with the high quality plant and thus destroy the reputation
Oregon now has for the superior quality produ'et. . Oregon
mint is of too great value to permit the growth of uncertified
plants and then of fer the oil thereof as Oregon oil.
: There should be standard, uniform methods- of growing
and distilling the mint crop in order to retain the oil at its
present high standard. This 'procedure necessitates organi
zation. And to accomplish this very thing the Oregon Mint
association exists. G. J. Moisan, Gervais, is its secretary.
All growers should join and profit from this association.
The use of peppermint oil is increasing with the con
sumption of candy and other confections. The Salem dis
trict offers soil and climate unexcelled for mint growing. -The
prospects for future markets for it are encouraging. And
on suitable lands it should be a very profitable crop.

1 The beet sugar plants of the country are about to begin
ithe practice of salvaging the granulated sugar content of the
molasses that is a by-prodtct of the business. I This means
-that approximately 900 pounds of perfectly white and market
table sugar of a high grade will be taken from every ton of
moiasses alter which the residue will go for stock food,
i . 'Big business" explains this latest step in the matter of
efficient and economical treatment of sugar beets. Only big
plants can effectually salvage the sugar in molasses.
Attention is called to this matter solely to make again
round to justify itself. In this .modern age the most expen
sive manner of transacting business is what is known as the
small scale" method., The overhead in the small plant is
relatively large, workers there cannot become specialists,and;
therefore, experts some materials must go to waste as when
the small slaughter house finds it impracticable to. salvage
only the beef and hide when it butchers, and transportation
and marketing costs are inevitably high to the small under
taking by comparison with what they cost the big concern.
In the methods of big business lie the chief hope of the
reduction in the cost of living. If wages are not to be reduced
-and that should be a last resort then lowering production
costs by economies in time and material and by "mass pro
duction" practices all attributes and practices of the big
unit in business and manufacturing-is the only road to the
desired goal. - ,.
The beet sugar producers are merely taking a leaf from
the book of the meat packers, the railroads, the automobile
makers and various other exemplars Of the modern industrial
style. The "poor man's friend" the big business unit
deserves credit for every move made and which increases

There is something in the argument that big business
makes for lowering prices for the consumer !
But there is a limit. There is a point at which big busi
ness may get topheavy with overhead and detail, in most
lines. Then smaller units and individual effort and initiative
offer greater advantages in lowering costs. j
, The beet suga. industry is scarcely a case in point, any
way. It is essentially cooperative in its nature, if it is to be
permanently successful In any community. It! is either a
tfifty-fiity proposition between owners of factories and
i growers of beets . j
, Or it is cooperative, the growers owning the factories.
It is the privilege and the duty of the federal and state
governments to aid in experimentation in making for better

operating beet sugar factories. , i v ?
Salem willliave a beet sugar factory, and Jt will be big
enough to take, advantage of the economies of the industry;
and it will be either a fifty-fifty proposition or entirely
cooperative ' . . . 1
And there should be no delay in getting the first factory
here on the way.. It can be done right now, if the right people
will get behind it. .' I
THE MINT INDUSTRY
At the present time there are indications of increasing
interest in mint growing irr Oregon." This condition is no
doubt produced by the publicity given to the superior quality
of ; Oregon-peppermint oil and its high market price. Oil
manufactured from mint raised here irihe Willamette valley
tests as high as fifty-one per cent menthol a' quality well
above the average. i ;
About six hundred acres are planted annually to this
, crpp in this section of the state and two distilling plants are
located within a few miles of Salem. Both soil and climate
are here favorable to the growing crop and there is suffi
cient labor available for its conversion into the manufactured
product. .- . '-.'J" VC"
The price 'of peppermint oil reached last year $4.10 a
pound and the general estimate for this year's crop is still
higher.; The price will be influenced by the quantity pro
duced from Michigan and Indiana fields wherel the bulk of
the world's supply is grown. And the estimated production
of these states is not above normal, for this year.
- Oregon has large areas of deep, loose, fertile soil which
thoroughly drained are very congenial to the growth of both
peppermint and spearmint. Swamp lands are best, although
fertile uplands adapted to the production of potatoes and
jeonv will yield profitable, mint crops.-. ? ,;l ; r
