G. IS. Bouquet, of the department of vegetable gar dening, and the date being early 1921:) . There is undoubtedly much in terest being taken in mint growing in the northvest at th'e present time. 'This is 1 due to various things which have had a tendency to publish tbe high value of Ore gon oil, and It Is very evident that there are numbers of people who are becoming interested in grow ing mint who have but a small idea concerning the nature ot the crop and its care after is has1 been grown. : Correspondence to the State Agricultural college has been quite extensive during past weeks, asking for . information about growing mint. . Especial attention is called concerning the following factors relative to spring planting in 1921. i First of all, it 4s known that Qregon oil now commands' as good a market price as any peppermint oil that is offered from any other part of the country.

MirfT ENDUSTDY OF 0. A. C. AUTHflHin that Oregon mint oil has a reputa tion that must be maintained and preserved. Nothing should be done to soil this reputation in the-eyes of the trade who purchase the oil. Get the Right riams This being true, it is important that no mini should be grown commercially in the state that is not grown from plants coming from a field of standard strain' of mint, which has already proven the quality of the oil previously produced. Mint fields from which plants 1 are obtained for future planting should be certified as to their value Introducing oil of a high quality, so that future grow ers' of mint may get plants of the very best strain possible. Don't Raise Wild Mint j Letters are constantly reaching this college and experiment sta tion concerning the question of wild mint growing on the farm, and whether it is suitable f for growing commercially, and worttt distilling. To ; all of these in quiries' the reply is that no mint in any wise should be cultivated and receive any attention what soever, but that which is planted from some known strain having previously produced oil that is of the best market value. There is more or less danger in wild mint growing on the place, which mght accidentally get mixed up in" the cultivated kind and the two dis tilled together with the result that the good oil may be tainted, and its value would be considerably de preciated. : 3 Support the Association! . It is to the interest of every grower of - mint at the present time, and everyone who intends to grow mint, to become a member of the state association and to lend aid to It 1 in any way, so that it may be the biggest factor in putting the mint Industry ( on a high plane and in keeping the business standardized. The officers of the mint associ ation are as follows: ; E. B. Wal lace, Albany, Oregon, president; Bird' Rickard, Monroe, Oregon. secretary r treasurer. Inquiries concerning where to get roots and other matters pertaining to the association work can be taken np with either of these two officers of the association.

Ed) ' -' 1 -t Statement By President Mil ler About Reorganization Plans Being Made j (The following Is a dispatch of December 3d from Sheridan, the home of the president of the Ore growers Cooperative association!) 1 Rumors, circulated freely throughout the Pacific northwest and more particularly Oregon, to the effect that reorganization of the Oregon Growers Cooperative association indicated that the as sociation was about to wreck it self on financial rocks were spiked In a vigorous statement released here today by .Kenneth C. Miller, president, following his return from Salem, where a meeting of the board of directors had been called to discuss the perplexing problem that had arisen following the receni announcement of the intention of the association to re organize. The original announce ment had met with approval of bankers, growers and business in terests of the state supporting the association.. . E HIGH GRADE OREGON GROWERS N good coin OREGON PEPP Mark Aspinwall Says the Marketing Conditions are Bet tering as the Years Go by, and the Outlook for Mint in the Future Is Very Good The Methods of Planting and Harvesting the Mint Editor Statesman: Your letter of November 28th at hand and contents noted.. In re ply will say that my short time In the mint industry has revealed . a number of things of interest to me. Peppermint is more or less1 of a water Tlant and requires consid erable moisture in the ground In order to get a good growth. ' I find "that marshy or beaverdam land is the best soil adapted for the growing of mint. Planting of Mint - The' planting should be done In the early spring, about March 'if possible, or even a little earlier. The roots should be; planted in rows' about three feet apart, lay ing the roots in 'one continuous row; either plow them under In every third furrow or If the ground is In good condition mark it off and furrow out- places for the roots which you can cover with a harrw or levelef. Mint can be harrowed until It Is up about five or six inches high without any damage being done to it. After that the rows can be followed with a cultivator (it straight enough) until time to lay It aside. Care should be taken to leave r the ground as level as possible, as if there are Joo many ridges left in cultivating It 'will canse trouble in catting. The Harvesting ' , The proper time to cut. mint , , But since. . the., rumors became prevalent jthat with the expiration of this ' year the association would not enforce contracts next year, great uneasiness has prevailed, causing ja.disttn.c.lly unsettled con dition among the horticultural in terests, of Oregon, declared Mr. Miller!! ! Since the association is strongly financed by Portland bankers, the statement of Mr. Miller will be keenly appreciated by them. ' ' Statement Denies Rumors "There has never been the least thought or intention on the part ot the 'board ot directors not to enforce contracts in 1924 nor to fail . to provide proper facilities for growers who have fruit to deliver," declares the statement. "The board would like to have it understood that the organization has no financial difficulties except the original one of under financ ing. The association finances to day are in better shape than they have ever been. fDeliveries of fruit .have been more prompt in 1923 than in 1922." Mr. Miller concedes, however, that after 1924 it is -possible the Oregon ' growers' association may be' merged with other organiza tions ad a result of the single commodity Idea now sweeping the country. . "At present," the statement ex plains, "the association handles not only canned, dried and fresh fruits, but nuts also and in some districts vegetables. It is now pro posed to turn the handling of some of these products over to local organizations and others to state-wide organizations which are now in process of formation. It was in this sense that the word reorganization was used in con nection with the announcement of the plans of the Oregon Growers to reorganize. "While some of us believe that the single commodity idea can and perhaps will be carried too far in western Oregon and particularly M NT S O P T 0 TESTS VERf HIGH , "; is when it is about two-thirds In bloom. However, it is not advis able to wait too long for it to bloom, as often times the season for distilling would be too late if you waited for the blooms. I have always made it a point to start distilling from the first to the fif teenth of August, so as to be through before the fall rains start. The mint should be about two thirds dry tp distill in good shape and should not be left in the tanks for more than 45 minutes, as the different elements from va rious weeds will distill over and make a poor grade 6f oil. Oregon Oil High Grade Oregon peppermint is of a very high grade and tests considerably higher than lots of oil raised in different 'parts of , the United States. My oil tested 65.5 per cent menthol, which Is 15 per cent above what the U.S.P. test re quires, and 7.5 per cent asetate, being 2.5 per cent above U.S.P., which is an average of Oregon oil. Marketing conditions are bet tering as the years go by, and the outlook for mint In the future is very good, as you are able to take care of considerable acreage alone and the price looks good and the demand for Oregon mint oil Is In creasing considerably.

