PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1925 PEPPERMINT OIL ADVANCES TO $13 MARK HIGH PRICE TO RESULT IN BIG PLANTING HER E With peppermint oil reaching the fabulous sum of $13 a pound to the grower, Dan J. Kry, probubly tne largest oil buyer on tne coust ma tie estimate today that new acre ago of mint plantings next Anring probably will aggregate ae high an 1000 acres, with over 600 acre of new plantings practically defin itely asHured, and the .tigher fig tne of 1000 acres seeming almost a certainty. At the present time at a rough estimate there are 500 acrea In peppermint In thle section of the stale. In addition to the planting In Lablsh Meadows, peppermint 1h grown in the Santlam Bottoms near Talbot, Sidney, west of Jef ferson Bt-.ft also in Lane county, in addition there are about 100 acre out In mint In the neighborhood oi I'ortlund. While there will be new plant Intra In Lubish Meadows, just how extensive these will be remain problematical, an the larger share of those Jandfl are under lense to Japanese for onion and celery and lettuce, and the rental basis Is so . high there Is a question whether owners would consider a proposi tion of overturning such leases 1 any large extent for mint plant ings. The $13 a pound price Is a world record beater. When the heavy ales were on a few months ago and the price of $11.05 a pound was announced there was a gasp heard. The average price during the preceding 10 years had been In the neighborhood of $3 a pound, knd the $11.05 price was almost unbellovablo until verified by the people buying. The greatest quan tity of the crop was purchased by Dan j, Kry. since unit time tin price has been steadily climbing, but Fry states there soema little question but the IZ price indicate the peak of the market to th grower. The average production to about 30 pounds to the acre, which means $390 an acre at the present price. The enormous price paid per pound is the direct cause for the sudden desire on part of grower to expand with their affreage n If all of the new acreage now talk ed of l put In, It will mean that next year there Is fully three times As much mint growing in Oregon n this year. The mint la harvest ed the first year after planting and It le staled there Is virtually a certainty of at least double the crop next year that there Is this year. 3 CENT DROP Chicago, Sept. 1 (AP) Open ing wheat prices unchanged to 2 cents lower, December $1.36 V4 to $1.38 and May $1 39 to $1.404, new style for both months were followed by a slight further mk and then by a rally.

The nuts are well filled and heavy. The weather during the past two weeks has been Just right and all the blighted nuts are off the trees. While the crop this year la a record, It Is short of earlier esti mates. Growers had expected a much larger crop on account of the increased acreage but the light yield around Kugene brought the total figures down.
