Editor Statesman:
' Oregon must eventually become
the drug garden of the world. In
Oregon, more" than anywhere else
In the world, is found that happy
combination of soil and climatic
conditions which is productive of ;
best results in drug cultivation.
It must not be supposed that
all drugs can be; grown profitably
in Oregon.; Obviously such plants
as the opium poppy, which flour
ishes only under a warmer sun
than ours, will never be produced
here to any ' extent But there
are a great many other drug
plants whose natural home is in
the Pacific northwest, or which
might be profitably introduced. I
Cultivation Is Necessary
At one time there was no ne
cessity of drug-r cultivation. Tne
woods contained millions of cas
eara trees, whose; bark was used
in medicine. But the bark collect
ors have now reached the point
where they a"re having more dif
ficulty in keepingthe market sup-
plied with this commodity. Like
wise the users of mint at one time
depended on wild mint for their
6U. but today most of the mint is
obtained from mint farms. Many
other wild drug plants have been
almost "exterminated, making cul
. tlvatirm necessary. -
?j',HyiiieAtP"B Notions
Thefe, is on false impression
which should "be speedlly correct
ed. ' Pseudosclentists,- writing in
Bwspapers - or - magazines, hare
disseminated -the idea that- drug
plants are quickly grown, requir
ing no particular care or cultiva
tion, but yielding bountiful har
vests and rich financial returns
with little expenditure , of- time
and money. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. f Many drug
plants can be grown oly in a cer
tain type of soil, so any attempt
to grow them in a soil to which
they are not adapted would result
only in loss of time and money.
Some drugs, as digitalis, grow so
bountifully in the wild state that
, their cultivation Is not profitable.
Some other drug plants, as golden
- seal, yield no crop" until the third
yearatter planting, although they
riu8t .be- carefully tended during
these three years. j
Harvesting Is Important
The harvesting and drying oi
drugs is quite a problem In Itself.
Gathering a crop a week too early,
era "week too late, may destroy
its value entirely. Likewise, im
proper drying may cause mould
ing, or may result In the loss or
destruction of the valuable oils or
resins in the drug plants. Each
drug plant offers a problem, re
quiring special study. . No rule of
thumb may " be given which will
apply to all.
T!w Marketing,. Too
The marketing-of the product
must also be considered. ,Tbj9
drug manufacturer is not Interest
ed in. buying in small amounts,
and is always willing to give a
better price on large shipments.
This of course would necessitate
large scale production or coopera
tive marketing. '
jThe solution of the above prob
lems will require time.f A great

BIGGEST CRUDE DRUG
ISDl'L J.FRV OF
There Is a Boom in Mint Growing in the Salem District Now,
and Peppermint Oil Is Quoted at Abnormal Prices Time
Will Come When Cascara Bark Will Have to Be Culti
vated and This Is the Place
Flourish
Salem has .the right to the
claim of being the crude drug
center of Oregon partly on ac
count of the fact that the largest
crude drug buyer in this state is
in this city, in the person of Dan'l
J. Fry, wholesale and retail drug
gist, with headquarters at his Sa
lem store, 280 North Commercial
street.
He. buys cascara bark, Oregon
grape root, Oregon balsam fir, oil
of peppermint, blue poppy seed,
and all other crude drugs that are
offered. , . . ;
The country is about out of its
supply of cascara barkj and the
price has been' ruling high, s Mr.
Fry paid 12 cents a pound for the
peel of 1924; for the dry bark
delivered. The prices ji for 1925
have not yet? been fixed, but they
will likely rule lower than last
year, owing to a considerable car
ry over in various hands. Mr.
Fry has a warehouse at Salem and
one at Tillamook, and he has
agents all the way along the whole
of the Oregon coast, from Clat
sop county to the California line
in -Curry county, and over that
line in California. Most "of the
peel is from the mountains In the
coast region, but some of it "comes
from the Cascades. ' f
A Booming Mint '
Oil of peppermint is abnormally
high now. At this time last year
it was $4 a pound, which was
considered good.'- That was $1.35'
a pound -higher. than the year be
fore. . But it is around $12 now,
based on New York quotations,
and has been slightly higher late
ly. The s peak of the war price
was $9 a pound. The reason for
the abnormal prices now is the
fact that a great deal of pepper
mint oil was destroyed in the

