Toicerys STAYTON A Stayton family, the William Towerys, who operate two mint farms in this area, is featured this month in ads of the First National .Bank of Portland in its "Building Oregon Together" series. After farming in California, New Mexico and Oklahoma for 14 years without any particular success, the William Towerys tried their luck in Oregon and the scented fields have yielded sweet profits. They also operate one of the largest stills to distill the mint oil. Back in 1925, Miss Maurice Cox visited her sister, Mrs. Yancy Mc Gill, near here. Another guest in the McGill home was William Towery, a single man. Later in the year, they were married" in California. The. Towerys packed and arriv ed first in Oregon at Dever in Linn county. Not long afterward, in 1939, they rented 52 acres in the North Santiam district, which was later bought by them and is now the home place. Another place of 80 acres is near Jeffer son. eight miles away. Towery grew a diversified crop when he took over the North Santiam farm, raising vegetables for the canneries and the fresh markets in Portland and Califor nia. Towery went into mint growing seriously about five years ago, obtaining the first roots from Brownsville. Combining with relatives and friends Towery first built a two- tub still. Buyers from as far east but today they have co-operated with others and operate a five- ub still. Buyers from as far east as Kalamazoo, Mich., now buy the oil from the Stayton area, and a new station was recently estab lished at Talbot.
