OUR MINT INDUSTRY BOOM J r " The acreage in mint in Oregon ran up to around 2500 for the present year, from not much more than 600 acres last year,,' The Washington acreage this year was r.bout 1500 'And this 4000 total will double for next year and become 8000 acres it present prospects do not materially change. Salem district peppermint oil was a year ago quoted in Nework at $27 to $30 a pound. Two years ago the quota tion was $6 to f 8 a pound. A wire report of yesterday placed the price there at $4.10 a pound. The same authority put yes terday price in Salem at $3.80 a pound. ; J ,? There is a profit in, producing .peppermint oil in this district even at $3.80 & pound. Some of our growers say it is better than $1.25 wheat, at $2 a pound, and of course it was a bonanza crop last year, and a very profitable crop the year before, and also this year, for those who sold early, or con tracted at $5 to $6 a poundt But peppermint growing i a likely to be overdone here, and go through a period of medium or small profits, or even losses ; but it will persist, and the industry become stabilized Because the finest and richest peppermint oil in the world is produced in the Salem district I An oil with 51 per cent of menthol content against the 86 per cent of the oil produced in Michigan, Indiana and New -York, our competitors in this country "t . And an oil that ranks at the top for purity of flavor ' So that dealers pay more for our oil than for the eastern oil. ' , ; And the eastern oil must be mixed with the Oregon oil in order to give it the proper flavor. Besides, our growers get more pounds of oil to the acre. : AH these are tremendous advantages They give our growers what amounts to a franchise in the profitable production of peppermint oil, for which there Mrs. John Lutx and Mrs. Alex Streeter made a business trip to Wood burn Tuesday. ; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Menden hall and family were in Salem Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Johnson and da"hter were in Salem Saturday. Sarah Xaftzger and Areta Mae Naftzger were at Mabel Menden hall's Monday evening.

Mabel Mendenhall and Mrs. Carl Johnson and daughter Em ma, snent Wednesday afternoon at the Manning schoolhouse attend ing a Thanksgiving program. P"'her'-o Vaffger was a caller at Mrs. Carl Johnson's Thursday afternoon. The recent rains have, caused Lake Labish to overflow. Mrs. John Lutz. Mrs. Carl John son, and Mabel Mendenhall have been havine a quiltine bee this week at Mrs. Charles Menden hall's. John Lutz and Lyla Lutz and Alex Streeter were in Salem Wednesday morning. George Miles railed on Charles Mendenhall Monday afternoon., Lyle Lutz has just returned from California and is visiting with his brother, John Lutz, for a few weeks. Charles Mendenhall was at C. A.

GETTING SKINNIER EVERY DAY Hollow In Cheeks and N'eck Grow ing Deeper Every Week Something Must Be Jone . Done Right Xow Quick and is a rapidly growing demand, especially in the candy vand gurn trades of :the United States. 'r So we can produce peppermintlflil here-at' lower cost' than It can be turned out elsewhere in this country ; because we get more to the acre ; because we get a higher quality worhimore per pound; because our overhead is smaller, 'our land.fbeing Iheapker f,orvthe principal thing. Av: 1 . j If i ptir people will prepare for! it, rthey can make their boomiiri peppermint persist and become solid growth Natural conditions iavor them'enough to make this a certainty Salem'should have a peppermint refinery' " . The advantages would be many. .In the first place, the full profits would be brought here. In the second place, the prod uct would be standardized, and higher prices would be realized. ? The following are some outstanding hings concerning the franchise of the Salem district on mint growing; and the Same .things will hold good for spearmint growing : Mint was used in medicine 400 years before the birth of Christ; ,Lnd perhaps a great deal longer. But it is only of late years that the demand has grown to enormous and ever increasing proportions. . .That the farmers of the Willamette valley are destined to supply ' the Increased demand there is little doubt because they can do thjs at a good prof It. f y -' ' T V ' Peppermint Is a prof itablftxrop: ; t f - JJecause it is of hardy growth and has-fewer natural enemies than4 almost any other farm crop; Because It produces a good crop the first year that it is planted. . : Because it produces a good crop for several years after the first ear with very little labor some growers say ten years; ' Because it does not have to be marketed immediately but can be held without deterioration until market prices are favorable; - i - Because the crop is of such small bulk that the cost of hauling to market Is practically nothing and the distance of the, grower from ' transportation facilities does not have to be considered', , 'Because the oil commands a good price, taking one year with , another, which affords the grower a good margin where the land is properly 'Adapted to mint. "v- Our mint industry will persist, because of the higher production and ' duality of the Oregon article. , Tens of thousands'of thin, run down men yes, and women, too are getting discouraged are riving up all hope of ever being able to take on flesh and look healthy and strong.