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW that Salem
crude drug supplies for Oregon; that every, farm in this
district ought to have a drug garden; that we are already
leading in peppermint production of first quality; that
cascara sagrada has to be cultivated or it will run out, and
the world must have more and: more of it; that the Dean
of the School of Pharmacy, Oregon Agricultural College,
has repeatedly said that drugs can be grown at one-tenth
the expense and with twice the yield that they can be pro
duced in Michigan and Minnesota, and Prof. F. A. Gilfillin
of that department says Oregon must eventually become
the drug garden of the world,
here for the development of a great drug garden industry
which ought to be done quickly? ' :

Nearly All the Rest Can Be Grown in Our Gardens Here
Oregon Crude Drugs Helped Win the War for Demo
cracy We Have Enough Foxgloves to Make the Dig?
talis to Supply the Whole World
The organization of the crude
; i
drug industry in Oregon en an
i
ambitious business basis, cooperat
ively or otherwise, would ' bring
out a lot of wealth that is now
going to waste in our woods and
weeds and wilderness places.
These resources have already been
and are now being utilized to a
slight degree. ! j
Oregon crude drugs helped win
the World war. ,
First, her school children' gath
ered vast quantities of foxglove,
from which to make digitalis. This
was mostly in the coast counties,
where the plant grows i wild on
vast acres and Oregon I3 one of
the four states where it is native,
the others being California, Wash
ington and West Virginia. Chil
dren earned as much as $p la day
in the Toledo district. The Labish
Meadows district north of Salem
has a great deal of the wild fox
glove, and it is easily raised in
gardens. ' :
Second came the great quanti
ties of spagnum moss, found in
our salt bogs, which our people
shipped to France during the war,
for surgical dressings.
Some- very familiar contribu
tions from the Salem district to
the crude drug trade are the fol
lowing: Yerba Buena, a vijtal in
gredient of liniment; licorice, a
fern like plant growing n the
moss on trees; flag, a blue flower;
dandelion, a garden pest but an
effective liver "flopover;" Oregon
grape, cascara (or chittem.ji these
two having been shipped put in
car lots for years; peppermint,
plantain, burdock, tansy, wild
cherry, wild blackberry, and even
"Be quietf" I commanded very
sternly. "It's Mrs. Underwood."
Lillian spoke nonchalantly to
thegirl o"ver my shoulder.
"What's the matter, Katie?
Don't you know my knock yet?
Go to bed, girl, you're aU of a
tremble. I'll bring you up a glass
of hot milkpretty soonifTyoure"
good. Madge, would you mind
coming downstairs with me? I've
some letters I must get off by the
first mail, and I must have your
advice on them." '.
". .W I
"Jeem! Jeem!" - 1
' i t" .
"Surely," I said, with answer
ing nonchalance, though ' I was
certain that the letters were only
a pretence for summoning me.
"I'll come back in a little while,
Katie." I turned to my little
maid. ."And I want to find you
In bed." .
She "stared at both of tiai oddly.
"All right. I go," she said at
last, submissively, and closing her
door, we walked down the corri
dor in silence. It was not until
we were half way down the stairs
that Lillian put her lips to my
ear. . ; - j
"There's somebody, prowling
around the house," she whisper
ed, "and I want your help in find
ing out what's up. There's no use
telling: your " father. You know
what men are. He'd be: out of
the house with Tom Chester after
him, both of- them good targets,
if the -stranger means mischief.
I've put out the lights in all the
rooms downstairs, and I want you
to watch from a window i on one
side of the house, and i I'll ; take
the other side until we see what's
doing."
We crept to our respective sta
tions in silence, and waited
breathlessly for several moments.
Then, outside my window, over
looking the kitchen dOoryard,
there drifted the dim Outline of a
man's figure, and then there came
a low knock at the kitchen door.

j But Oregon's contribution to
the drug trade does not end, even
with this list, for the gum from
the fir trees is being utilized, and
from the cedars; healing mud Is
coming from some of its southern
springs, while there are mineral
