. While this is a natural. mint country, and the plants' will grow almost anywhere, it will 'not prove profitable excepting pn rich, moist soil, such as slightly sandy first bottom lands near streams and lakes, beaverdams and marsh sons. 1 The methods of cultivation are explained in articles in this issue, and of distillation: especially the latter, in the article of .G. J, Moisan", secretary of the Oregon Mint Grow ers Cooperative association. . r - '.Thc roots are as easy to plant as potatoes. The roots from an. acre will make about ten acres; yearling roots are best. As to "the nearest mills for the pressing-of the oil," men tioned by , the correspondent quoted above, tnese miiis, which are not mills but stills, will have to be 'built for each con siderable planting, or near, neighbors with small plantings may join in building neighborhood stills. They are not ex pensive. 4The Silverton Blow Pipe Co., described in this issue, is a pioneer, in the making of peppermint stills. It is plain how that Salem hasi become! t:ie center of the peppermint industry. 1 hat it can De maae a great industry goes without saying, because the natural conditions are here. ' It is also plain that the industry may be made more prof itable and become more quickly stabilized by the closest kind of cooperation. The growers must stick together in every way. They must build a refinery, too, and Salem is the central point for this refinery, v Most of the readers of The Statesman of this morning will be surprised to know that one of the most extensive and best equipped metal working plants in the state is located at Silverton. The article on the Pep and Progress pagesdes crlblng this Institution and what jcs and what it has accomplished and howjt.has; grown is an inspiring one. "Business is wherever you make it," That motto has been proven true by the people whi have built up the Silverton Blow Pipe company, whose f'SIBLQCO' products go all over the coast; and whose skilled workmen are kept busy every day in the year throughout the years. , :: pheasant hunters 'IB mei poorest iuck in years. Never before have Cjhina pheas ants been so scarce as they are In Polk county and the Pob White quails, 4n which the season is al so open this year.;' seems to have disappeared with the pheasants. Large numbers of hunters who went out the first day reported that they got: but one or two birds, wjhere in former years they got the limit the first day of sea son." 1: t : .
