Oregon now produces the fin est quality ' of peppermint and spearmint oil in the world. Ow ing to this reputation, Oregon oil is In demand in the eastern mar kets and commands a high price. A State Grower's Association has been formed to further standard ization of cultivating and distill ing methods, to promote. unity, in the quality of oil produced, and .o protect thd right .of .growers. More1 than 600 acres of land In the Willamette valley are now de- voted to: the raising of mint. The climate and soil here are especial ly adapted, to this crop. Mint thrives in a fertile, well-drained soil i retentive of moisture, and in an, upland, bandy loam. These requirements'are to be found in the drained swamp lands and roll ing bills about Salem. ' The labor necessary to cultivate and har vest the crop and to manufacture the-oil' is also available here. Mint Is a perennial plant, propagated . by means of runners from Iwhich new plants are produced- The two most commonly cultivated varieties of peppermint (Mentha Peperita) are the black and white. . Black mint is exten sively! :grown because of Its hardi ncsa and adaptability, to , various climates.'

There is at present little demand for it upon the market. .Mint is quite free from diseases when cultivated carefully. The cround should, before piauiuig in me spring, nave-neen. given a two-years summer fallow and have been ploughedand har rowed thoroughly.

Bx, JUCHAB.D STOLZ -The planting of 'commercial-wai-rtut orchards in the Willam ette valley has - met 'with varied success. Many large plantings bav.e been made by promoters and gipwejrs U9 nave ni uuen jifiun Ciallr able to give their orchards proper cave and attention. . Neg lect in cultivation and planting in 1 nap roper soil has caused many brchards to grow 'bo slowly ,,Uiat owners have abandoned their in vestments and the industry has suffered. ; : The wonderful crops harvested from single trees and small plani irg3 that have been properly cared for, have demonstrated that wal nut culture can be made immense ly iprofitable. On every large farm a five acre tract of garden soil, well drained and fertilized, should be planted to grafted Franquette or Mayette walnut trees. 50 feet apart with proper pollenizers. On this piece of land the farmer should raise the kale,' corn, pota toes and garden truck required on the place. - ' These five acre tracts will pro' duce more net income when the trees have reached maturity 'than the rest of any 100 acre grain farm' in-the Willamette valley. This statement may seem extrava gant, but it is easily substantiated by the crops that have been harf vested fro mtrees In dooryards iii Salem. :f The production of a sin gle tree has been sold for over 1100.

But do not allow these results of improper culture to de ter you from, plantlng'a small part of your farm to ; walnuts oryou will lose the opportunity of build ing up a competency that may be obtained almost without cost. j I have had the, opportunity to observe the tigorous growth of trees on our own farm, and I am convinced that nothing can beat walnuts if growers can be educat ed in the first principles ofthe in dustry proper selection of soil. Intense cultivation, heavy fertili zation, and planting 50 feet apart frith no filler frees.. Walnuts are conditions will yield a steady in great feeders and under the above come worthy of anyone's 'consid eration. i !