"This point, however, will be de termined by the sentiment and de sires of the growers themselves and the board . of directors will be governed absolutely by the sentiment of the growers. In or der to make itself absolutely clear the board would like it understood that the association has no finan cial difficulties except the original one of under financing. Pools have been closed much earlier than in the past years and while returns have not always run as high as growers and officials would like, still' they have com pared favorably with the average return to other growers. In com paring : returns' 'people are prone( to compare their returns with. thai highest return' they know, about This is not a fair comparison, as the average should.be used.' "As an example of this Uie as sociation 1922 returns on prunes will not be as. high as some indi vidual growers' received, but when you consider that many growers sold for. 3 cents a pound and even as low as 2 cents and that some growers still have their 1922 crop on hand with no sale in prospect the association's return on 20, 000,000 pounds' will be above the average."'-;.' . :, , :-: Back Dividends Paid During 1923 the association has not only paid np the back -dividends on preferred stock but has retired one series of preferred stock and has accumulated a fund almost- sufficient for tha retire More and Larger Those You Have Why utter with Stomach if j i t ' --'J J ENVOYS' OFFICES DYNAMITED IN PHILADELPHIA I " r A ' -"-"j ieraeni. o one was seriously curt, at the Spanish Consulate about 1 A. uvuauM.c ia iu iuc uant Dttuain? ana the bomb WA nlarprl Consul's offices.

' Reverting to the enforcement of contracts', the statement says: As before stated, the contracts ex pire with the year 1924 and it is necessary that plans for 1925 and the future be not only discussed during the coming winter but that they be formulated and actually started. Whatever work in this line is left unfinished by March 1, 1924, will be exactly at the same place when the contracts ex pire. The reason for this Is that after March 1 the growers are too busy with their, work to attend meetings and in many instances too tired at night to give the sub ject proper thought. "In addition to all that, the of ficials connected: with the organ ization become tied down with the handling and sales . of' fruits that begin, coming in after 4hat -tinre: For these reasons the board began talking reorganization about a month ago and this led 1 to the many rumors already mentioned. "While the organization is bound by contract to handle the fruit of all members this will not prevent sale- of plants-during the year 1924, whenever in the judg ment of the "board of directors It is good business to do-so. Owing to the varied number of products handled ' and j the small scattered tonnage - which was originally signed in many districts it Is pos sible that some plants will be sold and - the various arrangements made 5 for the handling of mem bers' fruits in these districts.
