"Strictly Private" By Quinn Hall I Thinks Hts (fr ' ' Peppermint Crop For 1942 to Be Larger Than 1941 A special early-season survey made by the US department of agriculture during the past 10 days indicates that the commer dal acreage of peppermint and spearmint to be grown for oil in 1942 probably will be 21 percent 1 larger, than the acreage harvested in 1941 and the largest acreage since that of 1930. The present outlook is for a total of 46,090 ' acres for harvest for oil in 1942 compared with 38,040 acres har vested in 1942. In 1930, a total of 67,500 acres was harvested. ft.
